In my trip to look up of neighborhoods I found a place where I lived before santa barbara located in the 122-125 and in back of the mall of unicentro, it is a nice choose to live, it have parks, it is near a huge mall, it is near principal streets to get a easier transportation.


In this neighborhood, are new flats also are remodeling the old ones, it is well located, and also there are parks, malls, churches, markets, stores and everything you need is in the around the corner and if you do not have car, do not worry you do not have to walk to much to found what are you looking for.


in my opinion it is a nice choose to live, i would choose it, it is nice you can found what you want, there are multiple and different stores of different things, it is a great place to life it is one of my favorite places to visit.

neighborhoods!! atabanza

In my trip to find the neighborhoods I found atabanza, located in the 122, it had a huge church and near of the street is found a "caño".


this neighborhood had a lot of flats that are together and make like a type of a tiny neighborhoods and have parks inside of them, there are some old and new flats, but flats are getting remodeling and getting better. 


In my opinion y do not like this neighborhood because at nights it is to dark and also dangerous it does not have like markets near and it does not have a mall near, if i would choose a place to life i would look up for something else.

LIBRERIA TEMISS S.A

LIBRERIA 
TEMISS S.A

ok, in my trip to seen the libraries, I had go to a small but nice library near my home, it is located in the calle 116 with 19 near at the corral, so I think that this is so nice, because you can go after seen some book go and have lunch in the corral that had nice hamburgers, but the topic is not about the corral but it is about this tiny library. 
 this library is tiny if you go to the enter gate it looks tiny but inside of this library is had more space, the book I found I think that are not for everyone that looks one book, what I mean is that they do not have diversity of topics, another thing is the opening time, if you go here you can found it many times closed as the Sundays, and the attention is nice but not perfect.


my opinion about this library is that is not the perfect one, and if I need to choose some library I will not choose this one because, the most of the time it is not open, also there are not too much topics of book and things that other libraries have, so I prefer another libraries but it is a good option for people that live near this place.

Museums

In the museums of Bogotá we can find a lot but we are going to recommend 3 of the museums of Bogotá, down you can see the pictures.





In the museums we are going to tell you from top to below so the orders of the museums are on the writing of them.

1.The first museum we can see is the museum of gold that is located at 16th street, in this museum we can see a collection of gold, is the best in the world, with a lot of figures of gold from the muiscas pre-Columbian tribe that lived in this place and that used the sun as a god. In been more specific we can see that there are objects of the Quimbaya, Calima, Tayrona, Sinu, Muiscas, Tolima, Tumaco and Magdalena.

In this museum the visitors are very interest and grateful for the information given by the museum which include a lot of the Colombian ancestral story and about how those cultures affected our actual civilization, also the people say that is great because the museum give papers for reading and looking for more information about this story that the museum represent.

One of the most interesting aspects is that as having the biggest collection of gold in the world a lot of person can see the different traditions that the Colombian territory had, also how the Spaniards that came to Colombia tried to destroy this traditions that is now seen in the Colombian gold museum, the greatest exposition of the pre-Columbian cultures.


2. The other 3 pictures are of the museum of the Chico, it is located at the 7th street, in this place we can see that the thing that highlight is the wall that represent a part of the hacienda de Chico, in this museum there is a collection of old period of Colombia, we can see that is a lot of paintings and art pieces that represent the periods of Colombia.

In this museum we can see the Spanish building process in Latin America, and how this presence was seen in the past Santa Fe, also we can see a lot of the Spanish culture in a museum that is inside, actually this place is seen as a meeting point in which you have to do an appointment for doing meeting, like marriages, first communions and funerals.

One of the interesting aspects for this museum is that we can see a lot of the colonial time objects, like paintings, sculptures, papers, a lot of things we can see, also the thing that is attractive in this place is the time this building has remained in the city, because the Spaniards building it very well, so nowadays it is a national architectural monument. 

3. In the last 2 pictures we can see the national museum of Colombia, it is located at the 7th street, this museum shows all the history of Colombia and Bogotá, it has objects from 10,000 B.C and has over 20.000 objects of the county, this museum was made in 1823,it represents a lot of things, such important is this museum that in 1975 was declared historical monument.

This museum is one of the most important, or maybe the most important museum in the whole country, that represents the whole Colombian territory history, form the prehistoric time to the know days historical events, so in this museum we can see the things the Colombians have, had, and maybe the things we can have, this is why the museum is great.

This museum shows the times of the Colombian people, such as the arrival of the nomads from North America and their establishment, also the colonization of the territory by the Spaniards that came from Europe to look for Asia, other things we can see are the independence and the way Colombia have raise like a country in the world.

and it was made in 1847 in the presidential period of Tomas Cipriano de Mosquera, it is made in blonde stone with a lot of legacy of workers, it have 6 columns of the roman style, also is a very important monument of history not just for the period of time the building it has still in the place, but also because the monument represent how our libertadores had worked for our independence and that their sacrifice wasn’t in vain.

for me the national capitol is a very interesting place because it represents the Colombian democracy and the power of the people in the government, also i can say that this places is where you can see a lot of the real life style of the Bogotans, because we can differ this type of building from other places styles, just because the Bogotans have a unique technique of building, so that shows that the Bogotans have done a highlighted culture and costumes by just showing this building.

