SECTION 5 CRISTOBAL ORTEGA

Hello everyone, it's me again. Today I'm going to tell you about a food that I like very much: cazuela. The cazuela is a typical plate of Chilean gastronomy and other countries in Latin America. The cazuela is like a soup with beef or chicken broth with vegetables such as pumpkin, stew and potato. I like it with rice. I really like cazuela because it is very tasty and nutritious. Also, my grandmother used to cook it when I was a child, so it brings back a lot of memories. The cazuela is very good for your health, I don't think it has a negative impact. I find it very interesting that cazuela is a dish that brings together very diverse cultural traditions, it represents a syncretism of elements brought from many cultures. I believe that all Chileans have tasted cazuela at some time in their lives, it is one of the most recognized dishes in the country.

Technology is something that is all around us in our daily lives. This is why it is very difficult for me to choose a specific object. There are too many aspects to judge what piece of technology is my fauvorite, for example: to comunicate, to have fun, to work, to learn, etc. But, undoubtedly, the object that meet all these characteristics is my computer. I use my computer to read, write, play video games, communicate (by email or whatsapp) or see movies. The functions of a computer are very complete, it is very useful for university and for chilling out, thats why it is my fauvorite piece of technology. The effects of the computer in my life are positive and negative. For example, a positive aspect is that I can use it to do my university tasks and reads. Unfortunately, however, the computer takes a lot of my concentration because I have all my games on it. Then, when I must read or do some homework, I tend to lose concentration easily playing video games. In conclusion I recomen...

Hello everyone! Today I am going to tell you how and why I came to study anthropology at "Universidad de Chile".  First of all, I must tell you that in my last year of school I was very undecided about what to study. I was good for humanities but the socially accepted options were few in this area, and for anything I wanted to study law, so I went to study "Musical Composition". Spoiler: terrible idea. After studying music for a semester, I realized that I had romanticized too much the musician's job, so I had a vocational crisis. As I wrote in the previous blog I went to work as a merchant marine all the following semester, where I had a lot of time to contemplate, read and, most importantly, be in contact with nature. This moment in my life was very important for me to realize that I was very curious about the human being, especially about his interaction with the environment. So, I started to investigate some disciplines that studied this type of subjects and...
