A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

I would really like to go to Japan because I wanted to go there since when I was a child, I really liked Japanese animation, on this drawn characters you can see the streets and cities of Tokyo and get a glimpse of what is like, this really made me excited and to this day I still want to go somewhere in the future when I work.

Japan got these beautiful shrines, so a lot of people go and pray to the gods, this without counting all the festivals (matsuris) and the gastronomy that you can find in them, I think this part of Japanese culture is beautiful.

I would like to live in there a short period of time because a few of the old people from there haven't adapted to these times of accepting foreigners on the country, and can be hard at times to grt a job there, but to be there for a few months and try to know as many places as possible would be amazing. I would especially like to know the most rural part of this country since it is very quiet in that part compared to the noisy and at the same time explore its landscapes.

Viña del Mar's Trip

My trip to Viña del Mar was the February 8th, 2020, this summer was amazing because I didn't remember going to this place ever (my parents told me a lot of times that I went when I was a child but my memory is the worst). I recall this a very short trip cause we end up staying just two nights, the reason for this was that the grandmother of my boyfriend was very sick so we had to rush to Santiago quick and comfort her or finally know she had a badly treated disease in her stomach, it's clear that all of us in the trip (my boyfriend's family) were really disappointed, you can tell by the look of our faces, but it would be egoistic to be mad about that. 
But recalling the good things, the first day we rushed myself, my boyfriend and his brother to the coast, we had so much just thinking we were going to see the beach (especially me) that in the bus we laughed a lot, talking about silly things or being scared to get lost. When we finally arrived, I take off my shoes, feel the sand on my feet and finally getting in the water. Hours passed, our skins were getting sunburned, we took photos and then we got back home in the crazy buses to the beach (I think that part was the most funny for us, it it was like being in an attraction park). 
To finish this trip we packed our clothes and got back to Santiago where the weather was very hot, but I appreciate that I finally go to a trip with my boyfriend for the first time ever in our 5 years of relationship.

People should be aware of Fast Fashion

Fashion is a topic I am very fascinated about. I can say that clothes are essential to express part of my personality, I like combining styles, looking for inspiration online, see what other people are wearing on the street, choosing the right pattern, etc. Even if you aren't so interested it's an important way of showing part of yourself. If you are wear a lot of Nike t sweatshirt it can be appeared that you like that brand or a t shirt says that you like a certain band. So, as an important part of society, clothing sells a lot. Actually, 62 million tons of clothing are expected to be created each year

Fast fashion are chain retailers who make garments in a short period of time to put in to sell fast in the various clothing racks in retail. The problem is with the word fast, we mean that it's not going to last very long in our wardrobe. They make trendy clothes quick, cheap and disposable.  The brands who make these clothes are everywhere and probably  you already buyed something from  h&m, adidas, topshop, etc. But what I really mean by exposing this information it's the problem with the new way of making clothes.

The average woman is buying 50 new pieces of clothes a year just to wear it a few times and it  ends up not even wearing it and this have a huge cost. Some of the reasons to this are, for example, the bad working conditions in factories that made these clothes, most of workers are impoverished woman in countries like China that pay very low and have few rights.  

Besides this issue, it's one that affects the whole world; the damage that gives to the planet environment. In 2015 textil production created more greenhouse gases than international flights and maritime shipping combined. (The Guardian, Dec 29 2018) The process of making certain clothes like cotton also takes a ridiculous amount of water, meaning that a simple jacket can need tons of liters of water (with synthetic textile its worst). And we aren't even taking a deep look in the problem, what we do with so much clothes? The average American throws away 84 pounds of clothes a year.

What I'm trying to say with this post is that you  should be more conscious the moment you are about to buy clothes and think twice, I'm not saying that you should not buy any clothes, just try thinking, Do I really need this? I love this item? It's really versatile? Am I going to wear it for more than one occasion? could I get easily this second hand instead of retail? Etc.

Make sure you love all your especial pieces and wear them often! Think about all the things that this industry do to the planet and contribute a grain to climate change.
