Lima vs. Caraveli

There are lots of cities in this world. Everyone is different and similar, at the same time, from the other. In this opportunity, we are going to see what differences and similarities are between the cities of Caravelí, Arequipa and Lima downtown. Although, both cities are placed in the coast of Peru they have many differences, but we’ll mention population, environment, and transportation.

One difference between Lima and Caraveli is the population. Being the capital, Lima is an overcrowded city. It used to have little population, but now, the number increase because of migration. In addition, people, here, don’t know each other and are no friendly. In contrast, Caraveli is a small city; therefore, the number of people is minimum compared to Lima. There, people know each other very well like they were a big family. Furthermore, they work as a team to keep harmony in the city.

The second difference we find between these cities is the environment. Lima is surrounded by many buildings constructed without organization everyone taller or older than other. Because there are lots of cars and fabrics, the city has become noisy and disorganized. Another factor that makes the environment looks bad is us. It is sad to say it, but we see it everyday. People are get use to throw garbage away; they don’t respect anything at all. The worst part is that they transmit their bad habits to their children. On the other hand, Caraveli is an organized city. There are no enormous buildings; houses are placed very well. It’s a quite place where there are no cars or fabrics that produce smoke. This city it’s pretty clean; they don’t throw garbage away. In addition, every morning, elderly people wake up very early to clean their portals.

Finally, the way people transport is pretty different. In Lima, people use cars, buses, etc. The problem, as I said before, is the quantity of these. There are too many cars and very bad constructed ways that make us hate to go downtown. For example, many years ago, from home, it used to take my mom only 20 minutes going downtown by bus, though, we live far away from the city, but now it takes us like 2 hours. On the contrary, in Caraveli, people don’t use that kind of transportation. Because it’s small, they use bikes, their animals like horses and donkeys, or, simply, they walk. Moreover, get to this city is not that easy; actually, it’s amazing and has kind of adventure. Because Caraveli is surrounded by mountains, you have to rent a donkey and go up until the top of the mountain; then, you have to go down. Pretty cool, don’t you think?

To sum up, population, environment, and transportation are factors that are different in these cities, but are important to know. I recommend you to visit Caraveli someday; I haven’t done it yet, but I would like to. Personally speaking, caraveli sounds more interesting than Lima.

stress, stress, and more stress

Every day, men and women are too busy doing many things. This routine can be exhausting and it also can damage our health. Stress is produced by many factors and it has negative effects in our life.

One factor that produces stress is working for too many hours. Sometimes employees have a lot to do at office. Therefore, they don’t eat very well, they don’t sleep, and they spend too much time in front of the computer.

 Having problems at home is another cause. It causes stress in adults, young adults, teenagers, and even kids. It happens when there are members in the family that fight all the time, or have drinking problems.

Finally, procrastination is one of the most common causes of stress.  Since people like to leave their duties to the last minute, they always live in a hurry. Then, they don’t know what to do when time is against them.

We have seen some factors that cause stress. Now we'll see what the effects are.

There are negative effects when stress becomes part of our life. For example, if we talk about our health, stress causes several headaches. In some people causes fiber, fainting and other diseases that can bring death. In our daily life, it causes lack of concentration that’s why people don’t stop thinking about their problems; our job performances decrease for the same reason. Some people can lose their job, their families, and everything else.

In conclusion, stress is a problem that can affect our life style. It happens for so many reason and can ruins our life if we don’t learn how to deal with it.

Last birthday party

I’ve never enjoyed a birthday party in all my life until that day. It doesn’t mean that my parents never organized one; actually, they did it. The tiny problem is that I was too little; I was 3 and 5 years old, so I can’t remember. When I was about 15 my father asked me if I wanted my birthday party; of course, I said, “NO WAY.” To me, those parties were always ridiculous. The horrible long pink dress, the big cake, appears at midnight. Well, I knew that I could have a better party someday, and I was right. It was very fabulous how I celebrate my 20 year old birthday.

Everything start when my friend A… called me on the phone and asked me to go out with him and the people from the CCAM “Centro cultural de Anime y Manga”, which are also my friends, to go to “Parque de la Reserva”. I said, “Yes.”We had a real good time. In the way home, my friend A and I talked about my birthday, so I decided to organize a party. The next day, I called him to invite him and my friends from CCAM, but I figured out that one of them, a friend called X, was organizing a birthday party too. Then, we coordinate to celebrate it together in order to be with our friends. We camped on the beach; it was amazing. We build our tents; then, we played in the water and collected wood to make a fire.  In the evening, we ate chicken, hot dogs, snacks, and candies. After that, we drank some wine, danced, talked, and took a lot of photos. Later, we fell asleep. The next day, we cleaned up all the mess; unfortunately, I had to go home, but I was happy.

To sum up, I had an amazing first birthday party that I will never forget. Camping on the beach as a first birthday celebration, it’s an unforgettable experience in your life. :D
