This year is special for our country Chile because we celebrate
The last September 18th we commemorated an important landmark of our history: the beginning of the process of independence by means of the formation of the First Cabinet Meeting.
Chile's bicentennial year is a reason to celebrate and reflect about whom Chilean people are? and What the progresses that we have had as nation are?
To beginning, I will give you some information about our nation. Chile has more 17.000.000 habitants that are distributed in 15 regions along of the territory.
We have along the country different ethnic groups that increase the diversity of our people and the habits.
All this allow us to show to the world the great variety and diversity of foods, traditions and other things that characterize the different areas of our country.
With this we can show an image that whom the Chilean people are and since this we can ask us how the foreigners see us?
Chilean people consider that they are supportive, happy and hard-working.
The negative aspects are the unpunctuality and some are liars.
The foreigners think that the Chilean people are cheerful, attentive and that we have a big fortitude to confront the different situation and problems as the earthquake that affected the last 27th february or the heroic story of 33 trapped miners in The Mine San José.
In the health we have had good progresses because in 2005 the president of Chile Michelle Bachelet announced the creation of a plan called AUGE that covered the treatment of 69 pathologies. This plan is a public healthy regulations that guarantee the access to promotion, protection and recuperation of the health.
In the economy Chile has explanded its boundary to other country in differents continents as Europe or Asia where has signed differents trades agreements.
In addition Chile has increased its incomes through the mining industry or exportations of fruits and wine.
Even we have new challenges and goal in all the areas for to be a good country.
