About music

The music isn’t a very important topic for me, because I don’t have any favorite style in particular, but I like many kind of music.
However, the music is very important for me. Often I listen music in my daily routine, when I take a shower, When I dress, when I drive my car or walk to the bus stop. I like listen romantic songs too and sing it to my boyfriend. My problem is that I love sing my favorits songs, but I sing very bad! Is a shame… Nor I’ve never plays any instruments.
Other important things is that I love dance. I could dance every night pop music, reggaeton, salsa, and others, but I love folklor music.
I love folklor dances, especially Tirana dances and cueca. My boyfriend and I dance cueca together, but we have Little time for this. We usually dance cueca in the Independence day of Chile, but I wish learn to dance it more and best. In my scholar years, I danced in a folklor group, and I loved it, but when I started the university, my time was decreased, and I can’t keep on dancing.
I wish and I supposed to dance next year, because I will be finishing my career, and I hope have more time for my favorite activities.

POST 3: From a "transantiaguina"

Transantiago was one of the most important themes in the start of government of Bachellet. This didn’t have her idea, but start its operation with her order.
In the beginning, the change of public transport was very difficult and uncomfortable for the most santiaguinos, principally because the new bus are slowest than the old bus. So, the transport needed more time and planning, not only for the slowness f movement of the bus, but too because now was needed load the card with wish to pay the ticket or pass, the BIP card.
At first moment, the public doesn’t knew how use the new system, in addition because the new bus has new tours too, and more short. This caused many rows, larges waits, places where there were no tours, and problem with the bus stops. This situation caused very disagreement in the public opinion in general.
For me, the new system didn’t affect my transport towards the places most frequently visited. But, I think that load the card is very overwhelming, because I often don’t remember which money I have, I need more time, and no always is there a center of load near of the house, university, job, or friend’s house.
Now, Transantiago has been improved in tours, control of pays, use of card BIP, and bus stops. I think that this system is better than the old, but, sometimes I miss the particular bus with lights of colours, funny music and many stickers in the windows…
