About Where you live?
1.- Where do you live?
I live in Querètaro City. It is near of the capital of Mexico.and it`s in North Central of the country of Mexico better known as Bajio. Its population is nearly 903,283,5. This city is the cradle of Independence of Mexico. Regarded a colonial treasure. It containts a great biodiversity and different ecosystems that coexist in the same place. It has a lot of activities such as sports, expeditions to the canyons and rivers besides cycling circuits in the southern prairies. Its style is baroque. The churches are made with cantera in the ornaments which are mining farms of these get industrial rocks or ornaments in rock which are small.
2.-What type of building do you live in?
No, I don´t live in a building. I live in a house which has only one floor and is built with two types of brick one of them is red and the other is made with cement and sand called block. The walls are built with these ones and covered with gypsum and tyrol which is cement in shape of sand My house is very small. there is a nice and beautiful bedroom with a windown, It has two yards one in front of the house and other backwards both are very attractive. I have a wonderful and so small garden on the front yard. The living room is a magnificent place with brown furniture besides a flowered living room furniture I like the most the way I decorate my kitchen with a white furniture besides adorable curtains on the window.
3.-Is this a typical type of building in your country or city?
It might say yes, Nowadays this type of house could be a typical but in the colonial period at the beginning of 1800´s the houses was very huge houses as big as museums in Mexico rather the museums were houses in this period. These are built with cantera and the model was based in a convent of Mexico and we called to this model baroque which is built with fountains in the yards, wells, arches, colonial and wide stairs witn doors made with the most special wood on these doors there are variety of ornaments not anyone could have it. But here in Mexico we have buidings with apartments where you can live or a house with two floors which are called casa duplex in one floor live a family in another floor live another one or very small houses where only a couple can live no more for its size.
4.-Do you like to live there? Why Not?
No, In point of fact this type of house is very small that if you buy many things such as paintings, furniture, ornaments for your house the only thing that is achieved is you don’t have space enought to move freely even if you keep buying clothes you don’t know where you put them. No, I don´t like it. Maybe the only advantage is to finish to clean it up at once.
5.-Have you changed anything or are you planing to change anything?
For the moment I haven´t done anything and I never think about that because I save money, and finish to clean it up and I don´t have a lot of furniture and I don´t need to do it. That´s would be fine.
