MY WORLD 2

I love travelling. That's why I want to go around the world and know different cultures. I've travelled to London, Andorra, Menorca, Saragossa and Mexico. I'm going to talk about my experience in Mexico. First of all, it was my first time crossing all the Atlantic Ocean. It's 8-9 hours by plane, and it's the worst thing about the holidays. I went to a Riviera Maya's Hotel. It was the paradise. I went there for a week with my parents and all the days were sunny and very hot. However, there were a lot of swimming pools, beaches and cold drinks. In general it was so relaxing. All the staff from the hotel were happy and very attentive. We visited Chichén Itzá (Maya's pyramid), I swam with dolphins, we saw lots of iguanas and monkeys... all was excellent. But, apart from all those experiences, what really impacted me was the poorness (in general) of the people. Some of the houses were only huts and they lived almost all the days on the street. I like seeing how the people live in their countries, and it was very... awkward. It made me remember of the lots and lots of things I have that I didn't value them. After that experience, I decided to travel to a lot of places, and I think it will brig me a new vision of the world.

MY WORLD

Nowadays, my passion and my job is music. It's one of the most important things in my life. I started playing music when I was 7 years old, in the Castelló d'Empúries' music school. I started doing musical theory and singing in a chorus. When I was 8 I started my first musical instrument, "tible" ( a typical instrument of Catalonia ). I used to have the dream of entering in a cobla, and work there to earn money. And now, I have achieved that dream. I'm starting on the cobla of Castelló on February 2018. When I was 10 I started playing the saxophone and I am so happy of it. It's so funny to play saxophone and do a lot of soundtracks of films, playing actual songs, jazz, ragtimes... I'm part of a sax quartet, but for the moment, we only play for fun, and we don't go anywhere to play. I'm so proud of all of these things in my life. I can't live without music, I need to play or listen to it every day. It is a must. 
I'd like to play more instruments and play them better than I do, however it's so difficult to do it. I haven't much free time and I want to do a lot of things apart from that. But this is another world.

MY WORLD NEWS

MILLIONS OF JELLYFISH

People saw millions of jellyfish near the pier of Crimea. The reasons of this phenomenon are unknown. People say that those jellyfish have roamed the seas for between 500 and 700 million years.

I think it's an interesting news and very impacting.

TITANOSAUR IN NEW YORK

In New York's American Museum of Natural History there's a fossil of a dinosaur spanning 37 metres which roamed the forests 100 million of years ago. The palaeontologists think it weight 70 tonnes. It's so big that it can't even fit inside the institute's fossil hail. Its neck and head poke out of the room.
It was founded on a desert of Argentina. 5 million visitors come to visit the museum each year.

It's so interesting and I like dinosaurs. That fossil is a hallow of the biology history, and I love it.
