As the Burrito Burns

Step into the surrealishious and amazing world of Mexico as told through the eyes and mind of a teacher who has spent the past 20 years living in the coastal city of Puerto Vallarta. A wide range of experiences stretching from the serious to the sublime: living, working, marrying, birthing, teaching, eating, drinking, frolicking and fraternizing and so much more. There is so much to see and do, to tell and be told the list never gets old here at "As the Burrito Burns."

What Does That Say?

Reading signs and menus that are poorly translated is an amusing passtime here in Vallarta. I thought I'd seen some of the best until I read these:

In a Bucharest Hotel Lobby:
The lift is being fixed for the nest day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.


In a Yugoslavian Hotel:
The flattening of underwear with pleasure is the job of the chambermaid.

In a Japanese Hotel:
You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.

In an Austrian Hotel catering to skiiers:
Not to preambulate the corridors in the hours of repose in the boots of ascension.

On the menu of a Polish Hotel:
Salad a firm's own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion.

Outside a Hong Kong Dress shop:
Ladies have fits upstairs.

In a Zurich Hotel:
Because of the impropriety of entertaining guests of the opposite sex in the bedroom, it is suggested that the lobby be used for this purpose.
