Blog 2: best concert: A rock band from England.

I've been in at least 7 or 8 concerts on the floor site (without sits) and I have fun in all of them, but there was a band known worldwide for their dynamic performance that could surpass the others. On October 15th, 2015 Muse played on Movistar Arena, Santiago, Chile and it was amazing. The trio from Devon, England were touring for their 7th album, "Drones" (but in the concert they play only 5 songs from the album :(, in other countries they perform almost the entire thing), which talks about humanity being controlled by machines and businessmen without us caring at all, until one person decides to revolt.



The Arena was full and the floor crowded, I went with 4 friends and we separate on the first 30 minutes. Fortunately, me and 1 of my friends manage to get to the front of the stage (or at least 2 rows of people before it) minutes before the first song started, so we saw the band very close. The place went crazy with the riffs and melodies, so much energy. The chilean crowds are known for that, just... being crazy. We jump in more that the half of the songs so that's the equivalent of 2 classes of sports (I wanted to believe that haha)



In one of their popular songs: Uprising, suddenly  giant balloons full with confetti (and air) appear from the ceiling, so we can push it whenever a balloon reach us, it was fun.

Me and my friends keep that hour and a half in our hearts and for me... hope I would go to one of their concerts in England (where they play more frequently of course) in a near future. Well if I'm there, I'll get a chance to see a lot of bands actually :). *Keep dreaming Cris, finish your career.*

(the concert in Chile, I was almost front of the stage, on the left side!)

Blog 1: A country I like to visit

No long ago I read about The Netherlands and its people. Their culture is very different from the rest of the world, in terms of not having a uniform national culture, but being influenced by their ethnic minorities and being open to other way of thinking. For example, they don't talk about their religion and impose their point of view, but they prefer to have more deeper conversations, like climate change or change policies to make things better.  It would be interesting to go and see that, 'cause in Chile we talk about this kind of stuff but we not practising that at all. The Dutch are known for their emphasis in diversity and critic view for politics. Isn't it part of what we need to do in this century?

 

I'm very attached to European architecture and this country is no exception, isn't it? (just look at the pictures!). It would be nice to take a nice walk for a day and talk to the Dutch people, maybe get involve in some activity, or whatever the day take me to. Personally, it would be just a trip to break the comfort zone, to know THAT culture that i mention, but i wouldn't do much than that. The dream to study in England stand still for me....
