Per 1 A family of five sit at their dinner table in the United States. Surrounded by novelties of their travels, unnecessary items from faraway lands, and rare items from places that speak other languages. They quietly speak about where they should venture off next and decide that they should go to Mexico. Wondrous palm trees, unbelievably crystal clear waters, and incredible cloudless skies. There is a resort filled with incredibly designed rooms and incredibly expensive furniture that litters around the entire resort. Every room is filled with delicate pillows, embracing comforters, and comfortable chairs.The walls seem to be lined with gold and other rare and luxurious metals that would cost millions of dollars to replace if somebody were to scratch or slight damage any part of it. Waves roar as they come within twenty feet of the exit of the resort and this beautiful water is free to explore for anybody

The people there do not live a life of luxury but instead, serve people to experience a life of luxury. Cheap clothes, cheap products in every store, and cheap cars and bikes that clutter and crowd the small streets that are used to get everywhere in the small town. Those same streets smell like burnt and old oil from the multitude of car accidents that happen every day, spill oil down all the streets, and injure and kill people just trying to get to wherever they needed to be. The streets are loud and nothing is organized as people come and go on the street as they want and speed limits are never obeyed. Waves silently crash into dangerous rocks ready to pull in another victim into the murky brown and somehow viscous water. The water brings in the entire body of somebody in the blink of an eye and people have almost no chance of
When Kaplan enters the United States at the Nogales port of entry, what he calls the “Rusty Iron Curtain,” he speaks of a transformation in socioeconomic structure, which he basically summarizes by comparing to hotels. A Mexican one, only two years old where the doors don’t close properly and the walls are cracking, and an American one, which after more than a quarter century is still in “excellent condition, from the fresh paint to the latest-model fixtures.
The Mexican-American War - Debate The Mexican-American war began in 1846, but reasons for the war began much earlier when Mexico made the crucial decision to entice settlers to Texas, with the promise of affordable land grants, actions which eventually led to the annexation of Texas by the United States. All they had to do was accept Mexico 's requirements of becoming citizens, speaking Spanish and converting to Catholicism, this to people who were use to a government that people had rights and freedoms, not experienced in Mexico. Mexico wanted them to develop these long uninhibited lands of Texas, in hopes that it would promote development in the area.(Nardo, 1991, p. 16). The selling of land grants started in the 1820s and the Mexican-American James W. Fannin took over the garrison at Goliad manning it with 350 untrained volunteers with guns, who would be considered pirates to Mexico.
Today we live in a world where war never sleeps. War is a term used to explain conflict between two nations, or within a nation. This particular war was between two nations, Mexico and the United States. About a century and a half ago in 1846, on what was thought to be the Mexican-American border, many American and Mexican soldiers lost their lives. The war was an on-going feud, that had and still has many pros and cons. The U.S. was unjustified in going to war with Mexico because many U.S. citizens disagreed and sided with Mexico. Mexico owned and took care of the land first, and the United States deliberately caused this war to occur. As awesome as a
In Chiapas, there are 0.3 hospital beds per 1000 Chiapas residents, however, there are 7 hotel beds for every 1000 tourists(CITE, 26). With the government not trusting the people with loans, many of the people have made their own small businesses in order to make a few pesos off of these tourists, an example of this are children in Guadalajara charging tourists 5-25 pesos to have their picture taken with an “authentic Mexican,” to give the tourist a more authentic Mexican feeling (CITE SECONDARY). It is disheartening to see these people who live in a land so full of resources and opportunity, having to live in such impoverished conditions, and having to cater to wealthy tourists in order to make their stay more comfortable and happier for just a few pesos to bring back to their broken down shed where they live. This capitalist approach that prioritizes wealthy tourists over the indigenous people who inhabit the land also has a large effect on the education and healthcare of these rural people. While there are lavish hotels for the tourists, the towns people have a broken down shack that serves as a multi-purpose community center for them as a church, meeting room, school, and adding to that, the education system only goes up to grade 3, and teachers are
America’s war with Mexico had its supporters and its critics. In 1821 Mexico was declared free from the mother country, Spain. Mexico was stretched from Guatemala to Oregon. It was equal to the size of the United States. It had emptiness near their northern lands. In order to have a bigger population was to welcome settlers from America. America declared war with Mexico because Texas applied to the United States of America for annexation, they were turned down because Congressmen thought it would anger Mexico. Then things changed and James K. Polk was the president and he annexed Texas for land and Mexico didn’t like that they took Texas. In 1846-1848, at Texas the U.S. and Mexico had a war. Critics ask does the U.S. have a right to go to war with Mexico. Manifest Destiny was annexation, Alamo, and envoy. The Mexican War

The story of “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” (Hoffman, 2012) focuses on a group of British retirees who decide to travel for their retirement to less costly and exotic Indian retirement community/ hotel. The group is lured by promotions for the recently reconstructed Marigold Hotel and are surprised when they arrive to find the hotel in disarray. Though the new surroundings is less luxurious than they had imagined, they are changed by their experiences.
There are a few hotels here. Most don’t have internet service. Such as Salty Lake hotel is made of entirely of salt, everything the bricks, chairs, tables, and walls. The walls are held together with a salt mix. Hotel Playa Blanca has to have water driven in from other places. There is no heat at Hotel Playa Blanca. In 2002 Salty Lake hotel had to be rebuilt because there was a pollution problem and the area was unsafe. The new Salty Lake hotel was built near the periphery of the Salar De Uyuni. After this i...
I desperately attempted to free myself from the relentless grasp of boredom. I looked out the window, but like the thousand times before, I saw nothing but farmland hugging the earth for miles. I was visiting my dad's home country, the Dominican Republic, for the first time in my life. The night before I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes the thoughts of all the enjoyable activities I would be doing flooded my mind. I couldn’t wait to go out to sea on my Uncle's small fishing boat, swimming in the crystal clear waters surrounding Punta Cana, and kayaking to a small nearby island with my parents. But first, I would have to experience a 3 hour long drive to go to the quinceanera of a cousin that I had never even met.
When Eva and Sonu Shivdasani made Soneva Fushi as well as their home on the uninhabited island of Kunfunadhoo in the Maldives in 1995 they had no idea that their intensely personal vision of a locally crafted villa and environmentally responsible everyday life would form the basis of a fruitful collection of world-class hotels, resorts and spas. But that's correctly what happened. Soneva Fushi was the first 'castaway' resort in the Maldives, new ideas a trend for back-to-nature luxury holidays. It established a blueprint for a very much acclaimed world-wide business, followed by spectacular Soneva Kiri on the undamaged Thai island of Koh Kood in 2009.
Summer 2014 I visited a beach in Mexico,with me three relatives Brenda, Jesus , and Karla.The water was crystal blue, not like any other beach i've seen before. Brenda had chocolate brown hair that was clutched in one long braid and Jesus had mysterious dark brown eyes. Karla had light caramel hair that was let loose, every time the wind blew it was as if her hair grew a set of wings and flew with the breeze.
The Hotel industry has become very important in the past years due to immense traveling and growth of international business. The Hotel industry not only plays an important role in the life of people but as well as the economy of the country. I spent an hour of my day relaxing in the lobby at the Fontainebleau resort in Miami, while on vacation with my family visiting from out of state. It was my first time staying at the resort so I was eager to check it out, after seeing such great reviews on Yelp and hearing great things from friends who have been there in the past. The employees working at the resort were very welcoming, professional and willing to go above and beyond to help their guests. The check-in process was very quick due to having
