Happy new year! I am in El Salvador on a whistle stop group tour through Central America. I am not sold on the group tour aspect (individually most people are lovely but as a group the 20 somethings are apt to lapse into tedious single entendres and loud forced laughter which I do not enjoy one bit) but it is relaxing not to have to make plans and just get on a bus when told to without trying to speak Spanish.

I am looking up the hotel I think we'll be staying in next, and the website has its Trip Advisor review headlines in the side. These are the most recent:

Heaven...
STOP KILLING ANIMALS
Nice relaxing beach place!
OWNER SPAT ON A MAN!

This has made me quite excited to see such a divisive place.

On another note, anyone have a recommendation for a desktop (not phone/tablet) podcast management thing? I want it to download episodes of things I tell it to automatically and that's mostly it. If it also synched across android devices that would be a bonus but the desktop stuff is the main thing. Podcast Republic seems to get good press but personal recs would be appreciated.

Oh, I quite enjoyed doing a group tour in India, but then WELL ANYWAY. Actually I was the youngest person on that tour, by some distance, and not being around the young really helps. Have fun anyway. I hope you don't get spat on by the hotel owner.

I am less optimistic now I have read the below, which when it stops being incomprehensible is dreadful. I am going to stuff myself to the point of unhappiness to undermine them.


Special Diets
Now who do you know that’s not a special diet.? Ok.. we all get it now.. “you are what you eat”!! That being said please be assured that whatever it is that you are wanting with respect to making your vacation a positive experience regarding the food you eat we are right there with you. The idea of returning from your vacation and going on a diet will not be necessary. Typically most clients loose a little weight through healthy eating and exercise.

Wait... what? What are they trying to say there? It is bizarrely offensive.

I have since discovered that they also have a late night pizza place so it seems a bizarre bit of weirdo posturing.
