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

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.

suite  – pronounced sweet, and it’s a larger hotel room that usually has one or several rooms, similar to an apartment.

Suit – what you wear

I usually wear a suit to work
