Games of Before vs Games of Now

   When I was child my favorite video game was Mortal Kombat. This video game is about heavy fighting between warriors and monsters that fight to the death, therefore it´s violent. All the characters were amazing and each one have special powers. In this play always you need an opponent, so sometime you could play with a partner or also play against the computer. The video game Mortal Kombat was so famous that a few time after came the film Mortal Kombat for all their fans. Today I don´t play more Mortal Combat because now I prefer other kind of games especially board games as: Scrabble, Sudoku, Solitaire and Candy Crush. These board game are very different than before because now you don't need a paper or table to play, you can play by phone, computer, ipad or tablet. Consequently, you can see how the games have been improving and adapting to new technologies.

Train in Calgary Vs Train in Venezuela


I have some recommendation for you about public transport when you want to come to Calgary. The most common way to transportation is by train and bus. I recommend you that you find the schedule and the map of your bus and remember that the schedule of weekend it´s different to the week days. On the bus and train you need to know about some basic rules of etiquette, for example: don´t make eye contact with the people, don´t speak with strangers, don´t listen loud music and don´t smoke. Another important thing is about the use of phones, don´t use your phone to least it is a emergency or a really an important thing, and try to speak low and fast. Of course, some rules are the same that our country Venezuela as: give your seat to elderly person, don´t put your feet on the seat, don't dirty, etc. However, the good new is that you can bring pets and bicycles on the bus and train, you can eat some kind of foods (without strong odors) and drink some beverages. All these are new for us because on the train in Venezuela these are not allowed. Now you know, if you remember these rules, you will not have any problem when you come to Calgary and you use the public transport.

By Air or By Land, All Depends

Flying is easy and fast and driving is relaxing and fun. Always that I can, I prefer to travel by plane. Of course, if the distance is short I like to travel by car driving in my truck. If the trip is to business always I use the airplane because it is very practice and fast, I can go and come the same day. I take the airplane too if I want to travel to other country for vacations. But travel by airplane has some disadvantage because you need to stay 2 or 3 hours before you trip for all the fastidious process of security and immigration. I know this process is for our safety, but the true is all people -honest - hates these. However, when I travel by car, I feel relaxing because I like to drive. I can see the sceneries, I can park to take pictures or eat in an interesting place. The bad of driving is some unpredictable things can happen in the way and we need to be prepared for these. So, all depends of the trip, sometime I travel by air and sometimes by land.

Crimes Online: These Don´t Need a Gun for Steal You



       Since a few years crimes online have come growing up.  This kind of modality is presented in several ways, for example: Receive fake emails of your bank asking about your information, email from an unknown person offering you a much money through a transfer online, fake web pages of sales of product or banks that look like at the original, among others. The strategy is make that you give them your account or credit card information and then they can steal your money easily. The recommendation is sure that the email really is from your bank, never answer email with your personal information and try to access to web pages of your bank without use Internet search engines. Remember they don´t need a gun for steal you, their main weapon is to make falling you into the trap.
