Hi everybody!

Hey guys! well, here I am, entering to the new world (at least for me) of blogspot! Really, I didn't go beyond messenger, but I'll do my best.



And to begin, I'll write about an excellent day I had last thursday, I don't know if you heard about the "Expo Café"... Well, this is extra information about me, I LOVE COFFEE!!! is one of my passions, and, as a good lover, I went to see what could I get there.



Wow! it was amazing!! I saw a lot of kinds of coffee, the principal productors here in Mexico, all the products that can be made by coffee, obviously the drink, but also there are jewelry!! and I tasted a bar of chocolate with coffee and it's delicious! you can feel the little pieces of the grinded coffee, and all the place had a smell that drove me crazy!



Well, this was just to begin, I hope next post has something interesting.



I promise I'll comment about something good.



Good luck everybody, have a nice week!

ABOUT POMPEII

We have already read about Pompeii, and the horrible disaster that distroyed the city many years ago, but How did it happen? Why all people died?...Here, i am going to tell you some details that i discovered there:

Well, we know that The Vesuvius erupted , throwing tons of molten rock...now Why people didn`t entered to their houses to be safe? actually, they did it!! but they made the mistake of built their houses whith wooden ceiling, so all the hot ash burnt and crossed them.

By all means, rich people used to have kind of basements, in which they got in to be saved; desafortunatelly, whith all the ash, arrived volcanic gases that covered all the small places in there...

Now we can see only ruins remainding us that in this place were an beatiful culture, whith great scientific advances, and a society structure that wasn`t very far from ours.

A SUCCULENT EXPERIENCE

Some years ago, i went to Argentina on an artistic tour with the IPN`s Dance Company. We arrived in Córdoba, where other full-of-handsome-boys dance company received us.

I think that the best thing that heppened us, was the amability which whith they received us, because we had heard that Argentin people don´t likes Mexican people...fortunatelly, it is not true.

We visited around 8 different places, and in each one all people gave us some souvenir, and they always wanted that we tried their tipical food...and there started the hard part, since they have one tipical sauce: meat, but big pieces of meat!!!

On the first place we visited, we ate meat and it was good; on the second place, we also ate meat and it was good too; on the third place, we ate meat again and it was good, but we were tired of eating meat; on the seventh place we were sick of meat!!!, one of us is vegetarian and she ate only lettuce for some days. We were there a month, dancing, meeting new people, and drinking a lot of wine (they don`t like eat whit water).

In one of these days we asked for a different kind of food, and they made another tipical sauce...after we had tried, we wanted meat again!... the new food was a kind of "moronga" but tougher.

Oh!! i almost forgot the best part of the food we tried: pizza!! they eat a lot of pizza, and crackets whith "cajeta", by the way "cajeta" is a word that means poo in Argentina. But....it was an incredible experience.

The Romanovs

Hi!! Have you ever seen the movie 'Anastasia'? Well, this is the movie which tell the Romanovs' story, but with a magical explanation about the end of this powerful dinasty. Actually, the true story about the Imperial Russian Family it's very different.

The Tsar Nicholas II, and his wife Alexandra had four daughters: Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia, and a man, the youngest Alexsei, who was heir to the Russian throne, but with a terrible health problem, he was a hemophilliac. As a result of the Alexsei's disease, the Tsar's wife became increasingly fanatical about her religion and his youngest son, this ultimately lead her to seek help from the peasant Gregory Efivich Rasputin. To the Tsar and his family, Rasputin was a hero, a holy man and their savior, because he was the only one who could calm Alexsei's bleeding. But to the rest of Russia, Rasputin caused terrible dissent and disruption. When the Tsar went to the front in the first Wold War his wife began to seek Rasputin's advice to appoint ministers to the Duma.

Soon, there was a plot to kill Rasputin, by Prince Felix Yussoupov. After Rasputin's death, Alexandra continued to choose ministers for Nicholas, and ultimately, this lead to a revolution.

