You will be missed...

It was great having you in my class! 

Ms. Julia :)

GOOD BYE POST

Dear  Readers & Ms. Julia

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed spending the fifth level of english  together. I can hardly believe that our time together is coming to an end. Getting to know you has been one of the best parts of my career. Even though we only met in one semester, I somehow feel as if we’ve been friends already.

 

I think that I've learned a lot of things in this semester I could easyly recognice that your class was not just grammatic stuff; I would say that it was like another class but taught in English so it was like taking an extra class of Tourism and Hospitality, I hope that your next students could appreciate what you do, because if you let me be honest, you are always taking care of us like if we were your childs even though we are in the university

 

I hope you’ll be back to teach in fifth level for GLION and NG next year. I’d love to get to stay but I have to go off to join the “real world.” 

 It’s been great getting to know you!

 

 

I forgot the song of the week... surry

Marketing Strategy in a mature market:
Studying the organization fundays at the City Art Gallery

An art gallery operating in a tiny market does not necessarily need to maintain an uncompetitive edge. An excellent example of this case would be the City Art Gallery sponsorship programme, whose analysis of figures for museum-attendance-low is the market that reaches the maturity required.

Two major new activities were established by the gallery; those regarding family Sunday afternoons, including a big amount of attractions; And those regarding our online gallery, displaying all collection before, during and after the visit, and not only that but many other features as well.

Parents admit they saw benefits quickly. There was a sharp increase in web hits because people got way more interested in these activities and gallery now, which also increased the attendance population greatly, especially during Sunday afternoon events.

After all the changes that were made, the gallery decided to make a research with exceptional results. The gallery attracted more and more young customers while also keeping customers who already existed. It raised awareness of the gallery and the new activities added were substantial for young visitors.

Despite those exceptional results, we are still facing a long-term issue, which is finance. We need to figure out how to keep these events going. Sponsorship sounds like a good marketing strategy. So far, our family performance activities have attracted interest of the media, such as the Sunday Telegraph newspaper, which aims to engage younger readers as well as attract existing and new readers.

Here is my song of the week, hope you enjoy✨

My song of the week:

TECATE. Baja California. Mexico.

This place from Baja california Mexico it's one of the most beautiful places in the world and I'm not just talking about that they have the most famous spa in all around the world it's because of what you can see here below:

HISTORY

Tecate is the oldest border town in Baja, though in terms of peninsular history, it's still relatively young. In the early 1800's, a few mestizo farmers began working the valley lands. As word got around that the valley was fertile and water - supplied by the Tecate and Las Palmas Rivers - was abundant, more followed. In 1831, Peruvian Juan Bandini receive a land grant of 4,500 hectares from the Mexican government and two years later lais out a town to serve the budding farming community.

Long before Bandini's arrival, the valley surrounding Tecate had been sporadically inhabited by Yuma Indians, who called it Zacate. The Yumas revered 1,520 - meter (5,000 foot) Monte Cuchumá, the valley's most outstanding geographic feature, which today straddles the U.S. - Mexico border. Surviving Kumyais, a sub-tribe of the Yumas, still revere the mountain, and in 1982 they successfully obtained a U.S. agreement to dismantle radio towers on Cuchumá's California side.

Most likely the name Tecate developed from a Spanish corruption of the Indian name for the valley, Zacate. Another theory, rather unlikely, has it that Tecate comes from the English "to cut," since Anglos to the north often came to the valley to cut wood in the late 19th century - though the vegetation in the valley has always consisted mostly of treeless chaparral. The settlement became the capital of a new Mexican municipality in 1892, following completion of a railroad built to connect Tijuana, Tecate, and Mexicali with the national rail system.

Tecate became a household word in Mexico after the founding of the Tecate Brewery in 1943. Aside from the brewery and a few maquiladoras east of the city on Mexico 2, the town remains primarily dependent on agriculture. Tourism, though relatively limited, is also a source of local revenue.

GASTRONOMY

Baja California's Gastronomy declared a State Heritage

RED LOBSTER

 This native specie from the coasts of Baja California has been nowadays certified. It is traditionally eaten in the State, and the most famous way to prepare it is the lobster with beans of Puerto Nuevo, although it is also prepared grilled and in salads, among other preparations.

 TUNA FISH

 Mexico is one of the main producers of tuna fish in the world, and Baja California has the most number of feeding pens of the Country. Nowadays, this fish plays an important roll within the contemporary cuisine of Baja California, being present in a whole diversity of fresh dishes. 

 LOBSTER WITH BEANS

 This dish became popular in the 1950s when the wives of the fishermen of Medio Camino, nowadays Puerto Nuevo, began to offer the tourists visiting the area the most common dish among them: fried red lobster accompanied with beans, rice, salsa and wheat flour tortillas. It is the most famous and requested recipe in the port

FISH TACOS

They are prepared with marinated school shark, covered with flour and egg. Once fried, it is eaten in corn flour tortillas with salsa, mayonnaise and lime. CLAMATO It is said that this beverage was created in El Acuedcto Bar at Mexicali. It is prepared with tomato juice, clam juice and spices. It is usually served with few drops of lime juice, salt and Worcestershire sauce, or sometimes with beer or tequila. 

MARGARITA COCKTAIL

 This is the most significant and world famous cocktail of Mexico. It was created in Ensenada during the 40s by Mr. David “Deny” Negrete Covarrubias, who was once asked by a lady friend. Mrs. Margarita Orozco, to prepare a beverage with salt. Deny took a shaker, squeezed the lime juice, added white tequila and Cointreau, shaked it with ice and served it in a champagne glass, frosted with salt along the edge. 

WINE 

Over the last decades, Baja California has become the main wine producer of Mexico, achieving international acknowledgment for its great quality. In the valleys of Guadalupe, Calafia, Santo Tomás, San Vicente and San ntonio de las Minas, grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscatel are produced by the main producing houses — Santo Tomás, L. A. Cetto, Monte Xanic and Casa Pedro Domecq among them— which create white, rosé, red, sparkling and generous wines.
