Which country would you like to go to? Why?

I would love to go to so many countries! See different s landscapes, natural beauties and different cultures too…


But one of my dreams is to live in France for a while. I’d been there before, in 2007, and it was a great experience. I went to Paris, Loire valley and Corse. I had a great time, and I decided that I have to go back sometime, and stay living in Paris. There are a lot of ideas that I had that time and I want to complete some day.


My perfect Paris day might be like this: wake up in a tiny little apartment with a round window with the view of the Eiffel tower, have breakfast with a nice orange tea and a baguette with cheese, then go outside, buy a lemon ice-cream and take a walk in the tuileries garden. I know I can do it here, but taking a walk in that city is just perfect.


When I live there, I’m probably going to go to the Orsay museum a lot; it was absolutely my favorite one.

But of course I don't want to stay only in Paris, I will travel around too. I’m sure going to make a trip in the Loire valley, it is called “Loira à vélo”, it’s a 800 km route, demarked to ride bikes and see all the castles of the region, it's gonna be great!

first post of the last English class!

Hi new English class!
I still don’t make any serious evaluation or revision of how my first term experiences were, even I had the intention. So this post is not going to be really elaborated.
If I had to tell the truth I’m not really focused on the studies. I go to the classes, I take notes, and I pass my subjects, but I’m not a high level student.

I was thinking about what matters to me, and maybe it is not the “relevant things” that you can learn talking about specific contents, it is more about the experiences and perspectives that your are constructing, and the abilities that you can develop when you listen and see carefully at different people…

In that perspective, if I do a really strict evaluation of myself, I’m not the best… but I’m working on it. There is a phrase that in English doesn’t sounds so pretty, but it has a lot of meaning, is “in a community we teach each other” or help each other, or we are masters to each other, and that implies giving and getting personal knowledge.

Most of the time I’m doing things to the church group where I work. And in that level I learned a lot on it the past term. I learned more about how guide a pray, and staffs like that. Not really relevant in the university context, but well, important enough to me.
