Last weekend was time for Comic-Con here in Chile, it took place in Estación Mapocho at May, 20th, 21th and 22th and of course... and went to there, only one day unfortunality(May, 21th), but it has been one of my favourites day ever, really.
I did not get bored at almost 18:00 hours! when I really feel tired and I wanted to be in my bed reading all the comic books that I bought and uploaded all the photos that I took.
I went with three friends and we arrived there at 10:00 hours, there was almost nobody there, but more fast than we thought, the people started to arrive and later was very crowded.
There was a lot of stands of fanclubs like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Glee, Dr. House, Supernatural, X files and a lot of more, of course the presence of the channel FOX and a HUGE stand were we can took photos in a Dexter' series recreation. There was another HUGE stand that only shown the trailer of "X-man: Fisr Class" and "The planet of the Apes" and the same with a stand of "Green Lantern".
One of I liked the most was the stand of Tolkien Chile, there was medieval and rustic food that we can eat there!!!
That they was the premiere of a chilean movie: "La comiquería" de Nicolás Lorca, he said that was very difficult to make this movie, and more if it is about comics. It is the real story of a pulishing company that was called Dédalos, how that all start and how that died.
In total there was 5000 people that assist to the first Comic-Con in Chile, Comic-Con 2011, and I was one of them!! that make me really happy (: Now I am very anxious to next year's Comic-Con and I wish someday I can go to San Diego's Comic-Con in USA.

VItto and I
This is my favourite photo ever, it shows my brother and I <3, it was took by a nanny that we have at that age, we were playing at our parent's bed, jumping and laughing like always.It was taken in summer of 1997 in our apartament in Rancagua. I think I was like 7 years old and my brother 4 years old. I like it, because he is my youngest and only brother! we have a really close relationship since always, of course we had fights like every couple of brothers, but we can always get over them. Now I am living with him, at my grandmother's house here in Santiago, and I think we are even more closer that before. I really think he is the best brother in the world <3
I remember when we have to go to school at different times, one year, when i was in fourth grade and I had classes in the afternoon and he had classes in the morning, we spend less time together, and when we were watching tv, we think the other one was there, and we want to comment what we see on tv, but we can't! ohh it was too sad, at that times, I really miss him.
Tomorrow is his birthday and I am making him a gift, this photo will be great as one.
And this is my second favourite photo, this was taken at 2009 when he got confirmed, I am also his sponsor and that make our relationship even more special.
My dad always says that we are the best brother and sister that he knows... and he says he knows a lot of people.
My mom always says that she loves how we treat each other.
I know we are not as perfect as they see us, but I am happy being his sister.
Education
The education in Chile is something very important and it's a main topic of discussion these days.
According to the Human Development Index of the United Nations, Chile is in 53th place in the worldwide ranking of education quality and in 5th in Latin America after Cuba, Uruguay and Argentina. Also the University of Chile and the Catholic University of Chile are in the top 500 Universities of the world.
Unfortunality, in Chile we have very serious problems with education, but i think it's a cultural problem.
It all begins at home, with the education that our parents provide us such as basic values like not stealing or respect the older people.
But this not always happen. These children go to school where they play all day long and don't pay attention at all. There is no control by their parents, because many of them are at work, and so the kids don't take the lessons that the school provides them.
Another problem is the difference in acces to the education, because not all have the same opportunity to study, due to the differents social classes.
Education in Chile is not entirely free and so to study at the University, we must have a lot of money. Blessed are those who can, but for the people who can't do that, the State assumes responsability through scolarships and loans.
So this is how i see the education, through the eyes of a student, who spends most of her time at the University and who is concerned about these problems, because of her education depends her future.
