My city

Today, I’ll talk to you about Santiago, and the places that can be visited.
I think Santiago is a beautiful city, so there’s a lot of places that a foreigner tourist can visit.

First, La Moneda Palace. This place is related to very important moments in our history, as Coup d’état. Also, it’s a beautiful building. It has long gardens. If you’re lucky, you can see Mrs. President, Michelle Bachelet.

There’s a second place a tourist can go. Central Market is a very typical place, where people can eat fish and shellfish. Also, there’s a big market where people can buy fruits and vegetables, for example.

Third, ‘La Piojera’. La piojera is a typical restaurant. In this place people enjoy the most typical food, as pernil or arrollado huaso. Obviously, you can’t go out without drinking ‘Terremoto’. It’s great!

Fourth, San Cristobal hill. It has a lot of places to visit. You can go to Metropolitan Park, where you can visit Virgin Mary sculpture. Also, you can go to the zoo, where you’ll find all kind of animals. It’s one of my favorites places.

Fifth, Bellas Artes museum. I think it’s one of the most beautiful museums of Santiago. You’ll find very important paints and sculptures, which were painted by chilean and foreigner artists.

There’s a lot of neighbourhoods to visit, as Bellavista or Republica. In there, you’ll have fun!

Bye!

'A un metro de ti'

The last film I saw is called ‘A un metro de ti’. Its plot was about a man and a woman who met each other when they were children, and some years later, they met again by chance, but they didn’t remember that meeting. Immediately, they felt a special bond, so they started a friendship that they confused constantly. Sebastián was a chef who lived in Spain for a long time. He decided to come back to his country and he opened a restaurant. She had a girlfriend who was chef too, but she aspired to something better than that, so their relationship wasn’t easy for them. The woman was called Paula. She was a secretary who was fired recently, so she felt her life was terrible. Also, he lived with her boyfriend, but he didn’t work, so she had to keep up with all of her home expenses. They both felt that their lives were incomplete, so these circumstances caused they felt an attraction to each other that they tried to control as long as they could. 

I liked it so much. First, because it’s so beautiful. The story is simple; it might be the story of a normal person, as me or anybody. Second, I liked it because it was filmed in a lot of places that are very important for me so I remembered a lot of moments when I saw it.

I went to see it at SANFIC Movie Festival with my best friend, so the company was incredible. It was a great day. I recommend this film absolutely. It’s a nice story, so simple, and the actors are fantastic. Really, it’s one of my favourite films.
