Customer review:
Breathable, comfortable, thick but not heavy. Seems to be very good shielding and protection with social distancing (not medical mask). Face covering appears to be one layer, with double layer edging. No filter pocket, but paper towel staying in place. Strong, very neat seams, excellent craftsship. Long, sturdy nose bridge, glasses not fogging up. Top corners of nose bridge can poke through knitting slightly, but they're not leaving holes and they don't stay pushed through once wire is flattened down; stretchable ribbing, so threading staying intact. Nose wire not centered exactly, but able to move it carefully; will need to be mindful to not puncture binding if have to re-position/re-secure. Mask material 95% cotton, 5% spandex. Two black and two white in one box (plus one pair good quality off-white disposable latex gloves included). Gloves & masks seem to fit me (adult female/medium size). Snug without feeling overly tight. Fabric ear loops not adjustable, but comfortable; they're softer than plain elastic so don't dig in, but thicker and may be a bit too short and possibly pull a little at ears, but they're not slipping off. (At first I thought ear loops were too loose. I also wear extra blue light lenses when using electronics which may account for extra space being taken up on ears.) No bad odor of masks. White mask not as white as inside of black mask, but white mask looks white. Standard shipping didn't take long, much less than estimated time. Was offered free set for honest review. Wish more companies would offer incentives to review, as I find ratings so helpful. Would like to write about other purchases, just can't seem to find time, and offer helped me "make" time. Haven't washed masks yet. Will try to update washing, ear loop length. So far, masks seem to be excellent design/quality/construction, exactly what I was trying to find for everyday general use in one pack. Thank you so much, "Hopeurwell," too! - dihersch

How to Survive Airport Security?
Do you always feel uneasy when going through security checkpoints at airports before your flight departs? Here are some Airport Security Checkpoint strategies. Just clear these and you're good to go!
When you walk through the security gate, or when your baggage goes through the metal detector, and the alarm goes "beep, beep, beep, beep! When the alarm goes off, you wonder what you have caught!
However, security checkpoints are not scary as long as you check your baggage carefully. Let's check what you should pay attention to at security checkpoints so that you can pass through with impunity.
This article introduces the case of domestic flights.
How long before I have to pass through?
Each airline has its own cutoff time for passing through security checkpoints. Especially in the case of LCCs, boarding gates are often located far from security checkpoints. Please be aware that the deadline is earlier for LCCs because the boarding gates are often farther away from the security checkpoints and it is expected to take more time.
For JAL, ANA, and Skymark, the deadline is 20 minutes before departure.
Peach and Jetstar: 25 minutes before departure.
This is the "deadline" time. Rushing in at the last minute can cause trouble.
It is better to pass through the security checkpoint with plenty of time to spare, then relax on a bench near the boarding gate and spend the time until departure in a graceful manner.
Measures to Prevent Transmission of the New Coronavirus
At some airports, body temperature checks are conducted near the entrance to security checkpoints. Since the temperature is taken by thermography, you do not need to wait in line, but if you are stopped by an officer, follow their instructions.
If you run through the airport just before the deadline, your body temperature will temporarily rise, and you may be stopped and not be able to make it in time... This can cause problems, so please allow plenty of time to get to the security checkpoint.
Also, you will have more chances to come in contact with things at the security checkpoint as you move your baggage in and out. Hand sanitizer is available at the security checkpoint, so be sure to disinfect your hands in a timely manner.
Items that must not be worn when passing through the metal detector
The following items may not be worn or carried in your pockets while passing through the gate.
Put them in your bag or on the tray provided at the security checkpoint before passing through the gate.
* Electronic devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, earphones, watches, etc.
* Wallets
* Metal items such as accessories
* Other metal items in your pockets (coins, keys, digital cameras, smoking accessories, small items, etc.)
* Belts with large metal buckles or metal ornaments
* Boots that cover the heels
If your cell phone, keys, wallet, etc. are in your bag to be inspected as hand luggage, you do not need to take them out. You do not need to take out the items in your jacket pockets either, as they will be taken off and put through the inspection.
