Jogjakarta –
I’m trying to looking for anything, if I can get a cheap ticket – I’m looking for anything too see if I can get a cheap ticket.
Im trying to look for…
Back-up plan – second alternative
What is your back-up plan if your plans fall through?
Brilliant – very good
This hotel is a brilliant alternative to the 4 star alternatives.
Unremarkable – not that special
On the surface, this mid-size hotel in Cancún’s hotel zone is pretty unremarkable
Notably – obvious, worth mentioning, pointing out
The tile-floored rooms are big and clean, with terraces or balconies – though they’re not notably stylish.
Minor miracle – small miracle
Aubergine – vegetable 茄子
full beach-bum = someone who likes to just stay at the beach all day.
Usually, a full beach-bum escape means limiting your diet to coconut drinks and fish dinners
Scuffed – lived in, a little broken in the edges but still functioning.
At this blocky old hotel in Isla’s main town, a few blocks from the Cancún ferry terminal, the rooms are standard Mexican budget-style: scuffed but clean tiled floors,
Dutch-run = people from Holland are Dutch, so this means that the people owning and running the hotel are Dutch.
The duch- run hotel is…..
suite – pronounced sweet, and it’s a larger hotel room that usually has one or several rooms, similar to an apartment.
The big suite has a well-stocked library and large French doors through which you can see the water (the beach here is shaded by both palms and pines).
Suit – what you wear
I usually wear a suit to work
