Utaku Zone Fanzine

Hey guys, how's it going

so, the guys from "translations & betrayals" with simon and diego vallejos did for the end of this semester a fanzine, it's about Otaku and Anime culture, they did a great work have a read.

im not the biggest fan of anime myself, but I really quite enjoyed this!, this fanzine is so well written and it's really atractive to read (the colours and images and composition is lovely). I now may have some notions about what this whole world is like, and I dont know, maybe I'll go online and watch something (it's said there is at least one show you'll like so why not eh?).

the cfgTranslations and Betrayals is going to be about music and pop culture this next semester, and im really exited about that.

bye guys have anice week!

A Classmate's Blog

Hey mates!

this week i have to review a classmates blog.

It'll be about Yun's, blog one of my classmates in english in Fau and the person below me on Simon's list. He has written 10 blogs during the year and they are really quite intresting, but, i just loved this one because it's about food and im hungry, in short you'll be hungry too. Yun's Blog has a nice and simple design that i really like and it's FULL of pictures, i love it.

The name is Sam Gyeop Sal, My favorite Korean Dish, it has around 255 words and  its about lovely korean food.

Sam Gyeop Sal, My favorite Korean dish.

I will write about my favorite food. I love to eat Korean Food, obviously being Korean, i already customized(WW) to eat them (WW). Like(WE) 7 years ago, government of Korea had a(WW) slogan ¨Globalization Korean Food" and already used about SEVENTY MILLON(SM) (oh what a stupidest[WW] thing) for marketing and another foolish things.(P) obviously the result was NOTHING. I really can't understand this government. Stupid politician.

However, the most favorite(WE) Korean i like is a Sam Gyeop Sal, which dish looks like(NN) very similar to Barbeque. it's piece(WW) of Pork on grill cooking instantly(WE), you can(SM) it with many kind of vegetables like lettuce, sesame leaf accompanied by soy sauces and chili sauces.

to take(WW) this dish, i go to the restaurant which name is "Sukine" in Patronato. that is famous Korean restaurant in Chile. there's(WW) are many Chilean peoples and Chienese(Sp) peoples(WW), almost are just a bit of Koreans(WE). i recommens(Sp) you guys to go there and taste some Korean dishes. Bul Go Gi and Bi Bim Bap are good dishes too, they are looks like(NN) very strange at first look.(p) but taste very good.

i love Sam Gyop Sal dish, because i like to eat every kind of meats on a grill(WE). As i as(NN) fall in love when ate Argentine Asado. how amazing memories jaja.

Wonderfull Turkey

Hey Guys, today i'd like to talk about a country that i'd totally love to visit, this country is Turkey, let me tell you why:

Instanbul Bosphorus Cruise

Instanbul, Mosque

Classic Turkish Delight, Baclava and Turkish Coffe (this is heaven)

Turksih Food

Capadocia

Do i need to say more?, well turkey is a beautifull country, so many and diverse things to do and see, like instanbul and ankara markets or the beaches in the aegian coast, or if you fancy a drink in a hot air ballon flying above the a stone-carved city beetween the mountains, there you go, turkey. I have never been to this country but i'd absolutely love to, i've met turkish people while i was on my exchange program in Belgium mostly grandson's of inmigrants o the charcoal era. Besides everything to see, and the activities, there is th e Piece de Resistance: Turkish food, i've been in heaven everytime i tried any kind of turkish food like kebaps or durums or more real turkish food like sarma or those dishes of goat meat and yogurth (it's better than it sounds) or oh my god, the sweets, there is no comparison to real baclava and a good coffe, nothing is better than that.

I'd like to go best with friends but going alone is not a problem either, i have couple friends living in instanbul and ankara, if i go there it's a must for me to go see them (and problably sleep at their places because i'd be poor anyway and wont pay an hotel)


Have a nice week guys, <3 much love for you all.

De volgende halte is Antwerpen Centraal

 Heyyy guys, what's up. So Today i'm going to talk about architecture (surprise), this time, a building that I like, so, have a look.

This is Antwerp Cenrtaal Station (Antwerp central station). this is the main railway station in the city of antwerp, and the most important in the region of flandres, Also part of the European west railway line Amsterdam Rotterdam Antwerp Bruxelles Paris by Thalys. Built between 1895 and 1905 and commisioned by the National Railway Company of Belgium and the King of belgium in order to replace the original terminus station of the brussels, mechelen, antwerp railway.

