There is a lot of very old legends, they are great but a little bit old fashioned, they are nice stories but nowadays they do not seem so close to us. On the other hand urban legends are more attractive and close, they show us some stories that are based on a kind of modern events which are not explained. A very well known legens is the so called "La rubia de Kennedy", which is a cool story. Which is your favorite urban legend?

Legends, myths and traditional fantasy stories are great. They tells us about fantastic events that happened in a place, things that with time are full of details and attractive elements. One of my favorite legends is King Arthur, because he is a character that has some roots on a real man, a roman soldier that arrived to England. Arthur tried to stablish an ideal society and a model to follow. What's your favorite legend? Tell us about it.

Our life story is very important, it reminds us of who we are, the special people we have met and of course the events that have made us grown and learnt. We must not forget those moments in life, we live our life the way we do because of them.

TV has a wide variety of programs to choose from. We can watch good and bad ones, some are really interesting but others are a real waste of time.

If you don't believe take a look at the video TIME WARP, a discovery program.

Chile has a lot of wonderful places, we can talk about the green landscapes of the south of our country, cities such as Frutillar are cool and attractive. We can also think about the dry and arid beauty of the north and places such as San Pedro de Atacama, Copiapo and others. What's your favorite place? Mine is Frutillar, it's great.

I don't like horror movies, I think they are very foolish, full of bad effects, very predictable and of course not believable. If you ask me the only horror movie that is credible is "The exorcist", it is disturbing and stunning. What's your opinion? What's your favorite one?

There are a lot of excellent and exciting movies, I like a lot of but one of my favorite is Star Wars, I think it is a cool story, full of special effects, action, cool characters and great battles and lightsaber fights. It has a lot of fans all over the world which is cool too.

Today women have a very different place in our society, they do many thing that in the past where only for men, step by step women have built a solid status in every day life, but Do men really respect this situation? or Do they feel a bit jealous about them getting better jobs or doing the same things?

When you are down you always need a friendly hand to go ahead, solve your problem and continue with a new day. A friend, a cousin or even a classmate may be the one who can give you the right advice, but the thing is: Are agony aunts really helpful? Would you ask one for advice?

Family is an important element in life, it supports you, gives you a reason to go ahead and of course never leaves you alone. My family is not so small, it is beautiful and really wonderful, What about yours?

Vacations are over and school is here, back to classes, uniforms, rules and all that kind of things. Our routine changes once again, we have to wake up early in the morning, to spend the whole day at school and of course study for tests and do homeworks, but we can still remember our vacation days. How was your usual summer day?

There are many music styles and their sub genres, one of my favorites is blues. It has a sad and melancholic mood that is transmitted through its rhythm and lyrics. Its main instrument is the guitar, which expresses many things. John Lee Hooker, B. B. King and Eric Clapton are some of my favorite singers.
