Blog Session 3: "A country I´d like to visit"

A country I´d like to visit

The country I´d like to visit the most is Cambodia, in the Southeast of Asia. The reason why I want so much to know this country is that at school I had a very old Teacher, that has traveled his whole life around almost the whole world, ones told us (the class) that the most wonderfull trip he had ever made was when he traveled to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. About the last of them, he told it was the most beautifull place he had ever seen. And he has seen a lot of countries!

Besides, for me is a very interesting country to visit, because I´ve never been in Asia and I don´t know much about it, so if I go, I would learn a lot of new things. What I know about Cambodia is that they have a monarchy, so their most important authority is a king. I was also told that spiritualism is very important for the people there.

The fact that Cambodia is so different from the contry I live in, makes me think that, if I go there, I would like to meet a lot of people to learn a lot about their culture. Another thing I would do would be visit al the natural beauties and the temples they have.





I was also told that the living conditions aren´t very good, so I probably wouldn´t want to stay, unless I would fall in love with the country. Who knows, maybe some day I go there and stay for ever.

Blog session 2: My ideal job

My ideal job

I don´t know if you know Anthony Bourdain, or Andrew Zimmern. They are both chefs, but they don´t work in a kitchen cooking for other people, the only thing they do is eating! And they get paid for that! They travel around the world and eat all kind of things, from the most common plate, like pizza, to roasted insects or strange animal parts. That can sound auwfull but for me it is always exciting to try a new plate.


Well, my ideal job goes in that direction, because I like to travel a lot (whenever I have the chance I do it) and most of all I like very much to eat! I also like sociology (that´s why I study this career) so really, my ideal job would be something like what this two men do, but adding a study of the culture or the society I´m visiting.

I would say the three most important qualities or skills needed for a job like this are: love for food, sociable skills (you meet a lot of people when you travel) and to be brave (to try the plates that doesn´t look that good). You also need to know lenguages.

I definitely love food, and to socialize with other people and I like a lot to study lenguages, therefore I would be a good candidate for a job like this. But the hard part is that (I think) it´s awfully hard to find a job like this!
