My Hobbies

I do not have many hobbies, but I like ping pong and cycling. My whole life I have been riding my bicycle, especially in the mornings. I have not been able to do it for a long time, because I have very little time, but I still like it. I like to ride a bike in the Bicentennial Park, of Cerrillos obviously because I live there, not in Vitacura.  Pin pong is a sport I hated when I was in the school, because it was very difficult for me, but this changed radically when I went to university. Last year I played by chance again after a long time, and I realized that I did not play as badly as before, I even played well. Now, I tried to play with my friends once time in the week, usually on Fridays.  I like ping pong, because it is a game that requires a lot of agility and patience. Besides, it is one of the few sports that I like to practice. I like to play ping pong in the Faculty of Medicine, because there the ping pong tables are very good and there is a lot of space; but in...

My favourite photo

I really do not know who took the picture, but I really like it. This photo shows an awesome thunderstorm in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, in March 2015. This time, the electrical storm affected much of the central Chile, especially the coast of Valparaiso region, and it was very strong and beautiful (at least for me).  The image of the rays falling to the sea is very striking and beautiful at the same time.  Since I was little i have liked all kinds of natural phenomena, however dangerous they may be, they do not scare me. I think that all the manifestations of nature, however potent they may be, are something to be enjoyed. I also love the images of erupting volcanoes, especially the eruption of the Villarrica volcano in 2015, but as the professor talked about volcanoes I could not choose the same theme. Nature is the only thing we can not fight, we just to have to adapt, and respect her.

What is my favourite band?

Well, it is a difficult question, that´s why I did not vote for this topic. I like a lot of bands, especially Coldplay and U2, but this time I will choose U2. This is a rock band and was formed in 1976 and consist of: Bono (vocalist), the Edge (guitarist), Larry Mullen Jr. (drummer) and Adam Clayton (bassist).  Why I like this? Because it´s a band that has managed to stay in force despite having 40 years on the stages and have songs that have a very deep lyrics and difficult to match (for example where the streets have no name), and also obviously for the interpretive quality of each one of its members. The voice of Bono is not as good as when he was young, because in his best years he had a very powerful voice, but still can reach very high notes despite his age. The albums of this band are very good, but I prefer to see and listen to them on Youtube on live, because the songs are much more powerful as well. The U2 360ª Tour has been bigger of all the history, and also was the t...
