Well, my name is Ricardo Paulsen. I was born in Santiago de Chile; here in my country our culture is like any other western culture on the world. I think that the culture I grew up is very good and I’d like living it every day.
My family is quite normal; I live with my parents and my brother. My father has worked in a security company for as long as I remember. My mother is a housewife; my parents got married when they were twenty-two years old. My brother is called Juan Pablo, he is studying at the high school, and he’s 15 years old.
Well, What do I like to do in my free time? I like travel; every year I save all money I can. When I have enough money I always draw up my holidays with someone else. Last summer I took my bag and I went to Mendoza city, in Argentina. From this city I was visiting every cities I could. Three weeks later I got to Bolivia, I was in “La Quiaca” one day and then I went to La Paz city.
I finished high school when I was 18, then I got in to the college. I decided to study geography because I have a special interest about the urban problems.

blogger experience
What I liked?
The blog activity has been very interesting. I’ve never made an activity like this in others English lessons. By the way I remember about my school time, the most of us had English lessons since “kinder garden” and almost everybody didn’t know very much about English. Really, it is so incredible to think that we studied English about thirteen year in the school and a lot of us could not keep a simple conversation before to take the Simon’s English lessons. Go back to the question, I liked to have the opportunity of read my classmates’ post and see what they have written. So, the blog gives us the opportunity of communicate us each other, this must be exploited because add this new tecnologies is very important to get new knowledge.
What I didn’t like?
I didn’t like the George lessons, not by George but what we had to do in this lesson. In my opinion, we’ve got to practice conversations between us. We need somebody who take us and make us talk each other. I think that in the next semester we should put special attention in practice conversations, this we could do it with videos and practicing dialogues.
What helped me learn English?
A lot of thing, but the most important thing to me was the Monday’s lessons because we had the opportunity of listen to Simon. As I said earlier in another post we should practice conversation because if we are be able to keep a conversation we will be able to take control when we want to say some idea.
The post that I liked least…
I think there was not a post that I liked least; each post had a something funny. But if I’d have to choose I’d choose “Why, Why, Why”, because was the funniest and this post gave us the opportunity to know each other.
Which is the best blog in the class?
Really, I don’t know which the best blog is, but I know that my classmates gave the best of them doing their blogs. If I’d have to choose I’d choose my blog, because I think that is the most interesting and complete.

WWWHHHYYY???
Why are you studying Geography? / Why did you decide to study Geography?
Before entering to the college I didn’t know very much what I wanted to study, when I was an adolescent we were always made the same question along time until I left the high school. The last year in the high school was terrible, because we always had somebody who was saying us what we had to do. I had good classmates in this time. I also remember that I belonged to special group called the “chichas team", that it is like say a “drinkers team”. Well, what was the question? Why am I studying geography? I am studying geography mostly because I think that the territorial problems are very interesting and the normal people don’t know very much about this. I like the urban problems, too, I love the city and its ways to live it, if I’ve got a great dream, undoubtedly is to know everyone cities around the world.
What will you be doing (professionally) in 10 years time?
This is the hardest question that anyone has made me. Really I don’t know it very clearly, but I’ see me travelling around the world, I have always thought that the best geographer is the one who knows more, it is by I want to know everything I can. So, I think that in teen years I am going to be working outside the country, I don’t know where but it doesn’t matter of any way, because the important is be “outside”, knowing…
How can geographers help save the planet?
This is a children question. Who do want to save the world? We are not superheroes and I won’t try to be one of them. We live in a neoliberal world and everyone have their business, every person takes care about his problems. If we want to save the world, we must be able to change the way the people think, we must build a collective conscience that protect us of the human evil.
What tools will the geographer of the future need to have?
First, we need to learn English very well, if you can’t understand anything about English and you want to go outside the continent; you are dead because you won’t be able to talk with anybody.
Other important tool are the GIS, if you aren’t able to take a computer and use software like ArcGIS or Erdas, you are a dead man, too. Both things are linked very strong and if you cannot drive you remained in the past.
What is your favourite subject?
I think that my favourite subject is the urbanism because as I said earlier I love the city. In relation to urbanism I could say that my favourite subject is the gentrification process. This urban process began in England, specifically in London city. In Chile this urban process has begun slowly to appear on the urban spaces of our cities, getting an important increase since 80’s until now.

Correction "Francisco Podlech"
I would meet the actress Kate Beckinsale, because she is very very beautiful, she is lovely, and her face is truly angelic.
About her talent for acting, I have to say that it is very good, I have seen all her movies, and movie the most like it is the “click”, where acting witch Adam Samdler, this is a great actor and have much movies very funny, also is film director, and is considered once the best in the genre of humor.
Kate Beckinsale has 34 years old, she was born in
I would talk with her about her lives, her works, and her friends. I like know about she is a normal people or it feel like a big star. I would like to invite her to take a frost to talk.

Favourite English Song
"martes 8 de abril de 2008 Favourite English Song"
In my life, I've had a lots of favorite songs, when I was a child I listened “the guns and roses”, in that time, I liked “sweet child o'mine” and I always sang it in everywhere. Now, certainly my favorite band is coldplay now, I don’t know why I love this band so much, but I know that their songs are great. My favorite song at the moment is not one, but if I’ve got to choice, my favorite song is Warning Sign. Really, I don’t know when I heard this song for first time, I think that could be two or three years ago.
A Warning Sign
A warning sign
I missed the good part then I realized
That I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in, I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
A warning sign
You came back to haunt me and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in, I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
And the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go
So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
