This is not "goodbye", it's just a "see you later"

It’s always hard to say goodbye, for this reason I prefer to say see you later”. Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up, I'll go to ѿý website and other guy will be writing in the blog about his stories, new places, new cultures, new people. This is my last blog, my one last breath.

This blog was a big opportunity to learn English, of course but it was also a way to love my country and know a little bit about other cultures.

Today, in many countries celebrate Halloween, but here we celebrate “Día de la canción criolla”. It’s a special day for peruvian composers and singers, as Chabuca Granda, for this reason Barranco (mainly) and other districts will become in a big party. Everyone ‘ll dance typical peruvian songs until the sunrise.

Tomorrow, the day of death, Presbitero Maestro cemetery and others will be crowded (remember that peruvian people is so religious). Probably, the “Niño Ricardito” will be sorrounded of colorful flowers and many other believers will exist after tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the last trip of The Lord of Miracles through the streets of Lima and October will have gone.

All I want to say is THANK YOU to everyone of you (My twin soul Marina, Beatriz, ѿý_fan, Ashish,Svetlana, Pary, Nastya, Maria, Ditta, Bbllmm, Tienhoa, Dommi, My neighbors Natanael, Marcello and Marcos Umberto; sero_03, Rideamus, Alonso my civilian, Victor_Petrovsky, Susy1979, Cess, Danny,Tulieu, Oscar, Vladimirr, Emat from Kazakhstan, Gloriali, Ttran,Angelica, Icer, Simone, Young Liang, Nadliv, Aliozturk, Mahjabeen, Talha, Ilya Kharitonov, Tereza, Guzin Tumer, Jomari, Beto, Woodhead, Nadliv, and my friends Sadith, Katherina, and Sasha).

I hope not to forget to anyone. Everyone of you helped me to know a little more about your countries and cultures. I really appreciate for your comments, so I hope one day you can visit Peru. I promise you I´ll be your tourist guide =)

Finally a very special gratefulness to a great journalist, great writer, great teacher: Sean. You were my guide and I am very grateful to you. I hope the life join us someday and we can work toguether. I felt like home in ѿý learning English.

October finished. Tomorrow, November 1st, new stories will be written, many experiences will be shared, new countries will be discovered.

As I said in Spanish “No es un adiós, es solo un hasta luego”.

Best of all, friends!!

    Hello dear Miguel!

    I'm sorry for my such a long absence (there are always some reason that keep us busy). Any way I must say you've done a really great work! Thank you! I hope we could see you here as a ѿýLE member ^_^

    I've finally finished reading “La ciudad y los perros” and I liked it very much! Now going to read some other novels of Mario Vargas Llosa. Thanks again for sharing us a piece of your culture, history, literature and so on.

    Take care,

    Hi Miguel,

    I'm sorry that I couldn't keep the pace with you at the end due to both personal and official business. But I'm not sad as you've said 'see you later' rather than 'Goodbye'.

    So, see you again. Take care. I like your writing very much. keep it up.
