Love is a constellation of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness.[1] The meaning of love varies relative to context. Romantic love is seen as an ineffable feeling of intense attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimate interpersonal and sexual relationships. [2] Though often linked to personal relations, love is often given a wider connection, a love of humanity, of nature, with life itself, or a oneness with the universe, a universal love or karma. Love can also be construed as Platonic love, [3] religious love,[4] familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, to include activities and foods.[5][2] This diverse range of meanings in the singular word love is often contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the concept's depth, versatility, and complexity. Conclusion of mine: Love is just a state of mind, and vanishes as soon as it appears. If humans are to busy with themselves its hard to find love in their lives, and feel that state, even if they think they do. For me Love is expressed at its maximus, giving to others part of you, giving to others what they dont have..LOVE

EASTER ISLAND BY ALE MCALISTER Story: According to history, Easter Island is located in the most remote part of the world, for this reason it didn’t have cultural influences. It counts with islanders who call it “Rapa Nui” or “Te Pito Te Henua”. According to the legend, the first men arrived from Hiva with King Hotu Matu’a in the 6th century. About 100 men from different Polynesian islands. They arrived the year 300D.C. and brought to the island their own architecture and cultural wisdom. Even if they had their own language and Polynesian writing, they developed their own culture. From years 900 to 1500 this society built many altars and sculptures called Moais, that in the Rapa Nui language means “so there will always be” Some of these colossal stone figures, have 4 to 10 meters height and 80 tons.They were carved out of the Rano Raraku Volcano crater and transported by the Rapa Nui people to the edge of the coast. There are now 270 altars or Ahu, and 900 statues wich have megalithic expressions, and used for politic power representation. The Rapa Nui culture is also well known for its traditional annual birdman competition, a physical struggle,to gain the power between the islands’s when they were tribes. EI is located 3,800 kilometers from Valparaiso, and it’s located parallel to the city of Caldera up in the North of Chile. It counts with 7.130 hectares; a 40% of the islands surphace. Nowdays, it was nominated as the Word Heritage in 1995. It was the first National Monument in getting this award. The volcanic island’s Spanish name, or center of the world, Isla de Pascua, was derived from the first European visit on Easter Sunday of 1722. Between this time and Chile’s annexation of the island on September 9, 1888, the island received many visitors, including the famous English captain, James Cook. When Chile leased the island to Williamson-Balfour Sheep Company from 1888 until 1953, Rapa Nui people were confined to the main town of Hanga Roa. Today, Hanga Roa is the capital of the island and the main center for the majority of island activities and island residences. Though Rapa Nui is still governed by Chile, many islanders hold a lingering anger towards “continentales” or “Continentals” as they call the people not from the island, and are strongly resisting the development of their home. As part of their struggle for autonomous identity, islanders speak their native tongue, Rapa Nui, in addition to Spanish, and have recently implemented a bilingual track into the public elementary schools. Island life, though slow and simple, revolves around the sub-tropical island environment. Tourists to the island will encounter a medley of outdoor activities of varying activeness, ranging from lounging on Ovahe Beach to climbing 300 meters down into Rano Kau Volcano’s crater. Due to its volcanic origin, the island is a great destination for hiking, trek

Useful tips for travellers that come to Chile: Vaccinations: There are no vaccination requirements or medical exams for entry to Chile, but Hepatitis A im- munisation is recommended. Dengue fever is on the increase and visitors should take precautions against mos- quito bites. Water & food borne diseases: All water should be treated as if contaminated, but in general water in Chile is harmless to drink. For those persons that are more susceptible to adapt to changes, we recommend bottled water the first days at least. Boiled water also is ok. In the case of food, its recommended to cook vegetables, fruit and seafood, but if you buy all these products at a supermarket that has all standards for example Lider, Jumbo or Santa Isabel, are the places you can buy without any harm to eat raw. Weather and altitude: Only during summer in the case of Santiago the capital and the metropolitan region with the highest amount of people and car park, the weather can be dry and severely polluted sometimes, when there is no wind, as its valley landscape, forms a grey cloud of smog. For this reason it’s not recommended to jog or do cardio exercises outdoors if you have some respiratory problem. In the case of regions there is no problem of this kind. A way you prevent dry skin and sunburns, during summer at the beach and during mountain hiking its highly recommended to use good hydrating lotions with UV protection. For those who love the mountain climbing, should be aware of altitude sickness, in case of going to Ojos del Salado one of the highest mountain in south America together with the Aconcagua have to ascend slowly to allow the body to adjust to this height.
