The Moais' secret
Up until now the majority the Moais in the Pascua island are showing their torsos and heads. The issue is that only 2 years ago, noone had occured that these heads had body like others unearthed (dug up). The fact is that since 1915 two people explained their theory about the Moais
and the strange drawings on their bodies but noone seemed listen to them. Now into the 21st century a nonprofit organisation is digging out the moais' bodies and trying to get the meaning of the drawings.
Several archeologists date these statues 15000 years ago, getting the date from the pile of soil over them but other archeologists don't believe it because they think that the moais were buried by this civilization but what would it be the reason to do that? Why did they bury just the Moais with drawings?
During the excavation they have found many tools to build these statues around of the moais and for the moment that is all.
Someone explain another theory about the extintion of this civilization. It told the huge wave hit the island and eliminated the life on it.
I think that everything still are up in the air maybe we will know more about it in a few years.

The pyramid of the sun from Europe
At the end of 2005 Semir Osmanagic an archeologist from Bosnia did the most important discovery of the latest years because he found a pyramyd hidden under a hill. It is located close to Sarajevo in the heart of Bosnia.
Nowadays this pyramid is cover by soil and vegetation but they have checked that it is the most ancient and tallest of the world.
A recent research with carbon 14 reveal that this structure has at least 25,000 years old. Not so long ago the majority of scientist and historians believed that the first civilization existed about 5,000 years ago but in the last decade it has found many artefacts older than that.
At the beginning they discovered just one pyramid but today they have discovered four more on that site.
All of them has already have their onw names, Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon, Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon, Bosnian Pyramid of the Love and Temple of the Earth.
I wonder, How is posible that those pyramids with that size had been hidden in europe for so long? But It's no strange, those pyramids look like hills (see the picture below).
They still haven't found the entrance but they have dug out a net of tunnels with a lot of km under the pyramids. They are connecting the pyramids between them.
There still are many scientist and archeologist against of the theory of an advanced civilization previous than 5,000 years, however the latest discoveries are supporting the theory that there were a very advanced civilizations before the beginning of the present.
Unfortunatelly, We'll still have to wait many years to see clarified this mistery.

One of my favorite hobbies
I love the musical theater is one of my favorite hobbies.
Everything started at high school when i decided to sign up in the theater of the school. At the begining i just knew a little of this group. Everybody told me that their plays were great but If I decided to belong to this group i would spend a lot of time working there. I thought about it a couple of days and signed me up.
Probably It was one of the best experiences along of my life. This group had everything that i needed in that time, The people shared their knowledge and worked together like a team to reach the same goal. There I met a lot friend but at the begining it was dificult because I was younger than the others at least 5 years. Everybody saw me like a child and certainly I was it. I was 15 but my enthusiams and efforts they changed their minds about me. They realized that I was young but I could offer other things.
I think that you are wondering, What was my job? I built sets in this theater. Those sets were made of wood, steel, Iron, etc. Another activity that i had to attend was, when we finished the sets i had to move some of them during the play.
The schedule of this activity was hard but i didn't mind that because i enjoyed each minute doing it. We spent 19 hours between Friday to Saturday in this activity.
And to finish i would like to say that I didn't earn any money with this activity. I earned more than that like friends, knowledges, knowing to team up and be proud of my job. Currently is difficult to find places where you can learn so many things.

Politics corruption
I sad to see how the politicians sink the country. Last week the news exploded like a bomb. A member of a politics party stole a lot of money in Spain. The worse is that this situation is not new and besides It is happening constantly in many countries around the world. I don't believe neither politics nor politicians anymore. In my opinion They are thieves and they don't worry about the citizens's problems. They just want to fill up the wallet with our money.
At this time the main problem is we are in a huge crisis and this polemic makes us feel more angry because There are a lot of people with strong economic problems. People don't have food to eat, people losing their houses, A lot of people without work. Not only They steal our money but also our dreams and our future.
Each day here is worse than the previous, Our politicians don't have any idea How They going to get out of the crisis, for the moment their solutions have been increase the taxes. It's pathetic but those are our politicians.

My first conversation in english through skype
Hi everyone.
Today has been my first conversation in english on Skype. The experience has been very good the another user spoke in spanish very well, he quite impressed me.
On the other hand this experience was useful for me because I realized that I had lost a lot of conversation skills. I'm sure that You are wondering why?, The answer is easy I haven't spoken in english at least in 7 months but from now on I hope to start again and reach the same level that I had 7 months ago. I'm going to get it.
It looks like incredibly but is real If you don't practice You won't be able to improve.
Thanks by the conversation Brett. I appreciate it a lot and sorry for my english.
I look forward to hearing You next week.
Bye

Introducing myself.
Hi everybody. I'm a Piping designer for refineries and Power plants working in an engineering Spanish company. Currently I'm living in Madrid (Spain) but also I've been living in Mexico for 2 years and a half.
I want to improve my english conversation because I need it for my work and besides, my country is in a deep crisis by banks and this situation is really bad to the young people, maybe many of us are going to have to work abroad in a close future because there isn't enough work.
I'm looking for serious and mature english speakers that they want to exchange their native language with my native language 50/50. People that they really want to practice and improve.
