Does this post come with instructions on where to get the special secret decoder ring? How many boxtops will it require?
.Foxtrot-Uniform-November-November-Yankee.
No special attention. I have seen others go down the middle of lines, and the Mexican agent guarding the gate tells them to wait on the side. There is a bench. They are let in with the ready lane group. I have a cane but just stand in the ready lane line. It is still less time than the old Pedeast days.Thanks for the update G. It's been a year since my last visit. I use a cane as well and will have to do the same I guess.

Anyone looking to share rides from Santa Ana on Tuesday, Fridays or Saturday nights, should PM me. If you go in my SENTRI car, Oh boy Santa Ana in OC What a great time I had there back in the early 1990's driving that Harbor Blvd track all the way down to Costa Mesa by the 405 the girls back then were the best and cheap too.
Try Cozy corner in Harbor and Westminister? I had The best bigger burgers and burritos back in the 1990's the place still there since the 1980's and if you love vietnamee and chinesse food there are few great restaurants at first st and Newhope.
I remember back in the 1980's when Santa Ana was the second Tijuana mostly Mexicans. I used to live in Anaheim by Magnolia and Lincoln blvd this area was real nice back in those days.

All these years the hos along this track have been older, lumpy, filthy, skanky, diseased drug addicts. Don't know how you found any decent ones. The pimps used to drive them from other states and dump them by the dozens to work the street. But Recently they have been busted hard under the [CodeWord908] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908) initiatives. Both Harbor and Beach tracks have dried up.
But if you still enjoy the hunt, a few are still hanging out the side streets off harbor, selling tricks, discarding loaded condoms on sidewalks and lawns, getting residents pissing mad. So SAPD have street and Backpage stings regularly, usually on Friday night or on long holiday weekends.
The legal consequences are big headache so I would stay off LA and OC completely. The cruise down Tijuana is long, boring and a pain in the ass, but the chicas are better-looking, nicer, sexier and you can relax, so it's a little more satisfying than poking a chunk of meat while shaking for fear of LE's busts.

Hey remember that strip club on the corner of Harbor & Mcfadden?Who cares if they get pissed if they do is because they're too young to know anyway.
Yes I do remember I've seen that strip club but I was to bussy looking for Harbor girls. Back then you didn't have to worry about LEO no body cares and back then I didn't care to go Tijuana because the action in Harbor was the best ever and the girls were so nice. Not like the crackheads you see today.
There is still quite a few SW's by Harbor and Hazard. The downside is that the girls do not come out till 11 pm or midnight. The other problem is that the girls insist on working about 3 or 4 block area. So this really stand out if LE is around. These days I stick to Tijuana and cruise LA / OC when I am up there.

This was my first trip and indeed it was a success. First off, I must apologize to Baxter because I never made it to where you were for the UFC fight. I suppose I found the wrong doorman because he did not know who you were, but did mention someone else came asking where you were as well haha.
I got there pretty late, around 7 or 8 and made my rounds through the bars and the alley just looking at all the different Chicas since it was my first time. By the time I knew it it was time for the Diaz Mcgregor showdown. I bought a beer at adelitas and two Chicas tried enticing me into a threesome for 100 $. One was actually pretty, but the other unfortunately had messed up teeth. I'm not a dick, but if I'm paying I want the best I can get. I respectfully declined and told them I'd look for them later (they probably knew that was a lie). I sat down across the failing from the chica changing room watching the fight on the projector screens and was left alone by Chicas the whole time (the way I wanted it, they could wait until after). The fight ended and I began my hunt for a chica to let loose with.
I found quite a few beautiful Chicas in adelitas (one tall thick in all the right places Mexican, a skinnier with quite a bit of makeup but beautiful bone structure and glasses, and a few other girls). Most of them quote almost 100 $ or 1200 pesos, even with the peso discount I declined because I didn't want a starfish experience for my first nut in Tijuana. I figured I'd go with a SG since a bust is a bust and if she's pretty to me that's all that matters. Found a beauty right next to back side (alley) Cascadas entrance. Won't give her name out but starts with a P. Oh my she may be the one I go do every time for my first bust of the day. Spinner, and very friendly. At first I tried haggling her to 250 pesos and she refused, turned her back and chatted with her friends. I came back when she was alone and sweet talked her and told her she would enjoy the session, to which she eventually agreed 250 pesos. She wasn't insulted by my low balling as she was still very friendly. I think it's because we were both the same age (twenty). I told her I would give her a tip and make it 350 if she used her mouth too (but only told her to do it if it would be good, to which she responded she does it very well). Had our session, chitchatted after and gave her money. Told her I'd be seeing her again. This ones a keeper. All the initial negotiations were to get her vibe on me, as to me it doesn't matter if she's beautiful if she's not into the session. There was an taller Asian girl to the slight west of her with very thin or no eyebrows who I tried to talk to on the alley. She wouldn't even look at me LOL. Seemed like would be rude and a starfish in bed. P was not like that, very sweet and friendly. I drank some beer and hung around Adelitas and HK then headed to ped east around 12, took no more than 15 minutes. Walked to my free parking by baja duty free and was on my back to LA. Hope to return within the month, might bring a friend down to enjoy the debauchery with me.

Good first trip report. Looks like you hit a success, getting good sex with a pretty girl without getting your face ripped off in your first trip must be considered a success.
The 2 girls in Adelita, suggesting threesome, are probably Karla in her peach gogo skirt and her aggressive friend in a back dress. Karla's pics were posted in the General thread. The pics taken from a low angle showed her long, strong legs and a slinky but healthy body. Well, in real life both look below average in Adelita. Adelita recently has many good-looking young girls. They would sidle up near you but will leave you alone until you engage them. Adelita's meseros act the same way, unlike their counterparts in HK who constantly hit you up, selling wither sex or beer.
Street girl P outside Cascada must be the tiny Paola, 5'90 lbs, with long straight black hair, looking a bit like Catherine Zeta Jones, but smaller, tight hard body, conical be cup. She's always hissing through her teeth, caressing my arms and my back, asking me to slow down and be more gentle so she can enjoy sex more and longer. Paola is basically a nymph who never has enough sex. She's 18-20, picked up a lot of English quickly, very gentle, loving, responsive and communicative in bed. You just found for yourself one of the best sex partners in North America. Hehe.
Paola was working through last Christmas holidays, telling me she wish she had a Gringo BF so she could stop working and stay home for the holidays.
One of my all-time-favorite anywhere in the world was the pretty Kenya, who hanged out at the same spot. I just loved her pretty Spanish face and her sexy body. She also spoke decent English and acted extremely sexy, erotic in bed. Too bad she moved away.
Have fun. Keep checking and reporting your finds.

Thanks D Rango for providing a great detailed trip report. There are few on here who get a little cranky if someone knew comes on here and only asks questions. But by providing a trip report its a real benefit for everyone. Just curious as it was your first trip any problems getting around, crossing the border or dealing with the ratero police.
Sorry we missed you, one thing I have realized its hard to plan things in Tijuana, usually the best plan when heading down is no plan. First bar we were going to watch the fight at wouldn't change the tv's from soccer. (jajaja a very common problem if you like to watch sports in Tijuana). We did go elswhere where they were more accomadating, they turned on the big screen and provided cheap beer. But you didn't miss anything as far as chica's. Ohh yea we all put in bets at Caliente on Diaz so no celebration with money flowing out of our pockets after the fight.
Paola and Alondra actually have similar sweet personalities upstairs. Alondrs just appear a little snooty downstairs. One thing I often look for to indicate personalities is if a chica has a friend. If she is a lone wolf, it is a sign that she is a pain in the neck. If she has a friend, she is more likely to be sociable upstairs. It's an imperfect indicator. But for a new guy, this should help.

Indeed it is hard, but I suppose spontaneity makes the time in Tijuana that much more exciting. Surprisingly I encountered no problems of any sort really. The taxi libre guy seemed cool as we were talking in Spanish the way to HK but told me it was $8 after we had agreed upon 5. Suppose he thought he could pull a quick one but told him all I had was $5 and the rest was in pesos for the Chicas. On the way back to ped east it was much more smooth, the taxi libre stopped at the exchange for me at the corner, took me to a shop to get a single cigarette and was very helpful while agreeing to $5. I saw the police circling here and there around the Zona but I received no personal attention from them. Border crossing was also smooth, 12-15 minutes only one regular lane and one sentri.
To address captain solo's response: you are indeed a wise man. Karla was one of the girls names, the other I think Arielle / Arial but don't quote me. It was a little too obvious they wanted to capitalize on my first time being to a land filled with beautiful Punani everywhere, and it didn't take a man with eagle eyes to see all the beautiful girls Adelitas had that Saturday night, glad the quality is reaching top tier because Hong Kong was packed. Couldn't even find a place to sit, plus with all the presumed business I couldn't even sit with a chica to ask her name before a mesero came trying to sell me a ficha. Maybe if I had more money, but for that trip I was on a no drink policy for buying them for girls. I don't even know how much they cost, if someone could let me know that'd be cool. I did want to go Arriba with an HK beauty but didn't want to make all the effort when sweet Paula was outside just waiting. I'll see if next trip I can find at least three minutes to talk to a chica, get to know her name, feel her out and decide if I want to go upstairs. Being around plenty of women, especially with these new pickings in Tijuana, it's fairly easy to tell when a woman would actually be up to sleeping with you vs. Dreading it or being over it but in it just for the money. Nonetheless, I need to go back. Planning a Thursday visit or something so male to female ratio won't be so messed up, rooms won't be priced above average, and I can maybe talk a SG or HK / Adelitas girl into an hour or two.

My wingman had to pay $25 Saturday night for about 3 hours parking at the lot next to the train track, Just South of the J I be. Damn. They really rip the people off. But he had no time left to shop around for lower prices.
I keep telling the bros to drive over, save yourself lots of money, time and energy walking and sweating in the cabs. Crossing into Mexico only takes 15 minutes max, even on busy weekends. Cross back to the US late after midnight would take about 30 minutes to 1 hour in the Ready lane. With a SENTRI or Global entry card it usually takes only 15 minutes.
I bought Mexican liability for about $100 a year. Mexican drivers are slow and pretty laid back. Have not seen a single aggressive driver in Tijuana, Baja California or other states. Just go slow, obey all stupid traffic signs, avoid the big pot holes that can break your tires or bend your axles, use high beam to avoid pedestrians who wear dark clothes and cross dark streets at night. One night a car hit a pedestrian on Negrete, right in front of the hotel with bright fluorescent lights.
Take busy streets so policias can't fuck with you and squeeze you for mordidas. Even if they do, they won't shoot you, just hassling. Just give them a $20 and consider that part of the costs to monger in Tijuana.
I feel much safer, healthier and quicker, driving my car than walking around Tijuana at night risking getting robbed, beat up or knifed by gangs.

I got quoted $60 on a Saturday so not too bad. $100 for two, and a couple of girls $80 or 1000 pesos. I'll never pay more than 60 at AB. Some felt they had the power because of how ridiculously busy it was in there.

Can you describe her and point to where she hangs out?If I remember correctly, Alondra is right between Chevelas and HK. She looks Philippine. Is a tall spinner with her platform shoes. Often wearing hot shorts. If Paola had an older sister, it would be Alondra. She and her neighbor Wendy does not get along, often competing for the same customer. Interesting dynamic as the work next to each other. I was tempted to have a threesome with them, after watching them go at it in a cat fight in bed except that the fight would be real.

Jackie, you have correctly identified her regular spot, but sometimes Alondra instead will stand in Cascades' lobby.

Before I begin I would like to express my gratitude to all of the contributors to this forum. You have provide a wealth of detailed information that gives a greenhorn like myself the confidence to go and experience the wonderful pleasures of Tijuana.
I will be making my inaugural solo trip to Tijuana on the 8th of September and I will be leaving on the 11th. Even though I have scoured the forums for all of the necessary information to have a successful trip, I still have some questions that I hope the users of this forum will be kind enough to answer.
I started off my adventure by booking a room at Cascadas from the 8th to the 11th. I felt that this would be the safest bet for a first timer and it would keep me at the center of the action. Though I am considering only staying there on Thursday and Friday night and heading back to San Diego on Saturday to partake in more mainstream tourist activities. I would like to think that I could monger for three days straight but I got to be more realistic and assume that I will get tired after two days. If this happened to be the case, could I just leave after the second day without any consequence from the hotel by not staying all three nights? I'm sure they would fill the vacancy rather quickly.
Anyway, I will be flying in and I plan on taking the trolley from the airport, down to the border where I will catch a cab to HK (Hopefully I can avoid the troublesome cabbies I've been reading about). I plan on arriving at the hotel by 2:30 pm. I will be bringing a small carry on bag and I hope that it will be safe to travel with luggage. Once I'm settled in I plan on doing a little exploring, venturing from bar to bar and checking out the local street talent. My Spanish is as good as you would expect American public schools to teach, which is obviously poor. I have learned some from phrases which will be helpful though.
I'm not quite sure how I want to get into the all the action. I would definitely like to experience a little bit of everything. My preference leans towards small thin spinners that have a pretty face or fit girls. I would like to get the best value for my dollar or peso but money is not a big problem as long as they are gorgeous ha-ha. Also I hope to employ the many money saving tips I learned on this forum.
I know I am a newbie here in the forum but I would greatly appreciate any tips and recommendations about anything and everything from girls to where to eat (I am not to found of Mexican food and I hope there are plenty of other good dining options available).
I can't say that I will be frequenting Tijuana and that I will be an active poster in this forum but I can assure you that I will be posting about my experiences in detail after my trip to show my appreciation to the forum. Also, I probably wouldn't be to upset if I happened to bump into some of the awesome posters in this forum during my trip.

The card will likely save you more than its cost since you plan to be in Tijuana for two days or more.
You can pay for your Cascades room one night at a time, despite having a three or four day reservation there.
The chicas (and most other things) will probably cost less if you pay in pesos.
Near LZ, you are more likely to find restaurants serving non-Mexican food on Revolution Ave.
You cannot pick up the trolly from the airport, instead you will need to take a bus or cab from the airport to the trolly station.

No credit cards. They do have an ATM.

In a couple months I hope to spend a week in Tijuana, but I must have decent WiFi.
I haven't tried Ticuan WiFi in over a year, at that time it was crap. Has it gotten any better recently?
Can anyone recommend another Tijuana hotel of comperable cost and quality that has good Wifi? Something within a reasonable walk of Zona Norte?

The signal is very strong in the lobby / bar / restaurant areas. Not as strong in the rooms, but I still didn't have any trouble when I stayed there.

