A country I would like to visit.

I would like to visit Germany. Even if money can be an issue when you want to travel to other continent, I use to say that dreaming is allowed, always. There are many countries in Europe, but I have a particular interest in the germanic history and culture, and I know that I could travel back in time or to unimaginable places if I visit some places in Germany. There are two places that I would like to visit in Germany right now, places that I only can imagine, but I know that imagining these places is never gonna be like being there:


First: Pergamon Museum.


Pergamon Museum is an especial place, because here was rebuilt some monuments as the Pergamon Altar, in the picture above. Also, this museum is divided in three sections: an antiquity collection, the Middle East Museum and the Museum of Islamic art. I would like to visit all three sections of this huge museum.


Second: The castles built during Ludwig II of Bavaria’s reign.

Ludwig II of Bavaria is known actually by the construction, with his own fortune, of fairy-tale castles in Bavaria. The picture above is from the Neuschwanstein castle. I’ve seen many pictures of castles in the world along my life, but these castles are just wonderful. I would really like to visit at least one of these castles. I would like to see it with my own eyes, really.





There are many other places that I would like to visit in Germany, also there are many reasons for me to visit Germany and even to live there: the history, many places, the language and the culture of the people. I would like to learn about this and even more about this country!

Favourite and dream places

This is Puerto Montt, my favourite place. I was born there and I can say that Puerto Montt is definitively a place to visit. This place is known by it's rainy weather, but even if you don't like rainy or cold places, you'll have a lot of things to do, especially if you like to get in contact with nature or local history and culture. Near Puerto Montt, as example, you can visit the archaeological site Monte Verde, known by the Clovis culture that lived there approximately 13500 years ago.Also in Puerto Montt you can take many buses to near places as Maullín, Puerto Varas, Petrohué, without making mention of more places that are near Puerto Montt.
As X Region’s capital, main activities in the region uses to take place there or in near places, as Chiloé archipelago.


After my favourite place, I want to tell you about places I've visited. Actually, I haven't travelled that much, but I went a few years ago to Valle de Elqui.That’s a place that I’m not going to forget easily and I must talk about that place here. There was many things I’ve likedbut what I remember the most is the night skyThe first time I was invited to see the night skywhen I looked up, I kept looking at the sky about two hours. If I went again to Valle de Elqui, I’d prefer to be awake at night and look at the sky all night long. If you eventually go there, you can't miss the vastness of the sky.


Finally, I want to talk about places I'd like to visit. There are many places I'd like to visit, but this time I chose Japan. Why? I want to visit Japan because of it’s culture and history. Japan is a country with a long history, and it’s culture is very rich and interesting. There are many places I’d like to visit as Tokyo and Hokkaido:

Tokyo by being the capital of Japan and a huge city and full of stories, definitively. I'd like to visit Harajuku too, an area spreading from Harajuku Station, a place where you can take a walk all day long and you'll want to go back the next day and the next day and so on.
                                        
Hokkaido because there are many stories that I want to hear right there as the stories about the beginning of it's colonization, and also I want to visit and see with my own eyes the Lavender Fields in Furano, that I show you in the picture below.