2. The plaza de Bolivar is a very important historical place, it is located at the 7and 8 avenue with 10 and 11 streets, it is important because in this place has been Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada. Also the killing of some comuneros at the power of José Antonio Galan and always saved the echo of the independence yell of July 20 of 1810, that later would be won by the creoles and making this great nation

when the Christmas come to the world this place gets decorated with a lot of lights, in which we can highlight that the figures made by this lights are the crosses, saints, and Jesus, which represents how the Christians in Bogotá like this place, including that they are a majority in Bogotá, making this place a very interesting theme for visiting Bogotá.

festivals/events

In the festivals of Bogota you can satisfy your needs because Bogota as been the capital city of Colombia you can know a lot of the Colombian culture, in this place you can see that there are a lot of festivals, but in this case we are going to see 4 festivals/events of this city:

rock al parque: in this city is an special weekend for the all lovers of rock, in which come special guests from all the world, such as Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, France, USA and other, also you can highlight that there are also guest from the country. If you want to participate in the festival you can audition to be part of the festival, it is in the parque Simon Bolivar.

One of the greatest festivals from Latin America is in Colombia, this festival include a lot of cultural events such as the good biodiversity in the rock gender, so you can see a lot of rock stars in which make the national and international people to be very happy at the time of listening the rock, also the people is great and very respectful with you.

In the most good-looking way the rock al parque festival is great, one thing i can say about how great is the festival is that when you listen to rock the people begin to be like one, joining together their qualities and the people begin to take away their difference, so this music makes people to be more tolerate and to be more unite.
Hip Hop al parque: For my personal choice is very good this festival to all the lovers of hip hop, because you can see people dancing break-dance, DJs making tracks and accompany the MCs that sings their rhymes, but also the other thing that is great is the people going graffiti.

also the greatest thing in this festival is that you can see a lot of  people improvising and doing beat box, but the best thing is when famous rappers USA come in the night to sing their singles of their greatest albums, but I think people should go, also because you can find all the discs you want.

An other great thing is when in the night when people is arriving from all parts of the world, when you see this people you can see how the hip hop culture expands through the world, and how people put interest in this movement, but one thing that always makes real rappers mad are the people who goes to the festival for making a bad impression of the culture, but in general, the festival is very great.
Festival of Bogota: The festival of Bogota celebrates the day when Bogota was founded, in which makes all the Bogotans to be very happy because all the residents love their city, the greatest thing is that all the people from all the country comes to see our party and celebrate with us, also you can see that people see how the people is happy in this city.

this festival is very interesting not only because this day makes Bogotans to be more happier, no, this festival is great because makes all the great times and culture of Bogotá to flourish, so people can see how the well know ¨Roles¨ are not bored and that Bogotá is not only for the Bogotans but also for the rest of the world, because this city is a multicultural place.

One thing I can say about the festival is that first the street begins to be a good dancing place, so you can see that people love Bogota, because this city has threat and receive them in a good way so people is very happy with everything, also you can see that the city is very old so seeing that your city still in the place the founders leave it.

Now you can see which choose of these ones you want to go.

Cinemas

In my trip to the cinemas near my house i found two special cinemas that are very nice and very funny the two cinemas are the one of cinecolombia in multiplex cedritos in the cedritos mall in cll 151  and the other one is in palatino, a very nice mall.First,i am going to talk about Multiplex Cedritos


.In Multiplex cedritos you can have fun with your friends and family watching the latest movies that are on demand.Premieres and all Hollywood cinema is in there.Multiplex ceditos is never full, even if the  movie is the best,that`s why this multiplex is the best.Multiplex cedritos also offers priveleges to the handicapped  people having elevators in the correders,also food so you can enjoy the movies while you are eating a delicious hotdog or a sandwich,and of course popcorn.if you are looking to have fun,to avoid long lines and don´t let the crowd doesn´t bother you,multiplex cedritos definetely is your choice.


if you like glamour and elegance you can go to the Palatino mall and go to procinal palatino but i have to warn you,the lines are long. in these video the pressident of cinecolombia


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8qCjoTOtII



The Prices

Talking about the costs and prices,we could say that cinecolombia cedritos is a little more expensive than the prices of the cinemas in procinal palatino,still if you have the cinecolombia card,but in my personal opinion the prices are ok like that because in cinecolombia the chairs are more comfortable and the food is better.

For being sure that your choice is gonna be ok,you have to take into account the good things and the bad things of each one of the cinemas,im gonna help you with these chart with some little aspects about each one so i can help with your choice.




About the food

for going to cinema is not only important how confortable you are or the movie,but i think but for me and for some of you cinema is not cinema withoth food,obviusly the more popular product is the popcorn but is good to analyze some extra products like the chocolate or other products for complementing the delicious popcorn.

In both places there are hotdogs and sandwiches,but i think that the great difference is in the candies and accesories.in my personal opinion the food in procinal refering to variety is better because they have ice cream,kisses,hersheys and a lot more but cinecolombia is better because the popcorn have a better flavor and is cheaper than in procinal,but in food both of the cinemas are excellent and you are not going to be dissapointed from the food.these is one example of combo 3 in procinal.for more information you visit:www.procinal.com.co/confiteria.
