My Presentation Blog

 Hi, it is good to meet you. My name is Amanda Corral and I study anthropology at the University of Chile, it's my first year!

I live in Santiago, Chile, since I was one year and a half. However my hometown is Barcelona, Spain.

I only live with my mom and my cat, Luna, who has been with us since I was eight years old, it's like my little sister :)  

My dad left us a few years ago to live in the south with one of my half sisters. 

Telling you a little about me, you have to know that I really love to dance, it doesn't matter wich musical genre is playing; I will dance it. But at the moment I'm falling in love with hip-hop. I don't care if I have talent or not, because I am a dreamy apprentice. 

Continuing with the artistic topic, I have also played the piano since 3rd grade. I learned that at school.

That is all for today, bye!

Hi! It's good to see you again :) The way to get in this moment, studying what I love, has been long.

Later, when I was in highschool, in my second year, I spoke for a long time with my garden teacher. He told me about anthropology, the career he studied.

Now, when I'm studying and isn't just a dream, now is the reality, I think that I'm impressed by the amount of contributions that this place can give you, so that then you explore yours capabilities to return New knowledge to the world. However is very important to me keeping doing the things that make me fiel full and happy, like ...

My favourite meal (blog post 4)

Hi, I'm going to talk you about one of my favourite meals, because I can't choose just one. The food is delicious and so varied! Well, I choose the charquicán because it's a meal that makes me remember my childhood and the enthusiasm with wich I ate that plate of food when I was little. This is a typical chilean preparation that find its birth in the sixteenth century, when the miners of the andean highland zone discovered this meal mixing vegetables and the most important ingredient, the charqui. Now, the most accepted investigation proposes that the word "charquicán" comes from the kechua, and it means jumble or stew with charqui. Is important to mention that there are many types of this males, which vary depending on the ingredients that contain. When I was little I ate meat with great pleasure, but now I'm vegetarian because of personal convictions, so now I just eat charquicán with cochayuyo, ingredient that I really like.
