The transport would never be the same


My experience about this transport system that changes the way to travel across the city for millions of citizens it´s a little bit convenient for me because i have a bus route that pass over my street and it drives me home easier and faster than the older transportation system.
I also think that Transantiago´s driver are kind that the older system driver that didn´t respect old people or students and also makes races in the street for having more passengers and earn more money than the other bus.
When it started, it was very confusing for all the people, that was used to take the bus wherever they want and they want that the bus stops in the front of their houses, but in Transantiago, it have to wait in a designed area, get on the bus with a fully loaded pre paid card called BIP!, that minors the chance of the drivers of being robbed on the bus.
But the great achievement of this transport is became a more easy way of travel the city, maybe a little more longer than the other system, but more safety, cheaper, because you can take 3 buses for the the same price

facing the all blacks




One of my dreams is to travel around the world, but one of the interesting countries that i want to visit will be New Zealand, because this country have a lot of different landscapes, in one day you might be able to go to a snow centre, and the other day you can go to the beach and practice surf (or bodyboarding in my case) but another of the great things that i want to realize in my visit to NZ will go to a rugby training of the well known New Zealand All Blacks, multi-champions of rugby and also know because of a tribal dance that they do before the matches called haka (also known as Haka Maori, because all the polinesian people do it like a tradition). this tribal dance will be performed by the entire team, to scare the opponents and like a tradition of the all blacks games.
Maybe one day I could travel to this lovely country, but in the meantime, I will try to learn how to do a haka, if I will have the chance of be in a training day with this team and follow all the steps and know the song, to become a real all black. Maybe I will be a dreamer, but in the maory tradition, the hairy man is the meaning of a brave one, I´m hairy, body, head and other parts of my body that in this minute i can´t reply.
One day, i will have the money and the time, or because of my future job i will be able to know face to face the NZ All Blacks... first i will put a video of the entire dance
