I`m going to spend a week in London,evaluating tourist locations for an end of year study trip.

Our first day begins on december 1st,2011.It takes half a day,so we should be there at 10:00 A.M.
On that day we will visit the LONDON EYE.The amount we have to pay to get in for the 14 students is (busca el signo para libras esterlinas,si no lo encuentras,usa la palabra sterling) 234.36 sterling.
It`s situated on the South bank of the river Thames,opposite the Houses of Parliament.We have to take the chic.station,which is the nearest to get to that place.

Our next two days will be full outings.
We`ll visit the ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS,on december 2nd.
If we pay in advance,and being a group of 14,we`ll get a 15% discount,so the amount will be of 165.90 sterling.
Kew Gardens is 10 miles from central London and adjacent to the river Thames.It`s in zone 4,and the nearest tube station is Kew Gardens.
On dec.3rd,we`ll visit CAMDEN MARKET.
We don`t have to pay to get in,because it`s a huge market area,where shopping is done at the different stores around.
We should take either,Camden Town,or Chalk farm station,which are the nearest to get to that place.
Our next visit will be to the BRITISH MUSEUM.It`s a half day outing.
This will be on dec.4th.
Admission is free,too.
Holborne Station is the nearest,more or less 500 mts.far from the museum.

The price we should pay is around 195.30 sterling to get in.

We`ll go to visit the NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.
The Museum`s permanent gallery exhibitions are free to all visitors.But,if you want to buy interesting souvenirs,or some special stuff,may be we choose:

The nearest tube station is South Kensington.
Next day,that`s dec.7th,another half day outing.We`ll visit the TATE MODERN ART GALLERY.
We don`t have to pay to get in.But if you want to buy some stuff there,we should have,at least 1.070.86 sterling.Yes,it`s very expensive,but worthy.
Southwark ( Jubilee line is around 600 mts.).
Well,if we get the time,money and energy to see another places,we should visit:
The Windsor Castle,which is a magnificent historical building,and a working Royal Palace.It`s located on Berkshire.
We also should go and visit Kensington Palace.It`s located in Central line to Queensway.A wonderful place to see.

The total cost might be around 2.000.000 sterling.....Very expensive...!!!!!!

Meche and Miche,the best couple

I`m an animal lover, indeed. I used to have pets when I was a kid.
I guess,for my own experience,dogs are the best pets of all.
I don´t know anybody who owns an unusual pet.Of course,I don`t agree with the use of animals for medical research.
I don`t like having animals in a zoo....they`re free,by nature and they must live in their natural environment.
I dislike people buying or wearing fur coats...It`s awful !!!!! So,I`m against animal mistreatment;they have the right to be taken care of,to be sheltered,to be feeded,and most of all to be loved.
I know there are dangerous animals.In relation to that,I think,in the case of dogs,the owners must be very careful so that they do no damage on any person-

Animals and pets have always been a part in my life,since I was a girl

Mainly,a special one which came into my life and heart just a year ago.
She`s called "Meche"...my dear pet,a she dog.Any coincidence with my nickname ( "Miche") is just chance.
When I came to study in Stgo.,I felt rather alone.2 years passed by,but I didn`t feel good or happy.Something,or someone was missing in my life.
Later on,I was aware that lots of dogs and other animals were abandoned,and sometimes sheltered by adoption centers.
So,one day,I went to visit one of those centers.
There were so many dogs waiting to be adopted...but,there was she !!! The one in a hundred.
She looked scared of all people,alone just how I felt,and like wanting and needing to be loved and taken care of.No doubt.I brought her home.

"A country without documentary films is like a family having no photograph albums ". Patricio Guzmán

The person I most admire in my area is called Patricio Guzmán,because of his dedication and concern with social films.
He was born in Santiago de Chile,in August 11th,1941.
He got the double nationality,Chilean- Spanish.
Since he was a teenager,he felt attracted by documentary cinema.
He studied Cinematography at Catholic University in Chile,and later in Madrid,Spain.There he got the title of Director-Producer,in 1970.He,in a way,renewed the memories of our country,so full of emptiness. His most important documentals are called " The battle of Chile",and "Salvador Allende".To me,he`s the best documentalist in Chile,and I`d like to follow his example in my future work.When he showed his documental about Salvador Allende in our country,he was caught and sent to prision,actually,to the National Stadium.
With the help of his wife and some friends,he got out and he went to Europe to look for economical support to stage his film.
He received help from the Cuban Government.
That`s is why I admire him.A brave and great documentalist and person.
