Do you want a cup of tea?

Englishman in New York

This song is very special for me for some special reasons. One of them is the fact that “The Police” and Sting are not a important musicians for me, I like some of them songs, for example message in a bottle, Roxanne, Every breath you take; but I do not appreciate their songs or the way that they make music. So the symbolism of this song does not come from the band or the singer. I always make jokes with this song, especially with my new classmates, because when we went to the beach they drink tea at six o’clock or after the launch and I found it very weird, so I put this song that I found weirder than the situation, I thought that it was a very good complement.

About the Sting I can say that his real name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, he is an English musician. He was the leader of the English band “The Police”. They started to play in 1977. The band was formed by Sting (singer, and bass player); Andy Summers, who plays the guitar; and Stewart Copeland, the drummer. They have 5 studio albums, but Sting by his own have 10 solo albums. The band plays together between 1977–1984, 1986, and in 2007–2008.

How I said before I do not like this band so much. But I have to say that Sting and his band have a very special music style, rock, jazz, and some other influences. But they mix this special music style with very bad lyrics, they have some exceptions, but there are not so much.

Víctor Jara’s Shed

After this wonderful week, those kinds of week were the night becomes in day to some us, if the expression “to be sparing with, you shouldn’t go out so much at night” it sounds common to you and if you feel that you are drinking like a fish so you want to stop I recommend Victor Jara’s shed to dose.

This place is placed in Huerfanos street; found this place was very easy for me because I am very near of this place. This place is very special for a lot of reason; one of them is the fact that in Victor Jara’s shed always are recitals, so it’s very funny go there and hear some good live music.

Victor Jara’s shed also is one of the most important recitals places of Santiago; it’s like the home of the new Chilean music. In this shed is very usual the presence of important musicians of Chile, like Inti Illimani, Los Jaivas, etc. And how I said before, promising new musicians of the local scene, just like Juana Fe, Manuel Garcia, etc.

I have been in this place a lot of times with a lot of different people, and all kind of people. The last is very interesting; in this place you can find all kind of people always.

So, the invitation has been done. This place is cheap, friendly, nice and a lot of other adjectives. In other way, if you don’t want to pay you can be outside drinking and hearing good music.

Cumbia nena!

Bicentenary

I will celebrate this special national holiday in a wonderful and colorful city, Santiago. Probably, I will be with my parents, my friends and some other people. I think that is not necessary to spend much money celebrating this special national holiday, you always would invite somebody over to your house and make that he pays, but with this option you have to be very cautious and select your friend in a very meticulous process.

The thing that I like of the national holiday is the opportunity that it’s bring to you to get drunk and ‘rest in peace’. The truth is that at this age you really don’t need a reason to get drunk, so I am not so sure if that is a good reason. Other thing that I like of the national holiday is the barbecues, so many dead animals and all for me (evil).

Other important point of this special national holiday that I consider important is that this year is the 200th anniversary of our Independence that’s it different of celebrating the 199th anniversary or the 201th anniversary of our Independency because… is weird, there are no differences; it’s only the obsession of the human being for the ceros. Why? I have no idea.

I think that the privatization of the education in Chile, it’s not the problem of the University’s system. The university system is only the finalization of a long process, and this process starts in the primary level of education. The differences created by the system are very dangerous in sense that it
I think that the privatization will not impose in our state university system, because this is problem for a whole society. I cannot see any solutions to this problem, sometimes you felt that this is a problem that nobody wants to solve, the politicians, the authorities, only the students are trying to give solutions, but even that solutions seems like charity, more than real solutions. For example, this week almost everybody has forgotten the problem and now are busy with their tests and works. This is a cultural problem and if we don’t take it seriously, obviously we are going to fail.
About the question: “Do you think this government will privatize Universidad de Chile?” I always have had this question ¿ it hasn’t done yet? If you look the students of this faculty, you have the answer. It is very sad, but this university shows us how big this problem is. We are not fighting for this; we are fighting for something better.
