'A different language is a different vision of life'

During the last few years I've learning English, French and German because I need to have the highest level of these languages when I finish my universitary studies. In addition, in the EBAU exam, which will be held in 3 months, (omg I'm pretty nervous) there's an English test, and its mark will be decisive to enter in Medicine. So, as an evidence that I can speak all those languages (apart from Spanish, my mother language), I made the following videos where I'm introducing myself by using  an avatar, and each one is in a different language: Spanish, English, German and French. This way, more people all around the world will be able to understand it, no matter which language they speak:  

Roverway 2018

This weekend I went to Murcia in order to participate in a scout event to prepare ourselves for a bigger scout event: the Roverway. This is a meeting of scouts who are between 16-20 years old no matter their country. It helds every 2 years always in July, and this year it takes place in the Netherlands near of Amsterdam from 23rd July to 2nd August. So this weekend (17-18) the idea was to meet everybody together so we could know who are we travelling with, since from my scout group, for instance, there are only 7 of us, whereas more than 50 scouts in Murcia are participating in the Roverway. Besides, during the camp we will be organised in patrols (in my case platypus), which will be mixed with international patrols, so we are going to sleep and share experiences with, for example, british or weedish scouts!

This year Roverway's slogan is 'Opposites attract' (as it's shown below) because the idea is to join people from different countries all around Europe who are going to be pretty different among themselves. Take into account that Irish scouts will meet Turkish ones, and their respective culture is really different. The event will be organised in 2 parts: the first one is called 'paths' and it lasts the first 4 days of the Roverway. Every patrol is going to do a path or route with international patrols to discover the Netherlands and do some exercise as well as interesting activities. The path is previouly chosen by the patrols, and I'll tell you our favourite one so you can imagine who are more or less these paths. So we have decided to do a path called 'Pride in the south' where we are going to walk through the hills in the south of the Netherlands, play laser tag in the middle of the forest, explore some caverns, visit Maastritch and make rafting in a river. I'm reeeaaally looking forward to finishing the EBAU so I can live all these experiences!

Saint Valentine's day.

Happy St. Valentine's day to everyone who is in love with somebody. As usually, I'm alone, so I have enough time to research about the history of this day as well as some curious facts about it, since I don't have to spend the whole afternoon looking for a present to make my girlfriend happy. As you can see, I'm totally a hater of this day.

So, this holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. It came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century. Formal messages, or valentines, appeared in the 1500s, and by the late 1700s commercially printed cards were being used. Valentines commonly depict Cupid, the Roman god of love, along with hearts. Traditional gifts include candy and flowers, particularly red roses, a symbol of beauty and love.   

Saint Valentine's day is popular in almost every country in the world, and it is celebrated in several ways. In Philippines, for example, it is the most common wedding anniversary, and mass weddings of hundreds of couples at the same time are not uncommon on that date. This picture shows one of these massive weddings in Bacoor, Philippines:

My investigation project - 2nd part

Yesterday, I made the exposition of my project in class (you know, the project I uploaded a few days ago), so I decided to upload the powerpoint I used during my presentation too. I hope it clarifies you some of the doubts you could have after reading the whole text of my project. I hope you enjoy it!
