Greatest Chilean of all time: Pablo Neruda

I want to start telling you I think nationality is not important for me. In that sense, if I choose a person because it's Chilean, it will be arbitrary.

Well, this time I'll work with Pablo Neruda. He was a Chilean poet, diplomat and politician. His real name was Ricardo Neftalí Reyes Basoalto.

Neruda was and is very important to poetry of the XX century. Some authors say Neruda was the best poet in his time. Often, his works were about love, erotic romance and nature. One of his curiosities is that he always wrote with green ink.

Neruda had many houses around Chile. The most relevant could be La Sebastiana in Valparaiso, La Chascona in Santiago and, the most important for him, Isla Negra, located in El Quisco. He used to decorate his houses with many ornament, souvenirs and strange objects brought from other countries. He had the chance to travel many times around the world, as a poet as a diplomat.

He was with a lot of women during his life, but the last and most important for him was Matilde Urrutia, who was the most loved by him. In fact, Neruda decided to get married with her in Isla Negra.

If I had the possibility to ask him something, I'd like to do about how to be more persuasive with the people, specially with women, hahaha. People says that Neruda had a mysterious power to win women over, a skill very interesting to any man.

Clearly, I didn't meet Pablo Neruda, but I really had liked it because I consider he could has been a smart and sensitive person, very interesting and enigmatic. I hope to know somebody like him in my life.

Great Detective Conan

I remember a lot of TV programs that I watched when I was child, but I choose the next because I think it was particularly special to me. I mean that, in some way, I had liked to be as the principal character (like all children with his favorite series). This program is called Case Closed or, as I knew it, Detective Conan (in Latin America).

Detective Conan is an anime series that tells the story of the detective Shinichi Kudo (Bobby Jackson in LA) and how he is forced to drink a poison that becomes him in a child, Conan Edogawa. He, with his friends, lives many adventures resolving a lot of cases and crimes, having to escape from the bandits Gin and Vodka. Also, as Shinichi, he had a relationship with Ran Mouri (Claudia in LA) that is broken because of the incident. However, by coincidence he stays living with her as child, hiding his identity to protect her. They go by much funny situations along the story.

Fundamentally, I enjoyed this anime series because it had much suspense and action in every episode. The protagonist always reaches to resolve the troubles with his intelligence and ending so well. In many ways, Detective Conan was it that many boys want to be: a smart guy who can face every situation with success.
