The Caracoles

Every year I travel by land to Argentina to see my father that lives there. So, I take a bus and go through the Los Andes mountains. That takes five or six hours to arrive at Mendoza. Maybe people find this travel very interesting, but I have passed all my life from one country to another, so I was bored all the day that takes. However, there is one place on the trip that makes me with goosebumps. That place is named “Los Caracoles”, or something like “snails”. It is a part of the way that get many curves and steep at the same time. Sometimes you can see a sign that has a number of the curve and could get to more than 30 curves.

But the return is worst. The side of chilean mountains is more precipitous than argentinian side, so, when come back to home and take the bus we know what kind of experiences is waiting for us... go down to the Caracoles. It is seems like you get down very close to the edge of a cliff every curve, 30 times! Also you can see other buses and cars very close underneath you, it is very scared. You can see that every minute your bus could fall off the precipice.

Obviously there are many accidents because some people go to fast and many kinds of trucks go through this way, the principal route between Argentina and Chile, so if you can go for this way take it easy and breath deeply.

Yummy places

Lately,there are many places to eat like reastaurants or bars in Santiago. For many years, those restaurants just have had only typical chilean cuisine, but since some years many of places with and without delivery comes from anywere, like chinesse food, italian food, peruvian food and, of course, the japanese food.

And I don´t know why, but my favourite is this typical japanese roll with some fish with vegetables, rice and some other souces like soy or sweet and sour. Although, there are many japanese restaurants with many other types of rolls. Here in Chile, the sushi or rolls are made with fish too, but the cookers put them some chilean ingredients like avocado or cream cheese.

However, my favourite place to eat many sushi with very high califications and a good price is “Niu Sushi”. I always call them when I want sushi because they have a very good delivery sistem. Also they have some other yummy food like Gyozas, Ball crabs, Yakitori and Teriyaki and, finally, my perdition... sushis for deserve... yes, some type of invented sushi made from ice cream, Oreo cookies and cheesecake... oh God, they're so incredible that I think I wanna call them now.

Nevertheless, if you don't like fresh fish or those oriental weird combinations, the best place to go with friends and share greats moments is “Los Insaciables”. It's an italian restaurant, but the principal special of the house is PIZZA!. If you go in the afternoon you could eat all the slice of pizza you want for just one price. They're delicious. I totally recommends you go arround 7pm, a great idea for happy hour.

My ideal future job

First of all I want to say that I am a nightly person, like a owl hehehe. It's incredible how I try to sleep early at night, but my nature is very strong and always I sleep late. Sometimes I have had some problems with my boyfriend because that reason. Whatever, I need some kind of job that I can work late at night, above all because my creativity increase in that moment.

In the past I have worked teaching spanish to a japanesse kids and traslating some documents. By the way, all those job I've worked were when I studied translation, but, to be honest the teaching is not my strong point.

So, after to be 4 years studiying Scenography, I realized that is my ideal job... I think so. I always want a job that make me dream and, that dream become true on the stage ( or tv and movie set). Also, I have almost 30 years old, so I'll have family proyects. I don't want to be an ausent mother, my mother was in home on my childhood and I have the most happy memories of that and I want to do the same. Working on a theatre is very stimulating, I already worked twice and I want to do it again, I love create costumes and design. I really hope to find some kind of job allow me to grow like a professional as far as mother and women. Surely it takes some time, nothing is so easy, but I'll try everything tome this true.

Wish me luck =)
