OCARINA by Garita Dahamary

OCARINA

I had the opportunity to take a course to learn ocarina in San Cristóbal de las Casas, which was given by the friend of the teacher laughs watanabe and two other friends who came from Japan, Shōno Fumiya and the teacher (I do not remember his name ), were in charge of giving classes on the bamboo flute.

 I tried to play the bamboo flute but it was very difficult for me then I tried the ocarina, which was given to me and it was a new experience, along with the friend of the profane Rie, the ocarinas were brought by the friend of the profane Rie.

We had the opportunity to present ourselves at the Na Bolom Museum, there was our participation first and then the participation of bamboo flute And not only were they there, but also violinists had been invited which they could play in the recital, as well as the talented teachers that we had been given in the course, as the friend of the Watanabe teacher Shōno Fumiya and her teacher giving us an incredible experience.

 After this we were given the opportunity to dance, obviously a very quiet dance, nothing extravagant and I had the opportunity to take a picture with Shōno Fumiya but unfortunately I could not do the same with his teacher, this was a beautiful experience that I will keep in my mind.

THE MOST MAGICAL TRIP.    By Esteban Félix Espinosa 1A

 2 years ago, my family and I traveled to Cancun, where my older sister lives.  For me, it has been the most beautiful trip I've ever had with my family.  We went in the beginning of december of 2017, and we stayed until january of 2018.  As good mexicans, the first thing we did when we arrived, was having lunch.  Then, we looked for the house we had been booked.  The first days of our vacations weren't funny at all, because the morning was ruined by the rain, so we couldn't go out, but after a couple days, it was sunny all day, and we enjoyed the beach and the nature.  We visited Isla Mujeres and Playa del Carmen, because those places were recommended by many people to us, so we didn't want to lose that opportunity.  At Christmas, we celebrated with some best friends of my sister, my aunt and my cousin.  On New Year's day, a couple of americans joined us to spend the night with us, and they were very friendly, without any doubts, it was the best holiday ever.

I MET THE BIG APPLE BY TADEO

Two years ago I went to the United States for the first time, I felt very excited because that was my dream.

I visited three states there, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago, but now I want to talk about my stay in one of the cities. New York City has been called many things, but for me the name that represents it is the city that never sleeps.

I think that being there is one of the best things that has happened to me in life, I was getting to know very famous places that are the essentials of a tourist. each place had something in particular, the streets walked by many people in time square and central park, the observatory above the empire state, people boarding the subway, I visited museums like MOMA, MET among others, I walked along 5th avenue and I photographed everything I could. It was an incredible experience and I plan to return soon.

HI! now I am going to talk about my travel to merida for first time in my live, I was 11 years old but i remember that very clear because I was so excited....
i have not traveled a lot since i was born , that is the reason i did not have any razon what or how merida looks,when my family and me get there I realized that  I have some family there and they were completely unfamiliar to me anyway I had a lot of fun all the time, we really enjoy the beach so due to the sun I got burned my skin to much... but  I tried to ignore it although it hurt me :)
I ate many  things like shrimp,fish and other i did not remeber as much as I could also I picked up some seashell because I used to collect them, during the trip I had some differents experiences every single moment was so good pleasant but there is one that is not hilarious and was so kind o weird well my ankle was bite by a little grab an it did not feel good , i think only was a little corious grab that had ravenous and desesperated for getting some food though deffinetely my ankle was not a kind of food.... finally it was one of the best experiences on my lige and I expect in the future to go one more time. :) it was made by jessica montserrat galdamez Ruiz 1 A

Why i think Borderlands is one of the best games for playing with friends

As soon as I fired up the looter shooter I was greeted with a simultaneously understated yet awesome opening cinematic. My friend kike, and co-op partner in crime, decided it warranted multiple viewings. We chose our characters, decked them out with a small selection of customization options, and began our new adventure. I picked Maya the Siren, because I like to have control of the enemies and help my friends. He chose the Commando, Axton, because he enjoys using automated turrets to obliterate his enemies.

Borderlands 2 is built specifically for cooperative play. The main menu doubles as a matchmaking lobby, displaying what your friends are doing, what classes they are playing, and what mission they are working on. Starting a local or online co-op session is simple. I’ll sum it up by saying that you can play online with up to four players, locally with two players via split screen, and the game supports combo co-op. This means my friend and I can play split screen with two other online players. We can even take our local game online with another couple who are also playing split screen. Yes, that’s four players on two systems. 

Our story begins with- wait, wait, wait. I’m not going to ruin the story for you. You’ll want to experience it for yourself. While the original Borderlands had some great writing and colorful humor, at times it lacked direction and had a rather anticlimactic ending. Sure, the DLCs expanded on the fiction of Pandora, but the core game’s plot was a little disjointed.

Borderlands 2 still features the same absurd, over-the-top-humor. Non player characters (NPCs) are animated, making them feel like more than just a Bounty Board with a face. Some characters actually walk around Sanctuary, the main city and your home.

