Once again, I want to excuse me for post this article late. I really have a lot of problems with my conection, and I must to make a lot of things about my university. That things make me stay until late at night to study and writing lots of summaries about them.
I promised you last time I would talk about Santiago, the city where I live. Santiago has a population of 6 millions people, a really limited amount, if we compare it with other Latinamerican cities. Mexico City, for example, has 20 millions people; Buenos Aires, over 18 millions; Rio de Janeiro, 17 millions. In fact, Santiago is a relative small city inside our region.
But that's just a detail. Even with a low population, Santiago looks like a modern city anyways. It counts with a lot of publice services, like hospitals, schools, universities, very nice places to live, etc. One of them, the University Neighbourghood (Barrio Universitario, in spanish), it's a really quiet place, and I can say this because I used to live here, but two years ago, I moved to Estacion Central, a western zone of Santiago.
But what I love more about Santiago is the entertainment. Yes, I really enjoy a good film, inside a cool cinema, having a good time alone or with someone. And I like a house party like a night of cinema. Of course, and if I have enough money, I really LOVE to go an entire day to the Fantasilandia Park. I can imagine all the fun I can get on the rollercoasters. But if I can't go out, I like to stay in home, on my way, listening music or seeing something on TV.
Culture's not a strange in Santiago. There are some good museums around the city. The best of them is the Mirador Interactive Museum (MIM), where you can do anything inside the museum, and the only rule is: "Forbidden No Touch". I want to go again soon.

What About Chile
First of all,I want to say I'm really sorry for blog's delay. Originally, I had in mind to upload it two weeks ago, but certain technical failures just don't allow me did that until yesterday. I'm sorry about that, but that's something very common.
Yesterday, I told you I'm from Santiago, Chile's Capital city. If you don't know nothing about Chile, don't worry, I'm going to introduce you some nice tips about my beautiful country. Chile is a very nice Southamerican country. It borders on with Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, three really nice places after all. Chile's Capital city, as you know, is Santiago, but it isn't the only Chilean city. There are lots of towns and cities across Chile. Valparaiso is one of them, it's a nice city and port and it's the Capital City of the Fifth Region of Valparaíso.
In fact, Chile is divided in 15 regions. From North to South, they are: The Fiveteenth Arica And Parinacota Region (recently added, Capital: Arica), The First Tarapacá Region (Capital: Iquique), The Second Antofagasta Region (capital of the same name), The Third Atacama Region (Capital: Copiapó), The Forth Coquimbo Region (Capital: La Serena), The Fifth Valparaíso Region (capital of the same name), The Metropolitan Santiago Region (Capital: Santiago, the Capital of Chile), The Sixth O'Higgins Region (Capital: Rancagua), The Seventh Maule Region (Capital: Talca), The Eighth Ñuble Region (Capital: Concepción, the second most important city of Chile), The Ninth Araucanía Region (Capital: Temuco), The Fourteenth Los Ríos Region (recently added too, Capital: Valdivia), The Tenth Los Lagos Region (Capitol: Puerto Montt), The Eleventh Aisen Region (Capital: Coyhaique), and The Twelfth Magallanes Region (Capital: Punta Arenas).
I really love all the cities of Chile but, even with all the pros of all of them, I really LOVE to live in Santiago, not just because it's the capital city. I like Santiago because you can find almost everything on his streets. Museums, malls, universities, cinemas, entertainment. I really want to stay in Santiago. And I'm going to talk to you about this wonderful city tomorrow. See you.

Hello There!
Hi! Welcome to my english blog, this is my first blog and I'm so excited to share some comments with you!
Well, first of all let me introduce you. My name's Roberto Casanova Valdebenito, I'm 18 years old. I'm from Santiago de Chile, and I'm studying Public Management in the University of Chile. I really like to study and to meet new people, and in my class are lots of good guys and girls, so I'm more than enthusiast in this new part of my life.
I like to talk to other people. I mean, I LIKE IT. Why? Well, because it's part of mine. I really like to communicate wiht lots of people but, sometimes, it's hard to me, because I'm a bit shy too. Anyways, you can meet me and you will meet with a good guy like me. My friends think I'm a nice, easy-going and reliable person. And they know I think good of them too.
So, this is my site, and we could share news, curious things, some funny quick stories or just to talk... i mean, read and comment what do you think about my blog. Invitation is Done.
