My last vacations

My last vacations were in Calgary :) so, I think is better to talk about my last last vacations. I like to travel,unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time to travel because I was studying and after I was working, however I looked to get time to have vacations.
In September, last year ago I went to occident of my country. I spent two weeks visited three states, Queretaro, Guanajuato and Jalisco.
My trip was in car, with my French friend and my girlfriend, first we went to Queretaro this city was about 1 hour and half to Mexico City it is a beautiful and colonial place. We spent 2 days there we visited the cathedral, the aqueduct and the Pena del Bernal.
After we went to San Miguel de Allende, this is a small typical and colonial City, in this city is originated my family. We stayed in September, in the Festival of this City. The festival is amazing, in the night, front of the Cathedral the people of the City fire lots firework, at 4:00 AM until 6:00 AM, it is exciting. While the festival end, we went to Guanajuato The capitol city from Guanajuato state, this city was once of principal cities of independence of Mexico. This city has a lot of Beautiful buildings, The Alhondiga de Granaditas, The Teatro Juarez and The Universidad of Guanajuato,there it is the famous and weird mommy museum. In fact the city is really beautiful, because it have small and colonial streets; it is my favourite city in Mexico.
After we went to Guadalajara, in this city we Drunk Tequila and heard Mariachi music, typical Mexican music, we visit the downtown it is beautiful, then we stayed in a virgin beaches around the cost of Jalisco. These beaches are quiet and there are perfect for a time relaxing, finally we went to Puerto Vallarta an famous beach of Mexico.
Finally we returned to Mexico City, we drove about 9 hours of Puerto Vallarta to Mexico City, it was tiring.

My favorite movies

I enjoy watching movies; my favorite movies are any kind: comedy, science fiction, thriller and suspense. However the movie must have an original, intense, violence and unhappy end, although I enjoy simple-mind movies like romantic, cartoon and art.
My favorite movies are Star Wars, Tarantino's movies (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Hostel and Kill Bill) and many Mexican movies among others. The last Tarantino's movie that I watched was Kill Bill and I really enjoyed it. I like the way of Tarantino mix the western genre with martial arts.
Kill Bill has two separate volumes. In the first part the protagonist Uma Thurman (who is called the bride in the story) emerges from a comma after four years and swears revenge on the assassination team that betrayed her, a team she was once part of. At this time you don't know what the reasons why she wants revenge are and what happened with the baby that she carried before entering the comma, I was very intrigue and I couldn't miss the second part. In the second volume she kills the other members of the squad and she finds Bill. The end of the movie showing the flashback of the Bride's past and you can understand the reasons of her angry. Finally the movie has a happy end. I would like to recommend this movie because is a different plot and the soundtrack is exciting. If you watched it please tell me your opinion.

Biotechnology

I used to be a good student (I think); I studied for five years to be a Biotechnology engineer. I like sciences and I decide to be a Biotechnologist because it area astonish me all the time.
Biotechnology is a new science, the develop of this area was after Watson and Crick discovered the double chain of DNA in 1953, after that Scientifics started the studies of micro-organism as a manufacturer of valuable products, its process are most efficient, faster and cheaper than chemical and traditional process .
Biotechnology allows you to get new and better products and is possible to development or improves products like antibiotics, vaccines, foodstuff and medicines.
Nowadays most of pharmaceutical companies use Biotechnology process to manufacture their products, human insulin is a good instance of the progress to the production with Biotechnology techniques. Insulin was usually obtained with pork’s pancreas but the process was difficult and expensive, now the production is reaching trough micro organism becoming easy and efficient.
The biggest advance in Biotechnology in my opinion is cloning.
Cloning is the action to make one or more genetically, identical and individuals cells. Most of people suppose that cloning is bad and dangerous and they are afraid about these new technologies. Personally I think that this people don’t have the correct information. I believe that cloning is valuable in many areas, for example in develop of organs and tissue regeneration. At the present time humans have big troubles with essential organs like lung, liver, kidney, hearth and skin and institutes of organ donations cannot cover the require of these. In the future with cloning techniques would be possible to regenerate your own organs trough your own cells and it doesn’t have anything related with super humans or organ manipulation. Anyway, as you see I really enjoy talking about Biotechnology; hopefully this blog won’t boring for you, sorry if I wrote a lot.

SPORTS

It is my third blog and I decided to write about sports, one of my favourites topics!
In the time that I have lived in Calgary I note that here most people practice sports at least more people than in my country, I believe that it is because the weather. In Calgary you cannot practice the same sports all the year at least not outside, and for me it is very interesting, I really like winter sports even I am not very good, unfortunately for me I can’t go frequently to practice winter sports because I don’t have the equipment and rent it is expensive, however I am try to do all the time that I can.
I am a sportsman, I really enjoy practicing sports, and my favourites are: soccer box, baseball, squash, front tennis and football. In my country I used to play soccer every Sunday and squash every Saturday, last year I played fastball in a team of my last job.
I am feeling very happy when I play soccer but in Canada I cannot play soccer because of weather, hopefully during the summer I will play, I miss to play in field.
Luckily for me I can play indoor soccer in the U of C, I was very excited when I knew that every Wednesday some students play in informal teams in the Kinesiology complex and I was very happy when I saw that they are a lot of internationals students I played with some Koreans, Brazilians, Canadian and Arabians its amazing!.
Another thing that is really nice in the U of C about sports is the squash courts, they are very clean and they are a lot so I can play whenever I want!! If you know about somebody interested in play with me just tell me!!
Finally I just want to tell that in Calgary play sports is not difficult just you need to find the correct place to do.