Can anyone recommend another Tijuana hotel of comparable cost and quality that has good Wifi? If you travel to different countries and do not need to buy sim cards for portable wifi, then this is the high end portable wifi you can without buying a sim card. The costs are a little higher for using it but no hassle for running around to get a sim card. You can get a local sim card too and use it if you are going to be in a place for a long time.
Pocket WiFi: the GlocalMe G2. You can buy it from Amazon.
It has a "virtual SIM" that can connect to virtually any network on the planet without having to purchase a local SIM card. The rates are a bit higher than you would get from a local SIM, but saves you so much hassle on short trips. However, it also has two SIM card slots for adding local SIMs if you are going to be in one spot for a while. Best of all worlds in my opinion. Tested the virtual SIM capabilities in PI, Singapore, Thailand, and Canada with no problems. Only place I had issues was in the USA. Also running it off a SmartBro SIM in PI now. Great 4 G connections.
Anyway, I will be flying in and I plan on taking the trolley from the airportAs mentioned, you start out with the bus. Here are the sites I use to plan the commute:
The #992 bus: https://www.sdmts.com/sites/all/themes/mts/templates/sdg/pdf/992.pdf.
It is a continuous loop in one direction so you cannot get on the "wrong" 992 bus. You get off at spot "Dee" (damn this auto-correct stuff!) on the schedule: Broadway and Kettner.
From there you take the trolley Blue Line toward San Ysidro (again, cannot go wrong as you will be at the northern terminus of the line):

From there you take the trolley Blue Line toward San Ysidro (again, cannot go wrong as you will be at the northern terminus of the line):

I thought another poster on a different site did a great review on the club. Whereas, I am only comparing the two clubs last night.
Last night, Wednesday, I was in HK, LC BT, BG, and CC off and on until 8:20. Then I took a taxi libre to thej Vu for 50 pesos and got there around 8:30.
The following are my thoughts and comparisons between the two clubs:
Location:
Hong Kong: You either need to take a decent walk, or pay for transportation to get to HK.
DejaVu: From PedEast, the club is a short walk away.
Location winner: DejaVu.
Cover charge:
Hong Kong: None.
DejaVu: Before 8, none. After 8, the cover is either 5 US dollars, or 100 pesos (a shot of shitty tequila is included). I did remind the reception chicas that 5 US and 100 pesos are not equal; they just giggled.
Cover charge winner: Hong Kong.
Exchange rate: This is important if you usually roll with pesos.
Hong Kong: 16 to 1.
DejaVu: 18 to 1.
Exchange rate winner: Hong Kong.
Mesero non hassles:
Hong Kong: Most of us know, if you do not control the meseros in HK, they will control you.
DejaVu: I had one mesero, and he left me alone until I needed him.
Mesero non hassles winner: DejaVu.
My drink:
Hong Kong: Screwdriver with house vodka $4. 00 (shot and juice in separate glasses).
DejaVu: Screwdriver with house vodka $4. 00 (already mixed).
My drink winner: Tied.
Ficha:
Hong Kong: $9. 00 or 144 pesos.
DejaVu: $10.00 or 180 pesos.
Ficha winner: Hong Kong.
Grouping for a buck:
Hong Kong: Many options were available.
DejaVu: I had a pocket full of ones, but did not see the opportunity to use one.
Grouping for a buck winner: Hong Kong.
Short time rooms:
Hong Kong: $17.00 for 30 minutes.
DejaVu: $25.00 for 30 minutes.
Short time room winner: Hong Kong.
Sex pricing:
Hong Kong: Varies from 60 to 100 bucks (pay in pesos!
DejaVu: I chatted with 3 chicas, one wanted 80, the other 2 wanted 100.
Sex pricing winner: Have to give Hong Kong the edge. Because if you do not like the prices, go can retreat to the alley for bargain basement prices.
Number of chicas:
Hong Kong: When I left HK at 8:20, there was a butt-load of chicas in the club.
DejaVu: When I arrived at 8:30 in thej Vu, I saw around 8 or 9, but was told more would arrive later.
Number of chicas winner: Hong Kong.
Quality of chicas:
Hong Kong: The club had a good share of hotties between 4 and 8:15.
DejaVu: Above average, with a couple of hotties.
Quality of chicas winner: Hong Kong.
Club layout:
Hong Kong: HK has 4 floors, plus the Miami club. Thus, you can see a lot of action happening all at once because of the several stages and platforms.
DejaVu: The club is huge and has two floors, with one main stage on the first floor. If you like a larger club, then you might prefer thej Vu.
Club layout winner: Hong Kong (IMHO).
Remember, this information was based solely on a Wednesday evening, and an early Wednesday evening to boot.
The mesero gave me a nice tour of the club. He showed me the VIP areas on the second floor and the VIP booths as well. The booth with the jacuzzi looked nice. But, you have to buy a bucket of ten fichas, plus a bottle of alcohol of your choice; I didn't ask about the time limit.
I think many will go to DejaVu for different reasons:
First, it is close to the border and easy to access.
Second, many of the guests that stay at Pueblo Amigo with go there (again, location, location, and location).
Third, many are squeamish about going to La Coahuila because of the rateros and the monkey police.
And lastly, many people just have more money to burn than others.
Just my two lousy pesos.
Damn auto correct! :(
Thank you Oosik for sending this information (including links to the complete bus schedule for any simpleton like me to see for themselves when they simply click on the links you provided).Don'tworry about the times. The buses show up about every 15 minutes and the same with the trolley. Just know that the max wait time is usually about 15 minutes. You need to get the "card" which probably cost a buck or two and pay the $5 one day pass fare. I come from Texas and have been using this mode of transportation many times. From the time you get off the plane until you hit the boarder will be about 1:15. Getting into Mexico now takes longer than getting out (even with a Sentri card). Have fun and don't rush into anything.
If you travel to different countries and do not need to buy sim cards for portable wifi, then this is the high end portable wifi you can without buying a sim card. The costs are a little higher for using it but no hassle for running around to get a sim card. You can get a local sim card too and use it if you are going to be in a place for a long time.
Pocket WiFi: the GlocalMe G2. You can buy it from Amazon.
It has a "virtual SIM" that can connect to virtually any network on the planet without having to purchase a local SIM card. The rates are a bit higher than you would get from a local SIM, but saves you so much hassle on short trips. However, it also has two SIM card slots for adding local SIMs if you are going to be in one spot for a while. Best of all worlds in my opinion. Tested the virtual SIM capabilities in PI, Singapore, Thailand, and Canada with no problems. Only place I had issues was in the USA. Also running it off a SmartBro SIM in PI now. Great 4 G connections.
Google has been rolling out a new cell phone service plan using its latest technology for almost 2 years now (more info here https://fi.google.com/about/plan/ ).
With this new technology your phone will try to connect to available free/public Wifi first before getting on the cell phone network. Per Google your calls/texts are encrypted so that they are secured in public Wifi environment. In the US this service currently uses ALL 3 networks from T-Mobil, Sprint, and US West Cellular (and more in the future) so the coverage is quite good.
Unlimited calls and texts are $20/month + $10/GB of data per month. HOWEVER, you ONLY pays for the data you actually use NOT the flat rate $10/GB. If you use your phone exclusively with home/work/public Wifi then you end up paying only $20 + tax per month.
Another major cool thing about this plan is that you can bring your same phone almost anywhere in the world WITHOUT signing up for new local services. The same $10/GB of data still applies as in the US using the participating local cell phone services. This service is available around the world. Your same phone practically works as is without new SIM card or anything, AND no long-term contract required ever. I have been using this phone with free Wifi in TJ and found that it was quite good and costed me nothing.

Plus you don't have to worry about keeping a card you will probably barely use. Time is 45 min to 1.5 hours from SAN to San Ysidro Border.

Hey guys,
Are there any recommended ATMs near the boarder or HK to withdraw Pesos? I heard the rate is best at the ATM and not the money changers in San Ysidro.

Scotia ATM, next to Adelita, seems to offer very high exchange rate to pesos. It charges only 9.5 pesos terminal fee. Bank of America charges no international fees, at least for business accounts or accounts with balance exceeding certain thresholds. That's for debit cards. The banks or ATM operators usually charge $10 fee for withdrawals from credit cards.
I was getting 18.7 peso to the dollar from debit cards at the Scotia ATM, after all fees.

This is the exchange I go to on the US side. Name: " Baja-Mex". It is located off of the last USA exit. Turn right and you can see it on the left hand side. They have drive through and lobby service. HK has an ATM in the lobby entrance. Other members can give you there opinions.

I use Google Fi and highly recommend it. However, I think one should point out its biggest current limitation: it is only available for 3 Google phones: the Nexus 6, 5 X, and 6 P.

I have been using the Scotia machine next to Adelita, also various ATM's in OXXO and other convenient stores, for 15 years without any problems. Just cover the keypad to make sure criminal will not film your PIN. But I have never had a problem with ATMs ever.
OTOH most money exchange stores in tourist and border areas are likely doing money laundering regularly for criminals. They just take drug dollars in exchange for pesos with 10% commission and claim the large amount of dollars came from tourists and mongers. No IDs are ever asked for money exchanges in Mexico. You should watch the FBI's documentaries on money laundering in Mexico. There are guys who take in $200 K drugs money from the cartels every day, dividing them out to 20 piles and go to 20 cambios, exchanging them to pesos for the bosses.
I've not use them since I prefer USA ones. But near HK, there is: one inside Las Chevelas next to HK, one at Adelitas, and one new one in the alley next to Valentina. Personally I stay away from all ATM on the Mexican side for security reasons.

Personally I stay away from all ATM on the Mexican side for security reasons.In the past I had the same security concerns, but now I use the ATMs found inside of Soriana grocery or Calimax grocery. While a security threat can happen anywhere, I'm feel more comfortable using the ATMs in grocery stores, where I can walk the store's area around the ATM and scope out the place as I appear to be shopping.
ATMs with debit a card is usually a lower cost way to obtain pesos when compared to exchanging dollars at cambios on either side of the border. Seems as if your choice of debit cards (and the banks that issue them) may be as important as the specific ATM machine that you use.
There probably are ATMs on the US side of the border that dispense pesos, but I don't know of any.
Hey guys,
Are there any recommended ATMs near the boarder or HK to withdraw Pesos? I heard the rate is best at the ATM and not the money changers in San Ysidro.I use ATMs from time to time, but always at a bank, never in a club or restaurant unless it's an emergency. There are lots of banks along the cross streets of Revolucion. I think Banamex and Banorte have the lowest fees, Scotiabank is about the highest. In any case, the banks will charge from $3 to $5 to withdraw money from an international account, and your bank may charge a similar amount. So, that will eat up any savings you might get with the slightly better rate you'll get at an ATM. Unless you have a Schwab, or similar, account, it's probably best to bring cash and exchange in San Ysidro.

I always get a great exchange rate and never had a problem.
First off, I am going to be in Tijuana on 9/7 thru 9/9 and would be happy to meet with you if you would find that helpful. I only make the trip there about 4 or 5 times a year and will be coming with 1 or 2 friends who both speak perfect Spanish. Having a friend around always helps - almost certainly helps to be real honest. Just send me a private message if you would like to meet.
Anyhow, here are a series of suggestions that I would recommend if "I" was visiting there for the first time:
1. If you are staying at Cascadas, don't rely on the website for "comfort". 90% of the time I stay there it is a hassle to get anything to work. (A / see, Safe Key, TV etc.). You will need to leave a $10 and occasionally a $20 deposit for each of these items in advance and return them upon checkout. Keep your "safe" key in a safe place of course.
2. Bring your own pillow if you can. The pillows at Cascadas are absolutely horrendous. Bring your own pillow! Also, consider staying one night at Hotel Ticuan if you get the chance. It is a $4 cab ride to the 'Zona and you are sure to get a nicer room, better service and a much improved night's rest if you stay there.
3. Street girls can be every bit as good looking as the girls in the bars and clubs. It's really that simple. When negotiating with the girls, I always start with a compliment. Also, have an idea if this is a girl you want to bring back to your room, or if you just want to go to her hotel. Don't take it personally if she won't go to your hotel. The fact is, the girl probably does not have I.D. which Cascadas will require if she comes back with you. Also, some of the girls need time to get to know you before they go to your room. Still, the girls outside of Cascadas as well as Hong Kong girls will almost surely go to your room at Cascadas. Then, negotiate in both dollars and pesos and you will probably find that there is better value with one of the two. On a final note (regarding girls and prices), I like to use the $40 / $80 rule. Pay no more than $40 for a street girl and nothing more than $80 for a bar-girl.
4. In my recent experiences, I have found that two (2) bars have the best looking girls. HK (Hong Kong) which can be a bit pricey, and "Adelitas" which I also definitely recommend you visit. The Tropical Club (behind Cascadas hotel and on the corner), La Gloria Bar and Las Chavelas (next-door to Cascadas) are also worth a visit, but the girls are (in general) sub-par in comparison with HK and Adelitas. Be careful in the bars of girls that will drink the lady-drinks ("fichas") which will cost you about $6 for their company. If you like the girl (and you are somewhat budget conscious), limit things to 2 or 3 drinks for her and then make a decision to take her with you or to part-ways.....for the time being. Some girls will drink those $6 quickly and the bill can add-up fast. Before you know it, you are out $60 in fichas and another $80 for the girl.
5. For food other than Mexican food, I would recommend two places that are nearby and that I have enjoyed: "Caesar's" (Caesar salads and more) on Avenida Revolucion & "Guisseppe's" (Italian food) on the same street.
6. If you get the chance, try to make a trip out to the Caliente Casino and Dog Track about 10 to 15 minutes away. There is decent dining there, and it can be a fun way to spend an evening with a large casino, a lounge, a dog-track, live soccer matches and more.
7. Do not walk around at night alone if you can help it (away from Coahilla). Try to make friends if you can and try to remain close to your hotel.
8. Be sure that you bring your passport......and keep it with you.
9. Try to bring some $1 and $5 bills with you (perhaps $40 in 1's and $100 in 5's). Some people like the "Baja-Mex" spot, but there is probably a better location for your trip. When purchasing pesos, I always buy them in the Camino De La Plaza right next to the border entrance where your trolley should let off. When you see the McDonald's next to the train tracks, the "Cambio" place where I usually buy pesos is to the left nextdoor from your POV. I would recommend purchasing somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 to $400 in pesos if you are there for 2 days or so. Still, this all depends on bankroll, but $150 to $200 a day in pesos seems to work fairly well for myself.
10. When leaving Tijuana (and I am guessing others have already mentioned this.), try to leave between 11 pm and 3 am at the very latest. Thus, I usually aim to get into a taxi around 2am-2:15am. The "Ligna" begins to get long anytime after 3 am and believe me....you DO NOT want to be in that line after that time.
Hope some of this helps -
Before I begin I would like to express my gratitude to all of the contributors to this forum. You have provide a wealth of detailed information that gives a greenhorn like myself the confidence to go and experience the wonderful pleasures of Tijuana.
I will be making my inaugural solo trip to Tijuana on the 8th of September and I will be leaving on the 11th. Even though I have scoured the forums for all of the necessary information to have a successful trip, I still have some questions that I hope the users of this forum will be kind enough to answer.
I started off my adventure by booking a room at Cascadas from the 8th to the 11th. I felt that this would be the safest bet for a first timer and it would keep me at the center of the action. Though I am considering only staying there on Thursday and Friday night and heading back to San Diego on Saturday to partake in more mainstream tourist activities. I would like to think that I could monger for three days straight but I got to be more realistic and assume that I will get tired after two days. If this happened to be the case, could I just leave after the second day without any consequence from the hotel by not staying all three nights? I'm sure they would fill the vacancy rather quickly.
Anyway, I will be flying in and I plan on taking the trolley from the airport, down to the border where I will catch a cab to HK (Hopefully I can avoid the troublesome cabbies I've been reading about). I plan on arriving at the hotel by 2:30 pm. I will be bringing a small carry on bag and I hope that it will be safe to travel with luggage. Once I'm settled in I plan on doing a little exploring, venturing from bar to bar and checking out the local street talent. My Spanish is as good as you would expect American public schools to teach, which is obviously poor. I have learned some from phrases which will be helpful though.
I'm not quite sure how I want to get into the all the action. I would definitely like to experience a little bit of everything. My preference leans towards small thin spinners that have a pretty face or fit girls. I would like to get the best value for my dollar or peso but money is not a big problem as long as they are gorgeous ha-ha. Also I hope to employ the many money saving tips I learned on this forum.
I know I am a newbie here in the forum but I would greatly appreciate any tips and recommendations about anything and everything from girls to where to eat (I am not to found of Mexican food and I hope there are plenty of other good dining options available).
I can't say that I will be frequenting Tijuana and that I will be an active poster in this forum but I can assure you that I will be posting about my experiences in detail after my trip to show my appreciation to the forum. Also, I probably wouldn't be to upset if I happened to bump into some of the awesome posters in this forum during my trip.
The Wi-Fi at Cascadas is horrible everytime I stay there.
The Wi-Fi at Hotel Ticuan (5 minutes or so from the 'Zona as you probably know) is excellent.
In a couple months I hope to spend a week in Tijuana, but I must have decent WiFi.
I haven't tried Ticuan WiFi in over a year, at that time it was crap. Has it gotten any better recently?
Can anyone recommend another Tijuana hotel of comperable cost and quality that has good Wifi? Something within a reasonable walk of Zona Norte?

