1. See a Cirque de Soleil show: When they came to Lima for the first
(yet the only time they've been here) we were lucky to get tickets
to this amazing show.
2. Give money to a homeless person: One of the nicest people
I've met was a homeless guy who asked for food and money in
New York, one block away from Central Park. We talked for a few
minutes and I was surprised to see how happy he was even
though he didn't have a home or money to survive.
3. Travel to Italy: I was lucky enough to visit Europe with my
two best friends, we celebrated New Year in Rome and we
were so excited for the year that was coming (2012).
3. Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower: After standing in the
line for 2 or more hours under the rain that didn't seem to stop,
we finally got in the tower and took the elevators until we reached
the top. The wind was so strong we had to push our
bodies to walk, we could see Paris at night and it was
one of the prettiest landscapes I've ever seen.
4. Ice skate in the Eiffel tower: After reaching the top,
we went down to the first stage on the Eiffel tower.
It was January 5th, so there was still an Ice Ring for
people to ice skate and there was also an ice sculpture
of the Eiffel tower. I wasn't able to ice skate without
leaving my friends who had to hold me tight in order
to survive and don't fall (I am a disaster when I go ice
skating).
5. Visit Times Square: I wanted to visit Times Square on New Year
but we went there on Januare 7th of 2013, only my mom and I. It
was so much fun, we learned to use the metro without getting
lost (at least I did) and every night we walked through Times Square.
6. Crash a party: My friends and I used to crash at parties when
we were younger, we had no shame. Even when the people
in the party recognized that we were "intruders" we didn't
care and danced like we owned the party.
7. Ride a Gondola in Venice, Italy: The best part of this experience
was listening to the man riding the gondola sing classical italian
songs. I was so nervous at the beggining because I thought
we would fall but then I calmed down and enjoyed the ride. After it
we visited the Murano factory and got surprised at how they made
those murano sculptures.
8. Eat pasta in Italy: Food is my passion and it is also my friends'
passion, one of the reasons why I'm obese and I will never stop
being obese (even though one of the things I must accomplish
in this bucket list is to reach my ideal weight haha, hope is the
last thing we can loose). We stopped at every ice cram shop and
after filling our stomachs with "gelatto" we were ready for pasta.
In Venice we ate the best ravioli. We got to enjoy the whole italian
experience while eating because we got lost and ended up in a tiny
family restaurant. The people who served us could only speak
italian but they were so nice, and the food was the best.
9. See a Broadway show: This year when I went to New York
with my mom we decided we had to see at least one Broadway
show. I wanted to see The Lion King but my mom's eyes opened
wide and filled with excitement when she saw one of the shows
displayed was Mary Poppins (during this trip I was the parent and
she was the child) so I decided we could go there (my mom doesn't
speak english as well as me so I was the official translator). We bought the
ticket on the same day and we payed for seats that were far away but
ended up in the front and VIP seats because there were many seats
empty and the guy who sold us the ticket charged us the cheapest
seat and placed us on the best one. I think he did this because he
got entertained while seeing two crazy peruvians talking loud
in spanish while trying to decide to which show they should go).
10. See gaudi's works in Barcelona: We got in one of those big
red buses that offer tours around Barcelona and give you
headphones so you can listen a tape that describes
the most important places of the city. One of the places
we stopped was "Sagrada Familia" a church designed by
Gaudi. While we got there, we saw like three more buildigs
that were designed by him. I'll find the pictures I took and Upload them
here.
11.Kiss a stranger: hehe.... everyone did this in our prom trip
to Argentina.
12. Be a Big Sister: In our senior year we can be a big sister of
a whole class, my class was "Nido D". I had the prettiest
and most loving "little brothers" anyone could have. This
experience was amazing, I fell in love with every single
one of my children.
13.Ride a horse: When we went to Argentina in our prom trip,
we did many things in "Bariloche" like riding motorcycles
or horses. My horse was the shortest one, I considered it a pony.
But I can't complain as I am a midget and my size is approx. 30 cms.
14.Dye my hair: After returing from my trip to the U.S I decided
to dye my hair in a californian style. Until today (12 months later)
I keep that look.
15.Visit Washington D.C: My aunt lives in Virginia, in a city
that is only 5 minutes away from Washington D.C. So every weekend
we went there. We visited the capitol, the library, Alexandria, Georgetown
(and tried one of Georgetown's cupcakes).
16.Travel to New York: check......
17.Go to Vatican City: We went there on January 1st of 2012. We
met some peruvian nuns and got really excited because we had
seen some other people that came from our country. We ate
in a buffet that was near the place were the Pope sent greetings
and instead of seeing the Pope come out at 3pm, we were
eating as many food as we could because we were starving.
(food is the most important element of our day).
18.Get lost in a foreign country: And guess where we got lost,
we got lost in Rome. None of us could speak italian but there
were many tourists that could speak french so I commuicated
with them. We had to find the rest of our tour group, when we found
them they wanted to kill us because they had to stop the tour
in order to look for us. There was a couple that was mexican, and
the husband could've murdered us if he had a weapon. I started
to imitate his accent and was so unlucky because his wife listened
to me but instead of getting offended, she laughed and joined
me and our friends in making fun of her husband.
19. Visit Macchu Pichu: In 2010 our school took us to Macchu Picchu
and it was the second best trip we did in our school. We took the train
early in the morning and walked like 2 hours through Macchu Picchu
but had so much fan taking picture with the alpacas or llamas.
20. Create a blog: I guess I just did it...... check ;)
