The Heaviest Concert

One of the best concerts that I can remember going, was the Motorhead concert in 2011. It was at the Teatro Caupolican, right here in Santiago. It was a hot day that ninth of April, the line to get inside was really long, with all these metal heads; men, women, young ones, old ones, you name it. A lot of people were selling food and beer that day, and everybody wanted to get inside. I had a ticket for the gallery of the theater, so when I got inside I inmediately went for the best spot that I could find right at the front. Soon, everybody was trying to do the same, while others were trying to see where they could climbed down to the floor level, bypassing the guards. You know, for thrill and the action of it.

After some time, and some bands that played to keep us entertained, the lights were shut down and the first song started to play, and so it began. It was just an amazing experience, with some hard heavy metal being pumped out of the speakers, while the crowd in every inch of the theater was going wild, headbanging, trashing, and singing their throats out. By the third song, my ears were pretty much done with the sound of the whole theater having the greatest time in their lives. It was also exciting knowing that the band were recording the whole event for a dvd, which was later released. I need to get a copy for myself just to see the whole thing again. It was truly an amazing experience with one of the best heavy metal bands of all times.

It`s russian time

Yes, I would like to visit Russia at some point of my natural life, the reason; they have bears and a cold winter. Do I need to say more?....Fine let`s say a little bit more for reasons beyond my control. Russia has probably one of the most interesting history, literature and language of the world in my own personal opinion. These three things are what really fascinates me when I think about a country different from my own. The winter actually helps my desicion to visit, due to the fact that I hate with my soul the hotter temperatures, which actually can make me feel sick if it is too hot. Forget about tropical paradises or romantic cities, I want to build a bear out of snow. 

Most of the things that I know about Rusia are some historical facts and important figures like Catherine the Great, Ivan the Terrible, and of course the soviet leaders of the XX century. The culture is a big mistery honestly, but in their literature is where I get some insights of what could have been old Russia with the books of Fedor Dostoievski, I love his short novels. Although I always forget the name of the one where a man is eaten by a crocodile but somehow manages to live inside of the beast. It`s just hilarious. 

Maybe going there in a study trip or just visiting like a regular tourist, could be enough to learn more about this country and enjoy myself with a cold winter in the middle of the Red Square in Moscow. But I will not drink vodka. I don`t want to enforce the stereotype about Russians and vodka....ok, maybe a small glass. What`s the worse it could happen?
