A serie I would recommend

Imagen
Hello Everyone, I'm very excited about todays topic because watching movies and series it's a thing I really enjoy. Today I'm going to recommend a serie that I watched last year (and actually this year I watched it again) and that I liked a lot. Top Boy is a t.v. serie that it's written and created by Ronan Bennett, who created the script after interviewing young people from the London working class quarter of Hackney for a few years. The serie main characters are Dushane and Sully, who had live all their lifes in Summerhouse (a neighborhood inspireds by Hackney). They are two young men that sell drugs to survive the hard life of the lower class. They start by being small dealers but in the course of the story they gain more power, but at the same time more troubles. In parallel the life of different characters is shown: the reality of what it is like to grow in the neighborhoods like this, in which opportunities are scarce.

Best holidays ever

Imagen
Hello, in today’s blog I will talk about one of my best vacations.  When I left high school I went with my two best friends on vacations. We raised money together working on different things, and we bought bus tickets so we could go to Argentina! Just before traveling I had an accident, which delayed my departure so my friends waited for me in Buenos Aires, and when I arrived they went to pick me up at the terminal. We stayed that night in a hostel and the next day we went to stay at the house of a friend of my aunt. Once we were installed we went to buy spray paint, they were so many cans that the room was full of them, I had never had so much paint together before. We went out to paint every night we were there, to make the most of the time. I had never been on vacation with friends before that and it was one of my best experiences, which I hope to repeat soon.

A country I would like to visit

Hello, how are you all? Today I'm going to talk about the country I would like to travel someday... I have always liked the idea of going to Spain, mainly because of the music. Since I was a child I'v always been influences by spanish music: rap, trap, ska, punk rock, trova, gipsy music etc. I feel very close to the spanish musical scene, because of the themes they talk about. For example, spanish rap talks about topics that are very different from United States' rap. It's the same with punk rock: the content has a more social background, as opposed to United States' groups that are more superficial and comercial. I would like to go to Spain to get to know better about this musical scene and culture. One of the things I like the most is the gipsy influence in the rhythms and melodies, that can be found in all musical genres whether it is rap, trap or rock. I think it's key is in the poetic that is towards the marginal.
