Serbia and the gipsies

One of the countries that I would like to know, could be Serbia. Really, I like all the balcans countries, but Serbia has something that I love its culture and traditions.

I like Kusturica movies. He´s a bosnian film director and always he shows his culture, the balcanic traditions. When I watch "The Time of the Gypsies", by him, I loved this place and I began to study about it: their political, education norms, and everything.

I would like to know Serbia, because the gypsy culture was born there. It´s a beautiful land. The buildings are old constructions, all perfect and elegant good.

However, after I know the country, I would like to visit the Danubio river. The gypsies live there, in launchs and tents. Who have much money, can own earths and houses around the river, but, everyone lives in extreme poverty.

In Serbia, I will do anything. Principally, I would like to know Belgrad, their capital. I´ll see a Red Star of Belgrad football match. I´ll buy a serbian -croatian dictionary to learn the language. Then, I would like to go where gypsies live. After, I´ll stay with them, trying of learn their traditions. With my family, we´ll travel through all Serbia!!!

More than work, I would like stay to live and investigate something that I like. In Occident, the people don´t know about their culture. For this reason, I ´ll write a serbian culture book for many people will enjoy with the balcans. And also, I´ll try to learn their music, that´s so funny.

New term in English

The last term of 2010 was very tiring for me. Each class was very difficult, principally "Enfoques Latinoamericanos", where I didn´t have good marks. Well, the university life is this. But, I learned things that I never thought to study, like public relations or organizational communication by profesor Laureano Checa. He´s a litlle bureaucratic for his business, but with him I learned very much. Whatever!! It was a wonderfull experience.
However, like the academic demand didn´t leave me in peace, neither I could do many sports activities. Just on holidays, I played football or basketball with my friends, but for a short time. Between the subjects that I studied, shoot the ball on saturday or sunday without have anything after, it was unbelieveble. In fourth year of Journalism they teach us TV Production, and everyone had that go out to film. That was very tiring, because it demands a lot of time. No rest, no free time, no nothing!! But I survived.
I´m from Los Andes. I traveled almost every day. The problem was that in my city, neither I could have free time.
Now, I have many challenges for this term. The first is to get my Social Comunicator´s degree, so I can do class in the university. After, I want to work in my professional practise... God want that it will be in my dear Los Andes and not here, in Santiasko!!! The second is become a good journalist.
But, the most important is to live in calm with my parents, my litlle cat and everybody happy. They are relevant for me, but without them, I´m nothing. They are sacrifying for me... Now, it´s my turn.
