*Check out that projection-mapping in a Mexican cactus garden. AntiVJ is second to none.

“The Ark
“A site specific installation by Romain Tardy & Squeaky Lobster

“Proyecta Oaxaca, festival Internacional de diseño y artes digitales
“Ethnobotanical garden of Oaxaca, Mexico
“April 19th & 21st 2013

“The Ark is an ephemeral, site specific installation built around the cacti that line the Aljibe, at the heart of the Ethnobotanical Garden of Oaxaca.

“Adopting a poetic approach, The Ark gives voice to the garden’s plants, participants in the work, the beating heart of the space and an unpredictable choir.

“Telling their story, revealing their fantasised and fantastical nature, The Ark is a mise-en-abîme of the trail. Loosely inspired by the myth of the Great flood, this audio-visual installation in three parts unfolds like a movie project into space, in which the wandering spectator plays the role of the camera.

“Concept & Visual design by Romain Tardy

“Music composed by Squeaky Lobster

“Project Management by Nicolas Boritch

AntiVJ

“On the invitation of Proyecta Oaxaca, several artists from the Antivj visual label have devised four visual and sonic works to be installed at the heart of the Ethnobotanical Garden in Oaxaca. Conceived of as a trail of light, these in-situ works offered the chance to (re)discover a singular and magical location in a particularly unique way – by opening the garden to the public at night.

“A trail of the senses, in several variations, it also presents spectators the perspective of four artists on this atypical space, in which ancient nature and new technology come face to face, like a distant echo of the ancestral techniques that have allowed for its conservation.

“The trail consisted of the following four works:

Onion Skin, by Olivier Ratsi
The Ark, by Romain Tardy
3Destruct | Oaxaca, by Yannick Jacquet, Jeremie Peeters & Thomas Vaquié
Réplica, by Laurent Delforge & Thomas Vaquié

“A project commissioned by Proyecta Oaxaca.

“All photos by Romain Tardy

“Video filmed by Xavier Chassaing & Romain Tardy.”

10 Travel Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Life Posted by Caroline Morse on Tuesday, February 4, 2014

10 Travel Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Life  Airfarewatchblog 10 Travel Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Life Posted by Caroline Morse on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 (Photo: Hand on Mountain Ledge via Shutterstock) From contracting parasites and bedbugs to illegally crossing a border or racking  up exorbitant cellular fees, these 10 travel errors could have serious health or  financial consequences that will haunt you long after your vacation is over. (Photo: End of Border via Shutterstock) Crossing the Wrong Border In some places, it's easy to wander over an unmarked and unguarded border  from one nation to another. While this might not be such a big deal if you're in,  say, the European Union, it can mean big trouble in other parts of the world.  Take the case of three Americans who were imprisoned from 2009 to 2011 for  allegedly crossing into Iran while hiking near the border in Iraqi Kurdistan. The  Iranian government accused the hikers of being spies and sentenced them to eight  years in prison. (One of the hikers was released after 14 months, and the remaining  two were let go after serving about two years and paying more than $465,000  each in bail money.) (Photo: Thinkstock/Digital Vision) Contracting Parasites You can't see them, and you might not know you have them until months or even  years later, but parasites can ruin your health. Microscopic parasites can be contracted  by drinking contaminated water, by eating undercooked meats or improperly washed  fruits and vegetables, or through a bug bite. One SmarterTravel staffer experienced the trauma of a parasite, and his story  gives us chills: "I don't know where I contracted [leishmaniasis]. They think  most likely when I was in Crete, since that timing seemed to fit and that was the  only place I'd been where this disease occurs, although it's still pretty rare there.  If it was Crete, the symptoms didn't appear until almost a year later. I was on and  off sick for about four months until they figured out what it was. Went through lots  of doctor's visits and tests. They were going to remove my spleen for diagnosis but found out what it  was right before that." (Photo: Bedbug via Shutterstock) Getting Bedbugs Contrary to their name, bedbugs can live almost anywhere—including in luggage, on  clothing, or on furniture. All it takes is one bedbug hitchhiking from a fabric airline  seat or hotel bed to infect your entire home. Getting rid of them once you have them  can cost you more than your trip—think thousands of dollars in extermination fees,  furniture replacement, and laundry bills. Be sure to always check your hotel mattress for signs of bedbug infestation, wash  your clothing immediately upon returning home, and consider using hard-sided  luggage to keep bugs out. (Photo: Thinkstock/iStock) Having Your Identity Stolen Opportunities for identity theft are everywhere while traveling. Making a transaction  with an unfamiliar ATM, using a public Wi-Fi connection, or being the victim of a  pickpocketing—these are all ways in which your identity could be stolen. Identity  thieves can open fraudulent accounts in your name and ruin your credit for years  while the matter is straightened out. Use secure Internet connections; consider using an RFID-blocking wallet; and check  your credit card, bank, and credit-report statements carefully and frequently after  traveling. (Photo: Burglar via Shutterstock) Having Your Home Burglarized Being away from home for an extended period of time can make your house a prime  target for burglars. Even something as innocuous as mentioning an upcoming vacation  on Facebook can alert thieves that your house will be empty. Consider the case of  a New Hampshire robbery ring, which used Facebook postings to target victims while  they were out of town. Limit who you tell that you'll be gone (including out-of-office emails, voicemails,  and social media postings) and freeze newspaper and mail deliveries so they don't  pile up when you're gone. (Photo: Thinkstock/iStock) Getting Locked Up Abroad The television show Locked Up Abroad may be entertaining to watch, but it won't  be so much fun if you have to live through it. Make sure you know the local laws  wherever you're going. For example, did you know that in Singapore, officials can  legally submit anyone(including tourists) to a drug test—which means that you could  get in trouble for illegal substances consumed before you even traveled? It gets  worse: Some narcotics offenses carry mandatory death penalties in Singapore. Or,  in the less-obviously-illegal department, a British couple received a one-month  prison sentence for kissing in public in Dubai. Familiarize yourself with local laws before traveling! (Photo: Kidnapped via Shutterstock) Getting Kidnapped Travelers, especially business travelers, can be easy targets for kidnappers looking  for financial or political gain. Last year, an American tourist was kidnapped, robbed,  and raped in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Four kidnappings in Honduras have been reported  to the U.S. embassy in the last two years, and in 2011 the Mexican government  reported a more than 300 percentincrease in kidnappings since 2005. Check the State Department's website for travel alerts and warnings for regions  that you are planning to visit—it will have good information on whether or not kidnapping  is a high risk and which areas should be avoided. (Photo: Drunk Man Passed Out via Shutterstock) Getting Too Drunk Knowing your limits while drinking alcohol is important, especially while traveling.  A drunken slip could mean lifelong consequences. Take the case of Joe Rickey  Hundley, a former executive who lost his job after he got drunk and slapped a  toddler on a plane. Be careful to always watch your surroundings while drinking  as well—the State Department warns of reports out of Thailand of tourists being  robbed after their food or drink was drugged with a sedative. Drink alcohol in moderation while traveling (and remember that being tired,  jet-lagged, or dehydrated can make you feel more drunk than you would under  normal conditions), and never accept a drink from a stranger. (Photo: Thinkstock/iStock) Not Turning Off Cellular Data Don't forget to turn off your cellular data (or set up an international plan) if you are  bringing your phone with you on the road. Consumers have been hit with unexpected  bills for exorbitant amounts (think $10,000) because they used their phones briefly while  abroad or they forgot to turn off cellular data/roaming. Consult our handy guide on using your smartphone abroad to avoid a surprise  savings-ruining bill. (Photo: Open Bottle via Shutterstock) Consuming Counterfeit Products Inadvertently buying a fake handbag in a foreign market may be annoying, but it's  nothing compared to what could happen if you consume a fake product. Multiple tourists have died in Indonesia after drinking methanol (a lethal substance)  that was sold to them as regular alcohol in a money-scamming scheme. Other travelers have experienced dire consequences from taking counterfeit medicines  while abroad. The CDC, for example, warns against buying antimalarial drugs while  abroad; many sold outside the United States are counterfeit and ineffective. Stick to bottled beer in places where counterfeit alcohol is a known problem, and buy  your medications before you go.

