There are many places that i want to go. Such as Rome, Petra's city,Greece , the Mayan ruins of Tikal, Palenque and Chichen Itzá, Machu Pichu and Cuzco, The Taj Mahal in India, the Forbidden city of China, St.Basil's cathedral and the Red Square of Moscow, etc.
I'm also very glad to have been given the opportunity to visit Brazil southern regions, the Iguazu waterfalls, Buenos Aires and Paraguay in a study tour and Bariloche with my family. I also know several Chilean places like Chiloe, Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Pullehue's Lake, the Guanaqueros Bay, La Serena and Constitucion.
I would like to know Chile's northern regions, I went to Iquique once but I was a little child and i can't remember very much.

But talking of one place, there is a place that attracts me very much and that is Japan and Far Eastern Russia. I've allways liked Japanese and Russian culture, and i'm interested in both.


First i would travel to Vladivostok city, a place where Western and Far Eastern culture collide and coexist.

Named "Ruler of the East" from Russian words Vladet and Vostok, it's the Hearth of Russian Far East and a beautiful city with hills and wonderful sea views.



Then i'd take a boat to Hokkaido in Japan, it's the northern most island of Japan. There they make beautiful snow festivals, and is also homeland of the Ainu people, a indigenous people that where the first settlers of japan, and were conquered by actual Japanese



I'd then Travel south to the main island Honshu, to Tokyo visiting the Shibuya Station, and the statue of Hachiko, a dog that waited for his master even before his death, a beautiful story.


If I find a work there, I don't mind staying to live there, I would like to go with friends or my mother, but if I'm alone that's fine too.

And yes, I'm saving money to travel there some day xD.

Music to Cheer up

When I feel sad, I usually listen to jazz, and blues. That music makes me feel better, like I’m on a rainy night walking on the streets or something like that.
I like to go with my mood and a relaxing music like jazz and expressive music like blues are just great for me in times of sad mood. Random and soft jazz entertains me and makes me feel in fine.
I like to go with the flow, if you know what I’m saying, cheerful music is just not fine with me in times of sadness, I prefer to listen music according with my mood, when it’s party time the most awesome music, the most cheerful and loud the best. When it’s relaxing or thinking, soft, random, relaxing and expressive music are best suited in my opinion.
Music is just great; one of mankind better creations, besides, probably the diffusion of music in present time is extensive.  I don’t like very much the use of mp3 or headphones; use music to cheer up your mood is something that you can only do today, perhaps, too much noise had twisted our minds and the self-knowledge, especially in feelings matter.
I think music must be used in special situations. Using instruments, especially drums instead of recorded music, for me that’s the better way of listening to music.
