Immigrants like myself


Hello


This picture is very old. It shows to my great-grandfather and some of his family. This picture is very special for me because it was published in a newspaper in my home town in tribute to the immigrants. My great-grandfather and my grandfather were immigrants like myself. They came from Spain to Chile at the beginning of the last century. Now that I am in a different country than mine I think a lot about them. I think it is very difficult to be an immigrant and even in a country with a different language but I think it's worth at least try turn this country in my country as well as my ancestors did.

Concepción City my City

















Hello
These pictures show Concepción city and part of the University of Concepción at night. I was born in this city and I studied in this Univeristy. Concepción city is the second largest city in Chile. The main activities in this city are the factories and universities. Concepción was founded by spanish Pedro de Valdivia on October 5th, 1550. This city was destroyed by a tsunami in 1552 and rebuilt at its current location. Next to the city is the Bio Bio river and the Pacific Ocean. This city is sorrounded by mountains. Currently my parents in law and a sister in law are living in this city.
Concepción city is a beautiful place.
Good nigth everybody.

Chile's Antartic


















Hello:

The pictures show that penguins are birds typical of the Antartic Continent. Also show the Chilean O'higgins Base. This base is built on the edge of the Antartic Continent, at this place scientists and military live with their families. There is a school to educate children who live in that place. Two o three years ago was born the first baby in this base. Many Chileans geologists and of other countries visit the Antartic Continent with scientific purposes. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to visit this interesting and unknown continent.

Now I go to my bed. Good night everybody.
