JAPANESE ANIMATION

Image
I like japanese animation, I used to watch this kind of progams with my friends and cousins at home. We used to play all day and then we stopped at 5pm to go to the living room and watched series we liked as Ranma 1/2, Sailor moon, Los caballeros del Zodiaco, Dragon Ball, etc..these television series were part of our lives when we were children. I think one of my favorite ones was Dragon Ball, maybe this is more like a "boys serie" but I really like the story, wich has a lot of fantasy, and the characters, it was all very funny. Another serial I liked was Sailor moon because this was anime for girls, you always choose a character you liked the most and talked about it later with friends, I liked the songs and I used to remember the lyrics. Anyway I like all kind of animation, walt disney animation or japanese animation, but after watching this series when I was a child I kept watching other series when I grew up, there is a thousand of series you can choose from, of any kind...

MY IDEAL JOB

I think my ideal job should be related to something about my carrer, specially museums or cultural institutions. In this area finding a job  in other cities  is something hard, because you have to stay in Santiago, but I would love to find a job in some region or near the beach. Anyway, I could keep studying for ever and have my own bussiness in another area, for example a bar at the beach, I think that would probably be my ideal job, having my own bussiness, doing what I want, being my own boss, living in some place I really like, being quite and happy with a project for a living. I'd like to do a master in arts and develop a bussiness like a bar or restaurant, something small and nice. I think this isnt so difficult to achieve, I think you have to know what you want in life, and if you really want it everything is going to be fine, you have to persist and be positive.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

I'd really like to travel abroad, I have visited just some places in Chile, north and south, and I'd really like to know other countries, I can think of in a lot of countries I'd like to visit, but if I could choose I'd probably travel to south american countries first. I think one of my favorite countries would be Brazil, first of all because I think this country has incredible landscapes and places to visit such as the Amazon rainforest, Rio de Janeiro, beaches and islands...I can imagine myself on  a tropical beach , drinking some caipirinha and just relaxing. I have a friend who travelled to Brazil and decided to stay and live there, this friend told me that brazilian people are really cheerful and very friendly, they have a tropical climate, a great biodiversity, a lot of beautiful places to visit, and a great night life. If I traveled to Brazil I'd like to go to the beach and do ecotourism and adventure travel...but I'd also like to do some  historic ...
