Well, today is recommendations day so I'm going to talk about the docuseries or documental "High score".

High score was created and directed by France Costrel. This show, released in August 2020, features interviews and records about the development of video games in the 80’s and 90’s. Every episode shows different elements like the massification of Nintendo in America; the creations of the fighting games, the first RPG games, etc.

There is no main character because each episode is about a different theme but always related to video games. It’s only 6 episodes of 45 minutes, so you can see the show while you carry out another activity, because you don’t necessarily have to be totally focused on it.

I think that if you like the videogame world or you just want to learn about, this series is perfect, it doesn’t delve much into the subject, but it does provide very interesting data about the old’s games and its creators. Also, like an extra tip or curiosity, the series is narrated by Charles Martinet, who also make the voice of Mario, in the Super Mario franchises, what’s better?

Summer, 2012

 Well, my family hardly ever go on vacation, because my parents are hard-workers so, they don't have many free-days and my older sister and older brother have different lifestyle of us with different time, so we don't see us a lot. But, the last vacation or holidays that we have together that I remember, was the 2012 summer. 

We traveled to Puerto Montt, in the south of Chile, in a car for 16 hours straight, to go to some auntie's house for 5 days. In that city, we went to natural park and I saw for first time a "copihue", the national flower, also I went to a lake, but the water was so cold that I spend the evening in the lake edge.

After that, we leave Puerto Montt and we visit a lot of cities as we "went up" through the country to the capital, like Osorno, Valdivia, Villarica, Temuco, Concepción and some little cities like Lebu, Niebla, Nacimiento, Constitución. Also, we spend some days in Cobquecura, the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake and we saw the earthquake damage, both structural like in the houses as in the rise and fall of the tide.

The land of the rising sun

 I have never traveled out of the country, I have also never traveled by plane, but since I was a child, I always want to go to Japan.

I heard about the country when I was 6 years old, in a documentary film about animation, and since that day my heart race for the japanese animation and culture.

During my high school, I went to Japanese classes to learn about the language and the culture, I learned to read hiragana, katakana and basic kanji, and also I prepared for an exam to go to study on a scholarship to Japan, but that never happen for personal reasons.

I want to go for a certain period of time, hopefully in spring, to go to festivals and some celebrations, visit some temples, etc. but I know that the Japanese people are very closed with foreigners, so I don't want to live there more than one year, maximum. And, always have a fear that because the global warming, the country disappear, so, I hope that one day make my day come true.
