Michoacan

Michoacan is a place where you can have a relaxing, fun and great time. Michocan is located on the south of Mexico; in the green side of this country. I went to Michoacan last week and I had the opportunity of visiting some touristic places in Michoacan and I can say that Michoacan is full of beauty sights. The experience of being in Michoacan is unforgettable because you can find whatever you want within the different towns in Michocan.

In Michoacan there is a town called Uruapan in this town we can find the “Parque Nacional”; it is best known by its river and its different cascades and waterfalls . In this park you can have a relaxing walking and enjoy the different beautiful sights, the variety of vegetation and a breath of clean air. This place is very adequate to have time with the family, to walk around the waterfalls and just admire the magical nature. Another place where you can have a relaxing time is Morelia city, although it is a city you can enjoy a nice time by visiting the different places like the candies museum or the historic center of the city. In the historic center of the city you can see the amazing old buildings or maybe you can go to a café that is actually where people from Michoacan enjoy a cup of chocolate instead of drinking coffee. But if you want adventure you can have it also in Michoacan.

The Zararacua cascade is the perfect place to have fun and to experience with extreme sports. I f you like adrenaline and the extreme adventures you can go to this place. This place is perfect if you like riding. At the beginning of the route you can hire a horse to go down the cascade or if you prfer to go down by walking there is a nice route for you. In contrast, if you would like to have more action yet; the “tirolesa” is like a extreme sport in which you slide through a cable over the cascade so you can enjoy the sight from above. At the end of the tirolesa you can enjoy a cold beer and look the beautiful environment. Also there is a place where you can climb for one side of the cascade; but this is only for professionals because this way is very dangerous. However this is not all that Michoacan offers.

One of the main attractive things in Michoacan is the artistic skills of the people from this place. The crafts what we can find in Michoacan are considered a patrimony for our country. In all the places in Michoacan there is a store or someone who sells beautiful paintings at good price. The paintings, obviously are inspired on the beautiful places in Michocan. Furthermore it is obvious that painters can get attracted with the amazing sights a natural beauty. Another kind of craft is the one made of wood; this amazing crafts, you can find them in a town called Quiroga where the principal economic activity is the selling of their crafts. The Crafts is a different way in which we can find Michoacan as a surprising place.

There is no doubt that Michoacan is an amazing place where you can enjoy with your family a nice time. Michocan is compound by different elements that makes this place unique. The beautiful places with it natural sights and the activities that you can practice there. The old buildings and the museums and its old buildins are one option to admire the culture in Michoacan. The craftsmen in this place are talentful people. In few words Michoacan is nature, culture and history.

4) Conclusion


Through the pass of the years technology has changed my life in different ways. My first contact with a computer was when I was in elementary school; but it is a wide difference of what is now a computer. I used the computer just to type or to use the “paint” program. The computer-based class was very exciting because it was like free time where we had the opportunity of talking with other classmates and having fun. I used to see the computer as something entertaining and just to play with it. Then I noticed how useful a computer could be; but as everything, the computer and Internet have their advantages and disadvantages.
Internet is a useful way of communication but sometimes it could be not as useful as everybody thinks. On internet we can find whatever we want. It is the easier way at the moment of looking for something. Also you can have communication with people from other countries and to know the different cultures around the world. In the dark side of internet, we have the pornography; children have access to these websites and the parental control sometimes is not enough. Also the internet is tool for kidnapping, the kidnapper use other personality to catch his victims. In addition, internet reduces family time, because kids and teenagers spend their time infront of a computer, they have more time with a computer than they have with their parents.
I could say that I have more time in front of a computer than with people. The way how internet has influenced my life is very important. A computer has become the new notebook for me, it has make it easier, and at least one time in a day I am with a computer. My professors ask for sending the homework by e-mail, and we have blogs and moodles to share the assignments. Also the Internet interferes in my social activities. I can have communication with my friends in the messenger or to share photos and whatever I want in facebook or hi-five. Also I can meet new people in chats or blogs. The internet is part of my life and it is becoming more necessarily for me.
The computer is hundred of things at the same time, so that is why is crucial having a computer and also an internet account. If it is so necessary, what do we could expect for future?. In these days we are facing a new era, internet is a basic instrument for education, communication, bussines and entertainment. Then the computer will be the new television, T.V. is going to be in second place. Instead of saying I’m going to see a the news in the T.V. will be: I´m going to check my facebook. Just like T.V. replaced the radio now the computer is replacing the T.V.

Both jobs are very interesting and I like them, but that does not mean that I want to be a photographer or a promoter for the rest of my life, what I really enjoy is to teach English. I am very active, I am always doing something, I am very extrovert and I consider myself as a simple person.

Another experience that changed my life was when I started the career; I met a lot of people and I have learned a lot about what I want to be and to do.

I am always dreaming with many things for the future but I have three main plans that I am sure I am going to make come true. The first one is to finish the career, I want to finish it successfully and with a good grade.
