Where to Find the Fastest Wi-Fi on the Road

Posted by Dara Continenza on Wednesday, July 30, 2014

If you've got a need for (Internet) speed, a new report from Wefi can tell you which
 airports, hotel chains, and even beaches are best when it comes to connectivity.

The company, which collects and measures mobile data, tracked 45 million hot spots
 from April 1 to June 15, 2014. What they found was that the biggest and most popular 
destinations often don't crack the top 10.

Leading the pack of airports, Detroit wins for fastest Wi-Fi, with an average speed of
 4.63 mbps. (This writer can attest to the decent Internet speeds at Detroit Metro, for 
she once spent an entire eight-hour delay there successfully streaming Friday Night 
Lights.) The Red Roof Inns chain tops the hotel category, with an average speed of 
4.34 mbps. And, for beach seekers who like to pack a laptop (who are you?), C
learwater Beach, Florida, is your hot spot in the sun (although beachside Wi-Fi 
speeds are low across the board).

Here is the complete list of airports, hotels, and beaches with the fastest Wi-Fi.

LONELY PLANET REVIEW

This ranch-style eatery with long tables in a large, open-sided barn is worth an expedition from anywhere on the coast for its superb grilled meats. Order some frijoles charros (bean soup with bacon bits) and queso fundido (melted cheese) to start, followed by some tender arrachera (skirt steak) and chistorra sausage for a feast you won’t forget. El Colorado is on the road to Puerto Ángel, 2km from Pochutla (M$40 by taxi).

There’s excellent mezcal and draft Corona Oscura beer, and the costillas ahumadas (smoked pork ribs) are another great option. When host Pedro is in the mood, he sings sentimental ranchera songs.

Views of Mexico City

JAN 23

Posted by TC

I live in Toluca, a few hours from Mexico City, or D.F. as it is most commonly known in Spanish. By some estimates the 3rd largest city in the world, D.F. has sights, sounds, confusion, beauty, comedy, tragedy, horror and fun.

You can just make out the plaza below, which is the zocalo above. This is the center of the city, with the cathedral, government buildings and giant flag.

Once the tallest building in Latin America, the Torre Latino Americana gives great views of the sprawling metropolis.

Up the street is the monument to the Revolution.

On the right you can see Iztaccihuatl, one of Mexico City’s two nearby volcanoes. All the people were a protest by farmer’s unions from the south of Mexico.

A parade:

These are the three kings. They bring children presents after Christmas, on Jan 4 or something like that. You can have your picture taken with them, like Santa. Somehow blackface isn’t yet politically incorrect in Mexico:

This is the Basilica of Guadalupe, where the famous painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe is kept. You can read a little more about her here.

Get your photo with the virgin!

In the market across from the basilica I find a shrine to Santa Muerte, Saint Death. Here is where you make your dark request for revenge.

Take one home, why don’t you?

Airplane Makers Plot to Cram More Bums on Seats

By George Hobica of Airfarewatchdog

Don't tell me that the issue of standing room airplane "seats" is rearing its ugly head again. You may remember this front-page article in the New York Times back in April of 2006, written by freelancer Christopher Elliott, stating that Airbus had approached some Asian airlines about installing "standing seating" on its A380 aircraft.

Airbus immediately denied the story, calling it "idiotic," and the Times published a mea culpa correction and the paper's ombudsman wrote this damning article about the whole sad affair although Elliott more or less stood by his story, as Consumerist.com reported.

But wait. Hugo Martin in the LA Times is reporting that Airbus has in fact patented a design for such "seating" (actually, they look more like bicycle saddles than seats). Martin quotes Airbus spokeswoman Mary Anne Greczyn saying, “Many, if not most, of these concepts will never be developed, but in case the future of commercial aviation makes one of our patents relevant, our work is protected. Right now these patent filings are simply conceptual.” So maybe Elliott wasn't so "idiotic" after all.

But what is pure idiocy is the whole concept of stand up air travel, even if it (presumably) led to lower airfares. While it would be fodder for stand up comedians, it's a crazy idea and if the story had appeared on April 1st I'd be laughing. But there's nothing funny about Airbus' patent application. First of all, airplanes are already packed to the max, and since the airlines could cram more stand-up passengers in their metal tubes they'd have a harder time complying with FAA regulations mandating that all passengers can be safely evacuated in an emergency in 90 seconds, even if not all doors are operable. So that would mean more means of egress at a minimum (although presumably, since standing passengers are already standing, they could escape faster, and there'd be room for more exits with all the seats removed). And what would the "brace position" look like? Would you rest your hands on the shoulders of the passenger in front of you? And how would the seat belts work? It's all pretty silly, but that's what they said at Kitty Hawk.

