Four hours in Devonport

 The last weekend, my friends and I did something unusual. 

We took a ferry, and we went to Devonport, in Auckland. 

We did not knew what to do, so we just walk around of this beautiful and Historic Village. 

 In contrast to the another people, we did not went to the boutiques, or cafes, we went to the small waterfronts, and we enjoyed the sea.             

Nicolas Oporto, Milan Menke. 

After that, we went to the Most Victoria,a hill and we roam the tunnels, we enter for the dark alleys and we got scared because everything was too dark.

After that, we arrived at the climb  and we enjoyed the beautiful view with a good conversation.

Book Review no.2

                                           

   The Eyes of the Siberian Dog (Los Ojos del Perro Siberiano in Spanish)  is                                        a book written in march of 1998 by Antonio Santa Ana,

  an Argentinian writer, about a adolescent who is preparing to travel to U.S.A.

  He starts to tell his story, which starts when he had 5 years.

"There are things that it is better just do not talk", this is that the mother and father of Ezequiel says, but his little brother thinks different and he want to know what is happen, when Ezequiel leave the house because he is sick and one part of the family decides ignore him, and pretend that he does not exist.

His brother try to know why, and this story is about his search, with a lot of memories and experiences with the innocence that  just a boy can have during his childhood.

This book surprise us with the metric and metaphors, every word have a incredible sense, and every detail is important for this play. 

The Bach suites, the books that are mentioned and reading by the narrator have a little touch of sensibility that just the readers can notice. Santa Ana catch the emotion of the unknown things, the incomprehensibly significance of the things that have repercussions in the childhood and after,

manifest during the adulthood. 

Personally this book means a lot, indicate the feeling who one have when something change abruptly.

A classic Latin juvenile book, with more than 400.000 copy and translated into Italian.

                      

Tramping Weekend!

This is one of things that you have to do once time in your life. 
Take your feelings, your troubles and your energy put in your bag and let's go for the adventure!
Two weeks ago, I went to Waitakere Ranges, in Auckland, New Zealand, with international friends and the staff of the school.
I had 17 kilos on my back, and I was exhausted at the 2 first hours.
I just wanted to go back home, I hated everything.
But my tutor teacher said to me that I was doing that really well because was my first time.
I believe that, and after our first stop, I was on the top of the group.
I take this opportunity to learn about myself, I was conscious about my physical conditions, about the thing that I could do and the things that I could not.
I discovered my abilities.
This was the first time that I understand that thing that everybody says "It is really hard go to the climb of the mountain, but the view worth it."
I learn about the different cultures

We was four Germans, one Japanese, one Nederland and two Chileans.
We sang ours nationals songs,  we spoke about our reality in our countries, the identity of our culture and ours points of views.
I learn one story of the Maori culture, about one woman who died waiting for the love of her life and I notice that the "Love" is the same in every part of the world.

I made great friends, seriously, i love those two girls.

I saw Amazing things 

And i learn a lot about myself. The things that I want, the things that I chose, the opportunities that I have and i change my perspective about the things that I want to do in the future.

I learn how to build a tent and how to make fire, I survived in the cold night and in the hot day. 

Going up was difficult, descending too, sometimes just walk was terrible, but I struggled and I did it, and this adventure it is just starting.
