Since I was a little kid i'd wanted to visit Denmark, I remember watching a documental about all the countries in Europe, when they talked about Denmark they rated it as "The happiest country in the world" so I told my mom " someday I'll live there" It sounds silly, but now that i've grown up I still woull like to go there someday, maybe doing a semester abroad.
I know many things about this country, one of the things i like about it, is their concern about environmental issues,this has historically taken a progressive stance on environmental preservation. Actually a couple of years ago in Copenhague, the capital, took place the united nations climate change conference where they talked about global warming and the Kioto Protocol. Another thing I like about Denmark are their social programs, you as a citizen pay really high taxes but you have social secury programs, health care and quality education for free. Their culture is very open minded about new cultures and people from different countries. When I was a kid I didn't understand why they said it was the happiest country in the world but now I kinda do, I mean if you live in a country that is environmental friendly, if you dont have to worry about health care or education, if your normal working week is way less than all the other countries (about 37 hours) and you have more time for entertainment and fun, I surely would be happier :)Well as i said i would like to study there, maybe do an exchange program for a semester to learn more about the country and get to know the culture a little bit better.

I used to have a blog two years ago, I kept it for about one year. I wrote about my year as an exchange student, originally I created the blog cause I think our memories are fragil and i wanted to keep track of my experience so I could  read it once it's over, so I wrote about the people I met, the places I went, how different was from chile and everything I wanted to remember.
Well, my expectations are being able to improve my writting through this blog and also to read my classmate's blogs so I can get to know their experiences and learn as much new vocabulary as I can and improve the way I express myself in english.
The grammar will definetely be challenging, cause I usually make grammar mistakes.
Through this blog I want to increase my vocabulary, practice my english so I can get better. And hopefully we can all share our experiencies through this blog so we can help each other and improve as much as we can cause being able to express ourselves in another lenguage is a great tool for our career and our lives
