Anectdote

2 years ago we went with my family to Brazil, Buzios. One of the first things we did was go to a beach called Playa Tortuga who apparently was very famous.
To get there were about 30 minutes or 45 minutes walking through a forest next to a road. we arrived with not much to say, but a half hour later, a lot of clouds came from nowhere. We thought that that was normal ( we where on winter) and we stayed, but an hour later the rain started. Actually it wasnt as bad as one could think, because the rain in countries like brazil is not as cold as in other countries. 

well, we couldnt stay in the beach during a storm, so we decided to return to the hotel, but 30 minutes walking in the forest in the mud... Finally we arrived to Buzios, but the hotel was at the other side of the city. We had to call for a taxi, but no one of them wanted us wet inside.and finally We took a taxi to the hotel but an hour or 2 later.

Section 3 task 2

29 of February of 2012

Today i discovered something interesting about my family, or more specific, about me. All my life I lived here in Chile, But I discovered something, I'm not from Chile, I'm not Chilean...

Thats the reason maybe of my estrange accent, I Born and lived 4 years at the other side of the mountains, in Argentina. There I learned to speak, and heard the words with that accent and I got used to to hear that pronunciation.

When i arrived to Chile I changed the accent a little, but...
           I always believed that I was Chilean. All this time supporting chile and the football selection team, And NOT then one of my real country. So my country won the world cup of football?. But what about the Bicentenary celebrations... The Patriotism...

Yesterday Chilean, Today...

Section 2 Task 5


''Turkeys Are Not From Turkey''s magazine
The new club here, The Turkey's Arena
This is the newest place on Con-Con, with all types of music included, 2 restaurants, a dance arena and pool tables in the living and VIP rooms. The restaurants are, 1 mexican and the other Italian, The super Takos chez and Right From Italy.
Yesterday I went there, like a normal costumer (I'm VIP ;) ), First of all, The dancing arena was full of people, and in the ''Right's from Italy'' s restaurant, de volume of the music of the dance arena was interrupting the special atmosphere, a really loud music.
But the living rooms were great, soft and comfortable sofas, A Drinks Bar, Good music at an good volume, A nice place to be with your ''friends''
But i think that the place could be better if the place were more exclusive, giant crowds for a Small space like that, loud music. Will be better too building more and and keeping clean the bathrooms.
I recommend it actually.

Dear Sr/madame:

  Last week I had to travel to New York in your airlines and you accidentally lost my suitcase, And I really want to know why its lost and when I'll get it back.

My flight was from Santiago de Chile to Cuidad De Panamá and there i had a connection with the NY flight. Well, The first flight was delayed 5 hours so It existed the possibility to lost the connection When i arrived at panama i had to run to the other plane to take off. I think There you lost my suitcase, was very fast. When I arrived to NY I didn`t found my suitcase on the transport belt.

I really need that suitcase, because I have all the negociations papers of my company in there, what they would say if i lost them, i can lose my job.
Hope you receive this letter and send the S. to me

Your faithfully
Martin Ljubetic V

section 3 TASK 5

25/10/12

Today I went to santiago to a new park, theme park i mean, called BrokenLand.
When we entered, the first thing we saw were 2 elephants in the first roller coaster, it was called The ''Elephants Nose''
But it was very little, and had a rare shape of an elephant's nose... Slow, Small, No emotion.
Then we entered the ''zoo's tour'', it was a mini safari. We were on a jeep taking photographs of the animals that were close to us.
But the best part was a swimming pool, to swim with dolphins. But actually was a really estrange park, roller coasters, animal kingdom, special effects rooms...
I entered 4 R.C, the zoo tour, the dolphins's pool, the effects room, the bumpy cars, etc.
i went to a 5 stars restaurant, all the park was great, but we returned to the car we were crashed :/

Unusual weddings of now on
Yesterday I went to an very unusual wedding, First of all you can wait for a white dressed bride with a big and luxurious dress, but now she was dressed bride with an purple and golden short dress and no veil, and the room with a normal black tuxedo, but the tie was turquoise , the pants were black too and a red shirt with common black shoes.

But the wedding was different, because:
1.- was in a huge green yard in the bride's family house
2.-The couple, weren't the attended ones, they were the ones who made the barbecue, were in charge of drinks, etc...
3.- it looks like more like a Party than a wedding.