I use the ATM at the HK reception for pesos. The ATM at the HK alley disperses US dollars.
The two ATMs in the HK hotel disperses pesos as well.
I always get a great exchange rate and never had a problem.I'm here now and posting from my phone (not ideal). Just wanted to note that the max you can withdraw from the Cascadas ATM in one shot is 3000 now. Pretty certain it was 5,000 a few months ago. If you have to pay ATM fees (109 pesos a clip), no bueno.
Also, I think the Wifi at Cascadas is remarkably better than my first trip. Have had zero problems since I arrived. Maybe room location is the biggest variable now.
Lastly, total deposit for AC remote, TV remote, and safe key is $40 bumped up $10 from my first trip.
Will post more thoughts and experiences in Tijuana when I return. Tough to do on a cell.

This guy practices Anesthesiology in El Cajon which is about 10 miles North of the Mexico border, where commercial sex is tolerated, with lots of pretty, sexy young girls every day of the week 24/7. He should have gone to La Zona for sex, instead of playing power games, exchanging prescriptions for sex, addicting young girls on opioids to take advantage of them sexually. Now he's facing 20 years in prison, $1 M fine, loss of his medical license, his family and the love and respect of his presumably grown children.
I came to the conclusion that mongers in La Zona are some of the smartest guys in the world, sincerely, no sarcasm intended.

The signal is very strong in the lobby / bar / restaurant areas. Not as strong in the rooms, but I still didn't have any trouble when I stayed there.Thanks gents. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I absolutely need to have access to good WiFi or I can't make the trip. At least this trip I'm not working on export controlled information, which forced me to do all work in USA which made me return to USA every single day.
I like the quality and value at Ticuan. Now, if I can just figure out how to control that darn A/C.

I like the quality and value at Ticuan. Now, if I can just figure out how to control that darn A/C.How much would a room at Ticuan cost for a night? Pesos or dollars. Anyone know other hotels, maybe for a value (but not any cheap hotel) that I could stay at? I'd like to be close to Norte but at that point I'd rather stay at HK, and am not trying to spend that much since I'll be going on Saturday. I plan on going with my buddy to show him around this weekend so we'd probably get a double wherever we stay. Centro is cool, any hotels close to good microbreweries or clubs? (maybe I could get some civie action going before / after we visit la zona.) Will follow up with a report so if anyone wants particular info / wants me to check something it let me know before I go!

Then, negotiate in both dollars and pesos and you will probably find that there is better value with one of the two. On a final note (regarding girls and prices), I like to use the $40 / $80 rule. Pay no more than $40 for a street girl... Never use dollars with street girls, always negotiate & pay with pesos. Many street girls will go to the room for 200 pesos. The best lookers might want 300 pesos, or even 400 pesos when you want a blow job with your sex session. Never pay a street girl $40 (except for extended sessions, like an hour to 90 minutes) since at today's exchange rate $40 US is worth over 700 pesos. Most street girl sessions are only 15 to 20 minutes in length.
4). In my recent experiences, I have found that two (2) bars have the best looking girls. HK (Hong Kong) which can be a bit pricey, and "Adelitas" which I also definitely recommend you visit. The Tropical Club (behind Cascadas hotel and on the corner), La Gloria Bar and Las Chavelas (next-door to Cascadas) are also worth a visit, but the girls are (in general) sub-par in comparison with HK and Adelitas...If you stand at the north (main) entrance to Hong Kong Bar, Bar Tropical is across the street (Coahuila Ave.). Bar Tropical is not behind any business, but instead it is located on the Northeast corner of the intersection of Coahuila Ave, and Nino Heroes.
If you leave HK's north entrance and walk east on that sidewalk, the next business entrance is the stairway leading upstairs to Cascades' (smaller) north entrance. The next business to the east is Las Chavelas Bar. The next building to the east is a medium sized church. The next business to the east is Monte Carlo restaurant, then the entrance to Hotel Coahuila (above Adelitas). The next business to the east after that is Adelitas Bar. The next business to the east is Hotel Garcia and the last business to the east on that one block (on the corner of Coahuila Ave. & Constitution) is La Gloria Bar.
Yeah, the whole "Go Green" approach at Ticuan is a little ridiculous. I really don't like the key thing when you enter the room every time. The same goes for controlling the A / see, but once you get it working, it is just fine. As for the Wi-Fi, yes. I have been very pleased with it upon my last 2 to 3 visits.
Thanks gents. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I absolutely need to have access to good WiFi or I can't make the trip. At least this trip I'm not working on export controlled information, which forced me to do all work in USA which made me return to USA every single day.
I like the quality and value at Ticuan. Now, if I can just figure out how to control that darn A/C..
I have always enjoyed staying at Ticuan. The only draw-back is that it is really a fairly long walk to the Zona, but only a 4 to 5 minute cab ride at most. The food is good there, the service is also quite decent and it is generally pretty quiet. The Wi-Fi access is also a real plus as well as the room itself in terms of amenities and size. Hotel Ticuan is right next door to Las Pulgas (dance club) which gets going pretty good on Thurs-Sun in the late evening and there is a Caliente Casino and Sports book across the street. As for room prices, the "Habitatcion Sencilla" (Basic room) is around $60-$70 during the week and about $90 to $100 on the weekend. I usually like to stay there my last night in Tijuana so that I can get decent sleep and quiet. I then take a taxi to the Zona late in the evening to have some fun, then taxi back 3 or 4 hours later to Ticuan and head to the ligna right after around 2 am. Hope this helps a bit.
How much would a room at Ticuan cost for a night? Pesos or dollars. Anyone know other hotels, maybe for a value (but not any cheap hotel) that I could stay at? I'd like to be close to Norte but at that point I'd rather stay at HK, and am not trying to spend that much since I'll be going on Saturday. I plan on going with my buddy to show him around this weekend so we'd probably get a double wherever we stay. Centro is cool, any hotels close to good microbreweries or clubs? (maybe I could get some civie action going before / after we visit la zona.) Will follow up with a report so if anyone wants particular info / wants me to check something it let me know before I go!.

If I might piggy-back on your description a bit, it's my 'go to' hotel when I need to decompress from the 24/7 action in La Zona, and a perfect counter balance to a couple of nights at Cascadas. It's also a great place to meet up with the escorts of your choice. Ammusingly, the front desk ocassionally sports a young, decent looking chica from time to time, but they will treat you with a professional disdain that only Latinas seem to be so damn good at. They know precisely why you are a solo male, staying at the Ticuan.
Breakfast is quite well done in the hotel lobby restaurant. BTW, I find the brisk 10-15 min walk to the Zona both refreshing and interesting. It's perfectly safe in the daytime, using your big city awareness skills of course, and you'll see a bit of Tijuana other Mongers rarely get to sample, but should. Walking back after nightfall might be nerve wracking for some, primarily because the streets are deserted late at night. No worries, though, as cabs are plentiful and inexpensive from the Zona.
Caprese7 makes a good point on the noise emanating from Las Pulgas and I've been roused out of a deep chica-induced sleep more than once by some idiot practicing his trumpet at high volume at 6:00 AM. Best to request a room facing away from the club when you check in.
Go and enjoy a little different part of Tijuana. It's all part of a great experience.

I wish you guys would quit selling the Ticuan. It is becoming imposible to reserve a room there on a weekend unless you know you are coming a week in advance.
The music from Pulgas is loud. It is far from the Zona. There might be some left over leakage from the medical patients. And you may be risking your life, a monger even set the place on fire once while trying to romance a ho with candles.
Yes, I agree about the talent at the front desk. There is usually a cute little brunette latina that works there in the mid-afternoons. And yes, this is a very smart go-to choice after a couple of nights in the Zona at Cascadas. The restaurant does do a very nice job as you mentioned and the walk to the Zona is refreshing and fairly safe as long as you do it in the daytime. Still, I usually taxi down since I generally sleep / rest in the afternoon and early evening. As for the noise from Las Pulgas, yes. It is best to request a room facing away from the club, but I am usually awake around 7 am or so which is well before the noise gets going over there. Then, I usually head to the ligna around 2 am, so the noise at Las Pulgas is rarely an issue for me.

Not sure if we are "selling it", but it has proven to be a nice alternative to Cascadas and the Zona on the 3rd night for me. I have yet to have a bad stay there and the service and amenities are much better. The music at Las Pulgas rarely bothers me since I am not in the room anytime after 7 or 8 am. Once I head in a taxi to the Zona for a while, I usually come back to Ticuan, pack my bags and head to the ligna around 2 am. It is true what you say however regarding reservations....you really do have to book your room well in advance for weekend stays.

First off, I am going to be in Tijuana on 9/7 thru 9/9 and would be happy to meet with you if you would find that helpful. I only make the trip there about 4 or 5 times a year and will be coming with 1 or 2 friends who both speak perfect Spanish. Having a friend around always helps - almost certainly helps to be real honest. Just send me a private message if you would like to meet.
Anyhow, here are a series of suggestions that I would recommend if "I" was visiting there for the first time:-Great post Caprese.
I really appreciate all of the great information in your post, as well as other posters. I feel quite comfortable that I can make my way to La Zona without any problems now. Hopefully, I can absorb all the information that I have learned and put it into practice out in the field.
I am quite excited about this trip and all of the support this forum provides is fantastic. My only fear is that I will enjoy myself too much and that the mere thought of making return trips in the future will start to drain my bank account. LOL. I think for my initial trip I might try and stay in La Zona and satisfy my inner adventure at a later date. Though an excursion would be welcomed if I happen to meet some cool people.
Anyway, I have yet to decide if I want to subscribe to this forum on a permanent basis. I am well aware of the benefits it may provide and after my first trip I will surely consider membership. Especially if I see this particular pleasure as being a stable in my yearly plans. So, I look forward to Thursday and should arrive at around 3 pm if everything goes smoothly. If anyone sees a guy with long hair walking around lost, feel free to point me in the right direction.
Thanks everyone.
Glad I (and we all) could be of assistance.
My final words for you: Be respectful to everyone you encounter (I am sure you will), have a "budget" in mind, don't walk around late at night by yourself and finally, just have a terrific time! We are in Tijuana now by the way, so you are likely to find us in either Las Chavelas or La Gloria Bar between 7:30 pm and 2 or 3 am. There should be at least 2 of us and probably 3. Oh, and if you get the chance, do check out Honk Kong Club (I find it a bit overrated to be honest - for the experience that is), but try to get to "Adelitas" around 11pm or 12am tonight and check out the scene. Thursday and Friday nights are certain to me much better there as well. Ciao *.
Great post Caprese.

