Something I am reading: Smart Cities

Currently, I have readed academic articles about technology and telecommunications. There are different articles, books with many topics about technology. Now, Iwill talk about Smart Cities.
About Smart Cities, I have readed "Estrategia de Ciudad Inteligente para el Transporte Chile 2020". It is a government document.
It will talk about the plan to do smart cities in Chile. It started talking about the tendency of smart cities in the world. Then, it  explain about the definition. Smart city is an "intelligent city" where there are different technologies to improve the life quality of people. "Ministerio de Transporte y Telecomunicaciones (MTT)" of Chile want to implement technological solutions to have the best transport in Chile. It is possible if many deparments of government work together.

To convert Chile cities in smart cities, MTT will implement Intelligent Transport system (ITS) using video control system, security system, intelligent trafic light, monitoring system and others technologycal tools.

I also am reading about smart cities in other countries as UK. In UK there is  a plan to convert england cities in smart cities implementing intelligent enregy systems and water management.
Also, Spain is implementing smart cities.

Currently, I am reading about this topic beacuse  I am doing an academic documment to explain the smart cities situation in Chile, and compare this situation with other countries.

I can say that in Chile there is a smart city in Huechuraba. Currently, the government plan to convert 15 cities in smart cities.

This topic is fascinating. There are many things to talking about smart cities.

A special talent

If you ask me what is my special talent, I will said that I don't have a special talent, but my friends and my family say that I am talented with maths. I can say that this talent is not memorizing formules and replace in a problem. It is aplying the correct formules with ability. For example, when I didn't know some topics about financial maths, I found the formule and I aplyed it and I got the correct result, but I didn't memorize the formule. I remember that when I was at school, I also could resolve problems with a base formule and I got a complex formule. Then I got a solucion.

Also, when I was at high school, I could resolve some geometry problems at least 1 minut but I did it very fast and my writing was terrible so I only understood my numbers and graphics.
I consider that this ability is useful because I can aply it daily. When I was 22 years old, I used this ability to analyze and compare the interest rates and financial conditions offered by different banks because I wanted to get a loan. I didn't know about finances but I found the formules and financial concepts in internet and I aplyed those. Then I got a banking loan with a low interest rate.

My family thing that my ability is a talent. I consider that I started to develop my ability when I was a child, because I resolved many mathematical problems.

I am some lazy but when there is a challenging situation with maths, I use my ability.

A group activity

Hello everybody.

Today, I will tall about a group activity that I did when I was younger. It was going to ride bike with my brothers or my cousins.
When I lived in Peru, I remember when I was 9 years old, I started to ride bike. I can say that my first intention was failled, but I continued trying to ride bike. When I reached it, I started going to ride bike with my cousins. They are older than me, but I wanted to be more expert than their in riding bike.
I remember when  we was riding about many hours and my cousin got fatigue, and she couldn't continue. In that moment we stoped and then we returned to home on bus.

In my memory also is when I was teeneger and I taught to ride bike to my brother. I consider that he learned to ride bike faster than me. When he knew to ride bike, we did competition with his friends. It was very funny because some times there were amusing falls, but we never had an accident.

The competitions of cycling at high school  also were very funny. When I participed in a competetion at school, I remember it was exciting. Althought I didn't win it, I got fun and relax.

Personally, I prefer going to ride bike with friends or brothers. It is better than I go to ride bike along. I would like go to ride bike with my brothers and my cousins when I return to Peru.

Fiestas Patrias

I will talk about my 2014 fiestas patrias experience. It was the first time that I celebreated "fiestas patrias" in Chile and I can say it was great and very funny.

I will talk about the 19th setember, because it is was the best day lived for me in that week. Days before to Fiestas Patrias, my friends and me agreed to go to "Padre Hurtado" park located in La Reina, Santiago. for 19th september, and we bought a portable grill, meat, chicken, sausage, cola and beer for that day.

That day, we arrived at 11 hrs. to "Padre Hurtado" park and we watched a big festival when there were many stands where the people sold Chilean food, drinks, clothes and different articles  . Also, we watched the Chilean armed forces's exhibition where there was airplanes and tanks.
Then we went to a green area where there were some cabins, and we decided to stay in a cabin.

The first thing that we did was drinking cola and beer because that day was sunny and we were thirsty. When we had some hunger, some friends and me  started to grill brochettes on the barbecue.  I wanted to learn cooking brochettes because I didn't do it before in my life. I remember that we ate many brochettes and drank beer and cola.

When it was at 17 hrs. we grilled ribs and we continued eating. We were very greedy. At night, we was watching a dance show of "Cueca". To finish the night, we drank chicha.
Then my friends and me taken the underground and we went to our houses.

A song

I will talk about a song called "Invencible", which is liked for me. It is sung by Libido, a Peruvian band,

I like listening to music of Libido because they speak in their songs about the life, feelings, emotions but they are creative and sing their topics with an own rock style. 

Libido has won two MTV awards and some discs of platinum and gold. Currently, Libido is a group integrated by Salim Vera, Manolo Hidalgo, Wilder López and Juan Pablo del Águila.

"Invencible" is a song that talk about the life, when a person feels invincible but he/she is lying, that it is not only about excusing, the life is a change of attitude, the truth is the freedom. 

This song is strong but is good. I like it because its letter is true and it is combined with a good music.

I admired to Libido because they has participated in important festivals of the Americas: "Festival of New Bands" (Caracas, Venezuela), "Pepsi Music" (Buenos Aires, Argentina), "International Cusqueña Beer Festival" (Cusco, Peru) among others.

A teacher

I will talk about my teacher of Biological Sciences when I was at high school. His name was Manuel. He is a good guy because he always wants that his student getting knowledge.
When Manuel started his class, he did some jokes and he explained a topic, drawing about it in the board. He was a good artist in the drawing.

I remember that he liked talking about his experience in the life and he acted as our friend. He always was in all events and parties organized in the school and he liked dancing.
I know that Manuel continue teaching in the school when I studied and the last time that I saw him was two years ago. It is some curious, but Manuel was teacher of my middle brother when he was at high school and he is teacher of my young brother now.
I remember that my classmates and me watched videos in the class. Those videos were about some sciences topics, for example: cell structure, genetic, cloning among others. I think that those videos were some boring because sometimes they taken about two hours. When it happened, I wanted to sleep.
I can say that I learned important things about biological sciences with Manuel, although sometimes his class was bored.  Also, I consider that Manuel is a good professional.

A family meal

I will talk about a family meal I remember. It happened in january at last year in Peru. That day was the my mother's birthday.
My brothers, my grandparents, my cousins, my uncles and my aunts were in that meal.  My father also was in that day. My parents don't live together but they are good friends and they almost always are in the family meals.
We celebrated that day in a restaurant because nobody wanted cooking. The restaurant was to 5 minutes of my house.

I remember that all was ready to start at 13:00 hours. and I was working that day but I got permission to go out at 12:30. I was running from the my work to my home. My house was to 30 minutes of the office where I worked. My family was waiting for me because I am the oldest son and I had to do a toast.
In my memory is that before the meal,  I went to my house and I took a shower very fast, I believe that it was for 5 minutes.
When I arrived to a restaurant where the members of my family were gathered, everybody were ready to do a toast. It was a great moment for me. Also, I can say that the food was delicious and the music was very good.
It was a wonderful day because we had a good time.
