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.ivan

My Spanish Notes El Caló Mexicano, Parte 2
My Spanish Notes |
Posted: 23 Nov 2014 12:45 PM PST
Not too terribly long ago I wrote about El Caló Mexicano, or Mexican slang. Rather than write yet another top 10 list, I decided to write about some very common Mexican slang that your average gringo probably isn't aware of. Today I'm going to fulfill the promise I made about writing a part two.
Let's cover a few greetings first. You've probably heard of the expression Qué onda, which means what's up, but here's a couple that might have escaped you. ¿Qué tranza? ¿Qué show? ¿Qué pex? I don't know that any of these have a direct translation, they're just additional ways to say what's up. These are very slangy and will most likely shock your Mexican friends when they hear you say this. ¡Que oso! Literally speaking, this means what a bear. But if you're not having a conversation about bears then this means how embarrassing.
That's embarrassing. I don't know you.
We know these as a Volkswagon. But in Mexican Spanish you'll probably hear it referred to as a vocho. You'll hear people talk about dinero (money) all the time, but they may be doing it with words you aren't familiar with. Feria andvaro. No traigo varo wey I don't have any money dude Prestame una feria wey Loan me some money dude While not uniquely Mexican, there are other ways to talk about money. I blogged about this a while back - Más minutos menos lana. Let's keep going. In standard Spanish to say you don't like someone you can use caer bien or caer mal. But in Mexican Spanish you say.... Ese wey me cae gordo I don't like that guy If you really like someone then you can say... Tu amiga me cae a todo madre I really like your friend And keep in mind with the expression caer bien we're talking about if you like someone, not if you like like them. For that you need gustar. If you find yourself flipping a coin, you can say Águila o sol - Heads or tails Here's a good one. The next time someone asks you cómo van las cosas (How are things going), you can reply.... Atole con lo mismo The same as always And finally, when your friends ask how you know all of this , you can tell them... Porque soy más mexicano que el chile Because I'm more Mexican than the chile And that's it for today. Make sure you subscribe via email or follow the blog and keep reading for more Mexican slang and other great posts! |

Answers (2)
Rated with the highest score- J answered 5 hours agoHello. Regarding hotels, I can not say precisely. I have been passing these places. but if you google maps you put some hotels and comments from those who have stayed in these places ... not an expensive area. so I assure you find easily any with the budget that you request. As for the booths, depending on the route you take ... the most viable routes are VIA ACAPULCO AND VIA PUEBLA-OAXACA. I commented that to make the choice via puebla-oaxaca, you spend it stands in approx. Auto 350 pesos. if you need more detailed information write to me at my email. jogarc19@yahoo.com.mx