My trip to Tijuana has sadly concluded again. Another great time down there and felt like a pro from the wealth of info provided on this forum. Another big thank you to everyone. I'm not sure how much new info I can provide, but nevertheless wanted to share my experience. I arrived on Sunday and getting to the border turned out to be quite a challenge. I waited an hour for the 992 bus and traffic was a nightmare because of some festival / event going on in San Diego. It took around 2 hours to get from the airport to the border. There was actually a bit of a line to enter Mexico presumably due to the holiday. Once in Mexico I took the second cabbie's offer of $5 (down from the first offer of $10) to take me to Cascadas. It took about 30 minutes to get checked into my room because there were so many people taking chicas arriba and only one person working the front desk. I got a single room on the 6th floor and tipped the workers to get an abundant supply of towels, toilet paper, etc for my 4 day stay. The room was clean, bed was fine, and the wifi was much stronger than my previous trip and I never lost connection once.
Once showered and settled in I went to Oxxo to get a bottle of water and bag. I then went to Piri and got a 4 pack of Figaral for the same 56 pesos as indicated on here. I put the pharmacy bag inside the Oxxo bag to avoid any unnecessary confrontation with the police just for precautionary measures. Police presence seemed to be a lot higher than my first trip. I routinely saw police trucks (often loaded with offenders in the back) cruising up and down the alley. I went to Hong Kong and got my VIP coupons printed out and can confirm that VIP members can indeed print out the free drink and 1/2 off dance coupons every 12 hours, which I did throughout my entire trip. The streets were buzzing with locals and turistas Sunday and Monday but then slowed down substantially Tuesday.
Hong Kong club truly is a magical place. You walk in there and the energy is second to none. Unfortunately the meseros seemed to be even more aggressive than my previous trip and that really takes a lot of the excitement out of it for me personally. The most fun I had in Hong Kong this trip was on a slow Tuesday with a 27 year old bubbly woman named Nissan (who made it a point to tell me several times that she drove a Mini Cooper). She lived in Las Playas, two kids, thick in the right places, with a lot muscle hidden under that thickness. I wanted to go arriba with her but her shift was almost over and she said she had to get her kid. We spent the remainder of her shift in the lap dance booth. Best "dance" I've gotten in HK and she offered everything up right there but I declined (too cramped in there). I told the mesero to lose track of time while in the booth like I always do with success, however this time when I left the booth there were two meseros and a manager all with their hands out. I gave the manager the tip intended for my mesero and left. I know I will probably catch some heat for this, but throughout my entire trip I didn't go arriba with a single woman from Hong Kong. I got my free drinks and half off dances and would hit the streets.
Many of the same faces in the alley behind Cascades and a few new ones. I went with all my favorites, Wendy, Charlene, and Natasha. All really sweet, sexy, and fun and I was surprised that many of the women I was with my first trip actually remembered me. There was a new woman (at least new to me) there in high demand who stood outside Cascadas during the day and often wore leopard / cheetah print skimpy dresses. I overheard someone negotiating with her and she declined an offer of $40. I searched for a woman that one of the bros shared on here named Cathy / Katrina but couldn't find her. Maybe next time. I expanded my comfort zone a bit this trip approaching a few women working on Constitucion, but many of them wouldn't go to Cascadas and after some horrid experiences in other countries with ST rooms, I didn't want to return to them in Tijuana. I cannot say enough good things about Natasha. She's been in the game for several years but she doesn't act like it. She stands out in front of Azul at night. She is hands down my favorite woman in the alley and I really haven't seen many others talking about her on here. My last night she came up to say good bye at around 2 am. I was over sexed and sleep deprived and she just hung out laying in bed talking, groping, and dare I say cuddling for 90 minutes or so. I gave her some money for spending time with me one last time and being so sweet. I will be sure to mail out some Save the Date cards to everyone on here soon, haha.
Similar to my last trip, I spent a lot of time hanging out on the rear balcony overlooking the alley. I met a some really cool people out there on both trips and it's always fun to share stories. One guy I met was like a Tijuana historian who had been visiting for over 25 years and I really enjoyed hearing about the history and development of La Coahuila over the years. One interesting experience I wanted to share about the balcony. I struck up a conversation with one of the Cascadas employees out there mopping. I told him I was looking for new chicas. He said he could call the perfect girl who just started working a few days ago (which probably means a hardened vet, haha). About ten minutes later a young woman named Mariana shows up at the door of the balcony in a skimpy bikini top. If she is new, I'm sure she will do very well, although I didn't take her up. She was too tall for my tastes with braces and she wanted 1,000 pesos (which some of would have gone to the Cascadas employee no doubt for the referral). I just found this new sales technique pretty convenient, a woman was brought up and presented to me versus me going hunting in the alley.
A quick note on Las Chavelas. I do agree with what many have said on here recently concerning the quality of women in there compared to the other bars. I found that the women weren't all necessarily more gordo but definitely older on average. I found myself relaxing in there a couple times between sessions and struck up a conversation with a lovely older woman named Abril. She was in her thirties and kept her body in pretty good shape. I told her that I was tired from my eventful day in Tijuana and she started kissing my neck and massaging me. I commented on how good her massage felt and she said she could come and hang in my room and give me a very nice massage. It was 2 am at this point and I said I would take her up on her offer the following day. I returned the following day looking for her but could not find her. I ended up doing the same deal plus BJ with another woman named Ellen?? She was older and did not have a body like Abril, but I really wanted a massage so I took her up for 700. Great massage and BJ / HJ and really no mention of time limits. I actually had to get her moving on her way after about 2 hours. The value was definitely there and I will return to LC my next trip seeking out the same type of arrangement after days of mongering.
Lastly, I just wanted to again express my gratitude to everyone on this forum. For me Tijuana is whatever you want it to be. When I visit it is for multiple days so I didn't put pressure on myself with a required number of pops per day, etc. I think I did that my cherry trip and got worn out. This trip was way more relaxing and rewarding for me. I spent time on Revolucion daily and can definitively agree with an earlier recommendation of Giuseppes. Surprisingly wonderful Italian food at under $10 per person sin alcohol. El Corriente is still one of my favorites as well. A lot of construction going on in Revolucion and the bike police were all smiles. No police confrontations for me my entire trip anywhere in Tijuana. All in all, sexy gorgeous women, great food, met some good people, and had a wonderful time. Only question remaining now is how soon I will return for my third trip.
I'll have to try Las Chavelas again. Been there twice. The first time it was afternoon and nearly deserted. The second time it was with a chica I brought from HK (coals to Newcastle, but I had a great time with her). I like women (as opposed to girls), so I'll have to try Las Chavelas on a popular evening. Appreciate you taking time to convey your experience.

You got some very good deals with the girls for a new timer.
There are enough diversion in and around Tijuana that you can definitely make it into whatever you want. La Zona is definitely a very relaxing place to kick back and enjoy life to the fullest, eating, drinking, smoking, gambling, flirting, having fun with the young chicas in the bars and having passionate sex with them in bed, day and night without inhibition and without having to rob banks to do it. Where else can you find a more satisfying place for a week or 2 of vacation? Tijuana is becoming a lively, colorful, decadent, sexy vacation place just like Havana in the 50's.
When not having sex with the chicas in bed, there are enough attractions and a lively food scene in Tijuana to occupy even the most curious and intrepid travelers of the world. During the day time the Pacific coast along Baja California has some bustling fishing villages, nice, clean, pristine beaches, with hot golden sand and blue, cool surf, dotted with unique bars and restaurants, worth taking a few girls for a romantic tour.
Further South, Ensenada is a very nice, clean, civilized town with good restaurants and deep sea fishing, and an interesting wine country, worth visiting. If Ensenada has the same large selections of good-looking putas like Tijuana, it would be a perfect vacation spot.
Glad you had a good time in Tijuana while breaking a few new grounds for new and old timers alike.
I went to Hong Kong and got my VIP coupons printed out and can confirm that VIP members can indeed print out the free drink and 1/2 off dance coupons every 12 hours, which I did throughout my entire trip. The streets were buzzing with locals and turistas Sunday and Monday but then slowed down substantially Tuesday.
Hong Kong club truly is a magical place. You walk in there and the energy is second to none. Unfortunately the meseros seemed to be even more aggressive than my previous trip and that really takes a lot of the excitement out of it for me personally. The most fun I had in Hong Kong this trip was on a slow Tuesday with a 27 year old bubbly woman named Nissan (who made it a point to tell me several times that she drove a Mini Cooper). She lived in Las Playas, two kids, thick in the right places, with a lot muscle hidden under that thickness. I wanted to go arriba with her but her shift was almost over and she said she had to get her kid. We spent the remainder of her shift in the lap dance booth. Best "dance" I've gotten in HK and she offered everything up right there but I declined (too cramped in there)..
I am going to Tijuana on Tuesday and Wednesday. This is my first trip there since I was in the Navy in 1964. Will be staying at Cascades. I posted in craigslist that I was looking for a girl that was ok with me video taping our session. Received several replies with one very interesting reply. Girl said she was fine with that and also had a friend that would also do video. Said her friend could run the camera while we played or I could film her and her friend playing. Sounds like exactly what I am looking for. She also said that they were fine meeting me at Cascades. She attached a pic of a girl with a nice looking body. No face visible. Question is do any of you guys use craigslist girls? Do any of you get bad feelings about this deal? Also, if anyone is going next Tuesday or wed. Would you like to meet up? Thanks all, and I will write a report at the conclusion of this trip.

Girls who advertise on CL tend to want to be more discreet. Otherwise they'd work in bars. For that reason, girls who work on CL very rarely will agree to meet at a Zona Norte hotel. There are a few, but a very few.
Frankly, the setup smells fishy. Furthermore, I have no idea why you'd want to set up shop in Cascadas in the first place. If you want to shoot videos there are far better love motels in Tijuana, at far less expensive rates, to do just that. King beds, Jacuzzis, stripper poles, whatever.
IMO, if you truly haven't been to Tijuana since LBJ was in the White House, you'd be better off to make a few trips to see how things work, get a bit of experience dealing with the ladies, figure out how the love motels work, and develop some contacts with some genuine CL girls. THEN shoot your fantasy videos. Otherwise, let's just say things may not turn out exactly as you plan.
I am down to meet up, I usually go to Hong Kong or street walkers, never tried craigslist.I will be spending most of my time in Hong Cong. I am early 70's, shaved head and white goatee. If you see me there lets visit.
Thanks much for your info. I was also feeling uncomfortable with this deal. I do like your advise and will follow it. I am fairly close to 75. Actually 71. Life has been good and I am still horney. One pop a day and I am good. Again.
Thanks!

For those planning on visiting Tijuana this week keep in mind Thursday is the celebration of Mexican Independence day. Not to be confused with Cinco de Mayo. The holiday the breweries encourage us to celebrate in the USA. If you happen to find yourself in Tijuana on Cinco de Mayo it will pretty much be like any other day. However if you make it down for September 15th you will find a very festive atmosphere. You may have noticed the decorations are already going up.
HAVE FUN.
A quick two night, one day visit. Flew into SAN on Wednesday evening and did the bus-trolley transfer. Worked out well in my case. Was at San Ysidro changing money an hour and five minutes after leaving the airport. Across the border the first taxi asked for ten bucks, but thanks to the awesome community here I knew better. Must have been a slow night as the second one agreed on the five dollars just as God instructed. Kind of interesting: Must have been new because he seemed genuinely surprised that Cascadas rents as a standard hotel in addition to the short times.
Hit the service desk for the VIP card. They were out of the plastic cards so issued me a hand-scrawled facsimile that proved to be problematic about half the times I used it. The doormen seemed to be up to speed but the mezeros, etc. , were pretty much clueless. Now I have to get back to Tijuana within four months to amortize the cost. The things we must do sometimes!
Got my single room and went off in search of someone to share it with for a while. Wanted to track down Paola but, as mentioned, she is hard to catch thanks to the rest of you guys and apparently every other male with a pulse in a fifty mile radius. I never even got a glimpse of her in my four attempts over the next day. An even better reason to return within four months!
Instead I chose poorly from within Hong Kong, seduced by a pretty Selena Gomez face and an impressive cleavage that turned out to have a lot of other impressive, as measured by size only, assets. Yes, I scored a fatty. The session did not go well despite her gallant efforts. My lower head is no fan of condoms so often FS can be difficult at my usual Asian haunts, but here even the BJ was covered (did not inquire about any extra-cost options as I considered it would be throwing more money away. Just putting lipstick on the pig), so I ended up having to give her a hand.
With that debacle fresh in mind, the next morning I walked to Farmacia Piri for some generic Viagra. I was surprised at how close it was and decided I would hoof it to PedWest the next day rather than hassle with taxis. Killed more time eating at Azul but returned to a still un-made up room. Do they normally clean the daily rooms? I went off to kill more time, asking the front desk to have the room done. It never was so I was left with one moderately clean towel, mine, and one funky one, hers, that she had tossed onto the floor after use to serve as a bathmat. To put the best spin on it, true, the usable towel had buffed an ass crack, but at least it was MY ass crack. Also, there were no visible brown streaks.
That evening I again made several prowls at the Cascadas alley door but there was no Paola so I went in HK to make a selection. I was determined to avoid another porcine porking so became hyper-critical, particularly in the butt department. It seems that butt size standards have loosened over the years. As evidence I offer just two words, "Kim Kardashian", but I cannot lie unless possible incarceration is involved: I am no Sir Mix-a-Lot. My failure to embrace the new golden gluteal standard pretty much annihilated the HK dancing staff: either the butts were obviously too large or were concealed, often by remarkably strong and stretchy dresses. I'm not saying fat here, though some certainly qualified. Just in excess of my old fashioned standard.
Then a heavenly ass ascended a single occupancy stage. I have no idea how to describe which stage is which, but the important thing is this is the one where the dancers generally get topless. And she did. Moving from top down it was an ever-lovelier trek: the face was actually borderline, but I had a pretty face the night before and my favorite two positions do not include a view of the face, anyway. The boobs were small but had neat pointy nipples that just begged to be molested. And that ass! Paydirt!
Her name was Elisa and a couple fichas later we were out of there. Again CBJ, then she mounted cowgirl. Things didn't work out. I had not taken the little helper I bought earlier because stupid. More CBJ. I asked her if she wanted another condom but something for lost in translation and I found out her premium for BBBJ was $50, so a little more than twice what I pay for the whole BBBJ in Thailand. My cheap upper brain overruled my horny lower one. Eventually, though, she understood what I was offering (I think I said "mas condom?) and on went the replacement.
Things took an immediate turn to the better. I have no idea whether it was the different model, the Magnum Thin, or, more likely, the sight of Elisa on her elbows and knees, face buried in the pillow, but the flaccid phallus phenomenon was a thing of the past. There was much pounding. There was much mutual sweating. There would be much stiffness on the morrow. Finally I rolled off and she finished me by hand as I groped and kneaded some perfectly sized buttocks.
Friday morning around 10:30 I staggered out of Cascadas and headed for PedWest. I didn't find the temporary catwalk / bridge nearly as rickety as some have described, but the business of those speed bumps every eight feet was pretty egregious. Fortunately previous posters (thanks!) had mentioned the issue so I had brought my roller / backpack convertible bag and in thirty seconds things got a lot better. Probably would have been a handful maneuvering the roller through the narrow slot between the queues on each side, anyway. I went through that gap with some trepidation. I assumed that it was like the PedEast arrangement where one eventually gets to the head of the lines and finds the SENTRI lane, but I had been unable to confirm it.
I was seriously relieved when I got there. There were two (presumably) Mexican women ahead of me in the line but it turned out that they were not supposed to be there and were sent packing, probably back to the other side of the Continental Divide where the back of the lines were. I would have breezed through except that the CBP agent and I had some common backgrounds so we had a BS session for about five minutes since no one was behind me. At first I thought it was just a ploy to get my guard down before asking if I was toting a small Mexican contortionist in my bag, but no, he was just a friendly, chatty guy.
I opted to wait for the 907 bus to get to the trolley. This turned out to be a bad move as it was really, really late, though it wasn't like I was in a hurry to get anywhere: I planned the return to get to the airport two and a half hours before my flight so I could shower and hang out in the Airspace (American and Alaska Airlines, among others) lounge. Kind of funny: The Mexicans obviously know a thing or two about queuing in lines if they cross the border regularly and I was chastised for not properly lining up for the bus: I was about six feet from the next person and some middle aged matron corrected me.

