holiday destination

When I’m going on vacations I prefer the places with long natural extensions than the big cities because I like to walk log distance by the hills or along rivers. For example I prefer to visit the hide places on america than visit the big cities of europe. In general, I like the great forest, and the jungle, but I’ve never been there, I hope that I can go this summer to the Ecuatorial part of the amazonas. I also like the beach, and I already know a lot of good beaches in chile, peru and argentina.

The first place that I remember where I have a great time, is the sun island, on the midle of the bolivian side of titi-caca lake. This island was one of the places that the Incas use to improve they agriculture knowledge, and to develop the religion rituals.

I like this place because you can walk the complete island, I mean side to side in less than one day, but with lots of places where you can make camp, and enjoy the huge lake. Another thing that I like of the sun island is the weather, because the day is mostly clear with intense sun, but in the night, there almost always an impresive electric storm, that make more beautiful the look of the inca ruins.

For the next summer I got plans to visit Ecuador, because I like the beach, and some friends told me that in Ecuador are the best beaches of the pacific ocean, so I want to know if thats true. I also like the jungle, and Ecuador has it too, so maybe this is my chance to know the amazonas. I’m going to travel with my girlfriend, just like the last three years, and maybe with a group of friends that we meet on machu-pichu on the last summer.

I got four friends that travel to Ecuador like two years ago, and they give me a notebook where they writte all the cheapest places to stay and to eat, so I think I’m lucky because I wouldn’t have to worry about searching hotels or restaurants.

what treatments work for neck pain

The article about neck pain uses a physical therapy point of view for describes a lot of ways to treat the neck pain.
The first way is mobilisation, what and in a few words, is to improve the movement of the neck joints. this must be done by a physical therapist. some reserch says that this treatment sometimes produce hedaches or more pain.
Manipulation by a chiropractor is other way that appears in the article and consist in a quick move of the neck joints that release the pain. But in 1 of 20 persons it was counter-productive and causes more pain.
Directed exercise, It's also a good way of treatment, the goal is to improve the flexibility of the neck muscles with strengthening exercises. this is better for people with chronic neck pain.
If we combine the treatments that I've said before, we can get better results, and studys have found that manipulation and exercise is the better combination.
there are also some alternative ways of treatment like acupunture. Acupunture is a legendary chinese technique that consist in put needles in specific points, but it's not realy sure how can this help to reduce the pain.
The doctors also recomends drugs for neck pain treatment, using anti-inflamators, painkillers, muscle relaxants and antidepressants.
There are other pain paliatives like TENS. TENS is the use of electric nerve stimulation.
The article talks about special pillows too, but with no studys that confirms it's useful.
as a conclution I can say that in first way, we must see a doctor when we have a serious or reiterative neck pain, because exist a lot of tratments that we can take to get better.

about transantiago

Well, I think that transantiago is not so bad, but I agree that it has many problems that need to be fixed now. I also know that my opinion is based on my experience, and I think I have been very lucky because when I talk with other person about this topic, they always tell me about waiting for hours or something like that.
The transantiago is better than the old system in many ways: The school students are not discriminated now. The people that needs to take more than one bus just pay one time, and the use of a tarjet to pay its much more clean and fast than coins. But in other points of reference it’s worse than the yellow buses, because sometimes force people to take 3 or 4 combinations when is not necesary.
In my experience, I can say that it always help me. When it started, I studied in JGM and it was even much easier to go there from my house than with the old system. And now I can say the same thing.
In my opinion it must get better the frecuency and the prices must reduce, maybe untill make it free, because most of times we use public transport as an obligation, and also because in a free system, maybe some people start to leave the car at home, and reduces the polution. The last thing is the use of green technologies for the public transport, maybe electric buses, troleis, etc.

A country I would like to visit

I would like to visit many countries for diferent reasons. In first way, I would like to travel for vacations to Turkey, just because I’ve seen some pictures and it seems really beautiful.

Besides that, I want to travel along the pacific coast, to finaly get to Ecuador, because I like the jungle and the beach, so I think its the right place to visit. That’s why I am trying to make some Money before the summer.

The reason for want to visit the places that I have mention before, is vacation, but I also want to live and study out of chile for a while. One of the countries I would like to live in is England, but not in london, I don’t like the great cities. Anyway, even I want to live there, I also want to come back sometime. I haven’t look for information about going outside it, because I want to finish my career fisrt on this university.

I also heard about some schoolarchips to finish physical therapy on Barcelona and I think it is a very good option to complement the theory that I’m learning here with the experience of work in a free health system.

the last post

Well, my experience with this way of practice the English language has some positive things and also some negative others. On first place I want to say that it’s a good way to improve the grammar and the kind of things that we need to know for talk about something.
Anyway I don't enjoy it very much, for the simple fact that I prefer another use for the blogs, but if in another way I can say this is a good opportunity, and maybe I didn't take the benefits. Another think that makes me feel I didn't enjoy this activity it's because we have to work under pressure, and sometimes I must leave some ideas that I had just for not having enough time.
But it wasn't all so negative for me, I did like some topics, like the one about my favourite photo, or some things related with physical therapy.
As a critic, with the intention of improve the positive things that this system has, I suggest that the students may choose what they want to write about, at least one time, the blog about a free topic, and use that tool to motivate the participation.
I think here's some bad things too, like the minimum words, because sometimes you don't know how to complete and you start to write with nonsense whatever it pass through your mind, like now, I'm writing this just for add some more words and to complete the 300 that I need.
The blog classes it did helps me to improve my English knowledge, because when I was about to finish an idea, sometimes I have to look after for some new words, or maybe some expressions so I could write exactly what I want to say, and in the way that I was thinking about.
This activity has improved with no doubt my vocabulary and the capacity to insert those words on a coherent context an express the right thing.

blog 4. Comment on a photograph I like

This picture was taken by me with a common digital camera from the sun gate on top of Machupichu, Perú, and the house that appears is one of the five reconstructed houses of the royal yard, but i pick that for the photo because is the one that receives the first sunbeam on summer's mornings, just on a stone table in the middle of the hall passing by the eye of the sun gate, so we can imagine that Incas receives the sun on different houses on spring, summer, fall and winter. About this, the archaeologists think they got a different leader on each station of the year decided by god (sun).
It was taken on last summer, specifically on february.
I like this photo very much because it represents something that I felt when I was there. That machupichu is not a ruin, it's most like an abandoned city. I also like this photo because when I see it, I can remember all the view that I had around and all the parts I visited that day.

Career-related Website

I think that www.morfo.cl is a good website for a physical therapy student, Cause provides us of lots of images and radiology images really useful for anatomy study. The reason I prefer to study from this site is that belong U chile, so the information on it is the requested by the teachers.

I found this site in the group mail, because someone share the link an a little description, so I try it and I like it very much.

I visit this website like 2 times a week, for comparing the book's images and anatomy classes. In this way I can complement my knowledge about anatomy and prepare for the test.

Even I think it's a good site, I know it can be much better if they include a question-answer page for practicing, or maybe an interactive part for the same purpose. About this I've been thinking on send a mail to the page administration whit this recomendation.
