4. My Cultural Radar (Part I)

The cultural snapshot that I chose to read was that of Dave Grohl, frontman of Foo Fighters, In this article, as a good musician, he recommends a female american rock duo-band called Wet Leg, he highlights the fresh sound and the videos they make, he also mentions that he would like to see them live. It also mentions that a book to recommend is "The Lyrics by Paul McCartney" by Allen Lane. It also recommends a food like American Barbecue, an Internet show, Hot Ones hosted by Sean Evans, a TV Show, Euphoria starring Zendaya, and a Technology/Art concept like NFT (non fungible token).

It struck me that a person like Dave Grohl, who being a rockstar seems to be old-fashioned, is aware of new music, watches videos and interviews on YouTube, knows what an NFT is and watches a TV program like Euphoria, a show with very youthful and explicit content (drugs, sex and family issues). I liked the recommendation of the Internet Show, is a show that i would watch while i have lunch. I knew the duo Wet Leg, but now I will listen to them carefully.

2.- An Interesting Trip

Imagen
Today i´m going to write about the first travel that i realized to other country. In April of this year i traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my girlfriend and her family. This trip was my second and third time traveling by plane, the first time was to Antofagasta, in the north of Chile, when i was 10 years old, but i don´t remember much about the travel. The others travels that i have made been by car to the some places of the south like Villarrica, Pucón, Valdivia, and bus to La Serena and Alhué. In this time, the trip was my first experience abroad. My girlfriend planned an itinerary of different places to visit and eat in Buenos Aires. The first day (saturday) we boarded the plane at 7:30 am and arrived in Argentina at 9 am, we realized the check in in the hotel and went to walk in Corrientes Avenue (like the Fito Paez song -11 y 6-). The first tourist place that we visited was the Ateneo Library, a beautiful library that previously was a theater, then we continued touring to...

7. A Job

Imagen
 In my life, i had 3 different jobs. My first experience was being a Shopper at Jumbo supermarket in La Florida in 2021, in this job I had to pick orders that people made online by an app, this job was funny when I pick the products, but stressful when I packed them in. Another jobs that I had was a leafleter and staff at Multiverse, a entertaiment enterprise that produces geek events. These jobs was a funny experience because the events was retro-pop culture and gaming themed. When i was 14 years old, I started playing guitar and my frustrated dream or job that I would like to do is being a guitarist. I have a acoustic and electric guitar (also a keyboard), and in my free times I practice this instruments, also I'm always listening to music, so always imagine myself playing guitar at concerts.  Some of the qualities that I need to be a good guitarist is a better coordination in fingers and patience to learn about the instrument, also I have to do tenacious in the practice.

8. Language

Imagen
According to my family, since I was little I started to speak basic English words like colors and numbers, because I watched cartoons in this language, so when I entered kindergarten, I already had a slight knowledge. In my school English was taught from the moment you entered until you left, so I always had a close relationship with the language.  I consider it a complex language, in school I had a hard time with the verb "to be" and its variants, so I think I understand and read it better than I can speak and pronounce it. My girlfriend passed on to me the habit of watching movies and series with subtitles to better understand the language, I have seen long series like The Office in American English and Ted Lasso in British English, when we go to the cinema, we prefer to see the movies in the original language, which a couple of years ago I disliked. This semester I have enjoyed the English course and Professor Simon's activities, since it allows free dialogue on everyd...