Funny report. A guy who flew a long distance to Tijuana, to find that perfect girl, with good looks and nice, gentle personality, to entrust his deepest feelings for the most passionate and intimate sessions in bed. This could be the start of a new romantic novel with the bustling, noisy, colorful and exotic Tijuana as the cultural background.
I've got to tell Paola the whole story next time my fingers caress her clit and her wet pussy, giving her shaking orgasms, while I gaze deeply into her pretty eyes. Hehe. The truth is Paola is not even that busy even with all the promotion recently. She was always available when I looked for her, but has been absent for the last few weeks. She probably went home for a quick visit end of summer.
One time I was screwing her the slowest and gentlest ways I could. Paola was in a daze in pleasure with her eyes fluttering closed, her mouth gaping open. I could not resists and stuck my tongue into her mouth for a DFK. She quickly got all mad; her tiny, sexy body flew off the bed. She stood in front of the mirror, putting clothes and lipstick back on to get out of the room, angrily chastising me for kissing her. I moseyed over and embraced her from behind, kissing her sexy neck and her shoulder, apologizing with lots of 'Lo siento. " She calmed down. I dragged her back to bed and we resumed our hot session. Hehe. She acts very similar to a few hot-tempered GFs I once had.
I am also turned off by the excess glutony that shows up on chicas butts and midriffs, some even carry ugly and ridiculous fake boobs and butts. A few times the crude rock-hard fake boobs and saggy, squishy asses just killed off my libido in bed. I prefer the real, natural, spongy body features, even if they are slightly imperfect. The trick in HK is to carry a load of $ in your pocket, hand them out liberally while kissing mouths, squeezing boobs, grabbing butts, groping crotches to check for the right firmness and texture, while gauging the chicas' responses to your touch. If you find a chica with the real goods and she's smiling, pulling closer, offering a kiss, while being touched, that's a good sign that she will probably give you a very sexy, passionate time in bed.
Glad you had a sexy time in your quick visit. Hope to see you back soon to amortize the cost of your VIP paper, and with more funny reports.

Nice report. In my experience Cascadas rooms are never cleaned or replenished on their own. However, for a small tip to any of the workers you can get a fresh stack of towels, toilet paper, new sheets / pilllows, etc. I totally agree with you on the HK butt trend, not my cup of tea.

Are you afraid of being beat up and robbed by 2 helpless Mexican girls?
For old time sake, go ahead and book them into your hotel. Have them leave their IDs at reception desk. Lock up and hide all your valuables. Restate or write down all acts you want done including the videos. Don't pay upfront, or pay only half upfront and delay the balance and propinas at the end of a satisfied session. Go ahead and have a wild, sexy time with the 2 chicas in bed. What are you afraid of? Treat the session just like combat; protect yourself, guard your supplies, be ready to fire your weapons, then charge and conquer your enemies!
If you don't try, you never gain anything. You think your troops would gain anything, go anywhere by hiding all day, all night in their fox holes? I would be far more afraid of these 2 chicas' honeypot tactics, drawing you in deep into their territory with their sweet sexiness, then boom, ambushing your ass and cleaning your clock. Hehe.
I have a wingman who sold off his house and offered up all his asset to a HK chicas just to be able to suck her butt hole and fuck her pussy bareback occasionally. It would be very interesting to see how general Westmoreland's troops survive a hypothetical war against the Mexican puta guerillas, after their asses got reamed by the VCs with their bamboo sticks. Hehe.
Thanks much for your info. I was also feeling uncomfortable with this deal. I do like your advise and will follow it. I am fairly close to 75. Actually 71. Life has been good and I am still horney. One pop a day and I am good. Again.

Go directly to the service desk and get all your receipts for comps there. You can redeem them yourself at the bar directly or with any waiter. The comp receipts are good for 12 hours from the time stamp and then it resets.

Cascadas is not your standard hotel. You must be present for them to make your room. You can stand there and watch them clean or you can wait outside the door. The best way to have your room cleaned quickly is to track down a cum boy and tell him you will tip him to clean your room. He will usually come right away. For towels right when I check in I head down the back SW staircase to the third floor where there is always a cart with fresh towels. Usually a cum boy is there so I ask him for 4 towels and tip him. It's the quickest way to get fresh towels.

Everything in HK is pretty much YMMV in service. It's pretty rare to get BBBJ from a first time encounter. If you want BBBJ go with an escort. I have noticed that when you repeat regularly with a HK girl the menu will naturally open up to the point you will eventually get BBFS.
Picked up some generic Viagra at Piri. Got 3 boxes for $20. Each with 10 pills of one hundred milligram. So it was $1.50 per pill. How much are we paying for it in the USA? About $15 per pill?
Fucking US Pharmaceutical Mafia have all of us by the nuts. Someone should hack these companies and release all drug patents to the rest of the world. Do it in the name of humanity. Wikileaks hack something actually beneficial to mankind.

Picked up some generic Viagra at Piri. Got 3 boxes for $20. Each with 10 pills of one hundred milligram. So it was $1.50 per pill. How much are we paying for it in the USA? About $15 per pill?Check your math, you inverted the numbers. 30 pills for $20 is $0. 67 per pill from Piri for the generic stuff.
I checked Costco.com for Viagra price and they charge $509 for 10 pills, a hefty $51 for a 100 mg pill. The lower dose pills are actually a little more expensive per pill, I have no idea why.
In my case I have insurance and the cost to me is $45 for 24 tablets, or $1. 88 per pill. The first time I bought Viagra was several years ago when I didn't have insurance, at that time I paid about $12 for a 50 mg pill.
I did a google search on "price viagra" and got the following summary response: "Right now the average Viagra prices Walgreens, CVS and Walmart quote total around $300 for a pack containing 10 100mg pills, which breaks down to $30 per pill."
Generic Viagra should be launched in USA in December 2017, though the Pfizer patent doesn't expire until April 2020.

Despite the fear projected by some of these guys, it's not illegal to carry liquor in public in Tijuana, as long as you don't drink from it, or appear falling down drunk in public. Also it's not a huge problem sneaking liquor or taking pictures in HK. In fact taking pictures with your chicas is permitted as long as they don't object. HK even has photographers roaming the bar, taking pictures for you and your sweeties for $5. If you get caught, most likely by the security cameras on the ceiling, the worst that could happen is the security guys would mosey over, politely asking you to delete the pics or leave your cameras / flask with customer service. They won't touch your phones.
I have been to Tijuana over 15 years, pretty much every weekend. I have been searched twice by groups of foot-patrol policias, in the dark after mid night, on that long walk from the taxi drop off curb to the border. Both times I held my wallet and cash in my hands. They went through my pockets searching for drugs, but found nothing, and I did not lose anything. Their manners were firm with authority, but restrained and professional. I did not feel I was harassed or in danger with them at any time. They let me go quickly.
Both times I was looking at their faces as I walked past them, even said Hi. That aroused their suspicion. But I have also walked past policia on foot hundred times without being molested. So just act cool when passing policia, don't look at them, don't arouse their suspicion and you won't be searched. If you are caught with violation and cannot argue your ways out of it, pretend you just find $5 or $10 someone dropped on the street. Think of it as a little help to your poor friends to feed their families. They would likely let you go free.
HK staffs and Tijuana policias know their jobs well, work hard, seem to obey strict rules and treat tourists / mongers with deference. Tijuana policia have different problems and different rules of engagement than US PD. But they seem to work hard and are effective. Every time there was a shooting, they would be on site immediately, chasing and arresting the shooters on the spot, or within a few hours. With the horrible unemployment, abject poverty, desperation and rampant drug addiction in Tijuana, just imagine how bad the crime situation would quickly become without the strong policia. Looks to me they are far more effective and efficient than LA or SD PD. City hall knows tourists and mongers are good sources of income. Policias are there to protect them. That'ts why you see so many poiicia in Zona Norte and the tourists' traps on Revolucion. If a few mongers are so weak and stupid, shaking and wetting their pants near policia, that's their own problem but should not be yours. Calling Tijuana policia "monkey" is a stupid attempt at insulting, can only come from a few really weak guys.
A few guys in this forum seem to have developed this very irrational fear for policia and HK meseros alike. They seem to be shaking at the sight of people of authority, like policia and meseros. You do have rights and you are protected by the laws of Mexico, as well as rights as consumers, protected by HK's management. Be strong and be ready to defend your rights. Don't cower and shake in front of the authority like a few guys.
I have been going to Tijuana for 15 years, mostly by myself at night. I have not been robbed or had anything stolen from me, ever. I feel safer in La Zona than in downtown San Bernardino. Check out the latest murder and you will see. The chicas and workers in La Zona have been honest and helpful. Don't let the irrational fear from a few retards worry you and prevent you from having the sexiest times of your life with the sweet, sexy, pretty chicas of Tijuana.

Hey, maybe I should write to Dana Rohrabacher (my congressman) to tell him where to get $6 blow jobs?
Go directly to the service desk and get all your receipts for comps there.
You must be present for them to make your room. ...track down a cum boy and tell him you will tip him to clean your room.
It's pretty rare to get BBBJ from a first time encounter. If you want BBBJ go with an escort.Thanks for the info! Maybe in a few more visits I won't be a complete noob and start to really enjoy it. The BBBJ is important, but not critical. I wasn't even asking for it but found out the upcharge due to woefully inadequate Spanish.
Without starting the usual war on the subject, what is a rough idea for the cum boy tip?

Regarding US and European companies, India has always resisted these patents and supplies half the world with their generic products. I have to take some medications daily and USA companies charge hundreds of dollars while I found over the internet Indian herbal products that work the same for few dollars! When I have no insurance, I am moving to the Indian version. The Indian generic Viagra and other ED products are available worldwide, may stopped in USA by the USA companies. I got some in Cambodia and they were dirt cheap.
I have never has any success with generic Viagra in Tijuana. Never worked. Let us know how yours does.Considering about 1/3 of placebo patients report improved erections, Mexican generics may provide that same effect.
Had the chance to take another friend down to Tijuana last week. As a matter of fact, there were supposed to be three (3) of us, but one fell sick. Still, we left Nevada at 10 am and headed down through the 605 FWY to pick up the third person only to find out he was not feeling too well, so we stopped at a local Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and headed onto the 405 FWY towards San Diego. The guy I was bringing goes quite often, but we have never been to Tijuana together, so this was going to be fun. His name is Alejandro and he speaks fluent Spanish as compared to my "just get by" Spanish. Nontetheless, I texted BaxterSlade that I was heading down towards the border and we agreed to meet at the Camino De La Plaza that afternoon. Just prior to that, we found a Taco Bell near National City and brought two 40's in there and ate tacos and burritos while pouring the 40's of Bud Light and Coors light into the Taco Bell cups (see photo below). We agreed to eat a lot just before crossing so that we wouldn't have to hassle with it later on in the night. The funny thing was, we arrived at virtually the same time. Worked out perfectly really. Baxter was kind enough (since I forgot to print them out) to bring a couple of the 50% coupons for LC / Cascadas and we didn't even need to get them signed at Las Chavelas which is usally the hassle. So, we got our rooms (all 3 of us were on the same floor). Since Alejandro usually stays at a hotel down the street, this was his first chance to stay at Cascadas and I do believe that he was pleasantly surprised. Especially after seeing all the HK girls at the front desk and in front of the hotel. Once we got to our rooms, we got our A / see working, the safe key and the TV remote. The nice thing at Cascadas now is that the A / see has its' own button / switch on the wall, so there is not need to pay the deposit or to get the remote. I helped Alejandro understand how the room worked (the safe, the red light, the TV channels etc.) then gave him a mini-tour of the balcony area and the gift shop downstairs. Cascadas does take a little getting used to for those who have stayed there before. From there, we chilled in our rooms for about 30 minutes or so and I grabbed a shower and put some of my stuff away. It was terrific weather and by the time we went to meet Baxter at Las Chavelas, the sun was beginning to set. Somewhere in between, I ran across the street to Caliente to make a couple of bets on the late games and I think Baxter had already been there earlier to make his bets. I remember that once we entered Las Chavelas, Baxter was at the bar and Alejandro and I sat at the booth across from him next to the stage. The girls were fairly decent, but overall nothing really worth putting too much money into. That didn't phase Alejandro though as he found himself what looked like a white girl, but she claimed she was from the Tijuana area. She had long hair, huge boobies (like that term?) and a sparkling personality. Basically, she was aggressive, but with a balance. She did what she should do. She made Alejandro feel welcome and danced all over him keeping him buying fichas and showing her lots of love. She did give us a little show (refer to photos below) at the booth which was very kind and after 2 or 3 hours, both Alejandro and I were in about 15 to 18 beers. I was also entertaining a girl that was kissing me and allowing me to do virtually anything I wanted (she had black hair, a nice smile and was very ethnic. Latina). However, she was a tiny bit (and I am very picky) on the heavy side for me (possibly perfect for some others though.), so I figured she was worth 4 or 5 fichas and that would be it. So, it was time to look for the exit and make our way somewhere else. And La Gloria Bar came to mind. I told Baxter that I would meet him there and told the girl that we would return around 1 am or so. Alejandro stayed in the bar since the girl he was with was giving him mucho amor. At this point, Alejandro was becoming lit like a pinball machine. So, I told Alejandro that I would leave for a bit and come back to get him. A trip around the block sounded good to me as I checked out the girls and even looked for 1 or 2 of my favorites who were not present. Slightly dissapointed, I headed over to LG Bar to see if one of my favorite girls was there. And well, she wasn't. But, BaxterSlade was inside and he and I sat down in a booth and just chatted a bit. Many of the girls in there were a bit more attractive than what we saw at Las Chavelas, but my regular waiter was not there which was dissapointing. So, a few beers later and I saw a girl (very thin and slightly tall) dancing with a couple other girls on the dance floor to a song from LOS Tigres Del Norte. She really, really caught my eye by the way she swayed. Very hot and tasty. Baxter could tell that I was honing-in on something. Soon, I went to get Alejandro who really had no idea where he was and brought him out of Las Chavelas and over to La Gloria Bar. Once we reached the La Gloria bar, the beer count for Alejandro was in the 30 range and probably 25 for myself. BaxterSlade's beer count was an unknown variable. Still, a girl with half her head shaved on one side with nice eyes spotted Alejandro as we sat in the booth next to the stage. She was sitting on the inner portion next to the stage. She wasn't at all my type, but Alejandro appreciated the attention. The problem was, Alejandro was running out of money and had to go back to the room to get some pesos from the safe. I said, "Don't worry about it" and bought his next few rounds including a couple of fichas for his shaved-head girl. She was friendly and did not drink too fast. I kept eyeing the girl who was dancing that I spoke about earlier and she knew it. As she sat down with a few of her friends, I asked the waitress to send a ficha over to her (from me), but that I did not want her to join me yet.....but later, yes. Baxter at this point made his way outside and somewhere around the block - and he eventually made his way back to La Gloria. The girl I was admiring then came over to me and we proceeded to dance about 5 or 6 times and drink some beers together. She ordered one of those (no idea what they are called) chocolate stick things that looks like a kid's toy for $1. Still, she was very sexy and thin and she was kind to me. I probably spent another $70 or so inside the bar before it got to be about 3:45. The important thing for me was that I kept drinking a lot of water (and pissing a lot in el bano) which has been my secret the past few trips. The H20 is crucial for me down there......really keeps me hydratated and is less of a hangover the next day. We stayed in La Gloria until about 4am at which point Alejandro stayed and bit and I decided that I would join Hugo in a walk around the block to find a possible SG to take back to the room. I figured I would save my girl at La Gloria for the next night. The SG's were either unfriendly that night, or just plain undesirable. Baxter did find one that he made a deal with and as I went to my room to crash for the night (already told Alejandro to meet me back at Cascadas either later or most likely, the next morning). Story to be continued in the next post..........
So, the story continues. The second-half begins with Day #2 which was a bit bizarre. It began by my purchasing a toothbrush at the gift shop for Alejandro since he forgot his. This toothbrush would surface later in the trip report......I woke up around 11 am-11:15 and eventually made it out of the room by 11:45 or so. Checking on Baxter and he was gone from the room. I then knocked on Alejandro's door and after a delayed reaction for 2 minutes, he answered looking like a train wreck. He must have slept in his clothes and probably hadn't had a shower since the prior morning. I figured Baxter might be in Caliente across the street, so I walked over, said Hello, to Wendy and made my way up the stairs. Baxter wasn't there, so I made a few bets for that afternoon and went back across the street to Cascadas to meet Alejandro. We all eventually met-up near our rooms and decided to go get some food at Giusseppe's down on Ave Revolucion. Alejandro had never eaten there (and, well. Still hasn't) so I figured it would be a solid start to the day after a night of drinking. We decided to walk as it really only takes about 10 to 15 minutes or so. Now, we must keep in mind that Alejandro was having a terrific time, but the alcohol from the prior night just had not worn off. As we walked down Avenida Revolucion and were about 2 minutes from Giussepe's, Baxter and I realized as we were crossing the street that Alejandro was caught-up chatting with some Hispanic woman and her...um....very young daughter. I believe that Alejandro was just trying to be friendly and be funny, but we noticed him getting a little too friendly and all of a sudden....wham! The policia ran over towards him on the corner of Juarez and Revolucion (where Baxter and I were standing waiting for the signal to walk) and stopped Alejandro in his tracks. Two policia turned into 3, then 4 and soon we had 6 policia and 2 vehicles. The woman across the street was yelling profanities at Alejandro and giving him the finger. She left the area with her daughter moments later after she called the police over towards Alejandro.
Here are a few photos as Part III of the report will be written later today.

