La Pequeña Gigante

Imagen
 Along my short life, I've been in a few festivals, exhibitions and shows for reasons like I didn't hear about them or, simply, they didn't attract my attention. But when I was just a little kid, it came a show that nobody can miss for then. It was January of  2007 when the Santiago a Mil festival crowded the avenues and boulevards with the visite of  a six-meters-tall little girl in the capital city. The french theater company Royal de Luxe have come to the city to present its La Petite Géante show (The Little Big girl show), a six-meters-tall wooden doll who paralized the whole city to watch her take a shower, brush her teeth, and go to sleep. For then I was a 6 years-old kid, who with my family, was one who crowded Alameda to see this charismatic giant girl. I was so wondered to see walk this big doll through the avenue while the theater company players operate her pulling big strings and "flying" when strings pull them. For me that was the most beautiful and m

El Yeso reservoir

 Good mornig, Reader! For my second post I'm going to tell you about a little trip I did in 2018. In July of that year, my cousin Carlos called me to invite me to go with him and his son, Benjamín, to a day trip to El Yeso reservoir, an important body of water that feed Santiago de Chile. The reservoir is placed in Andes at an important high from sea level (3000 mamsl), so it takes a few hours to get there from Santiago by car. My cousin decided to go up early and have lunch at the place, so I we left Santiago to El Yeso in the morning to arrive at noon. The travel through San José de Maipo was long and beautiful and I enjoyed the sight on the way.  As was planned, we arrived around noon, we left the car and began to walk to the reservoir.

Finally, w

About Me

 Hello, Reader!  Welcome to my blog. My name is Martín Mejías Cárcamo, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Chile, the thinest, longest and southern country in the world. I live in Santiago de Chile, the Capital city, and nowadays I'm studying Architecture at Universidad de Chile. I began to study at the college in the first semester of 2020, in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic-, the worst desition I ever made as a college student-, but I have been able to carry with that mistake to current days. Only few subjects I have failed. In my family, I'm the last child of three siblings, so I'm "el conchito" of my family, and my older brother and sister bother me for that. As family, almost all like pets -less my mom-, in particular dogs, so we have two playful and funny doggies. Some of my hobbies are reading books, playing videogames, and mainly take naps in the afternoons. For learning purpose, I created this blog for practicing my English writing and learning how to e
