I Chose not choose, and the reasons there`s no fuckin reasons, Who need reasons if you got heroin

Transpotting became almost a cultural phenomenon as soon as it was released in Britain in February 1996. This film is a great work, it was based in a novel of Irvine Welsh writed in 1993. The film is about a group of yonkies friends that live in Scotland. Their favorite hobbies are got some drugs and then went to apartment to enjoy them. One day Renton (Ewan McGregor) decided try to forget her addiction, he try to forger her passion for the heroin, and be average person whit a car and a big television. These decisions are reasoned for the bad consequences and troubles than he and her friends had for to live a yonkie life.
I love this film, because doesn't condemn drug addicts, but it is probably more effective than any amount of preachy moralizing as it depicts the devastating consequences that can happen to drug users (maybe a good lesson to me jajja).
The film is well acted by a cast who has (mostly) become pretty famous since. Especially memorable is Robert Carlyle as the violent Begbie or Ewan McGregor as Renton. The film is directed to Danny Boyle inspired in a Irvine Welsh novel and screenplay it was charged for John Hodge.
This film have a great soundtrack, maybe is one of my favorites soundtracks. The principal song “lust for life” from Iggy Pop, or Just a perfect a day, from the ex Velvet Underground vocal singer Lou Reed are a greats songs then you must have you ear in your mp3.
I have seen this film many times. It is an instant classic. Go check it out.

The situation of Honduras it because of the president Zelaya wanted to make a plebiscite to the citizens where they had to said if they wanted some change in the constitution. This measures scared the conservative sectors because they saw how the carta magna was questioned, with it some privileges in that sector.
In that contexts emerged Michelleti’s figure , coming to defend the most conservative Right interests apparently there still remains an important part of power (such rather than a factual way). In my opinion this character is another one that when democracy does not fit their interests are forgotten and they scorching the authoritarianism.
Regarding Zelaya, is that the other side of this issue. I Support his position, because didn’t anything else that a consult to his people and the pro-coup attacks him . Now this character is not politically represents the left, cause he is a liberal. Despite our differences in this area, we can’t accept more coups in our region, by recent historical experience.

It's hard to know what will come, my studies do not permit me because I’m studying sociology, not futurology, when sociology tried it perhaps it was better when he did. However, the most likely is that Michelleti stays in the power until who knows when, unless it will be a pressure from the north, because they are experts in helping coups deny aid,overthrow, etc.

First of all, tourism is an activity that makes our city very well, definitely.
Santiago has many places, estates and architectural creations to see. In my opinion every corner of our City may be interesting to see and hear your story for tourists.
Forgetting places that obviously would be in a list of a tourist such as La Moneda, Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Constitution,etc. I want to talk about the neighborhoods, because the essence of Santiago is in their neighborhoods, each with identity, architecture and history itself.
Santiago Centro neighborhoods like the pulse of the city in its full expression, where only you can feel it walking around, or Bellavista where we have a open air museum, and Alonso de Cordova is one of the most elegant avenues of the City, or Matucana wich combines streets of residential areas with commercial activity, or Brasil with its colonial buildings, or Lastarria with a mixture of architectural styles. These are places that have to see if you come to visit our city, we must not think of the biggest names or the most widely known buildings, think with an open mind, without prejudices and explore Santiago and activities like the sports, gastronomy, folklore, literature, music, etc to make you feel Santiago, Chile as a Chilean experience.
Finally I think the tourist bus is different than the tourist walking and goes into our culture, I am sure that tourists who walked and made his own tour will return home with more stories, and interesting things to tell and remember.
