Well, it’s something that can’t be ignored: social networks are so entertaining that they often consume people's lives. I have mixed opinions about social networks. A part of me hates them. I find them strange (truly, the people are strange…) I hate that people expose their lives so easily in them. For example, I always find on facebook the time a person got up, what breakfast he had, the friends he called, the places he visited, the clothes he wore, etc. And even worse is instagram.

Perhaps one or two semesters. The first reason why I want to live there, is because I want to study music. Some time ago, I didn’t like the Mexican musicians. Truly, I hadn’t the provision to hear Mexican music…. Through the years (and the partys…) I began to hear “Corridos Mexicanos”. In this way, I started to get to know Antonio Aguilar, José Alfredo Jiménez, Vicente Fernández, and the great Chavela Vargas. I thinked “Wow!...one more time the life showed me I made a big mistake: before, I laughed at these songs; now, I really appreciate the voices of the singers, and their musical quality. At this moment, all was in order. But I really loved the Mexican music when I heard these two monsters of world music: Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel hahahahahaha. I know that people make critics about these artists, but...
