My Favorite day in my Europe Trip

My favorite day in Europe was in Edinburgh no doubt, when we just arrived Scotland, the city is beautiful, it is way more different then Chile, its a city which is qualified as developed, we arrived in the 7th of September to Scotland and we stayed there for three days, then we travelled to York which is near to Edinburgh. While we stayed in Edinburgh we visited the Holyrood Castle which is a big place with guards and there is a lot of shops where you can buy presents and t-shirts of Edinburgh, talking about our activities, we visited a lot of places and in the night we went to bars and meet new people from Scotland or other countries in the world, since Edinburgh is a place with a lot of students from other parts of the world, so we managed to meet new people, Edinburgh is a beautiful developed place, even the buses have Wifi, we were impressed. The people there are very respectful, its really different than here in Chile, because people here do not care at all. In conclusion Edinburgh is a great place to study with good universities and a lot of bars to chill out.

A Day In Edinburgh 


Do you know what Edinburgh is all about?
By Joaquin Young Andrade
Nov 3, 2014

Edinburgh is a city which is qualified as a developed city. The size of this city is perfect, it has activities in the night even for young people between 15-18 teenagers you do not waste time in Edinburgh because it is so developed that even the buses have Wifi, so if you have a homework or work to do you could still work at the bus with your laptop. 
It is recognised as the city of the Castles because it has a big Castle Holyrood, so you should visit the Royal Mile, which is near the Castle to be honest is next to the Castle, the volcano named Arthur's Seat is also near the Castle Holyrood it is exactly about a mile to the east, as last option you could visit the museums, which there are many.


Interview with Joana Bremmer (17 year old) a Scottish Citizen

What is your favourite club?
The Hive no doubt, it is a club which most teenager goes and it is not expensive the entrance ticket, you can have a non alcoholic drink inside such as a Red Bull or a Monster many energy drinks, this club always has more than six hundred people inside and stays at least until 4 o'clock in the morning that means you can have a lot of conversations with your friends or meet more people, there's always foreigners from South America and most Central Europe and you dance a lot with them and exchange ideas and drink its really fun.

Do You think Edinburgh it is the perfect city for collage students?
Yes, first of all it has perfectly connection with the Internet all day long even in the buses and now in the college you have to use a lot of blogs and forums which it requires the internet so that's a point in favour to Edinburgh, also you have a lot of students here and a lot of clubs which you can interact with them as I said before.



This Is The Hive, the club.

Edinburgh

1.- What is the nightlife like in this city?
The nightlife in Edinburgh is really active, as it was our first night we all went out, and it was close to what we expected, we only had few hours outside but we knew how to use them, we went to a couple of bars where we drank to taste new drinks which they are rare in Chile for example "Jagger bomb" which is a combination of Jaegermeister with red bull, its a nice drink but a expensive in the bars, that was our first lesson, bars are really expensive so if you decide to get drunk in a bar you should get a lot of money .

2.- What are some of the most important tourist locations?
One of the most popular important tourist locations is the Castle Holyrood, Stephen is the king of the castle, then you should visit the Royal Mile which is near the Castle to be honest is next to the Castle, the volcano named Arthur's Seat is also near the Castle Holyrood it is exactly about a mile to the east, as last option you could visit the museums, which there are many.

What are some traditions in this city?
As we arrived to Edinburgh we didn't have the chance to watch these beautiful traditions in Edinburgh which there are many but we only stayed few days so we could only see the city in regular bases, but some of the traditions in Edinburgh are Scottish weddings, because they wear kilts and sporran they have a back pipe this makes the wedding more unique and traditional to Scotland



How expensive is it to live there? What is the cost of living?
 Living in Scotland or anyplace in Europe, right now we are talking about Edinburgh it is really expensive comparing it to Chile prices could double or triple chilean prices, food drinks the word "living" meaning eat and survive there it is really expensive 3x Chile but the salary is different too so prices for native people may not be so expensive for them because the get more money by working hard, they complement each other.