My Spanish Notes Una paja por favor

My Spanish Notes

---

Una paja por favor Posted: 08 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST Have you ever need to know how to ask for a straw in Spanish? Surprisingly, knowing how to say straw in Spanish can be more difficult than you might think. I remember when I learned how to ask for a straw.  I considered this a victory and moved on.  Then I discovered there was more than one word for straw.  After that I discovered there were actually quite a few words for straw.  Let's take a look at some of the words for how to say straw in Spanish:  Paja, pajita, caña, sorbete, cañita, pajilla,pitillo and popote.   If you're wondering why there are so many words for straw, it's because they're all regional.  I'm not sure if there is a generally accepted word for straw, so if you have any suggestions feel free to leave a comment. Let's revisit that list of translations for straw and I'll tell you what words are used in what country.  At least in general. Catalunya (Spain) - caña Rest of Spain - pajita Argentina - pajita, sorbete Peru- cañita, sorbete Dominican Republic, Cuba - sorbete Puerto Rico - sorbeto El Salvador, Costa Rica - pajilla Mexico - popote Colombia, Venezuela - pitillo This list is not meant to be exhaustive, those are just the words this gringo has heard of.  And the list comes with the additional disclaimer that it's based on my conversations, experience and opinion, so everyone may not agree with my list.   I also want to point out that in certain parts of Spain a caña can also be a beer, so you really need to know your audience. Now it's time to talk about the title of this post. ¿Una paja por favor? A straw please? Something as simple as asking for a paja can end up being a little embarrassing.  Yes, I know what you're thinking, how can asking for a straw be embarrassing? Let me explain. It turns out paja has another not so innocent meaning.  And by not so innocent I mean vulgar.  It's also a way of referring to masturbation in some countries.  I won't go into detail on this blog, but you can read more about that here, on my blog about Swearing in Spanish.   If you're the paranoid type when you ask for a straw using the word paja you can clarify things by asking for a paja para beber.  Or you can simply avoid the word altogether by using pajita instead. Let's get back to the real issue, straws. For those of you who like pictures, here's a nice photo that also serves as a handy reference.  It was created by Veinte Mundos, which is a great (free) podcast site.  You should check it out.   So what can you do to remember the right word at the right time?  My advice is to just learn the words the people you associate with use the most.  Beyond that you'll have to use good old-fashioned body language if you can't find the right word. And that's it.  Now you're equipped with everything you need to know for how to say straw Spanish.  Know any other words for straw or have some words of wisdom?  Leave your comments below! ¡Hasta la próxima!
