Favorite Books

Hi to everyone, this week's topic is about favorite books and authors, so I'm going to start saying about the first book I read, or at least the first one that I remember reading, and it's Hernan del Solar's "La Porota" when I was about 7 or 8 years old but I ceratinly don't remember the exact time. I was an avid fan of that book for very long time.
But the book that really made me love reading was Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone, I was 10 years old when my dad bought it for my brother but I was the one that endep up reading and I became a total fan of the whole series and I am still one. I have read that book like eleven times since then.
If I would have to choose a specific gender that I prefer reading in books it would be definitely mystery, horror and thriller but I have enjoyed books of all kinds. Although fantasy is not of my favorite genders, I could say the Harry Potter series are muy favorite books because I kind of have an emotional connection to them, like I said the first one motivated me to read more and it have been present in almost the enterity of my life so I could say that I grew through the years reading those.
Because I prefer mystery and thriller one of my favorite authors, if not my favorite, is Stephen King. I simply love his books because they make me feel like I am the one experiencing all the fear and uncertainty of the characters, his stories really get me scared sometimes.
At this moment unfortunately I'm not reading anything because I need to focus on university and reading another thing that is not for my career can really distract me.
That was all for this week. Have a nice day!

Bariloche and family

Hey everyone, today I'm going to talk about the best holiday I had that was when I went to Bariloche, very long time ago in 2002. I was about six years old by that time.
I have family in there (uncle, aunt and cousins) so my family here decided to go after a long time but it was like my first time because I didn't remember previous trips when I was just a baby.
We stayed 2 weeks and I went with my dad, mom, brother, my another uncle, aunt and cousins and it was just really entertaining and memorable because I did a lot of funny things and played with my brother and cousins.
We visited the famous chocolate shop and buyed lots of chocolate, enjoyed a walk around the city and went to El Bolson which is a place near Bariloche that had a mountain and waterfalls and took many pictures above the rocks. All the nature there was really a beautiful thing to see and I still remember that I liked it very much.
Apart from that my uncles did barbecue in the night, my older cousin from Chile played songs with his guitar and everyone danced and had a great time together. It makes me very happy when I get to see again the pictures from that time because almost everything was nice and fun.
These holidays were simply the best for me for the time I spend with all my family because we don't meet as much as it was before so I have a very happy memory from this.

A country I'd like to visit

f I were to choose one country that I would like to visit, I'd definitely choose Japan. Japanese culture is so much different to ours that is very intriguing and I always felt curious about learning their traditions and wanted to see at least once their way of living that is so particular; like they are very polite and clean people, have exotic food, their ancient arquitecture is really, really beautiful and of course has also great sceneries that I would like to see and visit.
If I were in Japan the first thing I would do is eating new types of dishes, I would really like to see "sakura trees" like the ones on the pictures and do a picnic under one of them too. I'd visit japanese festivals and wear a yukata, is one of the things I'm most curious about.
Japan is a country that has many beautiful things but I definitely wouldn't want to live, study or work there because I think I coudn't get used to a culture so different from mine, and I like where I live so I don't think I could leave Chile and go to live in another country. Just visiting is fine for me.
