  Not to be disliked, but the course I have enjoyed the most is English. It has not been the easiest, but I think it is the one in which I have learned the most. When I first entered to University I did not have required English. That's when I realized that my level was very low. This second time my biggest fear was the "mandatory English".  For 10 years I tried to learn on my own by watching series and translating songs.

Understanding present and past cultural diversity helps us to promote tolerance towards migrant populations. After all, the planet was populated by the constant movement of people.

That National Park is beautiful, and an indisputable destination for trekking lovers. We traveled in the summer of 2014. We did the route called "O" which rus through the entire park, and this place is the most impressive. Also, it´isnt as crowed as other sectors. The big mountains, the ancient trees, glaciers, rivers and snow The remind me that nature is our mother and that the human is one more element of the nature.  This place means a lot to me, because I prepared to go. I did sports, I bought technical clothes and we organized the backpack very well. We walks between 15 and 20 km per day.  So you have to be very organized so as not to carry so much weight. Anyway, one can buy eat or rent tents or a bed, even pay someone to carry your things, but is very expensive. At that time buying an egg cost $500 and a beer (3
