Please, No More Crime

    I have been living in Calgary since 2004, I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to live in this beautiful  and safe city. I remembered I used to leave the door unlock whenever I left home and nothing
happened, it was incredible.  Now a days the population of Calgary is growing tremendously and we know when the population increases the problems begin, we hear bad news about assault, robberies or murders. However, Calgary still continues to be a safe city. We can walk anywhere with security, maybe in some places is a little difficult but most of the places are safe, because we can see many security cameras in  public areas for example on the C-train stations, malls, and the police are always on alert. They are doing a really nice job. In my hometown (Lima-Peru) the population is bigger and the main problem is the unemployment percentage that is why many people are a muggers. You can't walk on the streets wearing gold or silver jewelry, also you can't walk around talking on your cell phone because it will be stolen and you can't leave the house alone because they will force the lock and break into the house and steal whatever they want, now most of the communities have a security guards to vigilance and the robbery is less. Do to all these reason, I am happy living here.

I AM THE LUCKY WINNER

If I won $ 10 million dollars in the lottery,first of all I would prioritize my needs such as paying the mortgage of my house, the  good education for my daughters at the university, I would  like to save money into a medical insurance for in some case me or my family have a critical illness, also put some amount in my savings account for my retirement,then  I would like to travel to my country and help the children in need, for example the orphans,the handicapped.I would like to provide them with clothing, housing,toys,and the most important health services, help my family with some money.If after that I still have some money left than I would rather to travel  around the world.I hope some day will be the winner to make my dreams true.

Christmas in Peru

    In Peru we celebrate Christmas on December 24th at midnight it's the most important celebration;because this holiday we remember the nativity of Jesus Christ.The majority of Peruvian people are christian.We called this holiday as Noche Buena (Good Night) all the families are together,

and they prepared a big and special dinner with turkey,rice,potato,salad,hot chocolate,and paneton(big cake).Also we put gifts under the tree,and most of this gifts in the houses are for the children;because they believe that Papa Noel (Santa Clause) bring those for them.At midnigth everyone hugs and say 

Feliz Navidad (Happy Merry Christmas) and cheer whit champagne or wine.We also celebreted with fireworks ouside the house.After that we took the dinner,the kids oppened their presents ,and in some houses families have a party.They enjoying dancing a good salsa and romantic songs sometimes until 5:00 in the morning.I love christmas because all families come together, and during this time we reflect, the relationship is became more strong.I hope you have a good time this  up coming  crhistmas.

City and Country

         I had been living in Lima,capital of Peru most of my life.In the earlie's 70th. Lima was a quite place to live,work and have a good time in the city,but over the years Lima changed incredibly,it has become too crowed,busy,we have to depend on traffic,loud cars horns,sirens,and the most tragic thing is the people health do to the air pollution,and the lack of clean water.These are the reasons of why many people suffer different illnesses as asthma,lung problems,allergies,etc.Also people are in a rush all the time,they are moving around fast,trying to get things done as fast as possible.If I had the need to go back to Peru. I would choose any city outside of Lima,for example Iquitos,is a small,hot, and beautiful city in the rain forest of Peru.Living in Iquitos one feels like you are in a paradise,because you are in contact with nature seeing the clean and clear sky,breathing fresh air,enjoying the delicious cuisine and beverages made with typical products that the land produces,and whats most exciting is that you can see the wild life around you.The jungle is a few minutes from the city and you can enjoy the most excellent view through The Amazon forest with a variety of green vegetation.Small cities like this give you time to enjoy things that you couldn't do in the big cities.Any ways,living in small cities makes you feel more relax,time seems to go by slowly,there is always plenty of time to spend with your family,and neighbors,and the cost of living is cheaper than Lima.I hope some day I can enjoy my retirement there.