Oh, and not to be outdone, Boeing recently announced, says USA Today, that it is developing a "high-density" 737-MAX model that will cram an extra 11 passengers onboard, resulting in a 29-inch seat pitch vs. the typical 31 inches. News reports suggest that the new model will be targeted to airlines that wish to cram as many passengers as possible in their planes. (Maybe that's why they call it the "MAX"). But these days, isn't that just about every airline?

¡Vamos a un teybol dans! Posted: 27 Jul 2014 01:27 PM PDT One look at the picture and you'll know exactly what today's topic is. Yep, you guessed, strip clubs.  You definitely won't find this lesson in your Spanish book.  Some of what I'm going to share with you is Mexican Spanish, so keep that in mind. Before you can even go to a strip club, you need to know what they're called. In Mexico, sin duda, the word you want is teibol.  And it's pronounced exactly like the word table in English. Vamos a un teibol Let's go to a strip club But as you can see by the picture there's more than one way to spell it, but I think teibol is more common than teybol.  And yes, you'll also see it written as just plain old table. The names for these places vary from country to country, so here are some of the words you're likely to hear: Club de streaptease, local de Striptease, estrip club, cabaré, bar de strippers and burdel. So what do you call the ladies who work in teibols? That's right, teiboleras.  There are many other names that teiboleras go by so let's start with the ones that have direct English counter parts. Bailarina exótica - Exotic Dancer Bailarina - Dancer Estriper/stripper - Stripper (Yes, this is Spanglish) Bailarina de cabaré - Caberet Dancer This next set of words may be easier to understand if you read a post I made on my other blog: ¿Por qué estás en cueros en la sala? So now that you've done your homework,  here's the second set of words: Encueradas,  encueratriz, desnudista, bichicoris (bichi), cuerita, estripticera If you read the post I pointed you to above, this will be a quick review. To be "en cueros" is to be naked.  Therefore an encuerada is a naked woman.  Now, I'm not exactly sure where cueritacomes from.  Cuero refers to leather, or animal skin, so a cuerita may very well be a female leather worker.  If you've got the 411 on this please share by leaving a comment below. An encueratriz is a woman who is in the business of getting naked. Desnudar means to get naked.  A desnudista is therefore a woman who gets naked. As for estripticera, all I can tell you is that it's yet another word stripper. So now it's time to talk about some of the things you'll see inside a strip club.  Well, I mean, you know, these are things someone told me you'll see in a strip club. The stripper pole is called a tubo.  And I'm not sure that sweet little abuelita should be anywhere near one. Proponen que el baile del tubo esté en las Olimpiadas They're proposing that pole dancing should be in the Olympics The stage is called a pisto.  And of course once the music starts our bailerina is going to quita la ropa (take off her clothes) or se desnuda (get naked). If your teibolera isn't getting naked fast enough, you can use this little jingle to let her know. Mucha ropa, mucha ropa... Literally it means "a lot of clothes".  Figuratively in English: Mucha ropa Take it off You gotta sing it though: mucha roopa, mucha roopa.  Stretch that "o" out a little bit on the word ropa.  I couldn't find an audio file, so I decided to record one myself using my very gringo accent.  Here's what it sounds like. Your browser does not support the audio element. Upgrade your browser to one that does  Of course the absolute best way to get a bailerina desnuda (naked) is to dar propina. ¿Me das propina bebe? Are you going to tip me baby? Si te quitas la ropa te doy más propina If you take your clothes off I'll give you a bigger tip FYI, Dar propina is the expression you use for any kind of tipping, not just in a teibol dans. Once a teibolera finishes her baile (dance) the DJ (pronounced el D yay) will shout out aplauso, apluaso - applause.  I mean, come on, this person just got naked for you, a little aplauso is just common courtesy. Since you're in a teibol, a teibolera may offer her services to you. ¿Quieres un baile? Would you like a dance? ¿Quieres un privado? Do you want a private dance? Y ya está.  Everything you need to get you started in the world of teybol dans.  ¡Hasta la próxima!
