The Bicentennial of Chile

This celebration represents the first national government. The first effort to break the Spanish yoke, and finally be able to make our first decisions as a sovereign country.

This September 18 is very important to the country because we celebrate 200 years of our society. Personally, I feel happy to can share with my family and friends this date when we can all be united and feel more Chilean than ever. The fact that we can share our traditions such as the cueca, the bolitas, the kites, roasts, among other things, can demonstrate a culture that makes me proud and also feel a sense of patriotism throughout the country.

In this bicentenary I had a great time with my parents, my brother, eating roasts, anticuchos, listening Chilean songs, sharing with many people and feel that, although we are a small country we can transmit lot of us in 200 years.

From Arica to Magallanes in this Bicentennial we feel a little freer, a little more authentic and especially eager to continue looking ahead. I hope our country to progress, we can ignore the poverty, crime, improving health, the education, among many other things as well, who knows maybe we can get the tercentenary as a developed nation.

To finish, congratulate to our great national Heroes such as Bernardo O’Higgins, Jose Miguel Carrera and Arturo Prat who gave their lives for their country in different circumstances and battles.
