The national holiday

In my opinion, there are different perspectives to think about what makes a person being Chilean. Now I'm going to talk about these.
First, according to the legal perspective, Chilean is anyone born in Chile. In order to the culture perspective, be "Chilean" is a issue very complex, because it means an identity matter (e.g. to me, be a chilean woman gives me a root, and allows me to feel like I'm part of a culture, of a group, etc.) According to the lore, I think is very unfortunate that the deepest traditions in our society, are rooted by the dominant culture (specially when political goals play a crucial role). Is precisely these "customs" presented as "folklore" that are expressed in the national holidays, I think that's the reason about why we play kite flying, but not palin.
Thinking about answers for this final question "Which elements of our culture should be celebrated?" in my opinión, whether we hope to avoid the mistakes of consider just a minority, it would be interesting to ask each person, what elements are most important in your daily living?
Finally, I think a day will come when the true national holiday will not be rid of the Spanish crown, but to be rid of capitalist imperialism, when culture identifies us all, because we build all. I think that day if you celebrate a great national holiday.

The country

My favorite place is the country.  My family and I go every summer to my the grandmother´s house in San Carlos near Chillan, is a little village called Chacay. I go with my cousins ​​to the mountain of Pines, we ingenious adventures among the trees. I very enjoy be there, the country is magical. I take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way in order to go, although only I go in the summer specifically in February. 

I prefer the country because  is a place where you can connect with the natural world, with the tree, the bird, the flowers, the animals, the earth, the green country, with the stones form, with the fabulous sky (above everything in the night) when the sky is riddled for starts. Definitely  the country is magical! In Chacay we go every night to walk looking at the stars, we walking until the little plaza of village. There you can find metal´s games for do physical exercise, as if that wasn't enough  too you can find other games  if not want  do physical exercise you can swing, play in the  teeter-totter or play in the caterpillar metal.

In the grandmother's family have lived the most beautiful moments I can remember. If one day pass for San Carlos invite you to visit my grandmother field, surely fascinate them.
