Someone said: Countryside food is the best food. I agree.

Today I'm gonna write about a family meal that I remember and enjoyed. It was in 2013 in the countryside at Rancagua. There was a lot of people (like my granmother's nephews and my father. Also, there were guests that doesn't even were from my family. I really don't know what we were celebrating (maybe a birthday) but there was a lot a food. So much meat, chicken, entrails, etc. All of us end that meal in round-shaped bodies. Wel, I remember that I ate (for the first time) small intestines and other weird taste/looking kinds of food that I rather not know their names.

Other thing I remember is when my dad and me took the train  to return to Santiago, a whole horde of Little kids and his parents took it too 5 stations afters we did it. Damn you, Buin Zoo. At first it was very annoying to have crying/complaining kids everywhere but then I realized I was/am like those demons sometimes with my parents.

Finally, we arrived to Santiago healthy and complete with a big container filled with meat, potatoes and other stuff.

Last semester trip review

Hi everyone.
Last semester I went to a few geography field trips but I'm gonna write about the Economic Geography one, even though it was a little boring in my opinion, We went to like 3 vines around Metropolitan Region to know - in a deep way - how industries (like vines/winnery) works and changes its enviroment. I really do not remember any of this 3 vines names. However, the things that we did were exactly like if we were a tourist group. In summary, a worker gave us a talk about how cool its wine was and in the end he talked things that I really didn't care. Also, when we made questions  Then we did a tour in cellars to get involved in wine production chain with a talk about the process itself. At the beginning I took notes and recorded some audio but then i just took photographs and listening. I did not enjoyed this trip because Im pretty sure anyone learned something important about industries, demographic changes, etc... It was really like a tourist travel package doing snob stuff.
