Here is my example

Cartoons

I'm not a big cartoon fan. I don't think cartoons are as important in the UK as they are in Chile. All of my friends here talk about Goku and I have no idea what they are talking about. In the UK cartoons, especially manga style cartoons are a bit nerdy.
   However, as a child there were lots of cartoons I watched. I particularly enjoyed Popeye and Road Runner. There were others that were more obscure too like Moomins.

   Moomins is a cartoon made in Finland. Its about a fictional family of Moomins. They are kind of like White hippopotamus. There is a Daddy, a Mummy, some children and some friends. The friends are an angry girl called Mai and a wandering boy called Snufkin.

   I like it because it was always so mysterious and strange. They lived in quite a scary world with long winters and strange beasts. The different characters represent different personality types and most shows have some sort of message. It's quite enigmatic.

   I still watch it sometimes. I have friends from Finland so I often talk to them about it. I watch it when I'm bored at home, most of the episodes are on YouTube.

   My favourite character is Snufkin, maybe. He is the romantic travelling type who has no responsibility. I also like Mai because she's so devious.

Here's a link to an episode in Spanish. I really recommend you watch it, especially if you are a Psychology or Anthropology student.

There are lots of countries I would like to visit. The truth is, I prefer to visit places where I have a specific reason to go there, that could be a friend, something I want to see or a specific activity I would like to do. 

   Of course I would love to aimlessly wander the streets of Thailand or India but for me some sort of connection is important so my first choice would be to visit Finland. 
   For some reason, more by accident than design, I have quite a few friends in Finland and they are all lovely people so I'd like to see the country that has made them that way. Finland also has the best education system in the world so I'd love to talk to people about that. It also has incredible winters, lots of snow and cold which is something I'd like to experience. They are also the world-experts in saunas which sounds good to me. Historically the country is also very interesting, it shares a border with Russia which has affected it's culture and history a great deal. 
   I would like to live there for at least a few months. I think it's impossible to really experience a place if you don't have some sort of interaction with it, so having a part-time job would be great.
