Since little I loved sea animals and I thought on working at Sea World with the dolphins or study zoology marine because I think that the ocean is a completely different world full of magnificient creatures. Although it was my passion, my favorite animal wasn't from the sea. I remember when little I had to do the "Great Brain Project", at my school, about an animal I like the most and, although I don't remember why, I decided to present about the polar bear.
Even though many people see the polar bear as a threat because they use to go to the camps and people are afraid of it, I like to see the other "face" of this animal. First of all I think that this creature doesn't invade the camps because he wants to kill, it's just that he smells food and we can't forget that it's the human who invade, in the first place, the home of the polar bear.
Troughout the whole time I was doing my project, I liked more and more this animal. I think that it's a majestous animal, with it white fur, black nose and thick feet. It has a great sense of smell because he can detect seals swimming under the ice, that can't be thin because if not it won't resist the weight of the bear. It's an animal who has a very lonely life, who only has the company of its baby, he doesn't live in group with other bears. He can give birth to one or two babies who are born during the time the mother hibernates.
It may be difficult to imagine a big and scary animal, as the polar bear and other bears, as a nice one. But sometimes I wonder, if this animals were so danger as some people said, how come that it is so common to buy teddy bear to someone we care, to love the gummy bears of ambrosoli and even more to have the gominola bear. I think that as any animal, the polar bear will be danger only if he feels threat or scare.
Now a days, although I still love the polar bear, I don't think I would work in something related with him. I prefer to stay with the image of a nice creature, but also knowing how he can react in presence of threatness I think I better don't relate with him.

What to do, Where to go in Santiago
Santiago has many places for visiting, but it depends on what type of things the person wants to do, what place to visit.
If someone likes history, art or something related to culture, Santiago has interesting museums, lots of art museums and beautiful chapels with great paintings. On the other hand for the ones that like best outside activities, they have the opportunity of visiting a zoo, go to the Cerro San Cristobal and ride the "teleferico".
If I had to suggest places to visit I would say:
1) Bellavista: I think it has very good restaurants if someone wants to try a good Chilean food, and at nights there are a variety of pubs and clubs for people to choose. The couple of times I had been at a club in Bellavista I saw lots of tourists, so I imagine that in general tourists like go.
2) Patronato: For the ones that like to buy a lot is cheap and you can find everything that people sell at the mall (without counting spensive and exclusive cloth). I just suggest not to go during a hot and sunny day because the only way of shopping is walking; it's impossible to go by car when there's a lot of people.
3) La Moneda: I think that when someone visit a country, he/she has to go and learn about the history or the culture. Santiago has beautiful museums about the time when it was colonize, about the independant day and also interesting museums about art and the chapels also have nice paintings.
4) Cerro San Cristobal: I like this place because you have a variety things to do; walk, seat and relax, ride bycicle or the "teleferico". Its the perfect place to go a Sunday afternoon around 16:00 hrs with the family and then at night see a beautiful scenery of Santiago with all the lights of the cars, street and houses.
5) Finally I have to consider that in every trip there should be a day full of fun so I would say to go to Fantasilandia or Mampato. It's perfect for people of all ages (well, not considering people too young or too old), there are games for all the ages and tastes. I think Mampato is a little bit more for small children and Fantasilandia has more games for grown ups.
Well, actually Santiago has a lot more places where to go, people just need to take their time and decide what they like the best.