If you prepare them by rummaging around in the inspection area, it will take a long time and the pressure from people behind you may gradually increase.... By putting them in your bag in advance, you can shorten the time it takes to get ready before and after inspection, and prevent forgetting to pick them up after inspection.
Although it is not highly likely to happen on domestic flights, zippers on hoodies and other clothing may react, so it may be better to take them off.
If there is a metal reaction with the metal detector, you will be re-inspected. You will be instructed to go through a contact inspection (body check), remove your footwear (shoes), belts, items in your pockets, etc., and go through the gate again.
Items to be removed from your bag and checked
The following items will not be allowed to pass through the X-ray process without being removed from your bag.
If you leave the following items in your bag and let them pass through the X-ray, they will be checked again.
Therefore, please remove the following items from your bag and place them on a tray to be checked separately before passing through the X-ray.
* PCs and tablets
* Water bottles, tumblers, PET bottles
* Sprays
* Hair irons
* Smoking lighters
Water bottles, tumblers, and other beverages will be checked by opening the lid and checking the smell or taking a sip in front of a staff member. Even if they are empty, they will be checked, so take them out of your bag.
Unopened PET bottles will be passed through an X-ray machine, and if the attendant can see it, it is OK!
If you have any of the above items to be taken out of your bag, put them together in advance so that they can be easily removed before proceeding to the security checkpoint.
Items that are not allowed in carry-on baggage
The following items must be checked in at the airport counter.
In other words, these items will be caught at the security checkpoint and cannot be carried on board as carry-on baggage.
* Knives (scissors, cutters, etc.)
* Pointed objects/ bats (e.g., pincers, golf clubs, baseball bats, etc.)
If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be accepted as carry-on baggage.
If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be checked in at the security checkpoint.
You must either dispose of them as abandoned items or return to the airline counter and re-check them in or return to the airline counter and re-check the baggage.
One last check! Are you prepared in advance?
At the entrance to the security checkpoints, there are also signs for prohibited items and items that must not be brought through the security checkpoint.
There are also signs at the entrance to the security checkpoints that list prohibited items and items that are not allowed to pass through. Please make sure to check it again.
Important!
When passing through the security checkpoint, each passenger will need a terminal displaying an airline ticket or barcode.
If you are too nervous about going through the security checkpoints, you may be asked to bring your ticket or barcode.
If you are nervous about going through security checkpoints, you may not be able to remove any items you are wearing or take out of your bag.
Some people are so nervous about going through security checkpoints that they forget where they put their tickets and barcodes. Many people forget where they put their tickets and have to search for them. This can cause problems for the people behind you, so be sure to have your ticket ready at hand. It is important to have your ticket ready at hand.
Some people may think this is a complicated process, but it is not. Security checkpoints are an important fortress to protect our safety in the sky.
If you pay attention to the information presented here, you will have nothing to fear at security checkpoints!
There is nothing to be afraid of at the security checkpoints! You can go through security checkpoints with confidence. All you have to do is follow the flow of the security checkpoint and the guidance of the security personnel.
You will pass through the security checkpoint smoothly.

It should be Pronounced as "WAH-HAH-KAH" ! 💀: Oaxaca, Mexico
Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more
¡Qué bella es Cholula y para muestra el Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios 💫! Esta iglesia, todo un tesoro arquitectónico, es considerada la más grande de este Pueblo Mágico, ¿lo sabías?#VisitMéxico #Cholula #Puebla pic.twitter.com/n9guCwQjnm

Oaxaca(wah-hah-kah) is a state in Mexico that is home to a rich culture, art scene, diverse natural landscape, and delicious cuisine.
The state capital, Oaxaca city, is a beautiful and fascinating place, and there are many interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area.
From hiking and horseback riding in the Sierra Norte to surfing and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, there is always something suits you well in Oaxaca. But first, start your day archaeologically!
1. Monte Albán Ruins
The ancient city of Monte Albán was once the second-largest ceremonial site in Mesoamerica. Today, it is an ruins, but it still boasts an impressive Gran Plaza, ancient ball court, excavated tombs, and astronomical 'observatory'. The site is also home to the mysterious danzantes, carved stone figures thought to depict dead or tortured prisoners of war.
