Estadio El Campin

Have you ever gone to El Campin? Do you know that it is the biggest stadium in Bogota? In there you can see all the soccer matches of Millonarios and Santa Fe. I went to the El Campin to see Millonarios vs Real Cartagena. I went with my father, my uncle and my cousin. For going there we took the 30 avenue and we had to park the car in the parking lot of the stadium. The only disadvantage is that many cars park in there so it is always full. We had to sit in the East sits because the ones of the West were being repaired for the 2011 Under 20 Fifa World Cup. 

In the entrance we had to pass by many places where policemen touched us in order to verify that we didn't have weapons or things that can be harmful for other people. Then we gave the tickets and entered fast to get good sits at the center of the field. The popular fans, called in here "Barras Bravas" were singing and jumping. They had many flags and in south there was "Blue Rain" and in north there was the "Comandos Azules" but because some troubles inside the fans, they were divided into Comandos and Kilombo Norte. The stadium was full, but it was in repairs for the world cup, as the rest of the main stadiums in Colombia. Then after we sit, the teams and the referees went out, and the anthem of Bogota and Cartagena sound. When the players of Millonarios went out, the fans got so excited. Then the match started. In the first part the teams played good but they didn't scored goals. The "barras bravas" started to sing some songs asking the players to play better, and also telling the coach to put Arrechea into the team. Then the first part finished and we went to the store and buy a Cheese stick because the ones of the stadium are delicious. Then we came back to our sits and the teams went to the field again and we could see that the coach put Arrechea, so all the people was excited because he is a very good forward player. The second part started and all the people was excited, Millonarios had to win. About in the 20' minute, one player of Real Cartagena commited foul to a player of Millonarios. It was a penalty kick. Arrechea took the ball and he was the one that was going to shoot the penalty. He took the distance and made a fantastic goal. All the people of Millonarios was so happy, the "barras bravas" sang and made the avalanch. A few time after that, Jhonathan Estrada kicked a corner kick, and Robayo shoot with his head and scored another goal. People was so happy, Millonarios was playing so good. Then Arrechea made another two goals, all the people was so happy, the fans sang and jumped.

When the match finished all the people was so happy, they started to congratulate the players with songs and started to tell bad things to the Real Cartagena fans and people. We went out of the stadium fast for not meeting with the "barras bravas" because my father and my uncle are so afraid of them, but I don't really care. So I invite you to go to the stadium, it is a nice experience where you can interact with different people of different social classes but that have your same passion: The soccer.

My Fantastic Experience in Unicentro

Have you ever gone to Unicentro in Bogota? Do you know that it is one of the most big malls in South America? For me, Unicentro is the most atractive and amazing mall in Bogota. I recommend you to go in there because there you can make a lot of different activities and you can enjoy alone, with your friends or with you family. It is the best mall for young people to go, most of them meet with their friends in the "Flags", at the second entrance.

During my experience, I went with a friend. We went in bus; it is so easy to get in there because there are a lot of buses around Bogota that pass by Unicentro. We took a bus that left us in fron of Unicentro at the 127 avenue. I could see that in that place there were a lot of people selling things, waiting taxis or bueses and arriving or getting out of Unicentro. We entered and we went immediately to have lunch. We went out to the food place where there is a lot of variety of restaurants like "El Corral", "El Carnal", "Panerolli" and others. We couldn't have lunch in there because that place was full and there were no tables left. We decided to look for restaurants that are around the mall, like "Creppes & Waffles" or "Mc. Donalds". We decided to go to Mc. Donalds because it is cheap, and there were tables for we to sit. The disadvantage of Unicentro is that many people go in there daily, and it gets full of people so at lunch time it is difficult to find a restaurant with places left, most of the time you have to wait a lot of time at the restaurants in there for getting a table. Then we met with some friends and we went to play Bowiling. The bowling courts in Unicentro are so nice are big and there you can eat pizza or hamburguer and drink what you want. When we finished to play bowling we decided to go to play electronic games. In that place you pay for some coins, each coin costs 1000 pesos, and you insert them in the electronic games in order to play. Some games give you some tickets. If you get a lot of tickets you can change them for a price, but you have to get too many to get a good price, because with few tickets the prices are so bad.

