An amazing french film to enjoy and learn



An amazing french film



        Can you imagine how is the live of a wealthy paraplegic man?  The Intouchables is a great french film and is my favourite film too.  This film shows the two faces of the coin. Philipe, one of the two protagonist, is a rich man who lives in a mansion; he can have all that he wants except for his health because he is paraplegic and he only can move his head.  On the other hand, Driss, the other protagonist, is a healthy and happy man; he grow in the streets but he has not money. In contrast to Philipe, Driss is an open mind guy; he accept the life as is,  and he lives and enjoy every moment in his life.  This film show us how these guys make a great friendship and how every person learn to the other.  In addition, it's a funny film. One in particular is when Driss convinces Philipe to get a girlfriend. and how Driss change Philipe's mind. I recommend watch this film. I sure you can learn something for your live.

The Beautiful Tayrona Park

     If sometime you visit Colombia, please go to Tayrona Park and then you can say, " I was in Colombia." Tayrona is a lovely place where the mountains and the sea meet.  Some activities you can do are: hiking for the road that our ancestors walked, sleeping outdoor and see the sky and the stars, swimming in the warm water of the Caribbean Sea or  enjoying the view.  Colombia has not seasons, so you can go to Tayrona when you want; however, I don not recommend to go in December, January or April; this months a lot of people go to Tayrona.   This place is a natural reservation, so you have to get a special  permission from local government to entry into the park; you also must to take the malaria vaccine. There is just one hotel but you can camping. People are kind and you can meet people from different countries because of Tayrona Park is popular and many tourists want to go there.  You also can meet our Tayrona Indians; sometimes they down form the mountain and walk over the Tayrona beaches, wearing their special clothes and speak their own dialect. Many people think that this place is magic and charming. Take a relax time in Colombia, in our Tayrona Park.

Languages

 Learning with Languages




       Based on my own experience here in Calgary, learning English,  I want to tell you that knowing a language is  like open a new door to know other cultures and others minds. I want to learn  some Asiatic language. I think, Japanese can be a good choice. Japanese culture is amazing and in many ways is opposite to my culture. I am curious about their behaviour, their proverbs and their history. I can not imagine all knowledge that is in Japanese books. I think every person in the word is unique, and you can learn of each one; but you need to know how to communicate with. 

                                                 

  Money and More.


       How do you use your money if you were a rich person?.  My first investment will be to give more education to the others. I am going to  begin with  English and Cultural Literacy.  I think if people is more educated and know other point of views, they can be better humans.  Also, we plan to invest in educate people in how to use the technology to collaborate and co-create with others. My second investment will be to travel with all my family. I have one sister, one brother, my mom, two daughters, thirteen uncles, fourteen ants and a lot of cousins, so I need much money because my family and I will be  six months in every country that we visit. I want to be a rich women!

Is Calgary a Safe City?



        
    
     Everyday when I am going to my work in the morning, I need to feel  I'm safe. I check my car's windows and doors are closed and  nothing is over the sits.  I check my back pack is on the roof's car behind my legs.  While I'm driving, I'm alert, because someone can break a glass'car  and put a knife in my neck and shout me, "Give me your cellphone and your money."  This is an usual scene in the city that I live.   When I think in Calgary I think in safety. Calgary is a clean city and the people are so kindly. Despite there are some terrible crimes in Calgary,  it's not  comparable with others in the world.  I hope people that live here can appreciate this.
