The best Concert ever

My very best concert was the last summer. I was working as a light technician in GAM, for the Santiago a Mil Festival.
One day, I had an all day turn in the concert room. and, SURPRISE! that day "The tiger Lillies", one of my favorites bands, was playing.



They are a Dark Cabaret/Folk British band; they mix music with theater and black humor, all with a gypsy/clown aesthetics. they're perfect.
They have more than twenty albums, a puppet opera called "Struwwelpeter" (based on an old german Child book)  and have worked in the film "Plunkett and Macleane".



The experience was amazing; I had to speak with the musicians about the atmosphere they wanted in each song. They were great and funny (in their particular way).



The only sad thing was that i could not see them from the stands , because i was in the light balcony , operating lights, and that's a difficult vantage point. But not all people can say they have worked for the band they admire.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT


If I could go anywhere in this moment (if time and the money don't matter) I think I would chose Mexico. 



I dont know a lot about it, but I think that is a very large, colorfull and traditional country. I would love to be there for the saint day of the deads (the mexican Halloween), and eat a sugar skull (It supposed to be for the deads, but it seems delicious).



I too wanna visit the ancient cities, and travel a bit through the forest. Beside that, I wanna meet the mexican people and try their food.  I love spicy food, and the exotic convinations that they mix (like rice with chocolate). But sure, maybe the original mexican food It's too much for me; they add chili even to candies.




I think I wanna stay there only for a pair of months, maybe three, and work in something relative to my studies. Not longer, because there are a lot of countries for visit after Mexico!