I have never has any success with generic Viagra in Tijuana. Never worked. Let us know how yours does.I normally use viagra but sometimes use the generic stuff from Piri. Generic has always worked for me, but sometimes it seems it doesn't last as long.
Piri sells at least 2 brands of generic and I've only used one of them. One is something like Figeral, I've used the other one but can't remember the name.

While I have not tried either that is the one the Kind Mexican immigration officer recomended when we were discussing how he keeps his GF satisfied. He suggested the 50 MG dosage.

He suggested the 50 MG dosage.I just did some google searches and learned that sildenafil citrate is sold in Mexico as Viagra, Maxifort, Figral, Mazzogran, Apodefil, and other brands. I have no way of knowing which brands are good and which brands are scams. I do have some confidence in the generic stuff Piri sold to me, most recently was a few weeks ago. I have more confidence in the real Viagra.
I have never has any success with generic Viagra in Tijuana. Never worked. Let us know how yours does.
Regarding US and European companies, India has always resisted these patents and supplies half the world with their generic products. I have to take some medications daily and USA companies charge hundreds of dollars while I found over the internet Indian herbal products that work the same for few dollars! When I have no insurance, I am moving to the Indian version. The Indian generic Viagra and other ED products are available worldwide, may stopped in USA by the USA companies. I got some in Cambodia and they were dirt cheap.Figral is the brand that worked the first time, so I've stuck with the brand ever since. I recently asked the Pharmacist which generic was best. And he told me that they were all the same regardless of price. So I stuck with Figral since it was also the cheapest in addition to the most commonly found in all the different pharmacies.
Generally I only bite off 1/3 of a 100 MG pill because if I take the whole thing at one time, my dick can get numb and I can't finish. So the Mexican generics seem to work well enough.
Part III: At this point, two policia turn into three and then four and then six. Two cars arrive and Baxter and I have no idea what is going on, except that Alejandro has "possibly" done something. All this happened on the corner of Juarez and Constitucion (see photo below). The policia explained that Alejandro had touched the mother and the daughter on the street in broad daylight. Ad the policia just happened to be in the area to witness it. One of the policia was using the word "Felonia". I wasn't sure what to say or what to do, so I calmly spoke to one of the officers to explain that Alejandro got a little carried away with the alcohol / the drinking and he was not aware of what he was doing. I further explained that we were headed to eat something and after that we were planning to take Alejandro straight to the ligna to head back to the USA. That didn't work. And the next thing we knew was Alejandro was being tossed into the back of a paddywagon and taken to the police station and possibly to the jail after that. Next, the paddywagon took off into the distance. BaxterSlade and I stood there stunned. Apparently (I asked the officer) the police station was somewhere just West of the Zona Norte, but I didn't know exactly where. So, not really knowing what to do, BaxterSlade and I went to Giuseppe's to eat and to discuss what we should do (and what was possibly happening to Alejandro). Alejandro called my cell about 10 minutes later to tell me that he was in the paddywagon. And I asked him what he wanted us to do. Alejandro said that he would be ok. That the whole thing was a "bunch of bull* BaxterSlade and I discussed the possibility of going down to the Police Station since Alejandro probably didn't have any money and he "might" go to jail for what happened. But, I was concerned that if we went to the Police Station, the policia might try to get money from us and possibly take everything we had. I said that maybe we should take most of our money to our rooms and go down there with no more than $50 cash. But at this point we finished eating and Alejandro called again, but the connection was bad and I could barely hear him. After eating, Baxter and I began walking back down Avenida Revolucion towards the Zona to discuss what the plan would be. We decided to go into Caliente Sports book to have a beer and to talk about it some more. 10 or 15 minutes later, my phone rings and it is Alejandro explaining to me that he is "Libre" - a free man. We told him to meet us at Las Chavelas (since he knows where that is located and it is one of his favorite spots) in 20 minutes. When Baxter and I leave Caliente 20 minutes later and go across the street inside LC, we see Alejandro right back where he started from. He is sitting in a booth, drinking beers and is with a girl who has a ficha. I am not sure how she got the ficha since he explained to us that he was basically "broke". He seemed happy and as if nothing had happened. At all. It didn't even seem to phase him. But, when I asked him what happened at the police station, he stated that they did not ask for any ID, and there was no paperwork done. They basically just took $200 cash from him and set him free. Moments later (as Baxter and I sat there stunned), Alejandro began sobbing a bit and getting very down and upset that there was too much "corrupcion" and everyone down there were nothing but "banditos". I asked if he had any money left, and he explained that they took his last dollar (he showed me an empty wallet), and that NOW both his passport card and his driver's license were missing. Mercy. He emptied his pockets and said he had nothing left as the girl next to him continued drinking her ficha and showing him lots of love and affection. Alejandro really didn't pay much attention to her. After emptying his pockets, all he had left in the world was what was sitting on the table. An empty wallet and, well. The toothbrush (brand new) that I had purchased for him at the Cascadas gift shop. Hilarious and quite sad simultaneously - - - We stayed there a few hours as Baxter and I watched the Carolina vs. Denver game and luckily won it in the 4th quarter with a missed field goal by Carolina.
I decided that Alejandro needed something to eat since his last meal was around 24 to 30 hours ago. We took him to "Azul" next to Cascadas and at this point it was around 7 or 8 pm. Baxter and Alejandro both got the ribeye steaks with baked potatoes and I just got something small (like rice and beans). Alejandro kept his toothbrush on the table and I asked him if he was feeling better as he was eating the chips and salsa. He kept looking at and talking to the girls all around the restaurant. Baxter finished his food and said that he needed to head back to the ligna / USA so he could get home at a reasonable time. Baxter said goodbye to Alejandro and wished him well. I stayed with Alejandro for another 30 minutes or so just to let him relax. After leaving Azul, Alejandro tried to get some money (dollaars) from the ATM machines next to Azul (one machine gives pesos and the other gives dollars) and both machines kept rejecting / declining his card. So he tried another card. And that was also declined. He became upset and we went to the ATM machine at the top of the stairs in Hotel Garcia. His card was also declined there. So, Alejandro decided to take a taxi back to the ligna so he could go to San Ysidro to try to get money from the Wells Fargo there. I offered to loan him a bit, but he insisted upon going. I asked if he wanted me to go with him, but he said he would be ok. I told him to call me when he got to the ligna / USA and to meet me at La Gloria Bar when he got back. Alejandro called, but I could not understand much of what he was saying, but it did not sound like "good news". At La Gloria bar I was looking for the girl I saw a couple nights earlier, but she was not there. So, I walked around the block a bit, then went back into La Gloria and Alejandro was still not there and I had not heard from him. My room that night was at Hotel Ticuan and (I believe, but am not sure) that Alejandro was staying at Cascadas that night. So, I went to Hotel Ticuan and checked-into my room, waited to hear from Alejandro, but my phone did not ring until I had taken a hot shower, drank a bottle of water, watched some TV and crashed for a few hours. I then saw that there were 3 messsages on my phone and Alejandro said he was back in the Zona. I called him back to tell him where I was and we agreed to meet in the morning. The next day I left my bags at Ticuan so I would not have to haul them around the Zona, and took at Taxi to meet Alejandro. He was again inside LC. We went to lunch at Caesar's (took a taxi this time. Ahem*) and he really enjoyed it. After that we went back to the Zona into Caliente Sports book for a while when I asked if he had found his passport card or License. He said "No. They were gone" I asked him to place his cards in his wallet on the table and as we siffed through them, I found both items in between all kinds of other cards. Alejandro was relieved. Very happy. We bar hopped a little, and by 10 pm we decided to head to the ligna after getting his bags at Hotel Garcia (I guess he took a girl there and stayed there overnight. Confused about all of that). Once we got the the ligna (old Ped East) it was a breeze and after changing about $150 of my cambio into dollars, we got through the ligna like a breeze and walked to the car. By 10 minutes before 11 pm, we were in the car and jumped onto the 805 FWY North. Come 5 am, I droped Alejandro off at his house, and he shook my hand and said "thank you" for a good trip, but he kept saying he was sorry for the things that happened. He felt very embarassed. I told him that "things happen" and everything worked out. I got back to my house just before the sun rose. And crashed. End of trip report. *whew*.
Alejandro should not return to Tijuana because he lacks the most basic survival skills. That God he has good friends to look after him.

I've tried Manly and Kamagra Gold from India. Kamagra Gold works just like some guys mention it on this site. Manly has an effect but I would rank the other three above it. I haven't tried Maxifort which I've heard on another site that it works great.

How did Alejandro crossed the border to go back to San Ysidro to get money out of the Wells Fargo bank if he lost his passport card and driver license before that?

Well, in the end he still had the toothbrush. But yes, the survival skills need some improvement. The rumor now is that he will be returning to Tijuana in late October.

That is a terrific question CaptainSolo. I was a tad intoxicated myself when he returned, but have no idea how to got across. I actually wonder if he really made the trip, or if he just went in a taxu ride somewhere and was feeling bad about how things were going. It was sad really. But, when he called me an hour later, I asked how it was going and he said that he was in San Ysidro and trying to get money from the ATM at the Wells Fargo there. So, your guess is good as mine really.

The CBT sensed it and made him empty his pockets where they found his passport, then put it back after checking it. He was too out of contact with reality to remember. But drunken Americans coming back after a night of heavy drinking is common. So he got through. I really hope that he doesn't try to go to Tijuana by himself. At least he isn't belligerent when drunk.

Based on what Caprese7 has reported:
1). Alejandro crossed the border going into both the United States and Mexico when he couldn't find his passport or other ID.
2). Alejandro got arrested on what seemed to be very serious charges, yet got released fairly quickly. His amigos couldn't do anything to prevent his arrest. And his amigos didn't help him at all to get released.
3). Alejandro, with no money, had a girl sitting next to him drinking a ficha, and she continued to show him affection.
4). And through all of this, he hung onto his cellphone and new toothbrush.
Seems to me like Alejandro has plenty of survival skills.
And got no meaningful help from his amigos.
Baxter Slade
09-18-16, 05:03
And got no meaningful help from his amigos.I must respectfully disagree with that statement. Although everything may not have been mentioned in Caprese 7's report. Here are a few things that come to mind.
1. As far as doing anything to prevent the arrest after the incident. Yes if we would have acted more like babysitters the incident might have been avoided. But after the fact I will say this was not your typical Tijuana shakedown. In this case it was not the usual zona norte rip off artists we were dealing with the tourist police who seem to be much more professional than those other guys. The first officer acted like a serious crime occured and he acted accordingly.
And when they were about to lead him to the tranport vehicle he started to become aggresive and when it appeared he was not going to go peacefully. His friends stepped in to calm him down and told him to go with the nice policemen. Which probably saved him from a beating and additional charges.
And then there was that incident where he tried to buy a fichia with a credit card. When buckets of fichas showed up, his friend stepped in and had the $100 charge removed from his card and the buckets sent back.
So Tijuana survival skills I guess will remain debatable. I will say after a Tijuana trip the only thing you are left with is memories, and Alijandro left us with plenty. Him sitting in the bar with a lady by his side, a tear running down his cheek and clutching that toothbrush. PRICLESS.

I've used Figral and Sildenafil in Tijuana. Sildenafil just says that in the box. Anyhow Figral is stronger but both get the job done. I've tried Manly and Kamagra Gold from India. Kamagra Gold works just like some guys mention it on this site. Manly has an effect but I would rank the other three above it. I haven't tried Maxifort which I've heard on another site that it works great.The best generic Viagra that I have ever tried and it works every time is Maxifort. None of the others have ever worked for me. I do find that the real deal Pfizer works the best of all of them.
I would say it is a very, very safe bet that he was heavily intoxicated when arriving at the border.
I'm speculating that he arrived at the border intoxicated. The CBT sensed it and made him empty his pockets where they found his passport, then put it back after checking it.

This is quite a statement. It's bold. Alejandro did not have the survival skills if his "Amigos" were not there. He would have had no money, nowhere to sleep, no company and no food. As for #1 here, I am not entirely sure that Alejandro ever really made it to the border. I asked him numerous times if he wanted me to go with him, but he insisted on going by himself. He called me a few times (and, as an Amigo, I answered every time). It was difficult to understand him since he was so intoxicated, but I kept asking, "Have your crossed the border?" "Are you at Wells Fargo"? "Is your ATM card working?" Something tells me that he may have never reached the border and some taxi driver just took him around town on a city tour.
Alejandro sat there with a girl who had a ficha because "I" paid for it. I did not include that in the story since it would have taken away from the story's appeal / effect. I did it since I wanted him to relax and forget about what had happened.
So, the reply is kinda like this: Those who have traveled with me know that I am 150% there for them. Allow me to repeat that....150%. As for "meaningful" help, I think remaining in constant contact with Alejandro; Considering what our best plan of action was; Reserving his rooms for him at Cascadas;.
Paying for his expenses the final 24 to 36 hours; Making him laugh and trying to "move forward" and put it behind him; Helping him to retrieve his passport card and driver's license what was mixed up in his messy pockets. So why the constant "Thank you's" on the ride back home and ever since that day to express how we "as Amigos" were there for him?
We played is straight and true. That was how is was done. On a final note: Alejandro cannot wait to return......But only with his Amigos.
I think you have it wrong Jackie.

