September 18th?

My typical fiestas patrias celebration is at home, with a large meal and my entire mother's family, the Chilean family. We like to meet every time we can, in every differet birthday, holyday, and anything's celebration. I really like it because we're a large and noisy family, in fact, I think we're like an Italian family, just like in The Godfather or something, maybe a bit less violent jajajaja.

My grandparents had seven childrens, and everyone lives relativly near of each other, so I see my uncles, aunts, and cousins pretty regulary, almost each day. Also, it's greeting see how the family grows, because several of us of my generation had get married or got childs, so there is a new generation that I hope keep meeting and being so close like us. I hope we still will make noisy parties with singing and playing guitar, dancing, restless kids, a lot of hugs and huge quantities of great homemade food.

In fac, now when I think about it, when I'm celebrating the September 18th I generaly don't ever remember what date it is, and maybe for this reason I can't choose a single fiestas patrias celebration: when I think about one of this celebrations I get confused because I can't remember what moment was in wath year, and sometimes I can't even remember if it was a fiestas patrias party. I never go to fondas or to the beach or something, but I really prefer to being whit my family in that date.

A Boca - River live, in La Bombonera

Well, I had go to several musical events, or expositions, and I really like it; but if I have to choice, there is no doubt that I say the best event I had go is the Argentinian football match Boca Juniors against River Plate, the may 4th in 2008 in the populary called La Bombonera stadium at Buenos Aires.

I'm fan of Boca Juniors, since ever, because my father is Argentinian and he always saw the matches and sing for Boca; but I never could go to any match because I live in Chile since I was a child, until that day.

It was great because River its the bigger rival of Boca and the stadium was crowded of people jumping and singing dressed with the Boca's colors, blue and yellow; and La Bombonera it's a relativly little stadium, but is famous because the gallery it's very sloping and when the supporters jump the whole stadium starts to vibrate, so you feel that you could fall off the gallery, and the crying are so loud that players have to speak with signals.

When the match was in the fourteen minute, Boca has a corner kick and Riquelme shoot it. Every playares jump in the area end Sebastian Battaglia head in the ball to the left side of the River goalkeeper. It was a great score and the gallery virtually collapsed. I hardly even see the goal becuse of the lot of people, and when everybody cries it its hard to remember exactly what happens. Was a chaothic joy moment. At the end, Boca wins 1- 0, and I can say this match it's one of the most espectacular sports event in the world. But, it isn't simply my own opinion, many experts and people in the world say tha same.
