    Jura, there is a traditional folk song named "El Corralero". In Spanish, we say it's a "tonada" (the specific kind of folk song). Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUNgEk-jUVQ It was composed by Sergio Sauvalle. It tells the story of a man who is in charge of horses in a country house and his boss asks him to kill one of them because it's old and sick. This man is in sorrow because he has taken care of it since it was born. Although the people who sing this ("Los Huasos Quincheros") are not very popular because they are related to conservative groups in Chilean government and politics, the song is so beautiful that it has became very popular. You can hear it everywhere on September, which is when we celebrate our country's independence anniversary.

    It was a book: "The Lord of The Rings". I read it for the first time when I started college. It was a tough first semester, not only for academic reasons, so I saw myself as I was making a long and difficult journey to reach a goal: to discover myself and to get the graduate degree that I had wanted.

    For those who have taken the TOEFL test: was it difficult for you?, were you nervous? Please, feel free to answer but I would appreciate to avoid sarcasm or comments which are not helpful or related to the topic.

    You should come to Chile. It offers great landscapes for tourists, as well as good options for students and professionals. A disadvantage I should mention though is that we don't speak English as a native language. In general, a few people speak a foreign language. Regards, Christian

    I would say "guanaco", which means the police truck used by policemen to throw water to people on streets during strikes or violent manifestations. So, if you are walking on a street and you see people running towards you and screaming "el guanaco!!, ahí viene!!", you better get out of the way, because it's not the Andean animal.

    For those who saw "Black Swan": What do you think it happened in the end?, Do you think Nina died?, What's your interpretation of Nina's feeling of perfection in the end? Please, feel free to discuss since it's helpful to me.

    I gathered with my relatives (parents and siblings) to have dinner together and watch the fireworks from Torre Entel, which have become a tradition for people who live in Santiago. There you meet strangers and sometimes you hug each other and wish a happy new year. Then my cousin, my sister and I went to a party in downtown which was extremely funny. They played very good music and there was free bar all night long. Happy New Year for you!
