Money

If I won $10 million dollars in the Lottery, the first thing I would do is call my bank and a lawyer. After that, I would plan the rest of my life. I would give $1 million dollars to my father and my sister. I would give $1 million to my extend family (uncles, aunts, some cousins and grandmother). For me, I would spend $2 million dollars travelling around the world and buying a big house in Chile. Also, I want to give $1 million dollars to poor people or foundations to help people or animals. The rest of the money, I want to do a very organized person and don´t try to spend inmediately all the money. Maybe, I would ask to expert people to help me to invest part of my money. I like too, share with my best friends half a million dolar and try to help them paying the University, and probably, I will not continue working with and employer. Really, I hope to win the Lottery!! What about you?

Crime

               

If someone asks me, do you like Calgary? I answer, "Yes, I like." I think is one of the safest and honest cities that I known. You can walk alone at night, buy something with your credit card, and get money in the atm without worried that someone astonishingly is going to con, steal or kill you. Compare with my country it is different, but, sometimes, depend of the city where you live. The civilian police is the PDI, Investigations Police in Chile, who are worried in criminal investigation and law enforcement, in murders, corruption and domestic violence; according to information found on the internet in 2012 Chile had a murder rate of 3,1 per 100.000 population, about 550 murders that year; however, they investigate other cases too like antinarcotics, robbery, economic  crimes, and cybercrimes. Other entity is the military police "Carabineros de Chile". Both of them have interesting websites who help you and give recommendations how you can stay safe, how to report a crime and fraud, and tips to avoid them including about protecting your kids, at work, on the internet, and give you information about dangerous criminals. In spite of this help, you always need to be careful. However, nowadays, I prefer to stay here in Calgary because I feel happy, more protected and safe. Do you agree with me?





Extrem Sport

                  Do you know that Dakar in Chile is very important event? I want to present you a very famous person who participated in rallies worldwide like Dakar Rally and Rallye des Pharaons. He is Carlo de Gavardo Prohens. He was a Chilean motorist and motorcyclist. Years ago a journalist asked him how he started his passion to ride motorcycles and he answered "My grandfather was the person who began all. He had always prepared his baggage to travel somewhere. I remember too he gave me a National Geographic's book which I started to see the maps and rutes of different countries." He began his active participation where he won the Enduro National Championship between 1986 and 1994. In 1996 until 2004 he participated in every Dakar. He had a lot of accidents, but he continued his career. He said "I always see my X-Rays and I think if you are motivated, you will have the strength to carry on." He received two fair-play awards: IOC, International Olympic Committee, and International Motorcycling Federation. Between 2008 and 2009 he began to compete in Dakar with Hummer. He died of a cardiopulmonary arrest while he was riding his bike in Chile, at 45 years old. What do you think, it's dangerous sport or not?
