Well.. I will be completely honest in this entry, because sometimes when I'm thinking on future I have strange, weird ideas. And this is one of them because I have a dream but at the same time I have another one in the same dream.
If I could choose any job in any place, I will work in Japan as a President of a food company for a while. I think that would be my tangible dream. I will live in Japan, being the president of one of the most famous Japanese food company, I will be the absolute boss there, I'll have my own office with my secretary and I will have minor assignments to do. Yes it would be interesting.
But if I have to say what I would do, I think that something that is more interesting for me is being a hermit on Japan, full with misantrophy ideas or thinking that I'm not compatible with society, living on my house, away from the civilization, trying to survive day by day hunting my food or gathering it, living alone just me and nature, with nobody who wants to annoy me or trying to tell me what I have to do or what should I do and how I have to do something. that would be amazing!, and probably for me it will be hilarious.
Then when I get bored of that. I would be make amends with my path living in a Zen Buddhist Monastery, looking for peace and enjoying nature, showing respect for every life form in the planet in the last period of my life.

"Shameless"
The truth is... I'm not keen on TV series at all, because I just watch cartoons or anime on TV. But if I have to talk about a TV series that I really have enjoyed and I think is a great show, I will talk about "Shameless UK", because I think that this show gives us the necessary dose of social realism that all of us need in our lives.
Shameless story takes place in England, and talks about the lives of Frank Gallagher, an intelligent but wastefull alcoholic and his large, dysfunctional family, but as the show progressed it also widened the scope to include other occupants of the Chatsworth State like the Maguire family, who is a big drug dealer family with a lot of problems. As the series pass throught series 1 to 7, we can appreciate how some characters grow (like Frank's kids) and how another characters leave or things like that. The main idea of Shameless is to make a realist idea of "human comedy" showing all the rough aspects of the life of those people that just try to survive in this big game called life; like homosexuality, explicit sex, drug dealing, pedophilia, prostitution, robbery, bullying, atheism, lies, corruption, violence and many other things that can give us the idea of how cruel life could be or all the things that people are decided to do in order to survive.
I like Shameless a lot because it show me all the hidden things that people can do to survive, because it show me that the life sometimes could be very different for some people, like a parallel world. And for me it's different and special because Shameless gives me that dose of sarcasm, of cruel reality that no other shows can offer.

A movie that I like
Well.. to be honest, I don't like movies at all. I don't know why, but I'm not really keen on movies. So I haven't seen many of them. However, I like stupid comedy films or horror movies ( I really like them, but I don't watch them so often). So in this time, I'm going to talk about a very particular movie that I enjoyed so much... I'm talking about "Borat". This movie made me laugh a lot because the idea of the movie about Borat, a Kazakh journalist who travels with Azamat Bagatov (the film producer) to United States (by the behest of "Kazakh Ministry of Information) to make a documentary film in order to help with Kazakhstan's cultural problems. But all the movie tries to ridiculize and make a very sarcastic and burlesque parody of USA with Borat's misadventures (for example when Borat watch an episode of "Baywatch" he falls in love with Pamela Anderson and he gets obsessed with her at the point of convince Azamat to travel to California in order to find "The real America". But obiously Borat just want to go there to "meet" and marry her).
I think it's a very stupid film, but if you like sarcastic and stupid humor, I guess you with like it...or maybe you will hate Borat.

Cultural Clash
A cultural clash is basically all the disagreements, different and opposite ideas or manners between different countries and their environment that we can compare.
In this time I will talk about Chilean and Japanese manners inside the house. In Chile, people walk inside the house with shoes, or something like that, even when they enter to the bathroom or go outside to the courtyard. Maybe for us, this is something absolutely normal and it doesn't seems impolite. But in Japan it's completely different, I mean, it's something very impolite and you won't be allowed to do that in a Japanese house. In Japan, if you want to enter to someone's house, before you come in,at doorway you must take off your shoes and replace them with slippers provided by the host.This rule applies with the bathroom too, because there are bathroom shoes or slippers that you must use if you want to go there, I mean, you just replace your slippers at bathroom's entrance( or you putin if you walkin bare feet or socks). They do this because in Japan exist a lot of care and concience about tidiness, differences between dirty and clean areas, etc. And keeping clean and tidy places like your house is something really important for Japaneses. So as the house is considered a clean area, you mustn't contamine it with the shoes that you used for walk outside. The same for the bathroom because is considered like a different part of the house. So you need to put bath slippers to go in.
I chose that example because I find very interesting and cool the importance and how Japanese people care about tidiness and the diferences between clean and dirty spaces, even in all areas of their houses!. I didn't have this kind of experience before. So I think that differences between cultures sometimes are very big
