News from the guardian

I chose a news about the human traffic in the UK.
According to it, the traffic of persons into the UK has rised in the last few years. They are 300 children being traded a year in the UK.

Criminal and organized gangs from China, Vietnam, Nigeria, Slovakia and Romania make human trade and use their victims for sex, labour and domestic slavery, but they also force children to get into crime and even street begging. And, as in a science fiction book, the UK has recently had its first organ harvesting cases, with one case with a victim whose kidneys were planned to be sold by his captors...

The interesting thing is that the UK government has started an entire plan to avoid an solve this huge problem. For example, they have been educating the airlines workers and border staff to be able to identify those that can be victims of trafficking.
But even more important is that the government is working with those countries governments too to solve the problem right in its source by changing their laws 
On the other side, there's also an organized system to help victims and support them through the justice process.

Favourite movie

My favourite movie is an argentinian one, "El secreto de sus ojos", "the secret in their eyes", the name in english..
It was released in 2009, and i simply love it. For me it has it all, it´s a suspense but at the same time romantic and even politic story. The movie developes everything around a crime: a full in love man who loses his wife, and about the lawyer getting involved so deeply that his own life turned out to be absolutely changed and influenced by that homicide.
It also has great music and a bunch of the best argentinian actors, starting with Ricardo Darin, who has an extraordinary taste to pick his movies (i truly recommend watching "9 reinas" and "un cuento chino", they are great too) and Soledad Villamil, but also amazing performances for the secondary characters, like Guillermo Francella. He is mostly known in his country for being a great tv humorist, but in this movie his performance is absolutely incredible, it's like you forget it's Francella acting there because the character he plays is totally different from what you could' ve seeen from him before.
Well i think i also like it so much because i was living in Buenos Aires by the time it was on the cinemas, and i have great memories just walking to the cinema with friends, and the walk back, talking about how great the movie was.
The movie won the Oscar award for best foreign language film that year, so, even though in the last few years sometimes Oscars are not a great measure of how good a movie is, this time i totally agree..

Great holidays memory

I've had many great holidays in many different places with friends and family, but if i had to say wich one is very meaningful i would say the scout camp on summer 2005...
We went to Mincha, a very little town in the north, i think in the 4th region, i wouldn't even know how to get there now..., we got there in a bus and we left in a bus, and usually we didn´t pay much attention on the road...
It was so hot, and so dry.., and we didn´t make the camp right beside the town, so we had to walk like 3 kms every two or three days to buy food, and get drinkable water. We stayed there for about 15 days, just doing games, making some fun activities, singing, talking, or just hanging around..
We were so tired and starving! at the final days we just wanted to eat proper food, and something sweet (chocolate!, cookies!.. what ever...we even ended up eating the chocolate powder for the milk with our hands like if we had never tried something so good)

In scout we were organized in small groups of around ten girls, with whom you share a tent, cook, and all that kind of stuff, eventhough all the activities were with all the other girls. Around 40 or 45 girls camping in the middle of, almost, nothing..

It sounds awfull, i know..
but it was the best, and is so meaningful to me because it wasn´t about an incredible place, it wasn´t about doing crazy and amazing things.., it was just about beeing young girls, with nothing to worry about but that moment. And at the same time, we knew we were getting older, we knew there weren´t going to be many more camps like that one, or the many ones we had before that one, me and my friends there we were already 15 years old, and for the next long summer camp we would be 16...and the thing is, when you grow up you end up losing the naive and childish you , whatever you like it or not

Well, that´s all.. As it´s obviuos, i just to be scout, i spent almost every single saturday afternoon in a park just "beeing a scout", i'm not anymore, but, eventhough many people find it silly, they don´t know anything about it, for me it was such a great an amazing experience i will always remember, and that's why that holiday was so important, because it resumed it all.., basically, now i remember it as an extract  of everything that was important at that moment.., like a time machine that gets me to what beeing a young girl or a "teenager" was

Where i would like to go...

Well, the hard answer i think is where wouldn't i wanna go...
 I think i would chose India. Actually it's not because i have a special interest on India but mostly because i feel atractted to any country where i think i can be trully amazed, and i mean amazed in the sense of feeling that the way life is there has nothing to do with the way countries influenced by european and occidental culture live life and think life is all about.
And i guess that's how it is in many Asian countries, actually that's how i felt when I went to Bolivia, in some places you could feel like people there are so different, like if life there had another "tempo", another taste..,and i think that might be even more powerful in Asia, and why India?, well, beacause all the people i know that has been there say it's such an amazing place, you either end up loving it or hating it strongly, and also because is so big, it's almost like an entire continent in one country. I don't know a lot about it, but the fact they just to be an english colony, and how they got their freedom, and also how little they were influenced by England in terms of their culture is very shocking and interesting., So well.., i hope i'll visit it sometime, but i don´t think i would go to study or live there, even though i like traveling for long periods, so... a couple of months at least..
