Blog 7: My vacations

On this summer, I don’t have activities to do away, so I thing that I make things here in Santiago, I want to have time to study and do exercise, also I want to play some pichangas with my friends, watch some movies and go to free concerts. I found a work in a Starbucks and this will be so useful for me, to have some extra money to buy interesting things and to pay my classes of piano.

I want to play some music with my friends, and I want to write things that I have in my head, after of my musical things I want to rest a lot because I need it, this year in the university was great but very tiring.

I think that I will work with Palotes to finish the record of the first long play of the group.

I want to do many things but unfortunately my vacations will be shorter than other years because start at finish of December. If I have time I would like learn to play drums and electric bass to know the format of these instruments in the music that I heard and can write great things to other musicians, I want to compose jazz, funk, cumbia and salsa themes and now I have the music inside me only I need the time, for this reason I need my vacations now.

Places to eat

I prefer eat in my house, but when I don’t have a lunch I like Las Encinas casino, when I have money I like the picás because I prefer the homemade food, I meet a great picá here in plaza de armas and the price of the plate of food is 2 lucas, and the people attends you great.

But if you only have your junaeb card I recommend Tarragona’s Chicken, or salad Junaeb in Juan Maestro it contains one portion of lomitos, lettuce, avocado, tomato and corn, and have a cost of 1300 chilean pesos, about 2 dolars. If I want give myself a gift I can eat a Palena’s menu it contains 2 burguers, 2 sodas and 2 portions of French fries for 3 lucas, but personally I prefer eat other things. When I have money and I want so much food I buy 2 personal pizzas in telepizza, isn’t the best menu but is filling.

Other options are the locals of Portal Fernandez Concha in Plaza de Armas, there are some places with great food.

Personally I prefer use the money of Junaeb in supermarkets I thing that is better than eat in fast food places, and if you have the correct cashier you can buy everything.

I don’t now more places to eat with Junaeb card but I know places to not go, for example the casino in science of Juan Gomez Millas or the Casino of Artes Centro, both of them are very bad.

Street Art

When I was a child one of my dreams was makes graffitis, one time I took a workshop about graffiti and I learned to make my own designs, unfortunately I was bad for this, the plastic art is my kryptonite.

I like the street art because there’s free, for this reason the artist can made everything that he want and the people can see and reward it, I have many friends that make street art in metro, buses, parks or walls.

One of my favorites forms of street art is the Pasacalle because on this many arts take place at the same time, circus art, theatre, dance or music for example. Until the last year I made circus art and I made some street presentations, also I made street art as musician and is great.

Now I want to made street jazz because I thing that jazz is far for the people, I want to made new things because I think that the people is boring of the street art in the metro or in buses because It’s always the same.

In conclusion I think that this city it’s boring but the street art made of there something better, but as all the things a lot of something isn’t good.
