A country that i'd like to visit


Hello, today i'll be writing about a country that i would like to visit one day. The first country that comes to my mind is Nigeria, in Africa. I would like to go there because one of my favorite writers is from Nigeria, her name is Chimamanda Gnozi Adichie.

She usually writes about ancestral cultures that has been destroyed and different traditions that are fighting to survive. I would like to go there to experience that, to appreciate a different culture that I have been reading for a while now. I actually don't know much about Nigeria, but I will be investigating soon for sure. I only know about this country through the books I have read, and everytime I read these books i'm fascinated by how she writes with passion about her natal country. She writes about believing in ancestral goddess and doing rituals in some communities to honor them. I think that what captured me more was the fact that Nigeria used to have different religions that christianity and catholicism left in second place or even exterminated. Actually, at the present time only 1,4% of the population belong to other religions. Besides, Nigeria has 516 languages at the time, but english is their official language after the British colonization (although it is not used in rural areas and ethnic groups). Chimamanda used to use some word and sentences written in igbo and yoruba which are indigenous languages.

I would like to go and talk to the people there, maybe go to one of those rituals that takes place in public spaces. Of course i would like to try to approach to this culture with respect. I don't think i would go there to study, work or live. I think i would go as a tourist, cause that's what i am to them. Besides, i wouldn't like to live at such a hot country 😂😂😂😂.

    Hi April, I find really fascinating that you would like to visit this country. I'm a woman that never goes out from her comfort zone so it would be very difficult to me to visit a country with such a different culture, so I think it's amazing!

My post graduate studies

Today I will be writing about my post graduate studies. For a long time I thought I was going to Spain right after I graduate. At the time I didn't know what I was going to study then but I was sure I was was going to. Over time I realized that I didn't like studying (I mean, i love to learn but I don't like "the academy"), and that I was not that excited about the idea of keep studying after I graduate. So right now I'm hoping that it won't be neccesary to get my first job. Anyway, maybe when i'm working I'll realize that I need to learn new contents to keep doing my job or to do something else; but that I'll make that decision later and not right after I graduate. On the other hand, what I really like to do now, or when I graduate, or when i'm 30 or 50 is attending to classes or workshops to learn different skills and knowledge. I would like to learn more techniques to do handcraft for example, or learn another language. Right now i woul...

My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is my car radio. I got it when my parents bought our car around 2 years ago. I use it when I go driving around my neighbourhood, but I principally get in the car for listening to music, because is one of my favourite places to do that. I do it whenever I feel like I have to do it, usually when I get a new cd or just want to listen an specific musician. I like it because it sounds so clear and you really get into the song. It's like having a space where you can be alone and listen to your favorite music for understing it. My life without it would be the same but I wouldn't have this time by myself and a place where the music sounds that perfect.

My favourite photograph

Imagen
This is photograph was taken by my friend Fernanda, who I deeply love with all my heart. It shows me with three dogs that I met on the beach. It was taken on last year's winter holidays and I like it because that day me and my friend took a walk on our pijamas, it was cold so we had to put jackets on, and we walked along the beach all the morning. Those dogs started following us, they were very friendly. We sat on the sand just watching and listening the seawaves, and those dogs joined us, they were also watching the sea, and while we were doing that my friend started tooking pictures of the sea, the dogs, the hills, and the rising sun. The both of us were in total silence, just enjoying that cold breeze, the dogs runing around us, and the sun appearing between the hills. We just contemplate the view and it was a very quiet and lovely morning.
