Pour 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vegetable oil into a large skillet or wok and turn the heat to medium. Once the oil is hot and shimmers, stir in 1/2 cup (75 g) of chopped onion. Stir and cook the onion until it becomes soft and almost clear. You can leave the onion in large chunks or dice it finely according to your preferences. Add 3 tablespoons (24 g) of ground crayfish to the sauteed onions and stir until they're combined. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the crayfish is fragrant. If you can't find ground crayfish, you can leave it out but the rice won't be as colorful. Add 1 1/2 cups (230 g) of diced mixed vegetables into the skillet and stir in 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of Nigerian or Jamaican curry powder, and 1 to 3 stock cubes (such as Maggi or Knorr). You can use frozen mixed vegetables and add them to the skillet while they're still frozen. If you prefer, chop and dice your own mixed vegetables. Try carrots, corn, green beans, and peas. Stir and cook the vegetable mixture over medium heat until the vegetables are heated throughout. If you used frozen vegetables, this will take closer to 5 minutes. Avoid overcooking the vegetables or they'll lose their shape and their color will dull. If the vegetables stick to the skillet, pour in another 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of cooking oil.

Summary: Saute the onions for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in ground crayfish and cook the mixture for 1 minute. Stir in vegetables and seasonings. Fry the vegetables in the seasoning for 2 to 5 minutes.

Each of the basic notes you just learned has an associated major scale to go along with it. Major scales are created while holding down that key and running through a series of other keys in a specific succession. Find the most common scales in a beginner's alto saxophone book online, and practice each one until you are able to play through them with clear, pure sound. Begin with the G Major scale, which is usually considered to be the easiest. Major scales are the most common beginner scales and will allow you to play notes in succession. Minor scales are created by playing a succession of keys, just like the major scales. However, the minor scales sound much lower, and they are trickier to play. Find the key charts for minor scale progressions online or in a beginner's book. Practice minor scales until you feel comfortable and familiar with the progressions and are able to play each note with a consistent pitch. Minor scales are very common in alto saxophone songs, including many jazz tunes. Knowing minor scales will help you improvise if you are interested in playing in a group later on. Find sheet music at a local music store or online and practice your favorite songs. If you don't know how to read sheet music, look for fingering charts that will guide you. Once you are familiar with your favorite songs, you can write your own or begin improvising with a group of other performers. You can begin playing beginner songs, and then progress into playing your favorite songs.

Summary: Learn major scales to add advanced notes to your repertoire. Practice minor scales to learn more challenging progressions. Learn your favorite alto saxophone songs.

If you're staying in a hostel in order to save some money, then your first priority should be deciding how much money you can actually afford to put down for your hostel bed. Make sure you take the other costs of staying at a hostel into account as well, not just the price of the bed. For example, you may need to pay extra to use the WiFi, have extra bed linens, or even use a towel. Hostels that belong to the Hostelling International parent organization tend to adhere to more stringent rules that make their spaces better regulated as a result. Independent hostels, on the contrary, may have fewer rules or be less predictably clean. This makes independent hostels great if you want a quirky or more "adventurous" experience, but not as great if you want your hostel experience to be more predictable. Note that you can somewhat predict what an independent hostel will be like based on its clientele. If a hostel generally caters to young students in the city, for example, it will probably be a more raucous environment than a rural hostel primarily serving older people. Most hostels have both coed and sex-segregated sleeping rooms, although some independent hostels may be entirely coed or entirely segregated. Check to make sure the hostel provides the type of sleeping arrangements you want before booking your bed. Although hostels are typically geared towards college-age travelers, a lot of places open their doors to those younger and older than this age bracket. If you want to avoid staying with groups of very young or relatively old people, go with a hostel that limits its clientele to a particular age group. For example, some hostels have a policy that says no one under the age of 18 or over a certain age is allowed to stay there.

Summary: Determine your budget for lodging to guide your selection. Go with an official hostel if you want a clean and organized space. Opt for sex-segregated rooms if this is important to you. Choose a hostel with age limitations if you want to stay with your peers.
