English 4, Post 2: 'The best concert'

I haven't gone to a lot of concerts in my life, mainly because concert tickets prices are too expensive here in Chile, but one exception was a concert of one of my favorite bands of all time, Pearl Jam. The concert took place at the "National Stadium" in Ñuñoa on November 4th of 2015.

Pearl Jam is a rock band that was formed back in the 90s during the "grunge era" of rock music. Initially, they were 5 members, but today they are 6. Current members are mentioned below:

Vocals and rythm guitar: Eddie Vedder.
Lead guitar: Mike McCready.
Rythm guitar: Stone Gossard.
Bass: Jeff Ament.
Drums: Matt Cameron.
Keyboard: Boom Gaspar.

The atmosphere during the show was incredible, all the people were enjoying the music and singing along with the band, it was just amazing. I can't describe exactly with words what I felt in that particular moment, it was a kind of pure ecstasy, I guess. But not everything could be great, because the next day I had a chemistry test, and my mark was not particularly good (hahaha).

English 4, Post 1: 'A country you would like to visit'

There are a lot of countries I would like to visit, Asian and European countries mostly, but if I have to choose only one I would visit Japan, because I'm a big fan of videogames, especially of Japanese role playing games (JRPGs) such as Final Fantasy or Shin Megami Tensei among others and Japan is, basically, the birthplace of videogames. Also, I enjoy a lot watch anime and read manga.  

Japan is a very beautiful country with amazing landscapes and cities that I would like to visit if I go to there, but of course, only after visiting all kinds of videogame, anime/manga shops to buy a lot of things that I'd like to own.

Japan is also known for its culture that has customs and traditions so different from our occidental culture. For this last reason, I don't think that I would like to live in Japan, because they are pretty known for their strict rules about the work, the law, etc. So I think that I will not be very comfortable with that cultural shock.
