Typical celebration in Peru

INTI RAYMI

Inti Raymi is one of the biggest and impressive celebrations in Peru; it’s homage to a God in Inca culture called Sun. The celebration takes place at the Ruins Sacsahuaman.

This celebration of  Inti  Raymi goes back almost 450 years. “The Sun was removing, the cold was increasing, in the dawns the water was frosted, therefore, it was necessary to ask him to the Sun to return, that on having striped the morning twilights did not continue advancing towards the north. So, it was necessary to bear witness to the god Inti.”  This is how they explain the Inti Raymi.

 Every year thousands of national and international tourists came especially to see this impressive ceremony, where two llamas are sacrificed. This celebration is celebrated on June 24^th.

Film review Cry Freedom.

                                                                     Cry Freedom 

"Cry Freedom" begins with the story of a friendship between a white liberal South African editor and an idealistic young black leader who later dies at the hands of the South African police. But the black leader is dead and buried by the movie's halfway point, and the rest of the story centers on the editor's desire to escape South Africa and publish a book.

 You know there is something wrong with the premise of this movie when you see that the actress who plays the editor's wife is billed above the actor who plays the black leader. This movie promises to be an honest account of the turmoil in South Africa but turns into a routine cliff-hanger about the editor's flight across the border.

The problem with this movie is similar to the dilemma in South Africa: Whites occupy the foreground and establish the terms of the discussion, while the 80 percent non-white majority remains a shadowy, half-seen presence in the background.

I think the importance of this film is that we're all equal no matter the color of our skin, our religion or our culture and traditions.

Zodiac Sign

                                              

                                                VIRGO

Virgo is a very independent zodiac sing. They are able to put their intelligence to use and get things done for themselves. They may dwell too much on the past and over complicate things. Virgos are one of the main sings to suffer in silence. They internalize a lot of hurt feelings and stress.

People look up to Virgo friends because they are straight thinkers and solve problems logically. They might try to analyze and control a friend’s life but only with the idea that they will improve their life.

Virgos are very intelligent, they have an excellent memory and a highly analytical mind. This makes them good investigators and researches. Before Virgos does something they need to analyze all the facts and know the details before they make a decision. Virgo is ambitious and strives to always know more and have more.

WRITING; Travelling.

Last summer I went to Peru with my family. I always wanted to go, and thanks to my effort I passed all my exams and my parents accepted to go. But we went especially to Machu Picchu.

We took a plane from Casablanca to Paris and from Paris to Peru, exactly in the airport  Lima. Then we took a train to our hotel Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, in Aguas Calientes. The weather was rainy and cloudy. By the next morning we went to Huayna Picchu. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District. According to the guide the top of the mountain was the residence for the high priest and the local virgins. We stayed there all the day. The next days we went to Camino Inca, Winawayna, Templo del Sol and other famous places.

I didn’t like the food, because we don’t eat this kind of food in my country. For example the cuy, bugs, urchins and other food. When we went to some restaurants I only ate salad, fries and some fast food.

It was an amazing experience, I met new people and I made some friends. I talk to them every day, and we are planning to go again to Machu Picchu but alone, without our parents.
