Talking about the Transantiago.

First of all we have to say what TRANSANTIAGO IS. This is a public system of transport made by the participation of buses with the sub way. In the year that has appeared in the streets started to be different kind of buses. One bigger than others, the biggest called “troncales” and the smallest called “alimentadores”. They have to serve different functions, serving to the reality that we have main roads and streets whit not the same use that the main roads: so, the “troncales” have to travel in the main roads and in different communes, and the “alimentadores” have to travel in some others streets with less use and in a only commune.

Is very important to know that in this system, comparing whit the previous system, we have to use the Bip! Card. Thus when you use the bus you “pay” whit the card, like a fake money. Because, before, you have to pay with real money in the centres of Bip! Card.


Now, this system has a lot of problems. In particular we have the time wasted waiting for the bus, because when the people arrive to the bus station, they don’t know when it is going to pass, this system doesn’t have a regular horary. But passing the time the new project has improved. Comparing whit the other system, the old system, the new one is more secure, now, maybe more fast, but too expensive for the people that receive the minimum salary.


In my experience I can’t say much. Because if me memory is right, I only have used the old system like a one time. And that opportunity was very funny. In the new system I have to support the heat and be pressed by the people, but the sad thing is: this system is the only way to get the place in the right time when we need it. So, a lot of people has to suffer the bad conditions of this transport. I think that one of the essential problems is the number of people, the number is huge and there are fewer buses for us. The capacity of the buses can’t cover all the needs of the people. Just look in the morning, oh a beautiful morning!, sharing smells and other disgusting things in the nice morning that all of us have to live.


To make it better, I think that we need more buses, more bike’s roads, a spirit of sport, and a little of patience, maybe fewer earnings of the businessmen.

thinking about think

Well, if I can speak –well, write- about all kind of things I’m going to try to say some things related to thinking. This ability it’s supposed to be a particular and singular ability of the human race. But we can find some exceptions to that thing: there is the chimpanzee smiling in front of our faces, saying that this ability could be reached by anyone. Just we have to wait and see if this particular kind of money can suffer an evolution.

In another way I only can write about everything and I’m thinking. But, what happen when some people say that they do something without think? They only say that for give a bad excuse. In the real way they are always thinking, in a conscious or in an unconscious way.

Perhaps that’s a problem for us. Say that we are always thinking, all controlled by the mind? I have to look for more information about that: the relation of our thinking and our acts.

The act of write is a very special thing. Related, obviously, whit the intelligence. We have to think about how much we control the things that we are writing. Looking for the right thing, the thing that we are thinking. But the lecture of another person is other thing, we can’t try to thin all the ways that can conduce the text to the reader.

The country that I would like to visit

The first country that I want to visit when I’ll travel out of our country, obviously, is Brazil. The only thing I know about this country is that a lot of people talk about it like one of the lungs of our planet, in particular, the Amazonas (a big beautiful jungle, thanks to the trees is the "lung" of the planet). Besides, in that jungle you can find a lot of different monkeys, estranges insects and more surprises. In this place, well, is enormous, almost everything is green, and that color is my favorite, another point to convince me for visiting that part of Brazil. In the opposite in this city (Santiago) I hate the bad air, whit all polluted. Then, going to one of the lungs of the world I want to clean my lungs with fresh air. Finally, thinking about work or study there, I find that this place will not have a lot of works or universities, so I think that I’m going to need a lot of food and instruments to survive. Like a tent, a good knife, rope, boots, a hat, and other things. Like a nice adventure, maybe I will not survive it but it’s a very interesting thing to do comparing to have to work here in this country surrounded of contamination and big buildings with no soul.
