 HOW PLANES WERE BORN

The history of planes started belong 1800 in the 16th century, Mark Clerk was the first
man to think at flying machines; he had dreams and made drawings of helicopters, but he
did not actually build them.

Many years later, The Irwins, two french brothers, made a balloon that flew for five miles
in 1738, in 1848, Jhon Hartman made a small plane that was able to make short flights,
then, in january 1890, Samuel Secrets tried to fly a flying machine, but he couldn`t
because the weather was too bad. He tried once more the next month, but again it didn`t
go up, so he stopped the proyect.

In 1901 the Americans Orville and Wilbut Wright built a machine to fly but it didn`t work
the first time. Finally in December 17, 1903, they flew the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which was in
the air for twelve seconds. The Wright brothers made 1.000 short distance flights in the
deserts in North Carolina. Thanks to the experience learned in these flights, The practice
of air transport began in 1907

Then in 1910 the first airplane company was created by two pilots from Rome, Gabriel and
Charles Oliverl, while the American Brell Graham and the Englishman Mike Major started
the first US airline in New York. Air transport is now one of the biggest businesses in the
world.

 ANIME and MANGA

Anime is a japanese video cartoon that began when Japan tried to make movies in the
Western. To make these “wester” movies, the money was not enough, places was
dificult to film, and japanese actors looked diferente from other people in the world. So,
directors prefered cartoons and asked artista to draw villager or people not found in other
movie, for example, they started making people with big heads, lots of hear and colorful
eyes.

Most Anime movie come from Manga and comics , which means written and drawn
stories. During the 1970s, many Anime movies were made from Manga written by Osamu
Tezuca, an artista well known for his writings about the future, wonderful machines and
amazing adventures.

Here in the West, we believe Anime is about japanese cartoons, but it`s actually the Word
they use in Japan for any kind of video cartoon. The same happens with Manga, which in
Japan refers to all comics everywhere, but in the West it means Japanese comics. Anime
movies are made wiyh the help of computer programs and special teams, while Manga
can be written and drawn by a single artista.

International companies rewrite Manga stories from Japanese into other languages and
sell them, However some fans do this before the companies in order to share the stories
online for free. More people can read Manga now, but some companies say that`s a form
of stealing.

 WHY I QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA

In recent years, there has been plenty of research about social media. Some studies
prove it could be mentally unhealthy and suggest taking a break from it. Idecided to quit
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and see for myself what benefits it couldm bring.

Now that I no longer have access to those networks, I get more work done and have
time to done extra chores like answering more e-mails and talking to people who I can
do business with. I might not get as many invitations nowadays, but the ones I get now
are completely genuine.So, it´s been positive.

As for my “friends”, I have no idea what they all are doing, but those who really
care about me are still there. I get involve with them on a real level, face to face. I listen
to them without checking Facebook on my cell pnone at the same time.

I do things and enjoy them without wondering how cool they will look in Instagram.
When I went out to eat with friends or relatives, I´d always pause to upload pictures of
the food. I,d always publish online our location every time we went to whatever club or
department store we visited. Now I´m living my life for my own pleasure, noy for social
media.

I depend too much on social networks. My media was costantly full of videos and
photos showing my day-to-day life. It was an awful habit- some kind of desease. Today I
feel free. I am enjoying something unexpected, which I had no idea I had lost.

 MY TRIP TO BOGOTA AND OTHER PLACES

I arrived in Bogotá feeling excited and ready to explore a big city, unfurtunately many
hours of raining didn’t allow me to go out for a while; it´s rain a lot there, maybe
more than in London, and I never thought that was possible.

Then I decide to visit a museum. I think museum are now more interesting and
enjoyable places than before. I visited the Gold Museum and saw the Gold from all over
Colombia. Ancient people used to stick these gold pices on their clithes during religión
activities, they never consider it as a valuable metal. I wonder why people love gol dan
money so much nowadays. It´s nothing special , just a metal. If you go will you enjoy it?.

After that I stayed with a family I had met at the museum, they invited me to stay with
them in CHIA. They live on the land that used to be their parents “farm” , that´s
why they have divide it , into samaller parts, which that´s mean that they live close to,
next to, opposite or near each other. That is one really close and warm family.

The houses are old and badly designed buid by the people themselves in different styles,
buta ll beautiful an amazing. To have such a beautiful sense of family was something I
have not seen, in my whole life.

Finally we went to a typical restaurant, it was huge, with a fantastic view, and the food I
ate was great. This was the part I liked the most. Colombian food is magnificient.
