Just Relax!!

hello everyone! How are you today??

Well, I must say that this days I have been feeling veeery tired...I really want this term to end!

Fortunately, there are only two days left! I' m very happy about that because finally i will be able just to relax!!

I have to recognize that sometimes i get a little bit stressed with all the works that we have to do and all the texts that we have to read at the differente courses. But no matter what we have to do, i think that it is very important to dedicate a special moment to ourselves and leave all our concerns aside. 

I think that there exist many different ways to get relaxed and spend a nice time. For example, I really enjoy to listen to my favourite music, close my eyes and think of something pleasant, like walking in a beautiful and quiet forest or just staring at sea. 

Another way to forget all our problems and have a good time is to do any kind of sport that you like. It really works for me. It doesn't matter what type of sport you like doing, physical activity is a efective way to come in contact with your body and release all the stress. Personally, i like riding my bike or doing yoga. The only problem with riding my bike here, in Santiago, is that this city is not really suitable for cycling. Santiago is always plenty of cars, so it is quite dangerous for the cyclist, it' s a shame!! 

Of course there exist many other ways to get relaxed...Would you like to recomend me yours? 

Enjoy your holidays and see in march!!! BYE   =) 

Next destiny : Perú!!

Hello classmates!!
Today i am going to write about my plans for my next summer holiday!!
This year i decided to go to Perú! I feel very excited about this because i have never been there before and I have hear that Perú is a really nice country, specially Machu picchu, as you all should know.... I am really looking forward to this trip!
I am going to travel with four friends from  school and i think that we are going to have a great time during the trip because we know each other very well and we love to spend time together.
We decided to go to Perú because it seems to be a very interesting country and everyone who has been there says that El Cuzco and  Machu Picchu are amazing places.
First of all, we will arrive to Lima, which is the capital city. We will stay at my uncle's house, that lives there since 2008. He will take us around the town to show us the typical places. My uncle told me that the peruvian food is very good and cheap...but if you don't like spicy and hot food you have to be very careful!
We are going to stay in Lima only for four days, and after that we are going to visit El Cuzco!
Cuzco was the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th century and it was declared a "Worl Heritage Site". I think that it is very interesting to visit this place because it gives you the possibility to know an important part of the roots of latinamerican culture.
I am sure that this trip is going to be a great experience!!

Erotic Art in Roman Britain

Hello everyone!
Today i am going to write about an interesting article that i found in The Guardian.
This article is related with anthropology because it is about roman art...Art is a very important part of the culture of a society that is way threre exist an special area of anthropoligical studies called "Antrhopology of Art". If you really want to understand a different culture, it is very helpful to pay attention to the artistic expression that it has.
Ok, Here we go with the summary of the article!

 "Porn yesterday: Roman brothel tokens and the rise of erotic art"
This article is about the origin of erotic art in Roman Britain. There has been found, beside the Thames, a kind of coin that has on its surface a representation of a sex scene. This type of coin was use to gain access to the ancient roman brothels.
The erotic images represented in this coins were very common in Renaissance Italy, and it is thought that they had a great influence in the origin of modern pornography. As we can notice erotic images were a part of the artistic expression in the Antiquity and the Renaissence.
It is possible to notice the influence of antique erotic art in the work of Guilio Romano (a renaissence artist from the 16th century). Romano's work is very similar to the erotic images from Roman London.
Another place where you can appreciate antique art are the ruins of a Roman bath in north wales. In this place you can see how romans recreated their way of life in an artistic way.