On March 7th, 1917, Nicholas II was forced to abdicate in favor of his brother. Shortly afterwords, the Imperial Family was moved from house arrest in Tsarskoe Selo to Tolbosk in Siberia. On route to Moscow, Alexandra, Nicholas and their daughter Marie, were captured by the Soviet Bolsheviks, who hijacked their train. The rest of the family were sent to the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg. There in the wee hours of the morning of July 16, 1918, the Romanovs were executed by the Ekaterinburg Soviets. They were buried in the woods near an old mine.

Throughout the years, the cinematographic industry has used the story of The Romanovs for diverse movies, but now, with historical facts, if we see a film about the last Russian dinasty, we will know that so realistic is the script.

Things I've eaten

Ok, since I don't really know what to talk about, how about this?

I'll just talk about food, (...yeah food) truth is I'm don't really know a lot about food, but I do have tasted food that I thought would taste nasty, but in fact it was really delicious. For instance, Iguana is really great! I would say its flavour is somewhere between chicken and rabbit, the only problem is that it is a little greasy (though, it may be because they were tamales), another issue is the skin, it's a little gross to chew it if you are not used to.

Another thing you've got to try is Armadillo stew, it is really, really delicious (damn! seems like I only eat endangered species right?, but I do not, I'm a good guy, really). OH OH I got another one, Deer soup; it is the sweetest thing I've ever had!, it is so good, the meat is so tender, god I wish I were in my grandpa's house, they used to hunt deer in the mountains (did I mentioned I'm from Oaxaca?) and then my grandma would make the most delicious consomme with it. And if you like cocktails you got to visit Catemaco, they sell a very good snail cocktail there.

Well, seems like I'm already done with the homework ja, besides I'm sleepy right now so... see you soon.

Do Use

I want to share this information with you, because it´s interesting how english people use a lot the verb to Do. For example: We hope we don´t overdo it - that means to exaggerate, we do things, we do housework, we do a job- So the question " What do you do? means " What´s your job?, we do our best, we do our duty, If you kill someone you may do time - it means that you have to spend some years in prision, you shouldn´t do or take drugs, women do their nails, a new hair do, it means: a new hair style, How do you do or How are you? and Finally do you know that love me do, "the tittle of the Beatles single" means love me, please, go on !

Hey friendly people...! Yesterday I was surfing in the web and I saw this interesting article about the happiest cities of the world...guess what?? the happiest one is Rio de Janeiro in Brazil...In the article says something about it's carnival and stuff like that to explain the reason of why this is the happiest city.

The second one is Sidney Australia, because of it's good weather, the friendly locals and the opera house, in my opinion australia would be a great place to live, I just love the beaches and the great variety of animals and stuff...

The third position is occupied by Barcelona Spain... because of the beauty of the city the affordable housing and the bussines oportunity among other opportunities.

This are just the first three cities to live in, you can find more in the forbes ranking.

The wonderful thing about living in other places beside of getting involve in other culture is that you can adapt to a completely different way of living. There are also different programs in which you can go to work or stuff like that and you only have to pay an initial fee...

So now you know, if you wanna live a happy life, and be in a pretty place you can choose one of the 10 prettiest places ever!!You have nothing to lose but a lot to win...

Cheers!

les luthiers

Hi,I want to write about les luthiers. Do you know about them?
Les luthiers is an argentine comedy group which has five members. This group was created in the sixties by Masana but, he died in 1977.
I utterly love their show because they can do everything, they sing, act, play and do musical instruments by themselves. For example with a bath they alter this structure, add pieces and finally, the bath is a musical instruments which has a good sound. In addition to, les luthiers has got a great sense of humour, they say all very ironically and are really good at taking people off.
In my opinion les luthiers offer an hilariously funny show. On the other hand, I have friends that dislike les luthiers, you should watch some videos to judge, there are available in youtube. My favorites are (perdonala,suicidio).
Finally, I am blissfully because I will be watching Les luthiers on October in the national auditorium (yesterday I bought my ticket)
