A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

How to make your flight attendant like you

By George Hobica of Airfarewatchdog.com

Maybe you don’t want to please your cabin crew next time you fly. I know, I know, it’s
 their job to be nice, you're 
the customer, they're the employee. But if you're good to them, they'll be extra nice to 
you. So here's how to charm them.

1. Say hello! If a flight attendant greets you upon boarding at the Jetway, say hi back. 
Don't just ignore them. A simple "good morning" or "good evening" does it. How 
would you like to greet 20 people in a row and be greeted by silence? Well, that's what
 usually happens.

2. Listen to the safety demo. It's just polite. Put down your iPad and Kindle. When was 
the last time you really listened? If it was more than a few years ago, it's time for a 
refresher. At the very least don't talk loudly to your neighbor when a flight attendant
 is standing in front of you trying to keep you safe.

3. Headphones off! Take your headphones off when they ask you what you'd like to 
drink so they don’t have to repeat it three times. How would you like it if they were 
wearing headphones when talking to you? It's the Golden Rule.

4. Be specific when ordering. When you ask for coffee or tea, specify milk or no milk, 
sweetener or not, without being asked as in "I’d like coffee with milk please" or "I’d
 like coffee, black." Not only does it make their job easier, but everyone on the plane
 will get served more quickly.

5. Same for cold drinks. "I’d like Diet Coke, no ice please" or "Water, with ice and a 
slice of lemon please."

6. Say please and thank you. As in the examples above, say please and thank you 
when asking for and receiving something. Again, common courtesy that will get you 
treated extra well. A flight attendant once told me "We thought you were company" 
(meaning that I worked for the airline) because I was so polite.

7. Magazines! Donate copies of your current magazines to the crew. After you finish
 reading this week's US Weekly or GQ, give it to your flight attendant. Flight attendants 
love to read magazines when they're off duty or on break.

8. Treats. It's perfectly permissible to bring a little tasty treat for your crew. Just make 
sure it’s safety-sealed—not your homemade muffins, which might be considered a safety 
hazard. I bring boxes of Walker’s Scottish shortbread or factory-sealed chocolates. 
They're always a big hit and you may be rewarded with a free cocktail or maybe even 
get reseated in the exit row. It happens!

9. Pens! People are always asking flight attendants for pens, whether to complete 
immigration and customs forms or to simply do the crossword puzzle. Bring a few
 extra cheap pens, bundle them up and give them to your crewmember. It 
may not be as enjoyable as a box of chocolates, but they will surely put them to good use.

10. Wheels in! Try to put your carryon bag with wheels or handles facing in 
before commandeering twice as much space putting it horizontally. And, for 
Heaven's sake, don't put your jackets or tiny bags in the bin. That takes up 
space for larger items that have to go there, and these smaller items easily can
fit atop existing bags once everyone has boarded or underneath the seat. Flight 
attendants will tell you that boarding is the most stressful part of their job, and 
by exhibiting an ounce of courtesy and common sense, it helps the entire plane 
get on the way more quickly.

11. Stay out of the aisles.
 Make your best effort to stay out of the aisles when the 
carts are brought out or when the plane is boarding. Try to use the bathroom 
before boarding or after takeoff, but if the crew begins their service, it is best to 
stay seated. The carts are heavy and awkward to maneuver, and there's no 
reason to become an obstacle to them unless absolutely necessary. And if a 
crewmember reminds you that the seatbelt sign is still illuminated, remember 
that they are just doing their job.

12. Tell the airline.
 If a flight attendant offers exceptionally nice service, most 
airlines have a mechanism for recognizing them. Ask for their employee number
 and note the flight number.

Where will all this kindness get you? No, you probably won't get an inflight 
upgrade (although flight attendants do have the ability to offer them if there's room). 
Maybe the crew will forget to charge you for your cocktail. Maybe they'll 
reseat you if the child behind you is wailing like a banshee. I've been offered 
a bottle of wine at the end of the flight on more than one occasion. But 
sometimes being nice is its own reward.

What to See at the Cumbre Tajin Festival, Mexico: Tool, Primus, Jack Johnson, and Many More MAR 8

What to See at the Cumbre Tajin Festival, Mexico: Tool, Primus, Jack Johnson, and Many More

Jack Johnson, Primus, and Tool are among the many international bands that will play theCumbre Tajin music festival in the state of Veracruz in eastern Mexico on March 20-24, 2014.
Besides bands from the U.S., the festival features some of the biggest names from the wide world of music in Spanish.
And although rock music rules at the festival, cultural events, a full day of electronic music, and the inclusion of popular bands from traditional Latin styles pack a solid dose of diversity.
What’s more, Cumbre Tajin takes place at the Tajin archeological site, ruins of a massive pre-Colombian city of angular pyramids and crumbling palaces rising up from the deep green jungle. By night colorful floodlights will light up towering pyramids, and by day numerous stands and displays will provide information about the long, mysterious history of El Tajin.
The Tajin area is home to the Totonaca culture. Neither Aztecs nor Mayans, the Totonaca have a unique vision of the world, with their own language, colorful clothing, rich food, and ritual dances and ceremonies, such as the Papantla fliers, indigenous acrobats who spin in the air from tall poles with thick ropes tied to their ankles.
The Papantla fliers and many other manifestations of the Totonaca culture will play a prominent role in the festival.

THE BANDS

The theme of Cumbre Tajin is La Revelacion de Lo Posible (Revealing What Is Possible) and, reflecting the festival’s strong emphasis on diversity, a different musical genre or style is broadly represented during each day of the 5-day festival.
Thursday has a chill singer-songwriter vibe, with Jack Johnson and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros headlining. Jack Johnson’s sun-and-surf anthems echoing off ancient pyramids is sure to be a good kickoff for the event, gently easing hordes of music-crazed fans into Cumbre Tajin’s distinct, musically-inclusive vibe.
Tool, Primus, Puscifer, Tomahawk, and Mexican band Vayijel play Friday, heavy bands that challenge classification, twisting metal, hard rock, progressive, funk, and jams into their own visions of musical madness.
The five bands of Saturday night, well known in the Spanish-speaking world, give a good introduction to the current state of Rock en Español. Los Amigos Invisibles from Venezuela incorporate Latin rhythms, funk, and electronica, while headliners Babasonicos from Argentina and Fobia from Mexico play more straight-ahead rock.
Los Amigos Invisibles:
Sunday is international DJ day, with Afrojack (Holland), Nervo (Australia), the Crystal Method (U.S.), Samantha Ronson (U.K.), and The Wookies (Mexico).
The final night, Monday, has the most diverse mix of bands, featuring both legends and newcomers from distinct genres of Latin music.
Jenny and the Mexicats mix rock with folk, flamenco, and rockabilly, while Los Angeles Negros from Chile, a classic group founded in 1967, play smooth big-band ballroom ballads.
Finally, closing out the festival are Mexican superstars Banda el Recodo. Mexican Banda music, full of horns and passionate singing, is the popular style that you most often hear on Mexican radio. Its cultural – though not musical – equivalent north of the border would be country music.
Banda el Recodo:
I’ll be headed to Cumbre Tajin in a week to volunteer as an English/Spanish interpreter. For a full review of the festival, and to find out whether or not I get to meet my childhood heroes Les Claypool, Adam Jones (Tool), and Mike Patton (Tomahawk, formerly Mr. Bungle and Faith No More), please check back.
