Chile´s bicentennial year.-Blog 8.

With the start of each new year is a part of the history of each country to be built, which is marking the idiosyncrasies and ways of life of a nation. Each year is different and are characterized by different situations, but certainly not 200 years old meets every day, so that our country has been preparing this event for some time, but certainly no one imagine what would happen in the year of our bicentennial.


From the day they proclaimed our independence, 12 February 1918, we have been busy as a nation we have marked our way of speaking, eating, living, etc. In those days, where we received all the influence of the Spanish people were field-based indigenous agriculture and animal care. Now surely, filled with technology all around us taking over from each household are very few who follow this tradition. What if it continues even in these days is the influence of other countries, but is now more than anything in youth, if we walk through the center of any city youth are influenced by Japanese fashion, others by the Nazis, punks, regueatoneros ( fashion comes from Central America), other metal, etc.

In addition, all episodes experienced in the course of these years we have as a free nation have marked our politics and economics, is how we live in a military coup that divided the country into two, almost live a war with Argentina, we have host a World Cup, and we have overcome the din of nature such as floods and earthquakes. This is how our society has been formed as a united nation that suffers with the pain of our compatriots and solidarity in difficult moments, which was demonstrated this year when it was the earthquake took place in February and help Chile'' to Chile,''the suffering that all Chileans feel when we see 33 peers at the bottom of the earth and will return to do with the telethon in December.




Thus has been living the year of the bicentennial of Chile, full of surprises and life situations that we never thought we was breaking a vine festival marking the summer of all Chile experienced a major earthquake in the central and southern our country. Followed when our beautiful land northward drink to 33 miners leaving aside both celebrations on 18 September each year. Even missing the great event of the telethon in which all Chileans are united and show great solidarity, we hope that when he finishes the year of our bicentennial not given us more surprises and begin to write another wonderful year of our history as a free country , a free Chile.
