An artist with a vision: Banksy

The last Monday, a mysterious girl walked into the classroom meanwhile I was reading some notes, she said something that, to be honest at the beginning, I didn't understand. The only thing I could say was: English? I know, such a looser; but I guess I was really focus on what I was doing at the moment that my brain didn't react how is supposed to.The point here, is that even she never told me, or neither to some classmates that were on the classroom, I knew she was like Nathan.

She is british, from a town in Manchester called Lake district or something like that, she showed us some really sunny and beautiful pictures of her home town. It's funny because, London is famous for not being sunny or having a good weather (to be honest I prefer their weather than ours, It's really hot here) but yeah...

She was on the classroom to talk to us about the urban art that we can find in the UK, she talked about an specific artist known as Banksy whom is an anonymous graffiti artist who paint all over the city and places he wants.
I was really curious to know If this graffiti artist has come to Mexico, I mean the place where nothing happens but we all have something to complain for, because she told us that he dedicates to do a ''joke'' about the government or the society in general.

I mean Mexico has a lot of things  (and troubles) to talk, or in his case, to paint... On my reasearch I found that in 2001 he visited Chiapas, there he met with the EZLN and decide to paint something for them.

All this pictures and more, appear on Freedom through football: The Story of Tue Eastom Cowboys and Cowgirls.

Differences between cultures...

Mexican & German people... On this post, I will be talking about the principal differences that I have found between Mexican and German people, especially on food habits.  To start I must say, that I can talk about German habits because my brother and his German girlfriend lived with my parents and me, for some months. So said that, I noticed that they, or at least my brother's girlfriend, like to drink strong coffee on the mornings meanwhile they are on their computers. But let's be honest, we all want (and need) some caffeine at the morning. The point here is that, like some people here in Mexico, she doesn't add anything else than a lot of coffee spoons on her cup. The other habit that I've noticed is that they really (really) enjoy hard bread with dried fruits on it. If she didn't buy a German box bread, she was baking one. One day, she was making a birthday cake for me; at the beginning it looks really good, but when she finished the whole thing was ...

Mock Exam

The First Exam... Today I decided was the day to do an exercise that I almost forgot our english teacher leave us a week ago. I have to say that I haven't done this because I have lots and lots of homework, a lot of readings to be exactly , but yeah... the point here is that on this entry I'll be showing the making process of my mock exam, so let's start... The last thing I have to say is that I agree with the girl when she says that we all have an inner child, even some people says the otherwise. - Jj 

Work conditions now... Aren't we far from the 19th?

It's a cold fact that the cost of living has change along the years; specially If we talk about now and two centuries ago. In this essay I'll be mentioning the differences ans similarities that exist between the working conditions here in Mexico and the working conditions back in the 19th, particularly at the Industrial Revolution (I.R.) First at all, it's hard to place both scenarios in one debate; just for the simple reason that they ain't in the same era or even geographic location. Now ''almost'' everybody in the world enjoy of many rights and benefits; but back in the day the situation wasn't that good. In the 19th Great Britain (and almost all Europe) was passing by a transition, the countryside was being replaced by the city -like nowadays- just to be able to work (and gain ''more'' money) in some of the plenty factories that started to function in that time. As I said in the first lines of the last paragraph, both ...
