My favourite videos on internet

I really don't see very videos on internet, specifically on youtube, I used that website for listen music, play all songs of this artist and don't look at the images. But in very specific moments I watched videos with friends and the have been hilarious, like with these videos.


The first of them is a very funny video, I watched in a party with a friend. Both were very drunk, and when we talking about the "videos on internet", he show me that link:

Is very funny, we think something very bad, but "who don't live any situation in that video". The man is really drunk, and very step in the street or house is like the worst end of party in the life of any one. OK, es very exaggerated. I never did so many thing in this situation. Independently of that, the short movie is very good, the production is excellent, and the final is hilarious. As with the company of the incredible song of Frank Sinatra, any person know that melody, is a clasic.


The second video I chose because is a great recording of the DJ's world team challenge. I saw in the house of a friend. She show me because both love hocus pocus, a band of french rap and the vocal is one of the dj in that team.

The mix of song is very cool, and the way of they play the disc is amazing. That video reminds us of the fundamental part in the rap music of the dj. They took clasic song of fifties or sixties of jazz singer and mixed with a nice base. That is one of the many videos, the team in the challenge, with the name C2C, wons fouth years consecutive and this year will have their first album.


I wish enjoy these videos and waiting for yours comments.

Moving around in London (KEN'S VERSION)

Last Wednesday’s activity was quite interesting, it was a surprise from Miss B, and we were told to explore London without actually travelling to London, instead, we had to search through the web.


To be honest, I didn’t know much about the city, but it has that historical vibe that makes me want to go there someday. The web quest helped to confirm my wishes, as most of the places we were supposed to go were historical landmarks or museums, and they were only a part of what London has to offer.


Going through the places’ websites was quite fast and easy. Every page had a link that gave directions to get there, that says a lot about what they think about tourism. They want people to visit London in every way!


The most difficult part was wrapping my head around the subway (or tube, in British) system. It’s quite huge and I had to download a tube map from Transport for London’s website, and learn how to move around using it. One thing I thought was “if this is so overwhelming, I can’t even imagine how complicated the bus system must be”, but then I realized that maybe that wasn’t the case, and I’m accustomed to using a lousy bus system (coughTransantiagocough).


To sum it up, I liked the activity because it gave me the chance to learn about such a great city as London, and I know virtual visits are nothing compared to the real thing, so I can’t wait to actually go there!

London


In the work from the past week we had to think about a one week imaginary trip to London. London is a culturally rich city and in the short period of time that I will be there I will spend most of the time visiting museums and galleries, like the National Gallery of Art and Tate museum. In those museums and galleries I would be able to see masterpieces from artists such as Van Gogh, Kiefer and Damien Hirsch. Also I would love to walk through the markets of London, like the Camden market and taste the typical Britannic food.
After doing some research on the internet, I realized that London is not as expensive as I thought it was, for example the tickets for all the museums and galleries are free.   OK, maybe in that thing is cheap, and in others very expensive, like food or hotel. I must check myself in any moment.
With the work we can know the really price some things in London. Is a good way for travel, and to save money for others things in the trip. I do ever that method, for future travels in the world, especially in Europe, or countries with a money very distinct to “peso”.
