Chile's Bicentenary

This year has been really hard to our country because we started with the biggest earthquake that we have ever heard. The thing is that we had to support to all of our people here helping them with a lot of ways, we made a telethon to collect money to some food, clothes, bed-clothes, mattresses, and money to build new houses to the people that need it. But that shock was awful because we lost a lot of material things and also we were really scared before and after the movement. And that event was one of the most important events, months later we had to support to our football team because of the world cup ! we didn’t win but we enjoyed it very much because we won 2 of 3 games and we really dreamed with that cup, that was great ! Another breaking new that shocked to our people was the accident that 33 miners had in a mine, they have been there waiting for rescue during around 1 month… at first we thought that they were died but they weren’t! they survived with stronger and faith and we were so proud about the strength of our compatriots! But all of this is about our hard year and now in September we have to celebrate our country birthday! We usually meet with our families and enjoy meal with salads or different kind of foods too. But eating is not everything to us of course, we try to go to places called “fondas” they are a kind of place where people goes to eat something or drink something and play typical games. But the wrong part of this date is that many people drives crazy with all of that I mean they drink more than they should do it, or drink more and they get fat and everything turnaround in a bad way. On september 18 accidents are a lot and many people die because of the drink. That’s one of the bad things in this month but by the way we try to enjoy it with family and friends and this bicentenary will not the exception!
