Best Concert Ever

I remember "The Offspring"'s show at Teatro Caupolican in 2013 as the best concert that I've been in my life. Actually I've been in lots of concert and live shows, including the red hot chili peppers in 2011, Sinergia in 2014 at the sit-in of Liceo 7 and in 2016 at Conchali's Municipality, I've seen "Los Tres" twice, among others. But I believe that the Offspring concert is the most special one for me, maybe it is because it is a band that a I used to listen since my childhood, with my older brother and my uncle, so it touches my nerves so deep as it reminds me to some really good parts of my life.

In that time, I went to the concert with an old friend of high school, Nicolas. We both used to play some Offspring songs at school; we were related to each other by this band. The funny thing is that we watched the full show of "Los Mox", the Chilean band that was playing before Offspring got out. The band was not actually of our style, we never liked metal, but it was ok. However in a point we were saturated by the crowd and the noise (The Mox played during 2 hours aprox) and we only wanted to see offspring and then get home to sleep a while.

The show was majestic. The guys, old but passionate, played during one and a half hour every song that we had listened since kids, and it was actually very emotional, the crowd was crazy and  reciting every song. It was very special. It was so crazy, the punkie guys, the pogos and the crowdsurfing made the scene and all went perfect.

I have to do again an honorous mention to another show that I went in 2017, the "Cafe Tacvba"'s show at "Hipodromo de Chile". The "Cafetas" is another really special band that reflects more my contemporaneous musical tastes than my adolescent ones. It is a Mexican band that kinda of represent the ethnic Latin American realities through their music, and that is something that I really like about them.

And here I am at the age of 16  back towards the stage, the picture was taken by Nicolas in 2013, at The Offspring's show.

A place i would like to visit

I have always dreamed to visit Africa, actually, when a was a kid, i used to think that someday i would go there by boat, crossing all through Atlantic Ocean untill i get there. If the question is about what is exactly what fascinates me about Africa, i would tell that is its magnificent environment and landscapes. I rather prefer natural landscapes instead of the classic and monumental tourist destination, and if we're talking about Africa, there's a lot to say: the Victoria Cataracts, Madagascar, the savannah, among others.

Another aspect that i really like of Africa is its fauna. Africa has one of the most diversal faunas in the world, and for me, it's a spectacle to see all of those animals living among each others: the innumeral flock of birds, the thousands zeebras that fill up the meadows, the hunting ritual; it's actually a pretty nice show.

I don't know if i would like to live there, because of the lingüistic gate basically. I think it's not so terrible to learn many languages, it could be fun actually, furthermore, english is a widespread language in the continent, and that's a good start place. But maybe i would only like to visit the natural places of Africa; the cities doesn't impress me so much.

Well, and before finish, i must do an "special mention" to a zone that recently have been caughting  my attention: Polinesia and the Pacific Ocean. Is a really interesting place also, it hides many misteries of the humanity itself that i'd like to study as anthropologist.