2. Zona Arqueológica de Mitla
The ancient ruins of Mitla were once the second-most important Zapotec religious center. The site is home to a number of impressive buildings, including a cult center where high priests performed human sacrifices.
The ancient buildings at the site of Mitla were probably reserved for specific occupants, such as the high priest or the king. Today, visitors can see the Grupo de las Columnas (Group of the Columns) and the Grupo del Norte (North Group), both of which are located near the Iglesia de San Pablo.
3. Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca
No more archaeological sites visit! But still curious about the culture of Oaxaca? The Museum of Oaxacan Cultures is one of Mexico's best regional museums.
Located in the beautiful monastery buildings adjoining the Templo de Santo Domingo, the museum offers rich displays that take visitors through the history and cultures of Oaxaca state. The museum emphasizes the continuity between pre-Hispanic and contemporary cultures in areas such as crafts, medicine and food.
4. Templo de Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures.
The 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) is particularly beautiful, and the whole church takes on a magical atmosphere during candlelit evening Mass.
No rush, take a small break with artisan pastries and continue your journey.
5. Boulenc Pan Artesano
The best bakery in Oaxaca also has a trendy cafe next door, not that surprised but their most popular dish is avocado toast. The cafe has excellent coffee and cakes, and is located in a patio with terrace seating upstairs.
6. Zócalo
The Zócalo is the central square in Oaxaca city, and it is a great place to people-watch. The square is surrounded by portales (arcades) and is shaded by tall trees. The adjoining Alameda plaza is also a great place for people-watching, with its trinket-toting vendors, street performers and informal clothes market.
By day and night, the square is bustling with life, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload pretty carpets and hideous balloons, and lovers parade in slow rounds under the trees.
Give your legs a rest after wandering in the parade, don't just passed by this swanky tasting room.
7. Mezcaloteca
This is the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. The staff here can teach you about how mezcal is made, and you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product.
Call ahead to book a tasting session, and come prepared to ask questions.The hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else.
And it comes to the time for surfing and swimming in Pacific Ocean.
8. Punta Cometa
Punta Conejo is a rocky cape located at the west end of Mazunte beach. It is a great place to hike at sunset, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To get to the cape, take the lane toward Playa Mermejita off Calle Rinconcito, and go left up the track immediately after the cemetery.
You will reach the community nature reserve entrance after 250m. From there, you can take the path leading down to the right or the central path to get to the Punta.
9. Playa Zipolite
Zipolite's beach is a great place to relax and soak up the sun and it's famous for its nudity. People of all ages and genders can be found sunbathing, swimming, or walking around without clothes, which is the most iconic scene of the beach.
Exhausted from the sunbathing? You got a outstanding dining option here.
10. La Providencia
The restaurant combines exquisite flavors, artful presentation, and a relaxed ambience. You can sip a cocktail in the open-air lounge while you peruse the menu.
The contemporary Mexican cuisine is sure to please, with options like amaranth-encrusted aubergine, beef medallions with red-wine reduction, and coconut-crusted prawns with mango sauce. And pro tips... save room for their chocolate mousse!
No music? No music! But this Oaxaca!
11. Mar & Wana
Look no further than Mar & Wana if you're looking for a unique and fun night out! This sand-floor garden hosts live bands and DJs, and has an on-site food court with gourmet burgers, tacos, and Asian fare. Grab a mezcal or cocktail and check out the cool (somewhat hidden) hangout spots up on the rocks. You're sure to have a night to remember at Mar & Wana!
Last but not least...
12. Guelaguetza Show
The Guelaguetza is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as pre-Hispanic style textiles. The event takes place in the city of Oaxaca and nearby villages.
If you're interested in seeing this traditional Mexican dance, the best place to go is the Quinta Real hotel. The hotel hosts a highly colorful three-hour show on Monday evenings, featuring regional dances from across Mexico, as well as an impressive display of traditional Oaxacan costumes.
Oaxaca is a truly magical place that should not be missed yet an unforgettable destination for travelers from all over the world.

This 200m-high waterfall is said to be the highest waterfall in the country. It is a 3km hike down into the valley to see the falls (45 minutes down, 1 hour back up). The falls are most dramatic during the rainy season, but the serene rainforest setting is beautiful any time of year.
