Transantiago

Transantiago is the new way to conceive the public transport in the city of Santiago. When this system started it produced a social problem with a lot of difficulties. The main problems it were to change the mentality of people -reluctant to change- and the failure in funding system. Some problems have solutions, the government had to finance most of the system and it has been improving slowly.
I like transantiago because it is better than the old system, witch was dirty, polluting and chaotic. With the new system the buses are mostly brand new, so they are less polluting, this vehicules are larger than previous ones. The use of the Bip card is another advantage, now we don’t have to carry cash. In the future the improving GPS systems in the buses should result in a better traffic flow.

My first term of 2009

The first time of this year i was very busy with my main occupations: studing in the university, my family business and my job in archaeology. In general terms it was a very hard time for me. Firstly, i had to pass for a second time a difficult course to me, with a bad (or mad) profesor, this situation was very exhausting and i was on the verge of stress, it was definitely my biggest challenge.
On the other hand, my family was a constant support, but not economic terms because i had to constantly work when time permited. The opportunities for work in archaeology were lower the last semester, but in compensation, i have more work opportunities in the summer.
