Quote

"Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right" Henry Ford.

Why do I choose this quote? well, I feel identified with it. I thought that I was able to came to Vegas, and now I am here, feeling my dream, looking to improve my future,struggling against the odds. This quote is similar to "if you want, you can" quote that I have became in the slogan of my life.

I am trying to explain that, if you fight for something in you life, if you believe in something in your life or if you really want something in you life YOU CAN DO IT. on the other hand, ?If you think that something is impossible for you, you will never do it, maybe it is possible, but you mind thinks that no, consequently you won't do it.

For example; if you think that you can pass your exam, and you study to pass it believing in yourself, you've taken a big step to get it. However, if you think that it's impossible pass your exam, you can study all the time that you want because you will never pass it.

Resuming, you have two different options with two very different results

I CAN



I CANNOT

TOLEDO


Toledo is a small city from Spain, it only have 60.000 people and is the city where I born. Thousand of tourist visit my city every years.
Toledo is very close to Madrid (40 milles), and most of people that go to Madrid visit my city.
In Toledo there are more than 40 hotels and hostels where you can rest, since cheap hostel for the young people, until 5 star hotels for the rich people.

One of the most famous monument is the cathedral, it have one tower and seven doors, and very few days you can see the custody of gold. It was built 1000 years ago, and they were building for more than 200 years.

Other fabolous monument is "el alcazar" it was completely destroyed two times. The first It was destroyed in the 18th century during the War of Succession, After in 1939, in the civil war of Spain, but now it is completely reformed. When you go to "el alcazar" you have to listen the true history about the general Moscardo, and how his soon gave his life for Spain.


Other incredible monument is "San Juan de los Reyes" an old church that is located in the east of the mountain. The most important thing that you can visit in this church it's the pictores of the famoust artist "El Greco". The other pictores are located in Greco's museum, very close to "San Juan de los Reyes"





The city center is "La Plaza de Zocodover" it is the middle of the city and 600 years ago was the center of the world, where the kings met. Nowdays, it is a calm square where the people can walk or drink in itss hige variety of bars.

The most importan fest in Toledo is "el corpus". Thousand of people came to my city to see procession and enjoy eating the local gastronomy. During this week, the monuments of the city are opened in the night, an local and foreing people go to see them. Also the people can see the famous bullfigthers.

interviews


Actually, many people go out of their countries to study English. For this, I had the opportunity to interview two differents students in Vegas.

First of all, I was speaking with Kwon, He is a interesting student from south Korea. His passion in life is to travel. He wants to go to Spain or Nepal, but the best place that he have never been is Egypt. Egypt is wonderful for its desert and pyramid.
He thinks that he will be in ten years from now with his own resort in Vietnam, Why Vietnam? Because it´s a cheap country and it´s possible to build a big resort there.
What about your love life? Ohhh, actually I have girlfriend, maybe in the future, I were single , I could go at someplace and I could experiment things different. Then can I say that you prefer enjoy the life? No, first of all, I would like working hard wining a lot money, and after maybe in 20 years, starting to enjoy the life.
One questions more, why you chose Vegas and no other place? Because my mayor is international trade and I want to change at hotel management, consequently this is the best place for study hotel management.
OK, thank you very much and I hope that you have luck in your future.









After that, I was speaking with Carolina, she is a student from Brazil and only will be here one month.
Her passion in the life is travel around the world, and the best place that she has never visited is Argentina, very close to Brazil. In twenty from now, she wants to be the director of some important company, for she is the same the sector of the company.
Actually she has boyfriend, and maybe the next year she will be married with him, she wants to have 2 children, but no now, maybe in 6 years.
Why you chose Vegas an no other place? Oh it´s easy, because Vegas has the Strip that it´s very funny place, moreover in Vegas there are a lot people from Brazil.
The last question, what do you prefer, to work very hard and win a lot money or work less with less money and have more free time to spend the money? Absolutely I prefer work very hard and win a lot money
Thanks you very much, and see you soon.
It was two different opinions of internationals students that are living in Vegas. They are living a incredible adventure, and I hope that you, dear reader, try it in your future.

Things I want to do before I die

I want to do a lots things, before to die and I am going to start for the funny things.

One of the things that I want to do is go to Florida and try all the roller coasters. Florida is famous for have the best roller coasters, and I enjoy riding at roller coasters.



But, it isn't the unique funny things that I want to do. Also, I have to go on holidays to carribean's beach, and to go at some of the hotel in front of the beach where its possible to stay everyday drinking in the beach, and enjoy the landscape. It's possible that the next years, I can go with friends, but not sure.




Other things that I would like to do before die, it's go to some poor country to help people. It's one thing that I want to do. In my country, I was working how clown and magic, and I think that was easy to do happy at the poor children, in other way, I have afroid of this, maybe I will find a horrible situation and I won't be able to do laugh the children, But I have to try it because I only can life one time, and I have to enjoy my life.


More fun things, I´m thinking.... Yes I know, I would like to jump in parachute from a plane, in my country is very expensive, but maybe in USA or maybe in Spain, I will do it. I think that the experience has to be incredible, experimenting the velocity, feeling the air on my face, I could see all the world under my foot!.

What about my career?

Actually I am doing anything very good for my future, the last years I told: "I want to go to Vegas to improve and to learn about my job". I'm dealer in my country, and the best place to learn about my degree is Vegas, I'm very happy now, because I choose the difficult way, leave my country and go alone to Vegas, of course I'll came back to Spain, but I think that I will be here 2-3 years more.


In the future, I would like be the director of some casino in Spain, I'm working hard to get it. I think that this it's possible for my, and I could change a lot things about the casinos in Spain. I would like that the casinos in Spain were similar to Vegas, it's the best way to improve the gamming in my country.

Is it possible to finish a marathon?I don´t know it but, I would like to finish the marathon of New York or better, I will be able to win in the olympic games, it could be incredible. In my opinion, the marathon is the hardest sport, you have to be running more than 2 hours, and you have to think the strategy and you have to know when you can run faster or slower.


But. what about my dreams? beacuse in this life the people have to dream.

The best thing that could happend in my life is that my team win the champions league, and how dream is free, I would like that my team, Atletico de Madrid, would win the champions league in the Real Madrid´stadium (Santiago Bernabeu), and win the finals against Real Madrid. I really hate the "puto trampas"(it´s a very impolite name that mean real madrid). This is very difficult but, if this happend sometime, I could die the next day very happy.


One thing more, it is easier than the before thing. I would like to go to the moon in fact, if I´had a lot money, I´ll pay a spacial travel. I´m sure that can see all the planet from the moon, it have to be incredible, amazing and I could find something interesting in the moon, maybe water, maybe other kind of life or simply, experimenting the zero gravity.


Finally, the most impossible thing, I could do miracles. If I had this power, all my dreams will be realized; I could safe people, I could resurret people, I could change the bad things in the world, I could go at someplace in only one second, I could discover a lots things. Resuming, I could do everythings without efford.
