Second entry: Something about Transantiago

For this second entry I must give my opinion about the Transantiago system but, the problem is, I don't have one. Before the whole ordeal began I lived in Temuco and never really used the bus on the one occasion I came to Santiago, and even today I mostly use the subway and haven't had any trouble at all the couple of times I've used the bus. So I guess Transantiago's o.k.
I can't really compare Transantiago to the previous system because, as I said, I never even used it, but I think I can manage: Everyone complains that Transantiago sucks, but since I find it to be pretty good I guess the previous system must have been perfect to make the current one look so bad in comparision. So I guess the government screwed that one up.
Ok, next question... I've got to compare my experiences when Transantiago started to how I use it now. Well, I never used the system before "now", but I remember being on the beach over at Villarrica and watching the whole thing on the news, and I love that beach so if I had to I would say that my experience when Transantiago started was much better than my current situation.
As to what I would change to make the system more efficient? I would make it free of charge so I wouldn't have to pay. But, of course, the system needs to be mantained somehow so I guess everyone else should pay even more for the tickets in order to compensate.

First entry

FIRST ENTRY: A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT.

First, a clarification: I messed up the blog title. Sorry about that.
Anyway a country I would like to visit (again) is Germany. A couple of years ago (specifically december '07 through february '08) I was there on an exchange program with my school and had a great time. I lived in Berlin and had lots of fun making friends, visiting historical sites (such as the Reichstag or the Berlin Wall museum at Checkpoint Charlie), going to parties and skipping school. There's lots of places I didn't get to see, though (such as a couple of cities I which I had spent more time at, such as Munich and Heidelberg, or the Egyptian museum at Berlin) so it would be great if I could go back. Besides, I could once again see the friends I met there.
I know lots of Germany because my grand-grand-grandparents are from there and I went to the German school when I was younger, where I learned about German culture and language (and I learnt more the first time I went to the country itself). I would also love to study there, since one of the best law universities in the world is in Germany as well (located in Heidelberg).
So, long story short since I'm running out of space, I'd love to go back to Germany because I love the culture, the German landscape and cities, and, above all, the German girls and beer.