All of the major NPCs from the first Borderlands make an appearance, including some favorites from the DLC packages. You’ll encounter Claptrap, Scooter, Marcus, and many more, new and old. They’re all written well and often hilarious. This helps disguise the fact that most missions they'll send you on are simple fetch quests that include murderizing all the bad guys in the area. The original Vault Hunters are also incorporated into the story, and they are used remarkably well. 

You are going to love-hate this guy. 

One of the shining stars of Borderlands 2 is Handsome Jack, the villainous, sharp-tongued leader of the Hyperion Corporation. While the original Borderlands lacked a proper antagonist, Jack is the perfect embodiment of an omniscient evil. His giant space station looms over Pandora like a futuristic Eye of Sauron. He’ll frequently contact you through your ECHO device (basically a phone) to hurl insults and mock your efforts.

Once we were armed and had talked to a few characters we sunk our teeth into the actual game. Like the first Borderlands, our action skills didn’t unlock until we reached level five. As soon as my Phase lock skill popped I began to build the character that complimented my play style. Certain classes lend themselves toward particular strategies and weapons, but if you want to build a rocket Assassin or a shotgun Siren, feel free to experiment. You can always respec (reset) skill points for a small fee. 

The gameplay of Borderlands 2 is familiar, yet refined. I played the game solo, as part of a duo, and with three and four players. As a single player game, I found the game to be a satisfying treasure hunt. I took my time and explored the wilderness of Pandora. Gone are the brown junkyards and barren wastelands. Okay, there are still plenty of  junkyards and wastelands, but now green vistas and icy tundras break up the desolate landscapes. The lonely Pandoran twang of the music was familiar, and when the rhythm stepped up I knew I was in for a real fight. For my solo run I played as Zer0, the Assassin. His ability to snipe and displace using his Deception cloaking skill is great for solo play. Also, he’s a ninja. So there.

First trip to the lakes of Monte Bello By: Saraí Jiménez Martínez 1"A"

Lakes of Montebello Chiapas is a National Park created for the conservation of soils.The park is located within the boundaries of two municipalities, La Trinitaria and Independencia, in the state of Chiapas,  I visited the lakes last summer together with my family. we had never gone like this because we decided to hire a tour guide, the lakes have guides that are the same inhabitants of the place obviously certified to be able to take a walk.

First  my family and I went to take a raft tour and go to each of the lakes take lots of pictures, the rafters of the place give tours that cost from $ 100 to $ 300 mxn depending on the duration of the same. I did not swim in the lakes because the water was cold for me but it is possible to swim if you want.In this place you can make tours in rustic rafts that the inhabitants themselves have made with pine trunks, you can also practice camping and walk even walking.

I recommend you bring a towel and sunscreen if you want to take a bath in one of the lakes, they allow you to bathe in Tziscao and montebello, in pojoj and 5 lakes. 

Then my family and I bougth souvenirs from the stores that it sells there and we ate chiapaneca food and finally at night we returned to San Cristobal to rest. 

This place is one of the most beautiful I've known; the experience of rafting on the lake is wonderful. Personally, I had never seen such a beautiful color in the water, the workers who are in the rafts are not a company if not local people that pleased me a lot, the route and the explanations they give you are adequate.

I am from Oaxaca and I have been to Chiapas many times but I have never been to the lakes and it has been one of the best trips I have had in my life,If you have not gone and have the opportunity to go I recommend them.

Trip to the Lacandon jungle. By Valeria Gómez Enríquez.

During my high school, my group and I went to different places in the state of Chiapas, my two favorites were the trip to practice Adventure tourism and the other one to the Lacandon jungle.

On the first trip we went to Tziscao lake and Xbulanja, in Tziscao we did kayaking and in Xbulanja we did rafting, during these two activities I was very scared but after do in it I was very happy for the experience I had just lived.

Years later, in our last semester we went to different places near or in the Lacandon jungle, the first place we visited was Tonina, there we walked a lot but at the end all that effort was worth it , also we had a very nice guide I don’t remember his name but I remember that he told us that he worked with the people who discovered the ruins also he showed us everything that was found during the excavations.

Then we camp at a campsite in Metzabok, we spend the night there, the next day we woke up early to visit the lagoon, on that they we met Don Juanito, a native Lacandon he barely spoke Spanish but his son helped us to communicated with him, they took us to the other side of the lagoon and after that we walked to a viewpoint that was at the top of the hill, there we also walked a lot, during our walked Don Juanito was showing us different plants and the different uses they have, it was awesome.

The next day we went to Bonampak to see the ruins and the murals that are there, our guide explained us a little bit of the history of the people that lived there, all the wars and the meanings of the murals.

Those are some of my favorites places we visited on this trip, I remember this trip with great love because it was the last one we did as a group and we had a great time doing the different activities and getting to know new places and new people.