Opera

Gloster Project : Template
1)As you’re new there are some rules you need to follow..
1.- You must pay 50US$ dollars per month to the Phantom otherwise he might go out and scare people
2.-You should pay attention to the ghost or he shall attack.
3.- You need to stay still with box five no one can enter it.
4.-You could give the ghost some free space so he doesn’t bother
5.-Don’t enter to the underground
6.-You can not sell the box five
7.-You wouldn’t bother the Phantom of the Opera
8.- Do not get close to box five
9.- You shouldn’t try to discover the Phantom identity.
10.- Christine must get principal Singer.

2) Raoul was set off with his feet wet and he saw a Little girl called Christine standing still helplessly at the edge of the water and a red scarf blowing into the air and falling a ways into water so Raoul didn’t quite understand why, but he suddenly knew that he had to help her so he moves to her side but they met in their childhood.

3) Page 37 “He son remembered that it was the red handwriting in which the memorándum-book had been so curiously completed.”

Page 36 “Aramand Moncharmin wrote such voluminous “Memoirs” during the fairly long period of his co-management…”

Page 36 “Firmin Richard was a very distinguished composer”

Page 27 “During this time, the farewell ceremony was taking place”

4) Raoul, because he is a Young lover which I really think it makes a difference in this book it makes it more attractive and curious, he protects a lot Christine, and he does a lot of influence on the Phantom theme because he has seen him so he is into him

Picture Number One

There is a huge riot on the streets. trying to forbid the Jesus Christ movie in which it shows insensitive on people, it is cruel and beyond bad. People are trying to do the right stuff, there is a big paper saying "Jesus is equal" this is showing to the makers that Jesus doesn't choose religion and doesn't excuses. These guys did something really bad otherwise why would lots of people do a riot for a simple movie? Well it's not just a movie, the material on it destroys history, it is offensive to Christians in other words it is ruining their christmas. This results in the book and film depicting Christ being tempted by imaging himself engaged in sexual activities, a notion that has caused outrage from some christians life on this picture.

Tattoos Vol2

Use the following questions as a guide:


a. What is the key issue that the photo shows?


b. How are tattoos stereotyped in different societies? Refer to The Maori culture (New Zealand), USA and Chile.


c. How important or relevant are tattoos for some people in defining their individuality or identity?


d. Why are tattoos considered / not considered Art?


The key used in this picture is the jacket which shows and hide the tattoos, it shows to public the tattoos which this guy has in its arms.

In the case of Chile tattoos are seen as something bad, means like you been on jail or you're a criminal, same thing happends on USA as Debate.org says: "Are tattoos negatively stereotyped on USA" 87% says yes.In NZ is different heres a quote from http://www.hrmonline.co.nz/news says:
 " Claire Nathan told Maori TV show Native Affairs that she applied for what she described as her ‘dream job’ in January, and her interview last month initially went well. However, when asked to fill out a form that required her to declare the traditional Maori tattoo on her lower arm, things took a turn for the worse." She coulnd't cover the tattoo so she coudn't get the job.

Heres my recent blog which represent this question Tattoos represent severals stuff, most likely representing the thing that a human want or did, here's an example "Harm None" and in between the two words is the symbol for the three phases of the moon, which also represent past, present and future, it's more than an art or fashion style in the people who do this it is a symbol for the people who have tattoos, also cultural because of the meaning which the tattoos represent, could be different for many people, depending on the culture here's another example of people opinions:
"the tear drop used to mean you had killed someone, then it came to mean you had killed someone while incarcerated. in australia it means something totally different. they mark child molesters with that so everyone knows what they did and you can feel free to beat the daylights out of them"

Is tattoos a art? Well they are in a skin script so they could be classifed as art, for other people could means symbol like god or devil most likely is that or means something that happend to you earlier.
Heres a quote from TheGuardian.com
"A blue and red flowering, sinuous, inky design written permanently into the skin of bare legs may be eye-catching – but is it art? Amy Savage thinks so. She explains how she got the tattoos on the backs of her legs from Xam, a noted tattoo artist who works at London's Exmouth Market. She and companion Eddie Boxell, who has equally rich and beautiful tattoos covering most of his left arm, "collect" their tattoos from noted practitioners: "It's an art thing, a collecting thing," says Boxell."
