German Valenzuela Basterrica was born in 1859, he was a doctor and a dentist. In 1889 he was the director and teacher of the Escuela de Dentística of Chile. In 1909 he solved an important case, where a person died in a fire of the German Legation in Chile. People thought the dead was the chancellor Guillermo Beckert Trambauer and Legal medical service confirmed it.


The janitor, called Exequiel Tapia had disappeared, so the police think he was the guilty of the murder. But German Valenzuela Basterrica analyzed the dental rests of the body and discovered that the body was of the janitor Tapia.
After months, the police found Beckert trying scape of Chile and was pleaded guilty of the murder of Tapia.
The president of Chile in that moment, Pedro Montt, offered to him a reward for his work and he asked for the built of modern dental school.

I admire him for his work and because he could asked for anything, but he asked for a dental school, which is currently the Facultad de Odontología of Universidad de Chile.

Hi! Today I will talk about series! Usually, I don’t watch TV or series, because when I start a series, I don’t stop until I finish it and I don’t sleep at night.  Sometimes, when I have free time, I watch The Simpsons on TV. It is my favorite series, because is fun and I seeing almost all the chapters and I prefer the older chapters, so I don’t need to wait for the new ones or obsess with the series and I can sleep. I like different kinds of series, I prefer comedy series like “How I met your mother”, but I enjoy mystery or drama series, too. There is a lot of series that I haven’t seen but I would like watch it when I have more free time. In this moment, I prefer don’t see any series, but maybe, in holidays I will see a lot of series in Netflix. A lot of my friends told me the series “The OA” is really good, maybe I see it when I can.

My favourite photograph!

Hi everyone! In this post I will write about a picture I like. I took this photograph in January of this year with my cellphone, it was in vacation with my family in Pucón, in the south of Chile. We were in a big cabin, it had a beautiful garden with a lot of trees that looked like a small forest. This photograph shows my sister and I in that place. It was a beautiful and sunny day of summer; I think that the colors are beautiful and it looks cheerful. Maybe is not the best photograph of my sister and I, but I like it because this picture makes me remember the times when I was relaxed and happy with my family in the beach, without concerns. When I remember the last vacation, I also think in all the cakes, pies and a lot of tasty meal I ate in Pucón and all of this makes me miss the vacation.
