Post 1: A country I would like to visit.

 



Hi, I'm Alex.
Wow, to be honest I would love to visit a lot of different countries at least one time in my life. However, one of my special interest is Japan and its culture. It is my dream go there since I was a child. Actually, last year I decided to go like there's no other option, even if it takes me years.
I think Japan it's a country like nowhere else, a society that puts together tradition and modernity. I really love the fascinating culture and folklore. I like the language, the architecture, the history, and the people's traditions too. What about food? YES PLEASE.
Japan is for me a totally different world. I believe is a new world with an old soul. It's beautiful.
It's a country that connect art, economy, religion, traditions, family, and nature to all dimensions of life. 


 
 
I'm not sure if I'd rather go in Spring to see the cherry blossoms or spent hours contemplating the progress of the Autumn's vivid colors across the country. 
I want to visit Japan for two months and travel around different cities: Tokyo, Kyoto which it's full of temples, shrines and charming traditional places. I like Osaka too, especially for the food haha. Japan also has magical places like Mount Fuji or Yakushima Island. The Golden Palace and Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
                                   

                                          
                                                                   (Yakushima Island)

I think I would like to live there or study its folklore and art. I like "ukiyo-e" a genre of Japanese art from 17th through 19th centuries. Artists produced impressive woodblock prints and cool paintings.
I don't think I could work, language is a limitation for me. But I do know that my truly desire is travel and walk a LOT, just walk on my own searching for breathtaking views, try and enjoy the Japanese cuisine, visit the museums and go to festivals. Use a toilet too. The Ghibli Park opened in November 2022 and of course it's on my list too (I love Studio Ghibli). There is so many things to do and see. 

My dream is delight me with things I've never seen before. Live and breathe magical nature, get closer to people and historical places. 
I want to see with my own eyes all the things I've been admired. 
I will be there one day :) <3

Post 4: Time travel to the future.

Imagen
  I’m a huge fan of both time travel movies and books. I like to read about dystopian worlds and future societies, travel back in time to see either mysterious events or change the past for a new present. Of course, I like it as a fictional glance. I’m the kind of person who concentrates in my own present and it is hard for me thinking travel in time without logic. First of all, I wouldn't go to the future, it doesn't excited me at all.  I’m afraid go back in time would be very complex. The butterfly effect traumatized me haha. I’m sure every little thing I touch or change will cause a big alteration. Have you ever seen “A Sound of Thunder”? it’s a science fiction movie based on Ray Bradbury’s short story. The film narrates the death of a prehistorical butterfly and how it changes the whole evolution of the planet. So yes, I think that could happen haha. However, as we're talking about an imaginary trip, I would like to go back and watch how Egyptian made...

Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme.

I’ve been studying at University of Chile since 2019, even if I put on hold my Art career from 2021 to 2022, I would change several things. First of all, the infrastructure is the most basic and obvious problem, I don’t know if the Dean has been trying to prepare us for bad conditions or something (not funny at all), but the buildings are embarrassing and some of them are literally falling in pieces. Students doesn’t have enough chairs, tables or easels and we have to work in small and awful places. About the curriculum, I think it would worked better if students had a multidisciplinary course in common. This way students of music, drama, visual arts and dance could have the opportunity to share opinions, knowledge, and meeting classmates. Okay, this is just my point of view, but I hate when teachers assume that we know everything. We’re studying for a reason, right? To learn. I would like to paint but I haven’t painted before and I can’t be in that kind of subject beca...

Post 2: The Best Concert

Imagen
  Mmmh this kind of topic is a little difficult to me. I like a lot of different genres of music such as rock, punk, pop, j-rock, indie, trap, instrumental, and other types of music I can’t even  describe. I attended a concert many years ago, but the experience wasn’t really good. I’m autistic so I am constantly struggling with my sensory issues; noises, crowns, and lights can be really problematic and exhausting for me. However , I would love to see my favorite bands on tour someday but the opportunity doesn’t come yet. Well, that it’s not the point, I do remember a kind of concert with so much love, and I guess  this is not the typical response, but just for you to know I love classical music and I often go to the Regional Theater to listening to the Symphonic Orchestra  or musicians. And as I said before I’m a huge fan of Studio Ghibli, and guess what? THEY MADE A CONCERT OF THE MOVIES’ SOUNDTRACK. Spoiler: it was wonderful.          ...