Finally we decided to go to eat an ice cream. The best places in Unicentro for eating ice cream are Creppes & Waffles and Mc. Donalds, but we went to Creppes because one friend doesn't like the ice creams at Mc. Donalds and the only one that liked him, the Mc Flurry, is so expensive. After eating the ice cream we went walking to the house of a friend that lives near Unicentro. Unicentro is in a good place of Bogota, where security is good and there are not too much dangers. So, I want to recommend you to go to Unicentro, because in there you can make a lot of different activities different to the ones I made and you can have fun in many ways, like going to the cinema, or going to the different Casinos that are in there.

Cinemark in San Rafael

cine mark is situated in some malls of bogota am going to talk about the one in san rafael. this cinema is very find because I thing the cinemas are bigger than cine colombia. the cinema was very big more than cine colombia and there were more varieties of food and the rooms of the cinema were so fine, is like you enter and you want to stay an see the movie, because if you go to a cinema that is not fine you don't want to stay and see the movie, so that cinema have a very good image, so about my expirience in the cinema its was very fine because I beging to do the line for bought the tiket and when the girl of the cinema said me that the tiket cost $7,000 I surprise because it was more expensive than cinecolombia.

my experience in cinemark of san rafael. to enter to the mall is so easy its pace in the 134 street with 54 career is the principal door of the mall, I go with a friend to that cinemark, the rooms of the film were at the 3rd floor so it is a little bit difficult to the people that can't walk to go there, you buy the tiket in the second floor but the line that forms there is bigger than in other places. then when we go upstairs we saw the food store we bought a hot dog and a pop corn and tow sodas for both and we entered to saw the movie it was so nice because the chairs were well organized so that every one could see very well we enjoy very much the movie because it was so nice and the place was so comfortable and the hot dog and the popcorns were delicious, later when we go out we take a taxi because its so easy but that was inecesary because my house was really near to the mall.

at the end we go to my home and when we were going we were talking about how amazimg was that movie an the fantastic place that was the cinemas of san rafael, we like to much that cinema that tow weeks later we go with more frinds to saw other movie

My Experience in Gran Estacion

Have you ever gone to Gran Estacion? Did you knew that it has a high technology center for people to buy and sell technology articles? Did you knew that Gran Estacion has a place for Ice Skating? I assure you that if you go to Gran Estacion you would enjoy a lot because in there you can make many different activities, for me it is one of the best malls in Bogota because in there I have a lot of fun in many different ways. Also, Gran Estacion is so nice because it has a lot of delicious Restaurants, the best ones in Bogota.

During my experience going to Gran Estacion, I went with my father to take my mother and my sister to a party so we decide that meanwhile they were there, we were going to go to Gran Estacion. When we arrived we could see that the car entrance was so big and there were a lot of guards with trained dogs watching that the cars didn't have something strange like a bomb inside. The only disadvantage of Gran Estacion, is that it was too dificult to find a space in the parking place, and it was so big so me and my father got lost. When we entered to the mall we started to walk and look all the mall by the inside. I could see that there were a lot of sports stores and also many small stores of Mc Donalds or coffee stores. I went with my father to a mini-store of Mc Donalds and there we ate a Mc. Flurry. Then, we went too look what movies were in the cinema and they were great. We were going to watch "La Comunidad del Semaforo" but we couldn't enter because we had to go for my mother and my sister earlier. Then we went to the terraces in there. The terraces were so big and in there people can see all the city around the mall, and can sit there to drink something. Next to the terrace there is an ice skating court. Then we went to have lunch in a very nice restaurant named "El Corral Gourmet" and I suggest you that if you go to that restaurant, ask for the Gaucha Hamburguer, which has Chimichurry, hamburguer meat, and sausage. It is delicious.

Finally, we went to buy an ice cream, but in Gran Estacion is too dificult to choose were to buy an ice cream because there are a lot of places in wich you can buy them, and all are delicious. We decided to buy another Mc.Flurrys because they were great! Then we went to pay the parking and there was a big row for paying but the employes of the mall were so efective and started to work faster and suddenly the big row disappeared. So, I want to recomend or suggest you to visit Gran Estacion, and try to go to make Ice Skating because it is great, or if you like a nice bar, you can go to a place in there named Beer Zone in which people watch soccer games and have fun drinking handcrafted beers and if you like Video Games, there is a place in which you pay for play lots of video games and you can get some tickets for buying beautiful gifts.
