My house this afternoon


Just thought it would be fun to let you know what my house looks like.

I also parked my scooter in front of it. I have this for 2 years now. Just got my driving licence so maybe some time soon the scooter becomes a car=).

What to know about Christopher?!

I think it will be good to share a little about ourselves. Who am I? What are my passions? And what makes me Chris?

My life is about stories. Tell them, hear them, read them. And well that's the reason why I really like to communicate. I use lot's of different media to reach that. I'm always in contact with a media type. This way I'm up to date with things I should know. I read different kind of blogs to brief myself. Feed my mind with topics to start conversations.


I live in The Netherlands. It's a small country, with a LOT of people( + 16.000.000). And a lot of different cultures. The biggest hill in the Netherlands is 322 meters and 26 % of The Netherlands is beneath sea level. Next to that is Gay marriage allowed and freedom of speech and human rights is very normal. A few facts of this little country with a nice picture were you can see what Holland would look like if it wasn't protected by dyke's.

OK enough about my country. I am an eighteen year old student, studying Interactive Media in Amsterdam. I am a music fan (Toto) and a drummer for 6 years. And I like to share my ideas with people. I'm also very internationally orientated, that's the reason why I am learning Spanish can speak English, can understand French and German and speak dutch (of course).

I met Erick through my personal blog, and we created this blog since we had loads to discuss. We'll make the same discussions in written in "Spanglish" and publish them to the world. I'll write in English. Erick will write in Spanish. We will discuss Gadgets, new technology, Media usage, lifestyle and culture shocks.

Two continents discussing about life tomorrow...





* We would very like people to contribute via comments, e-mail, twitter or any other way ;-).

How the Internet could make a world so immense, something so small?

1 week ago, I knew you, Chris, but, before that I never thought about having relation with somebody so far... Yo estando en Guatemala, y tú en Países Bajos.
Es algo extraño, pensar en cómo el internet puede abrir tantas oportunidades, así como nosotros, que nos conocimos por este medio, hay muchas personas que incluso viven por esto.
I think that this blog, could be very interesting... two guys, two cultures, two points of view, two realities...

___________________________________________________________________
Antes de seguir con el Blog, voy a hablar sobre Guatemala...

Guatemala:
  • Se encuentra ubicado en América Central.
  • Su población es de 15,000,000 habitantes, 56% meztizos--44% indígena
Guatemala tiene dos lados: uno muy bueno y hermoso -- y otro malo y feo.

BUENO Y HERMOSO:
Guatemala cuenta con paisajes en todos lados, sus montañas, volcanes, lagos, etc. El clima es muy agradable, llaman a Guatemala el país de la eterna primavera. Tiene lugares turísticos muy interesantes, como la antigua Guatemala, Tikal, parques de diversiones como Xetulul, y muchos más.


MALO Y FEO:
Guatemala se encuentra en problemas de inseguridad, falta de oportunidades, y desorden. Las maras, son una de las partes más importantes en la inseguridad, en todos lados de Guatemala hay mareros. En Guatemala, las oportunidades de trabajo no son abundantes y las que hay la mayoría no son bien pagadas. Negativismo en la población y falta de visión al futuro.
Y también problemas de corrupción en el gobierno.

El mundo through our eyes!

Hola,

I also think we can make this work, we could have discussions on the blog and upload pictures and video of our lives. My knowledge about programming is not that broad. I can make what I would like at the moment. And I don't have the ambitions to learn it even better ( at the moment). I think I would learn it better through the years. Not by studying it, but just because I'm in contact with it. I'll make some pictures today of my school. Maybe with the "high-tech" facilities.

Buenas dias!
