My Music

A like to talk about my favorite type of music, because, I believe that I have very different rhythms, groups or songs, for the different days, emotions, situations, etc, of my life. For example, when I was younger, in the school, for a long time, I only like the reggae music because my group of friends was very “rasta style”, now I hear a lot of different music, but this kind of music still been one of my favorite. Whit the years, I discover others music styles, like the bossanova, similar to reggae music, but whit others instruments, lyrics and language, people like Joao Gilberto, Bebel, Djavan and Marissa Monte, are some of my favorites bossanova musicians. In other circumstances, like a good party or hippies situations, I like very much the “cueca”, I like dance this kind of music whit some wine in the body, also, some of my friends plays very good this music, for that, I like the style party whit cueca. Other type of music that I hear a lot, was Spanish rock, but a light kind of rock more near to old pop, like Soda Estero, Fito Paez, Gustavo Ceratti or many songs in particular, like the classics “girl`s songs” whit musicians like Javiera Parra, Madonna, Regina Spector and many more.

transantiago

My opinion about Transantiago is not very good in general, I think that the main idea of this new system is actually very good, because make the bus transportation and the metro train working together in a big system, is the best for city like Santiago, and pay less for take more combination, is a very good idea too. The only problem of this idea was the very bad calculation about the real capacity of the buses and the metro for the huge numbers of people. For that reason, in the beginning the city was collapsed because the metro can resist all the new people using the metro for combination whit the buses. Other operative problem was the confusion about the travel around the city of the different buses; also, the number of buses was dramatically down for make a change in the contamination of the city. Other problem was the GPS system, that never workout.
Now the people in general, is more “friendly” whit the system, are more buses in the street, and the metro make a lot of changes for make easier and less collapsed our travels. But I still think that this new system is the worst for the quality life, because the people are very tired whit the awful travels. I think the bicycle is the best choice, a city more friendly whit the bicyclists will be a very good idea I think.
