The national stadium


Hi friends, today I will talk about a construction that I like and it means a lot to me. I'm talking about the national stadium located in Ñuñoa in the city of Santiago. Since I was a baby I'm going to see my team universidad de Chile at the national stadium where he plays local since its inception, my first memory is to see the team go to the field before the deafening scream of the public, and then stay playing in their bleachers.
This stadium was inaugurated on December 3, 1938, it was designed and planned by the austrian architect and urban planner Karl Brunner as a great sports and leisure center for the capital. In addition, in 2004 it was declared a historical monument. At the moment it has a capacity of 49.000 seated spectators, being the one with greater capacity of the country.

However, this coliseum also has a dark history. In 1973 and after the coup d'etat in September of that year that overthrew President Salvador Allende, the stadium's facilities were used as a detention and torture center for opponents of the dictatorship. According to testimonies of suvivors in the stadium, torture and executions were committed within it.

For these events, in the north gallery of the stadium was set up a monument that reminds all those people who suffered the worst of dictatorship in Chile and to say that the people do not forget or forgive.

Hello everyone today I will talk about something that I love, which is cooking, since I was very young I grew up with my grandmother who was a great cook and I saw and tried every dish she made. I also loved to eat and try new flavors, which is why cooking and food in general have always been fundamental in my life. Already larger at the age of about 12 years I started cooking, this was because I found myself every afternoon at home, because, my high school was in shot, I realized that cooking was something that I was given with ease and that other people liked my preparations. Little by little, I discovered new recipes and preparations that helped to shape my taste for cooking. Later in the university, I met my girlfriend Araceli who also loved the kitchen and together we began to venture into more culinary challenges and of greater difficulty, this helped me to make a great leap in my way of cooking, it gave me a new vision of what that is the kitchen and that you never miss new fl

Hi every one today I tolk abaout the revolucionary artist, his name is Banksy, this is the pseudonym of a prolific British street art artist. Although the data about his identity is uncertain, he was in the documentary called "Exit through the gift shop" but details of his biography are unknown. One of the things I like the most about his work, are his satirical pieces about politics, pop culture, morality and ethnicity, he combines writing with graffiti with the use of stencils. His works have become popular to be visible in several cities around the world, especially in London.
