BBC learning english

Today, as you all know, we had to review the BBC's website for learning english. And what i loved the most about it was the quizzes section, i've always liked crosswords and that kind of stuff and i got caught up in that section for nearly half the class, i think challenging myself is a good way to improve my skills, i´ve done it since i was a child, and in fact, today answering some of them i learned that i really lack vocabulary, so i think i'll be visiting the site often in order to improve it. About the rest of the sections i was only able to see some kind of "comic" story? i don't know if that's the most accurate way to describe it, but the point is that i found it very useful, it describes common situations and it explains you popular expresions that you won't find in a regular dictionary.

The place i chose from the list is Madame Tussauds wax museum. It opens every day, except for Christmas Day. It is placed in Marylebone Road, London, and you can get there by subway, it is just a two minutes walk away from Baker Street station. I liked this museum over the others because of many reasons, first, i like movies and seeing some characters in real size and with so many details must be pretty awesome, and that gets me to the second reason. I was looking on the website a little bit of the process that takes making these sculptures, and considering how accurate they are to the real person, i think it´s worth paying the ticket that honestly i found a little expensive, specially if you change it to chilean money (it costs £30.00 an adult one, or something near to $24.000 CLP if i'm not mistaken) 

A Concert or Exhibition

If i have to choose a concert i want to write about, i think it would definitely be "Lollapalooza 2011" even though it's not actually just one.
Why?, well, because it was the first one ever made outside the USA, because i loved a lot of the artists that performed in it, and because if memory serves, it was the first two-days concert i ever went to. 
It was on April 02 and 03, inside Parque O'higgins, i went with two of my friends, and it was exhausting but a really awesome experience.
Some of the artists i remember the most were 30 seconds to mars, The Killers, Los Bunkers, Chico Trujillo, Deftones, and Jane's addiction with the band and some people hanging from the stage. 
I even got a not so little tree as a gift, it was kind of difficult to take it home, and i'm pretty sure i punched several people on the face with it, i can´t say for sure 'cause no one yelled at me but i noticed some guys laughing anyway.

I'll leave you a video i took from Lollapalooza's youtube channel, i hope you will enjoy it.

A Beach

There's a beach I used to go every summer with my family when i was a child, it's called Pelluhue and it is on the seventh region. My grandpa has a house there, so when i say my family, i mean a lot of people 'cause my mom has 10 siblings, and it was a bit chaotic specially at night, when we had to make beds all over the floor, which i think was the best part, it was like camping inside the house and we used to throw pillows at each other and make fun until one of our parents got pissed and we had to go to sleep. 
I remember going to the river, because in the beach the water was so cold, and the waves so strong it was safer for us, little kids, not to bathe in it. Now of course, this is different, big waves call for surfers and there's even an anual contest.

A lot has changed in Pelluhue the past few years, the last time I went was before the Tsunami, so i think i wouldn't recognize much of it now, luckily for us, our grandpa's house wasn't destroyed by it, which is a real miracle considering it is about two blocks away from the ocean.
