The music is a place and the place is the music


  I would like to visit Glasgow, Scotland. Why I choose this far-off destination? First of all, I would like to comment that my favorite bands are Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura. Amazingly both come from the largest and populous city of Scotland: the beautiful and colorful Glasgow. Therefore, the greatest reason to choose Glasgow like…is to know how the environment (people, typical food, buildings, etc.) of the city influences the music style and lyrics creations of the members of the bands. I
 It seems strange to think that my favorite style of music comes from to the same place and my purpose would be to discover this mystery going across the avenues of the third most populous city in the United Kingdom. Obviously, I will do my best to reach a meeting with them (I would not lose anything trying it). If my efforts don’t work, Glasgow has many other attractions (unfortunately none of them is better than knowing my idols) like biggest castles, modern buildings, pretty parks and canals, etc.

    it's an interesting option to visit the place where your idols come from...that way you can understand their music better. I like this idea.

    Hi Horacio, I have heard about Belle and Sebastian, but I didn't know that they are from Scotland, far less from Glasgow, I just know that city because I had heard about Glasgow Music Festival. Well, I hope someday you can go there, anyway if you couldn't know your favorite bands, you can know the beauty of Scotland as you said.

Sunny food

  Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food of all the times. In first place, I have to say that I’m not so good at making decisions. So, I’m going to pick three of the mouth-watering foods that exist to me: porotos granados, humitas y pastel de choclo. In my grandma’ house there is a vegetable garden where she grows beans, corn, basil, pumpkins, etc.   All these products are the basic substrates to make the marvelous home-cooked food. In this sense, I have to recognize that I eat my fist favorite food (porotos Granados) every weekend in summer. Also, in that season I enjoy the humitas frequently in despite of the difficulty of cooking this (and many flies fly around them).    When I changed my diet to the vegetarian one, I was afraid because that decision would generate that, for example, I couldn’t eat my third favorite food. But my grandma showed up like a super heroin and made a Pastel de choclo with a base of soy.   Unbelievably, the...

Headphones in my life

My favorite piece of technology are the headphones, because is the means to listening to my music and to live the experience to stay closer to my dear bands. I used every day my headphones, and when that didn’t happen, probably it will not be a good day.    Now, I am going to talk about one of those bad days:  when I forgot my headphones in some classroom. When I realized of it, I felt terrible because I didn´t know what had happened with them. Later, I thought about the places where I could find my valued headphones… but nothing! Fortunately, I remembered that I was in the Aularios during the morning and like a datum: I always keep my belongings under the tables. With that feeling, I went to talk with the Aularios’ assistants and they allowed me to come into the classroom. Despite my pessimism, I amazingly found my headphones safe and sound. Since of that trouble, I look after my headphones like a saint bone.

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...
