The Aquarium of Barcelona

On Wednesday 2 of March of 2011 I went to the Aquarium of Barcelona with my mother and my brother, my father couldn't go because he was working.

First we took the train to Barcelona Passeig de Gracia and then we went to the consulate of Colombia.

After, we took a taxi that led us to the Aquarium, but we were so hungry and we decided to eat in the McDonal's that was there. 

Then, we went to buy the ticket for enter and, because it was early, there were not a lot of people and it was good. When you enter they take a photo that you can buy when you go out.  In there all is fantastic, there are a lot of  species of fish!, all in the aquarium is so interesting and I saw a lot of fish that I never had seen before! My brother was very very happy! and we too of course. I took a lot of photos but without flash ( I didn't like the people who took pothos with flash because it isn't good for the fish) and I filmed a lot!

The most that I like was the sharks and penguins and we could saw how they fed them!. 

My mum bought one penguin, one ball and one glass to my brother, to me, she bought one snake  (she didn't like my decision because she hates the snakes) and one glass, and for herself she bought one thing that holds the photos. 

In the future I hope to go again because I liked it so much, and the next time I hope that all us can go together and, maybe, go with my friends one day.

Avatar ( film review )

Sinopsis of the film Avatar

Jake Sully, a former Marine in a wheelchair, is recruited to travel to Pandora, where the humans extracted a rare mineral that will be the key to solve the energy crisis on Earth. Cause Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar program, which "leads" humans have their minds together to an avatar, a biological body controlled remotely that can survive in the deadly air. These avatars have been genetically engineered as a hybrid combining human DNA with DNA from the native beings of Pandora, the Na'vi.

In his avatar form, Jake can walk again and infiltrate in the Na'vi 's clan, which have become a major obstacle to extract the precious mineral. But Na'vi Neytiri, saves the life of Jake, and this changes everything. Jake is accepted by his clan, and prepared to become one of them. As the relationship evolves with Neytiri, he learn to respect the way of being of Na'vis and he takes his place between them. But Jake has to decide to fight for Pandora or not.

Personal opinion

I love this film, all the special effects are wonderful and the Pandora's world is 'magic' all these nature and the pure soul of the Na'vi is so beautiful. This is what happens there in the Earth. We are destroying all this nature, and a lot of animals are dying day by day. Now they have descovered another world like the Earth, but I think that we don't have to search another worlds and another lifes if we, may be, in the future, we going to destroy them.

A raccoon rips a penis man who tried to rape him (news)

In Moscou, Alexander Kirilov, a Russian who is 44 years old, was spending the weekend with his friends, got drunk and thought it would be fun penetrate a raccoon.

The animal, scared, jumped on the man and  bite him on the penis.

I found this news when I was seeing the news on internet. I was very surprised to find this news because...the man is crazy? when penetrate a raccoon can be fun? seriously, poor animal.

I know, there are a lot of people who say and do stupid things but it is the first time that I am really surprise and I can be a bit cruel but I think that the raccoon was right to bite :S