Baxter is spot-on.
As for #1 here, yes. We did everything we could to maintain a "calm" situation while the police were present. We asked them to let Alejandro go, but did not try to push it too far. We even mentioned that we would take Alejandro to the border immediately after lunch. Still, we did everything we could to let Alejandro know to call us as soon as he could and to let him know that we would be there when the time came. We just didn't know where he would end up. He ended up at Las Chavelas $200 lighter.....not really our fault. But, as amigos, we were there to meet him.
As for #2: Baxter is correct. Alejandro did become aggressive and we (as amigos) did all we could to calm him down which probably was the best move for his pocketbook and his time (jail etc.).
As for #3: Yes, a few hours after the incident, a mesera took advantage of Alejandro (not knowing what was going on) and as I returned from the restroom, he was arguing with the waitress about the $100 charge on his credit card for the bucket of drinks that the girl he was with had ordered. He was still intoxicated and was not acting reasonably. Thus, it took time and convincing, but I was able to get the charge reversed. And trust me, that was an undertaking.
As for #4: It was PRICELESS. You had to be there. The humor element to the story is "not" the fact that we wanted Alejandro to suffer (and that we were taking joy in that), but that we knew he felt down in the dumps, but was having a great time simultaneously. It was child-like really. And, what is most important (and what keeps the story on an even kiel) is the fact the WE knew and Alejandro knew that his Amigos were by his side the entire time.
Or, rather. Should we have jumped into the paddy wagon with him? Would that have been the "Amigo" thing to do? No. We remain calm - maintain contact and tell him to keep calling my cell phone when he gets any news or updates. Everything works itself out. And it did.
The toothbrush remains a "symbol" of the ludicrous situation that all of us encountered that day. It's a symbol that "if" we are not with our Amigos, TJ can often be a dark and dangerous kinda place where a guy can hit rock-bottom. Hence, all he is left with is, well - a toothbrush and 5 pesos. And further yet, it makes for is another classic trip report which I believe we all try to share on this site.
I must respectfully disagree with that statement. Although everything may not have been mentioned in Caprese 7's report. Here are a few things that come to mind.
1. As far as doing anything to prevent the arrest after the incident. Yes if we would have acted more like babysitters the incident might have been avoided. But after the fact I will say this was not your typical Tijuana shakedown. In this case it was not the usual zona norte rip off artists we were dealing with the tourist police who seem to be much more professional than those other guys. The first officer acted like a serious crime occured and he acted accordingly.
And when they were about to lead him to the tranport vehicle he started to become aggresive and when it appeared he was not going to go peacefully. His friends stepped in to calm him down and told him to go with the nice policemen. Which probably saved him from a beating and additional charges.
And then there was that incident where he tried to buy a fichia with a credit card. When buckets of fichas showed up, his friend stepped in and had the $100 charge removed from his card and the buckets sent back.
So Tijuana survival skills I guess will remain debatable. I will say after a Tijuana trip the only thing you are left with is memories, and Alijandro left us with plenty. Him sitting in the bar with a lady by his side, a tear running down his cheek and clutching that toothbrush. PRICLESS.

This is quite a statement. It's bold.,.
Alejandro sat there with a girl who had a ficha because "I" paid for it. I did not include that in the story since it would have taken away from the story's appeal / effect. I did it since I wanted him to relax and forget about what had happened.I knew that my bold comments would result in a changed story. You didn't disappoint me. Your defensive comments basically bring up information not contained in the original, lengthy report. But I was commenting on what was in the original report, which is quite different:
Alejandro called my cell about 10 minutes later to tell me that he was in the paddywagon. And I asked him what he wanted us to do. Alejandro said that he would be ok. That the whole thing was a "bunch of bull* BaxterSlade and I discussed the possibility of going down to the Police Station since Alejandro probably didn't have any money and he "might" go to jail for what happened. But, I was concerned that if we went to the Police Station, the policia might try to get money from us and possibly take everything we had. I said that maybe we should take most of our money to our rooms and go down there with no more than $50 cash. But at this point we finished eating and Alejandro called again, but the connection was bad and I could barely hear him. After eating, Baxter and I began walking back down Avenida Revolucion towards the Zona to discuss what the plan would be. We decided to go into Caliente Sports book to have a beer and to talk about it some more. 10 or 15 minutes later, my phone rings and it is Alejandro explaining to me that he is "Libre" - a free man. We told him to meet us at Las Chavelas (since he knows where that is located and it is one of his favorite spots) in 20 minutes. When Baxter and I leave Caliente 20 minutes later and go across the street inside LC, we see Alejandro right back where he started from. He is sitting in a booth, drinking beers and is with a girl who has a ficha. I am not sure how she got the ficha since he explained to us that he was basically "broke".

As for #4: It was PRICELESS. You had to be there. The humor element to the story is "not" the fact that we wanted Alejandro to suffer (and that we were taking joy in that), but that we knew he felt down in the dumps, but was having a great time simultaneously. It was child-like really. And, what is most important (and what keeps the story on an even kiel) is the fact the WE knew and Alejandro knew that his Amigos were by his side the entire time.

No. We remain calm - maintain contact and tell him to keep calling my cell phone when he gets any news or updates. Everything works itself out. And it did.The "Amigo" thing to do would have been to grab a taxi and follow Alejandro to wherever he was being transported. My goodness, you two were standing on the corner of 3rd and Revolution. The only issue would have been if it took you only two seconds or if you had to struggle 10 seconds in order to hail a taxi.
I've been reading these Tijuana hooker boards since 2004, through numerous mayor regimes, some with what seemed like the entire Tijuana policia force pulling crap on tourists. When the Tijuana policia put you in their vehicles. ,. You are going to one of two places: Directly to the policia station, or to some lightly traveled area where the cops will stop the car and put the squeeze on you. My guess is that Alejandro got squeezed.
If you hopped in any cab & followed the transport, Alejandro might have been able to keep his $200 to himself.
Since you believed that he might not have any money on him, following him to the policia station was the clearly more responsible thing to do. People in policia custody can get separated from their cellphones, especially those who don't seem to have all their wits about them.
As for the "changed" story, ot was never changed. We just cannot write novels here. The "ficha" was there with the girl and I did not know how he paid for it. The next thing I knew was that the mesero inside Las Chavelas turned to me to mention that the drink had not been paid for. That made sense since Alejandro probably mentioned that his friends (Amigos) were on the way to LC. It appears that Alejandro had just arrived at Las Chavelas 5 or 10 minutes before we got there.
I knew that my bold comments would result in a changed story. You didn't disappoint me. Your defensive comments basically bring up information not contained in the original, lengthy report. But I was commenting on what was in the original report, which is quite different:.

The lengthy posts by Caprese7 about the events in Tijuana with Alejandro and Baxter are nothing more than rookies and lots of beer mixing together and hence mistakes been made. We all have made mistakes when we were newbees and shit happens. What surprised me was that Caprese7 had stated that Alejandro had been to Tijuana before a few times by himself but his actions prove different unless he behaves like that all the time. There is no way I can drink 20-30 beers. I will be dead. I had a friend who used to drink endlessly and when we went out together, there was no rounds between us. He would drink 3 beers to my one in the same time. You play with matches, you will get burned. I think that Alejandro was just taken down for a shakedown, not the Policia station which is around Constitution and I think 8th street. Alejandro reminds me of my neighbor. Newly divorced, he's never been mongering and not street smart. He wants to come with me to my next latin American adventure (Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica) but I know for sure that the first WG will sense he is a newbee and will empty his pockets the first night. You can only babysit someone for so long before your trip is ruined too.
More important, did any of you get laid or was just booze? The tall slim girl that Caprese7 liked in La Gloria bar, was she a slightly darker brown skin? She is hot. I had a great time with her last time I was there but I had already had my share of sex for the night and hoped she'll be there next night but she was not.
Wow. This has been a thrilling story, that's for sure. I will say that I am continually amazed by never ending stream of gringos who check their civility, common sense, hell any sense, whatever, at the border. Mexico, in their minds, is the Wild West where anything goes and rules are for Mexicans.
If you sat down to make a list of actions, short of violent crime, that were practically guaranteed to get you cross-wise with the police, touching / grabbing / groping / molesting a strange woman (with a young daughter, no less) on a public street has got to be in the top 5. Maybe the top 2. Staggering drunk in public would rank pretty high, too. Getting stroppy with the cops? Oh, yeah, that's high on the list, too. I'm pretty sure the arresting officers couldn't believe their luck. I suspect he was lucky to have gotten away with a $200 "fine," especially drunk and alone and left to the tender mercies of Tijuana's Finest.
A note to any noobs reading this: a lot of ATM cards will NOT work in Mexico unless you contact the bank, either before going or once you arrive. I have personal experience with this. Trying several banks, nothing working. Realizing that I hadn't contacted the bank. You call the number on the back, play 20 questions, and then you can use your card. I'm sure that's what happened to Alejandro when he couldn't get the ATM to work.
At LifeisaBeach: Not sure what angle you are taking here, but it seems like calling us "Rookies" at the beginning is a bit harsh. The "lengthy" reports are for those who enjoy the details of a trip. I have probably been to Tijuana 12 to 15 times, but I live quite a ways away (6+ hours). If that makes me a rookie, then so be it (but not sure that is entirely accurate either). I have never, ever had any trouble on my visits, and BaxterSlade will certainly attest to the fact that I can throw back 20-30 beers in a night. It's not a contest, but if that number is being challenged, trust me.....game on. As for Alejandro, I had never been with him to Tijuana before, but I would certainly go again. As a matter of fact, we have plans to go next month sometime. He drank quite a bit because he does have some personal things going on back home and this trip was a supposed to be a good way to blow off some steam. And all in all, I think he had a fairly good time. Does he typically get thrown in the paddywagon when he goes to TJ? Probaly not. He was perfectly behaved in the bars and other spots we were at. So we blame the faux-pas on the alcohol. Things happen sometimes. Neither Baxter or I are to blame, and I am not here to condemn Alejandro either.
What I find amazing is that some individuals here are throwing out comments that are unwarranted. I have yet to make a comment on this site (and I have read some ridiculous things) that would "lower" and / or "insult" anyone. It's just not how adults interact. Show some class at the very least.
Now, as for getting laid. "or was it just booze" - I usually try to score with 2 or 3 women each visit, but only got with one (1) on this trip. Getting with the girls is about 50% of the reason for my visits indeed, but it doesn't always have to be the main focus if a friend is in trouble. Day 2 and 3 I was mostly focused on Alejandro and making sure he was doing ok. To add, the girls I usually get with were not there this trip. There are about 2 or 3 that I generally look for. Baxter will attest to that as well. As for the girl in La Gloria, yes she was fairly tall (in comparison to the other girls), thin and had somewhat dark skin. I wanted to see her the following night, but she was not at the bar during the time I was inside LG (sounds as if it was similar to your experience). And yes, she was quite "hot" to say the least. My standards are fairly high, and she made the list. She loved to dance, so the night before we were on the dance floor for quite a few songs. It was exhausting, but fun.
So, yes. Alejandro (who has been apologizing everyday I see him since we went) and I will be back and he feels very embarrassed about what happened. Still, this entire thing has gotten a little out of hand, and frankly speaking, it's ridiculous. A guy has too much to drink and gets a little out of line in Tijuana. It happens. A story was posted and that was it. Thus far, I have viewed comments that involve terms such as "Rookies", a recent comment about "Checking our civility and common sense at the border" and words that question what kind of "Amigos" Alejandro was with. In the kindest way possible, all I can say is that these comments are not only inaccurate, but they are far, far out of bounds. It's a trip report. A guy had too much to drink. A guy paid $200 and was set free. His friends were there for him. The guy felt bad about his actions. Story complete.
Anyways LifeisaBeach, although I do feel that your comment was a bit harsh and unnecessary, but I'm gonna to worry about it for about two (2) seconds. I enjoy your posts, and I know that you have enjoyed mine in the past. Thus, I leave you with (albeit not a great one) a photo of the girl that "perhaps" we are both familiar with in LG. It's pretty much neck-down, but it was about the best photo I could gather.....Peace out ~

People in policia custody can get separated from their cellphones, especially those who don't seem to have all their wits about them.Do you really think hailing a cab and folling the transport van around was the correct thing to do. First of all I have been doing the Tijuana thing for over 40 years. So those that want to criticize our actions should think twice.
1. I'm not sure if you have noticed a difference in the police who patrol Revolucion and say the Zona Norte. You can usually tell the differnce due to the color of there uniform. From reading these boards for years you have probably never read many stories of these guys shaking people down as compared to the regular chumps. Yes the crime committed seemed serious and it was not being treated as a shakedown. Take a minute and think like a crooked cop. You have 2 gringos walking with a guy who looks like a local. First thing you do is move the discusson away from the center of town. And now you would start to negotiate how to make this problem go away while you have 2 gringos standing there as you assume they probably have pockets full of money. I'm telling you these tourist police have to be trained much better than the other guys. There was never any attempt of a shakedown.
2 . I think Caprese mentioned it but the police did tell us where he was being taken and to wait about an hour for him to get proccessed and to see the judge. Caprese's fear was if 2 gringos show up to bail there friend out the price might go up. And while the cops who handled the situation seemed to be fair this was a legitimate fear, because the whole system is corrupt. So taking a bit of time to figure a plan of action seemed like a better solution than rushing to the station. Caprese even considered stopping by the room first in order to leave most of our money there which was not a bad idea.
3. I have been through this before with a GF who was involved in a bar fight. So I already knew exactly where he was being taken. In that case I showed up at the station and pretty much the first thing I was asked by the cop who was going to help was how much do you have. As I go to check my pockets he says not in here there are cameras lets go outside. Eventually the person who came along with me to help deal with the situation suggested it is best to wait untill she was transported to the jail on Via Rapido. While that did require waiting several hours, the price for freedom went way down.
The advice of following the police vehicle around and rushing to the station is ridiculous. Whoever says the best advice is not roaming the streets of Tijuana while intoxicated is providing solid advice to the members of this forum.

