The idea of journeying into Jane Austen's England has this irresistible allure, akin to stepping into the pages of one of her captivating novels. The prospect of immersing myself in the refined society she so vividly portrayed is coupled with a keen interest in exploring the culinary delights of the era. Picture savoring the elegance infused into each bite—delicate pastries, refined teas, and the robust suppers that graced the tables of Regency England. Envisioning myself as a lady of that period, potentially wedded to a landowner reminiscent of Mr. Darcy, adds a layer of romantic fantasy to this envisioned adventure. Imagine the grandeur of attending balls in exquisite gowns, engaging in the subtle dance of courtship, and strolling through manicured gardens.



Being a lady in Austen's world involves navigating the intricacies of social etiquette, where every glance and utterance carries significant weight. The prospect of living amidst the complex tapestry of relationships, set against the backdrop of picturesque estates and horse-drawn carriages, is both enchanting and exhilarating. As I entertain this fantasy, my yearning extends beyond the mere taste of the past; it encapsulates the desire to partake in a time where love unfolded with the grace of a Regency dance, and each meal was a refined symphony of flavors.

    I had not thought about the possibility of traveling many years ago. In that case I would like to travel to the age of dinosaurs, it would be something dangerous but for me it would be worth it!!

    It sounds like a lot of fun to live inside one of her novels and engage in all those activities without worrying about anything else.

Not only am I a fan of anime, I am a big fan of cultural differences, people-watching, new ways of dressing, and new foods, and all of those elements are contained within this wonderful country. One of my friends visited recently, and through her pictures and tales I was able to feel a bit of the country, and become enchanted by it. I know what everyone knows about Japan: rigid social structure, international influences, lovely festivals, terrible humid weather in summer.  I want to be able to see how the regular people live, go to convenience stores (I know that

In the future, the job I would like to do is, honestly, this one, just continue doing what I am doing. So I guess I should speak from the point of view of a past version of me who hasn’t started working in this university yet, and that is exactly what I will do.  In the future I would like to work for Universidad de Chile. It is my own alma mater, the best university in the country, and I would make my mother very proud. The skills I need for it are being patient, having a deep knowledge of grammar structures, being a human dictionary and translator, and having an extroverted personalit
