transport

Hi!
Today I will talk about of the transport system that was implemented in January 2007 : The TRANSANTIAGO.

This new system divided our city into 10 zones, to order the operation of transport services that connect the neighborhoods of the city.
In each area there are feeder buses that connect with the metro and "troncal" buses which is moved throughout the city.

The system at its inception did not work properly because the frequency with buses passing was very inconsistent and you had to make multiple transfers.
Time passed, the transport ministry has tried to fix these problems, and covered others that have emerged, such as lack of travel in certain areas of the city. Despite the improvements, users are left with the impression from the beginning, and have continued to criticize the government.
I think this system is a long term project, because it involves a socialcultural change in the population, and people is not accustomed to this change, and don't understand that must spend time to make the project evolve.

Comparing the pre-transantiago system, with now, I think some changes have occurred:
- The flow of people in subways, has increased because people did not trust in the frequency of buses on the surface (still don't and that's why the subway is so stifling)
- The buses are slower, this is because they can't move with the doors open, increasing our security.
- Bip card system has made the public transport more expeditious and inexpensive, because you do not have to pay every time you step on a bus or subway.
- The system is safer, because drivers do not carry money, lowering delinquency.

I think Transantiago need to implement a GPS system to coordinate the frequency of buses, which is the problem still persists, thus one could know exactly what time the buses pass by your stop . I also believe it would be good to implement a few tours that were very useful in the system of "yellow buses", which were deleted.

Well that's all folks! I go to take the bus back to my house.

hi everyone !
Today I have to talk about what would be my ideal job.

I would love to be the physiotherapist of any dance company, to keep fit and retrieve their dancers.

To get this job I will have to be aware of prevention and recovery of typical dancers injuries, the movement they do every day for their training, and be prepared to travel with them to other regions or countries for their tours and art events .

I think I would be very good to do this work because I have lived in the flesh the injuries to be a dancer, I know every move they make, and every day I learn more about how to rehabilitate people.
I know that for this work (which is very rare in chile), I will have to be one of the best physiotherapists in the area, and establish relationships with companies before the end of my career, to be known as a therapist.

if I fail to find work in the area, I would like to work with athletes, because I like the fact rehabilitate people who are going to keep trying and trying, despite injuries, because they love what they do.

Well that's all my friends !
see you soon ..

the future

Today I should write about how I see myself in 5 years, but the truth is that lately I've been a little disoriented about this.
Last year the same thing happened to me, and that is why I think I failed some classes, and missed the year. Now I'm doing much better, but at this moment I can't see me as a physical therapist, recovering people, giving them confidence, if I did not even have the same.
I think this is happening because I come back taking dance classes. From 13 to 18 years I danced 4 times a week, but in the 12th grade in highschool I had to quit to prepare for the PSU, but I always wanted to be a dancer, and decided not to do so because art in Chile is not highly valued. Despite that, I enjoy dancing a lot and I fullfiled, and I would like to do it forever.

Out of the professionallife , within 5 years, I would like to live alone with my dog Kiara, in a house with a big yard for her to play, but I don't know if I'll have the money to lease or buy a house... it could be possible if all goes well, I will live with Sebastian, my boyfriend, and that would be cool because we get along well.

The only hope is to be happy with what I am doing, no matter how much money I earn, and have the support of my loved ones.

the best !

Hi!

Today I will indroduce you Roberto Saldivia, who is the physical therapist of the "Ballet de Santiago" during classes, rehearsals, functions and tours since 1985. He is also a Kundalini Yoga master (that is why he took that turban)

For me, he is the best in the area of dance, becouse he is one of the few who developed the specialty in Chile.

He has worked with major figures of dance, such as Julio Bocca (Argentine great dancer), Marcia Haydee (now artistic director of Ballet de Santiago) and served the Kirov and Bolshoi companies of Russia . He has also helped large popular music icon in his stay in Chile, as Miguel Bosé an Lenny Kravitz.

As a teacher he has made a long career at the universities, teaching the subject of anatomy. He is currently a Scholar at the "Universidad de Chile", "Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano" and "Universidad Mayor".


When I visited him the last year in his query in the theater, every dancers told me that he has "The Magic Hands", becouse when they had injuries Roberto healed with his massages, so, when I do my professional practice, I would like to do it in the theater with Roberto, to learn everything I can.

Hi everyone !
Today I'll coment a photo that I like a lot !


This picture was taken for me, I don´t remeber when exactly, but must be in holly week, in year 2005.
The place that shows the photo is my favorite place, the coast of "Guaylandia", a beach that is in the central coast, neer to "El Tabo".


This place is so special for everyone who knows it, becouse when our grandparents founded the beach they know each other, then when they had children, they were friends , and so on mind... So when you walk by Guaylandia, you feel a very nice atmosphere and you say hello to everyone who passes.
I went to this beach since I was one month old, so I know everyone, and I have a lot of friends.


This picture was taken at the sunset, I like a lot the colors in the sky that shows, and that
straw sunshades that are typical of Guaylandia.
