The best holidays ever

The best vacation I ever had, at least the one I remember best, was in 2008 when I was only 8 years old. My family and I went camping in Puyehue, Osorno, we stayed there for a week and a half. 

A curious fact about that vacation is that the original plan was to go to Argentina, but we couldn't cross the border because only my mom, dad and older sister had identity documents, while my brother, sister and I didn't (we are 4 siblings), so they wouldn't let us cross the border. Because of that situation we decided to go to Osorno instead. 

Personally, I feel it was the best vacation because it was the first time I traveled so far south in Chile and saw such a beautiful place with so much vegetation, I had previously traveled to natural places as well, but when we went to Osorno we stayed in a camping site that had access to the Puyehue lake, so we could go into the lake whenever we wanted, besides, you could see the mountain range in the background and the grass was quite green, giving the place such a magical and wonderful image.

I remember that we sailed in two-person pedal boats, which required strength and coordination, it was a great and fun exercise.  We also went to the "Festival y Fiesta Nacional de la Leche y la Carne", a festival originally from Osorno, which is very important for the traditions of that city, we witnessed musical and comic acts.

The event that marked me the most and the one I remember the best was when we went to Lake Puyehue to sail in rowing boats and I was with my older sister, who was 17 years old at the time. We started off well but the boat began to go to a very deep part of the lake and we remained static in that area for fear of falling and dying, since we both did not know how to swim. Luckily there was a restaurant nearby and the owner helped us get to shore and out of the lake. We had to walk back across a rocky path and we were not wearing shoes because we left them outside the boat when we got in, it was quite an event.

Let's talk about the pandemic   The covid-19 pandemic   has brought many problems to the people, among them are: Increase in unemployment  and impoverishment of the Chilean  population. Increase in cases of gender violence, domestic violence demands and femicides. Closure of educational and care centers such as universities, schools, kindergartens, nursery centers, among others.  Increase in the price of food, basic necessities products and services.  High human infection and high number of fatalities. On the other hand, another consequence of the pandemic is the changes that people were forced to go through. Some of these changes are:  Change from presential modality to online modality for the classes. Closure of stores and restaurants. People should preferably shop online.  Prohibition of social gatherings of any kind. Finally, if we visualize a future after the pandemic, hopefully a near future, I personally believe that social gatherings will return, stores and restaurants will

  What's like to study Anthropology? I study anthropology at Universidad de Chile in the Social Science Faculty.  I chose this career because I always found the study of human beings and cultures fascinating and necessary. I also envisioned myself in a social career with human contact rather than one surrounded by machines. In addition, my desire to contribute to a change for a better world influenced me as well.    I am currently in my second year and have not been able to have face-to-face classes since I was accepted into college due to the covid-19 pandemic. For these reasons, I have only had online classes, which is visually exhausting, hard to concentrate, lonely due to not having direct contact with my classmates, and stressful. However, it also has advantages such as being able to watch recorded classes, getting up later and not having to leave the house (at least for me). I hope the pandemic is over soon so I can see my loved ones and attend college. I would really hate to
