Movies

The first movie that I really enjoyed as a child was "Looney Tunes back in action!". In that movie the cartoons were living with real people and had to prevent the ACME corporation for getting the "Blue Ape", a small statue with the power to turn humans in apes and viceversa.

I haven´t seen any movie recently, because of the homework, but I certainly prefer to saw movies in the cinema. In my house I do not have good pop corn (for some reason, the home-made pop corn is never as good as the cinema´s pop corn) or a giant screen. I think that this two things are enought to worth the lack of the ability of pause the movie.

I think the last film that I saw was "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". The main actor was Ian Holm, who played as Bilbo Baggins. The movie was about the adventures of Bilbo and 13 dwarves, who seek to reconquer the Solitary Mountain and kill Smaug, the dragon who attacked it a lot of years before and stole all its treasure. Bilbo has to obtain a jewel from the dragon´s lair and to bring it back to Thorin the dwarf. Once with this precious ítem in his power, Thorin will have the authority to call a hugue army of dwarves to face Smaug. I would definitely recomend this movie beacuse all its amazing action and stuff. But in orden to enjoy it more, PLEASE READ THE BOOK BEFORE SEEING THE MOVIE!

Eager to visit the homeland of imperialistic states

Despite my hate against everything related to autocracy, i can not help having a lot of interest in the possibility of visiting Peru. The Huari and the Inca empires had their capitals there, and interacted with a lot of people (thought by annexing territories and murdering people).

I know a lot of things about Peru. I have studied its wars, its political conflicts, etc... However i am much more interested in the native cultures that lived (and still living) there.

If i visit Peru i would like to stay for a year or two if possible. I should not have many monetary problems if i save enough cash, and the money exchange favours me! I would visit as many museums and ancient places as i could. I would specially travel by the roads of the Inca, imaging of should be the life as a citizen of the empire. The different peoples not only had to deal with the incas, but also with other people as well. I think being conquered by the Inca empire should have let the previous conflict in Status Quo. I wonder if the incas know that they used to be under Huari empire´s rule!

I would like to study there, and if i can, i also would like to work for a museum as an archaeologist. There a lots of thing that i want to learn here. However, i am not thinking in to live more time there. Maybe i could change my opinion, but for know i do not want to live too much time in a country with such levels of violence, insecurity, and with a lot of dangeours bugs. I am not used to live in that conditions.
