Happy Birthday, Michael Jackson!

Today I decided to write about the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, because today he could have 56 years... if he were alive :( 

Michael Jackson was one of my favorite artists when I was younger. My dad introduced me his music when I was 5 years old, when he showed me the “Thriller” music video. I really liked it.

Michael Jackson started his music career when he was 6 years old, singing with his brothers in The Jackson Five group. He worked in the group until 1979, when he started his single career with the album “Off The Wall”. Then in 1983 he published his most famous album: “Thriller”, which was the best-selling album of history worldwide with 65 million copies. 

He published many albums who were best sellers, like “Bad” or “Dangerous”. But he started to have some health troubles. In fact, he died on June 25, 2009 by a medicine overdose. When I noticed about his death, I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t cried for him, but I was a little shocked.

I remember his figure, his artistic work, his achievements and his polemics. But after all, for me, he is the King of Pop, and the music icon of the 20^th century. Wherever you are…Happy 54^th, Jacko!

Gora Euskal Herria!

Well, hello everybody. I hope you are ok all of you. Many weeks without writing... Ok, let's go to the week topic.

I want to go to Spain. I think it has an interesting history, and I won't have troubles with the language, 

because, obviously, they speak Spanish! But in some communities, they speak another related languagues, like basque, catalan, galician, etc. I like to go, specifically, to Catalonia and Basque Country -better called Euskadi-, because they have different languages and a desire of autonomy and Independence of Spain.

I want, first, to make a tour in Euskadi. I want to know its people, its language and its history of independence. I want to go to the San Mamés Stadium, in Bilbao city. There plays the Athletic Bilbao football club.

Then, I want to make a tour in Catalonia. I want to know its history, walk by the streets where there was a Civil War and Social Revolution in 1936. And, obviously, go to a football play in Cap Nou Stadium, where the Barcelona Football Club plays.

I don’t know If i want to live or study there, but I think it will be a great experience.
