Domino's for Breakfast, Hostel Style

Jen & I eat a lot of pizza, mostly from the Domino's Pizza Centro just down the road.

My Top 5 Hostel Bloopers

Not much explanation needed here. Living in a hostel means living with strangers, & living with strangers means living with bloopers!

Here's the list. Enjoy...


1) The Bedroom Break-in


One day, I hung/wrapped a plastic Hawaiian party necklace around part of the deadbolt on the inside of our door. Some time later, I went out, locking the deadbolt behind me.

When I came home, I found that I couldn't open our door. The plastic necklace had become tangled in the bolt, preventing it from sliding open. Oops. Luckily, the door opens out into the hall, meaning that the hinges are accessible from outside the room.

With the help of a neighbor, I used a butcher knife and a hammer to pop the door off its hinges & enter the room.


I removed the necklace & used it to tie a bandana around my makeshift electric tiki torch.

The best part of the story (or the worst) is this:

Though this incident occurred in the middle of the afternoon, despite being on the second floor, directly above the main office, none of the staff heard anything (apparently) or came to investigate. So much for security!

Funny Spanish Sex Bloopers

I recently posted a note about funny Spanish bloopers. I thought I'd write a separate post about funny Spanish sex bloopers, partly to keep the other post family-friendly & also because it's an easy way to generate some extra clicks. Anything with "sex" in the title (& lots of "sex  sex sex" in the body) is bound to attract attention! After all, you're here, right?


You said what?!?

Kicking BUTT at Dubai Palace Casino!

SO, Jen & I just got back from brunch & slots at our favorite casino in Cancun - the Dubai Palace. (I'll review this place soon in a separate post).

Brunch is 75 pesos. And you get 100 pesos in free credits to blow on slots. At least, that's what most people do...

THIS is why we love Shopping in Cancun!

SO, yesterday, after visiting fun (& uber-touristy) Market 28, Jen & I headed to our local supermarket (Chedraui) to do some shopping. We made out like bandits, scoring 6 kaiser buns, a jumbo roll of paper towel, chicken legs, a dog brush, sewing needles, 3 cakes (on sale), a 1kg box of Puffitos cereal & the biggest grapefruit I've ever seen -- all for under $20!


The best part of the trip? Antillano & Karat were doing some in-store marketing & offering free samples. There's nothing unusual about that, right? Except that Antillano & Karat make...


Rum and Vodka!


Jen & I both had vodka & cran-apple (is that still called Killer Koolaid?)... And, of course, we asked one of our fellow revelers to take some pix.