I do love this, place, as you may know by now, I lived in Belgium in a city near to antwerp, for me beeing here was the start of a travel, beeing the only big city on the railway line that crossed my little town called Beringen, this place is awesome, it's beautifull, is modern, and a fantastic place to sleep when you missed your last train!. The station is only 10 minutes away walking from the bay of antwerp and the walk from the station to the cathedral is really but really beautifull.

I first heard of this place because a british magazine (Mashable) ranked this station as the Most beautifull railway station in the world in 2014. Antwerpen Centraal station does not really blend with the sorrounding beacause it is so weird so eclectical but it makes a lovely atmosfere in the places nearby, there is always artistic interventions or cultural things happening in and out the station. This place is a lot more than a station and the locals feel it, it is an important landmark for the city.

That's it for today guys.
bye bye.

Music is life, music is love.

Iya! fellow faublogglers



 There are moments in the life of every person that you perceive something, and you say, *yes, i like that*, those are quite important moments in life I would say, after all the things we like shapes us in certain ways, or they "help" to create/make an identity or whatever (maybe a topic for another blog).

 So, for today I'm gonna share with you something that has been quite important in my life, something I truly love in many ways: Music.

But for today and to not bore you my lovely reader, I'm going to share with you an album that made me wow, and also made me hear english for the first time ( aside of Pulse by Pink Floyd) still does. we may like lots and lots and lots of music, I do certainly, but for me, this is the greatest piece of all times.

Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band By Beatles is definitevly my fauvorite album, okay, I must say that maybe is not an album that im listening at all times these days, no... but this album has always been there for me to listen again, and again, and not get bored, and find new things that i had not heard before in the million times I listened it, I probably listened it for the first time when i was a baby (thanks dad) but then i took it myself when i was let's say 14 years old when I was starting to pick up the guitar and play a bit. It's an amazing piece of art for the way it mixes sorts of music, rythms, styles weird noises, cool lyrics, and drugs culture in a breathtaking manner. AND it was released in 1967 beeing new amazig and exciting back then, and beeing amazing and exiting nowadays.

If i have to pick a song as a favorite of the album it's quite a difficult task, because the album works so well as a composicion itself. But If i had tom this would be the song, A Day In Life, a great song, beautifull lyrics and much more, take a listen

And fellas, that's it for today!; please write something down below about the music you like, and/or if you like beatles like I do tell me wich of them four is your favorite one

tip: Paul is the best one.

bye bye

A Weird Hug

Hey fau Bloggers!

well, have a look at this picture.

Yes i know, hugging people like a koala may not seem like the most normal thing, but when you really love a peron, that friend of you that knows EVERYTHING about you, the friend that you have spent some of the greatest time of your life with, well, then you got to hug like a koala.

This picture was taken on september 2015, in Pichilemu Beach, a lovely small town with great places to eat a -not so nice but OK beach- and a lot of surf related people. so i know you're asking yourself something, Whos is she? well, She is Joaquina.

So, as you my beautifull readers may or may not know, I was an Exchange Student during the period from august 2014 till july 2015, in Vlaanderen, Belgium (I might post some something realted to this year of my life in the future [; ), Well, I met Her my first day in Belgium, she beeing also an exchanger, a beautifull girl coming from argentina,that lived in my region (limburg), that spoke perfect english and did also like 1975 just like me, we went to their concert in Bruxelles  togheter, we knew we were going to be best friends since.

With her I spent long days and nights travelling, having coffe, just doing nothing, maybe partying... just maybe (; ,beeing this year of my life full of awesome memories, i have to say that most of them are with her. But!! nothing last forever right? (specially an exchange year) and it was time to say goodbye to all the friends you made, and the life you had and the people and everything. Everybody went back to their home countries, sad thing, But hey!, she was (and still is) just couple mountains to the east so, why not meeting again?

That's what this foto is about, the exact moment when we met after that heart breaking goodbye at Brussel's airpor. the foto was taken by her parents, great people tho,I remember that day with special love we had a really nice meal at some fancy reastaurant called "la loba" and had a look around the city. she stayed for a week in Chile and im sure she liked it!.

Now it's my time, and Buenos Aires is waiting for me this Juny.

Besides everything, it's also quite a nice picture. that blue.

Salukes!
