my last vacation

Two months ago I went to Shibuya, one of the most important street of Tokio, Japan. It was great.

I went on my own, so I had to find a flat to arrend during 3 weeks. The first Week I visited the building of Toyota company. I did a tour and I met how the Japanese people work. They were very efficient, they didn't spend the time smoking or reading newspapers on internet. Also, I played pachingo, an urban hassardous game, very popular in Japan.

Japan was so different. The people was very polite and they helped to anybody who needed, specially to foreign people. I travelled through Tokio on subway, It was a bit complicated but more cheap than bus, in fact you can buy a special ticket to travel arround Tokio during a week, only for 140 bucks. Shibuya is the most popular street arround Japan, because many people cross it.

I loved Shibuya's nigth life because you can do many activities. For example I went to Karaoke with my neighbor, Yuki. And then we went to eat the japanese hot-dog (with Sushi). I liked very much. You can find it near of subways stations The last week in Tokio I visited the central park. It was enormous and very clean.

I could see to my favorite japanese singer Angela Aki at Kotodama Stadium. It was fantastic, because Angela sang very well and she played the piano with many energy. I'll never forget Shibuya, and very soon I'll visit it again.

my friend 斎藤 工...

Today I want to talk about my best friend Saitou Takumi (斎藤 工). He 's a nice guy who I met at the pool. As you can imagine, Saitou is Japanese. He moved to Chile one year ago, because He 's doing a post-grade. He is anthropologist.

We met each other, because I helped him to talk to with the swim teacher. He didn't know how to express some ideas, so I translated from japanese to spanish (remember that I'am studying languages). He thanked my help and then, we started to talk about life. I always remember that situation because he was really surprised that someone could understand japanese. I felt very useful.

We do many things together: go to concerts, drink or eat. We are together the most time on weekends. I like his smile very much, he is smiling all the time... as if he didn't have any problem. But sometimes I don't like that he spend many time studying. Sincerally, I don't envy nothing of him, because He is very "normal".Other than enving him I admire him.

I have many stories with him, but the most intensive one was when We failed to our classes and We went to the beach for the day. It was so great, because We walked through all the city and We shared many things together.

...but you know what I'll give him a bottle with time, because, sometimes, He need it so much.

a little about me.

Hello everybody:

My name is Austin and I live in Chile. I have two siblings, Margaret(26) and Vincent(4), we live in an apartment in the downtown. My mom is Doctor, she is 45 and she loves dance and cook for us. I have a great relationship with her, and I love that. My daddy is accounter. He is OK, I guess. I don't talk with him, because he left the house when I was 5, so I couldn't make a closer relationship with him. I grew up seeing to all my friends with their parents. It was so sad.

Well... I'm 20 and I study languages at Eatri. I love my career, I have always loved the languages and the cultures. When I finish my career I'll make a long trip, I want to meet Europe and Asia. Other thing that I like to do is swim (yes, with speedo). Swimming isn't only a sport for me, It is a style of life, a philosophy. I like the music too; Edith Piaf, I love her songs and voice. I hate the sound music and the dirt makes me angry.

I don't have a girlfriend now, sincerally I don't have time to give love. The studies and my activities spend most of my time.

I don't have another thing to say, I'll writte soon. Bye.
