(One of) the best gigs I've ever been to

On that ocassion me and some friends went to see Meshuggah (Sweden) and Rammstein (Germany) at Rockout fest. It was on Saturday, September 3, 2016 at the Santa Laura Stadium.  There played several bands in the same day because it was kind of a big festival, with some of the bands very punk rock like but there was this other side more metalish where played these two bands that are one of my favorites. Meshuggah plays progressive metal, very heavy and saturated, with gutural voices and frenetic guitar riffs and solos; and Rammstein plays a different style that is industrial metal, more structured and with clean, strong voices. The place felt nice and there were no violent incidents so we were able to enjoy the show from start to finish and  the show was perfect just at the level of these great bands. Even tho we had to make a huge line to go pee just before the show started and after it finished but it was worth it, hehe.

A country I would like to visit. Iceland

Iceland is beautiful land full of mystic landscapes where the natural zones rule the country. It reminds me also of the place where I was born, Punta Arenas in the extreme south of Chile. It looks very cold and countryside style even tho Iceland has citíes with everything a big city has. Icelandic people are very respectful of their traditions and northern heritage and have a private attitude towards foreigners. They have a really low crime rate with almost no gunshots ever shot by policeforce and almost no seriuos crimes like murders. Its population is just over 330 thousand inhabitants throughout the country. Of that, a third live in its capital Reykjavik. First I would love to visit and explore the geysers, lakes and beautiful mountains it has in its natural environment. But I also would like to live there, in a peaceful and cozy place and do some art to make a living, even teach Spanish or art lessons.
