The best place to live

In my opinion, the best place to live is Munich, Germany. I have visited Munich, the last time was on Febraury, 2006. I would like to live in Munich for several reasons. First, this city is beautiful, their buildings and places were built at least 500 years ago, they have a lot of history, even though this city is one of most moderns in Germany. Another reason is because Munich has a lot of importamt companies like BMW, Varian, Bayer, etc.
This city is very clean and their people is very respectful. Munich has an efficient public transport, its subway has 15 lines and it cover all city. Another reason is the food, in Munich the people like pork, beef, and chicken, they used to eat a lot of sausages, all this food like me a lot, also the people in Munich drink a lot of beer. The beer from Munich is the best beer that I ever had drunk. The wehater in Munich is not to bad, in winter the lowest temperature is -15 Celsius degrees and in summer the highest is +30 Celsius degrees, so I will be able to live there!.
To conclude; Munich is a safety city and people in Germany love soccer, same as me!
If I will live in Munich I could watch the champion league matchs, the most important competition of soccer. So, when I finish my English courses, I will find a company which allow me to travel or live in Munich.

My first job



My first job was in 2001. I was working as a biotechnology attending in virus vaccine production for animals. This company is called PRONABIVE; it is an abbreviation of National Producer of Biological Veterinarian and it is located in Mexico City.
PRONABIVE is the producer for all animal's vaccines which will be selling for all the farmers. They are focus in porks, horses, dogs an cats. I was working there for one year in a half.
My principal activities were into the lab area which is specialized in virus vaccines
for example rage and pork fever. I was in charge for the production process. PRONABIVE has many different processes and they depend of the vaccine but the process is almost the same.
The production process has different steps; first you have to grow the cell where the virus will be breeding, it takes around 3 days. After this, when you have got a determinate number of cells you have to inject the virus, it is one of the most important moments of the process because the success of the process will depend of this step and you must do it carefully and with precision. When the injection is successful the virus should grow up for 72 hours, after that you have got the virus and you have to recollect it. The virus is frozen at -40 (almost Calgary winter) for two weeks and is ready to make the vaccine. At this time the virus is used to make the vaccine dial. Even thought the process is easy it is very dangerous because you are working with an active virus and you can be infected easily if you don’t take the correct preventions and if you don’t follow the correct techniques.
Personally I enjoyed a lot to do this job because I could apply all the knowledge that I have got in my major and I learnt a lot. After I had been working in this laboratory I moved in another job where I could get better benefits and rewards. Even it was a long time ago I remember me as a biotechnology attending with pleasure and longing.