This is new to me. Never knew you could buy beer buckets for your chicas paying with credit cards.
As far as I know Tijuana bars and hotels are strictly all cash. Even big hotels in La Zona like, Cascada, Coahuila, Leyva ect. Will not accept credit cards, strictly all cash, for whatever reasons. There is a sign at the reception counter that says so. At the bar they don't have the network link to swipe your cards. They have multiple ATMs at the entrance of every bar and hotel for guys to withdraw cash.
How did your friend Elejandro got the $100 charge approved for the bucket. How long, what did you you say, what did you have to do, to get the charge reversed?
How soon will you be able to screw chicas in Las Chevelas, Adelita and HK paying with your credit cards?
As for #3: Yes, a few hours after the incident, a mesera took advantage of Alejandro (not knowing what was going on) and as I returned from the restroom, he was arguing with the waitress about the $100 charge on his credit card for the bucket of drinks that the girl he was with had ordered. He was still intoxicated and was not acting reasonably. Thus, it took time and convincing, but I was able to get the charge reversed. And trust me, that was an undertaking..

My trip to Tijuana has sadly concluded again. Another great time down there and felt like a pro from the wealth of info provided on this forum. Another big thank you to everyone. I'm not sure how much new info I can provide, but nevertheless wanted to share my experience. I arrived on Sunday and getting to the border turned out to be quite a challenge. I waited an hour for the 992 bus and traffic was a nightmare because of some festival / event going on in San Diego. It took around 2 hours to get from the airport to the border. There was actually a bit of a line to enter Mexico presumably due to the holiday. Once in Mexico I took the second cabbie's offer of $5 (down from the first offer of $10) to take me to Cascadas. It took about 30 minutes to get checked into my room because there were so many people taking chicas arriba and only one person working the front desk. I got a single room on the 6th floor and tipped the workers to get an abundant supply of towels, toilet paper, etc for my 4 day stay. The room was clean, bed was fine, and the wifi was much stronger than my previous trip and I never lost connection once.
Once showered and settled in I went to Oxxo to get a bottle of water and bag. I then went to Piri and got a 4 pack of Figaral for the same 56 pesos as indicated on here. I put the pharmacy bag inside the Oxxo bag to avoid any unnecessary confrontation with the police just for precautionary measures. Police presence seemed to be a lot higher than my first trip. I routinely saw police trucks (often loaded with offenders in the back) cruising up and down the alley. I went to Hong Kong and got my VIP coupons printed out and can confirm that VIP members can indeed print out the free drink and 1/2 off dance coupons every 12 hours, which I did throughout my entire trip. The streets were buzzing with locals and turistas Sunday and Monday but then slowed down substantially Tuesday...Nice report Johnny! Sounds like you had a blast. I m coming back to Tijuana in late October. My brother should have his passport by then. My god your report got me itching to get back to Tijuana Hope you can come when me and my bro go. I ll let ya know as far in advance that I can. I still got your # so I ll text ya. Maybe we could catch the same flight out of Chicago. Take care brother. Talk soon.

I am interested in knowing more about this credit card phenomenon in La Zona bars.

Do you really think hailing a cab and following the transport van around was the correct thing to do. Yes, because in many (I think even the majority) of these instances, the transporting policia never make it all the way to the policia station. The shakedown happens during a direct or indirect drive to the policia station and often involves a stop. If that happens, your presence can help a lot, since the Tijuana cop has no business stopping or taking the scenic route to the policia station. But we know many of them do.
If it turned out that his transport took him straight to the station on Cinco de Mayo (or that next street) I would not have rushed into the policia station. In that instance poor Alejandro was definitely going to be processed before any shakedown. Best to then leave him, in that instance, till he worked his way through the system. Besides it seemed like he needed a lot more sobering up, and for that he would have been in exactly the right place.
It would have cost the two of you a $6 to $10 cab drive (maybe each way) and delayed your lunch & Caliente by half an hour. But since many, if not most, of the shakedowns happen on the road, before arriving at any policia station, you often can make a difference. Dirty policia don't like it when two extra set of eyes suddenly descend upon them in the middle of a shakedown.

@ Captain Solo: Not sure if credit cards are actually accepted as I always use pesos or dollars, but when I spoke to the waitress, I asked "how" he paid for all these drinks since he (Alejandro) was arguing with the waitress that he did not want to pay $100 for all those drinks (including fichas). The waitress told me that he paid with his credit card and showed me the transaction on a receipt. I pleaded with her as nicely as possible and after 10 minutes or so, I explained that I was a good customer over the past 2 years and I would like to see my friend "not" taken advantage of. The charge was apparently removed from his card according to Alejandro when he looked at his bank statement a few days later. Additionally, the waitress took the drinks back and told me that she reversed the charge. Again, I did all that I could to protect Alejandro in that situation and too look-out for his well being. Still, we continue to be questioned about whether we are "Amigos" or not to Alejandro. What a dry and worn-out subject that has become.
Mercy - Perhaps my next trip report (which will not be posted based on what I have witnessed here this past week) should read something like this: "We went to Tijuana, drank some beers, one guy got pretty drunk and a little crazy, and then we drove home." How would that possibly create dialogue and serve users and new members to this site? What we SHOULD be doing is supporting one another, and sharing stories which are both fun, and create discussion. Once again, we are adults - so let's live-up to it. Personal attacks are both unwelcome and completely lack class. At this point, why should any of us consider writing a trip report in the future when they are victim of a personal onslaught? I don't see the need for it. And for those who have made the personal attacks, recognize that is a two-way street. So, right now, I am going to leave this one alone. Still, there are limits......

Or, rather. Should we have jumped into the paddy wagon with him? Would that have been the "Amigo" thing to do?
Do you really think hailing a cab and folling the transport van around was the correct thing to do.If the two of you don't want to hear other's opinions. Maybe you should quit directly asking for them.
Other readers in the future might get their buddies taken into custody right in front of them. Stories and comments on this board give readers food for though on what they could or should do. I said what I would do, and explained why.

Posts this trip report generated is a great thing and I'm in total ageement that it brings up an interesting topic of, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? , that will provide information that may some day come in handy for readers of this board.

With all due respect, I'll touch on one of the subjects on the trip that the tres amigos made. A drunken man molesting or groping a mother and her daughter.
I was waiting in a bus line in Buenos Aires, Argentina on one of my trips. Along came a pick pocket and he seized a woman's handbag and ran. The Argentinians in the bus line ran after the pick pocket, grabbed him and beat him so hard. If it was not for the police that came to the rescue of the pickpocket, he would have been dead. Had it been a case of Alejandro molesting or groping a mother and her daughter, then death would have been certain in Argentina. It's not just Argentina but a number of countries where the residents are passionate and they have their cultures. These cultures are to be respected and not abused. It's not a good idea to be walking in family places drunk and not knowing what you are doing. It is not ZN at night. Be respectful of a country's cultures and a lot of fun can be had by being polite.
Unless you are looking for trouble, be polite to families at any time of the day. Mexico is a good place to have fun without annoying the locals. Keep it like that and you'd be welcomed.

Keep it like that and you'd be welcomed.I agree with you this time around 100 % . In all the back and forth exchanges regarding this trip report I think everyone is in agreement that Alejandro's actions were not acceptable in any culture. And as you stated things could have ended much worse. Imagine the girls father being in the vicinity and witnessing the event. Alejandro could have ended up on the sidewalk with a knife stuck in him.
Not to stick up for Alejandro, but clearly what happened was 3 minutes prior he was walking through ault disneyland touching many beautiful woman and his brain did not seem to proccess he was no longer in disneyland.
While my trips to Tijuana are more about hanging out with amigos and having fun with a little sex mixed in. I did learn from this trip it doesn't take much for fun times to take a drastic turn in a matter of seconds. But Alejandro is a great guy and I would not hesitate to make a trip with him again. Just maybe keep a closer eye on things.
And one more thing. With all your travels to great mongering destinations it sounds like life is good. Have you ever considered changing your name to LifeisAFiesta.

With all your travels to great mongering destinations it sounds like life is good. Have you ever considered changing your name to LifeisAFiesta.Outside of Tijuana, my trips are part enjoying the countryside, nature, sites and the mongering is a side benefit if available in certain cities. But I do a lot of research on this board and others to find out about the mongering where I am going and how to go about it. I love women and try to make sure that I get some candy wherever I go. I do not drink much and during the day stick to water or juices. Just be respectful and have fun.

Headed in to Tijuana today from San Ysidro. I know times are tough, but line at money exchange for 19.00 was thru the parking lot. The places that had exchange for around 18.93 were ghost towns.

A little more than a year ago, a monger I know got arrested after Renata gave him a big hug near where she posts at the base of the stairway to Hotel Ceci on Constitution. He thought it was a bogus charge of improper touching since it was Renata that came up to him and gave HIM the hug. Yet the next day he posted pictures on another website that he snapped while inside a Tijuana jail.
Anyone walking around shitfaced drunk touching all the chicas, even paraditas on the sidewalk in LZ, is also asking for trouble.
Heck, just walking around shitfaced has caused some tourists this kind of trouble.

These people are Gringos exchanging dollars for pesos to have a little fun in Tijuana.
For each $ they can get 7 hundredths of a peso extra. So if they are exchanging $200, they get 14 pesos extra for waiting a long time in a long line. Can't even tip a HK chica for a grope with 14 pesos. The grope costs $, which is 19 pesos min.
It appears time is hard and people are desperate. But they still have to go into mexico for their funs.

Not sure if this applies to all drugs, but I tried several places to get some common antibiotics. All of them said "no, you need a prescription. " they mentioned a new law.

For antibiotics, you don't need to go to Mexico, Amazon sells antibiotics which are labeled for fish use but are the same exact pills as human use. Check out fishmox if you need amoxicillin, there are other ones as well but I use fishmox mostly.

Taking them to prevent something is stupid and my result in a super infection if you ever do pick up the offending organism. Use raingear and you won't need to worry (although it is possible to slip).
The key word in this paragraph appears to be, "phenomenon". I am going to explain this even though this word appears to be sarcastic in nature. Once again, not really sure why that is necessary here. When I returned to the table where Alejandro was, I noticed that he was quite upset. I knew that he had very little cash, and he was in a bit of a tussle with the waitress about the transaction that took place. All I know is what I heard from both parties involved. There was a large bucket of beers (including quite a few fichas and and the larger beers for Alejandro. I asked what was going on, and Alejandro stated that he was being charged $80 to $100 on is "Credit Card" (cannot recall the exact amount, but it was in that range) for the bucket. The waitress insisted that he pay for the bucket, but was looking at me to pay since Alejandro had no money. I mentioned to the waitress that I was a pretty good customer over the past 6 or 7 visits and that I spent a fair amount of money there. I asked her to do "me" the favor of returning the beers and not charging his card. She returned to say that the charge was reversed. So, I took this at face value and told Alejandro to check his bank account / statement when he got back home.
Does TJ or the bars within the Zona accept credit cards? I don't know, and frankly I really don't care. I use dollars and pesos on every trip.
So, did he (Alejandro) use a credit card? I don't know. He was quite intoxicated and may have tried to use his credit card, which the server most likely declined. I was 3rd party removed and (similar to the situation which Alejandro and the Policia incident earlier), I was simply trying to diffuse the situation. In the end, he paid nothing and the drinks were returned. Perhaps it was a strategy the server used to try to get the money out of me to pay for Alejandro. I just do not know. Still, intervening in this type of situation is what "Amigos" do for other "Amigos" even when they don't have to. It requires "stepping up" and doing what is right. I would have to imagine the so-called "credit card" phenomenon is resolved now.
Great question. . As far as I know bars in La Zona are strictly cash. Never knew anyone to pay with credit cards in a Zona bar. I'm trying to remember if there is anywhere in this forum where someone mentioned the use of credit cards in a bar in La Zona. I am interested in knowing more about this credit card phenomenon in La Zona bars..
This question was answered about 5 minutes ago. Feel free to read.
I agree. I want to know the details of the transaction..
A breath of fresh air....Finally.
I usually post a trip report, but this one was "under fire" from the word GO. Attacks on two of us were made questioning if we were "Amigos" to Alejando. That question was answered by two (2) of us. I am certainly gal that you enjoyed the trip report (and that's all it was. For entertainment value since a couple of the events were a bit, well. Bizarre). So, you (AnonX69) pose a question that I have been asking myself for over a week - "Why is everyone getting bent out of shape?" The toothbrush part of the story was a riot (just the idea that it was all Alejandro had left.....but the truth was, he still had his friends and we were there for him (financially and as "Amigos"). This could have turned into a fun discussion, but instead the trip report received negative feedback, and hair-splitting concerns. What a joke.
It's ridiculous and quite insulting really. Any negative comments or criticisms from others on this site will be responded to appropriately. I have NEVER attacked or insulted anyone who has posted on this site, but it appears as though those are the rules of the game here. Fine, as I mentioned before, it's a two-way street. Perhaps I should wait to tee-off on someone's trip report. The truth is, we're all gonna be cool - real cool and calm. Due to the lousy and sarcastic comments made, I really have no desire to post another trip report which really defeats the purpose of why we are here. And yes, Alejandro is a friend of mine (a great guy), and has been for quite some time. He looks forward to returning to Tijuana, but this time I will advise him to settle-down a little bit, and to bring a bit more funding for his journey as he really was not too prepared. Still, you are among the minority here as you actually "enjoyed" the report. Very glad to hear it as you took it at face-value and saw the humor in it all. Thanks -
I enjoyed the reading as a good read, don't know why some are getting all bent. Your bud reminds me of Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, I would vote for alejandro..
I think this is where this discussion begins to close-out. Your opinion has been heard, so thank you for that. But it's, how do we say it? It's "old hat". I (we) are not giving "advice" to others about what they should or should not do. That appears to be your function on this site. Please enlighten us and show us to the promised land if you will.
The truth is, your comments have been heard and they have become both tiring and uninteresting. We did (on this trip) what we felt was reasonable, what was smart, while doing our best to maintain our cool and collectiveness. That's probably not the worst strategy in the world when it comes to TJ. In the end, everything worked out as we stayed in touch with Alejandro throughout the series of events that day.
Did we handle it perfectly? Perhaps we did. Perhaps we didn't. You tell us ScatMan. What is key is that there are three (3) of us that remain friends, and none of us regret how things were handled.
Alejandro thanked us both many times on the 2nd day, and again after the trip was over during the drive back home. He was actually in tears saying that he was embarrassed for what happened, and if were not for his friends "being there" for him, he would not have made it through the rest of the trip. I take that as a "thank you", which really wasn't necessary.
So, are we concerned with ScatManDoo's comments? No. Not a single person here requires, nor desires your approval. A report was posted, and it simply shared the events that occurred. That's all there is to it. Comments are welcome, but "insulting" people for doing what they thought was best is another issue all-together. We are dealing with that right here and right now.
Now, let's get to this. You mention that we should quit "directly" asking for opinions. I don't recall asking for your direct opinion anytime recently. I really don't. So, as far as I am concerned, this pointless discussion has now reached its' full potential.
If the two of you don't want to hear other's opinions. Maybe you should quit directly asking for them.
Other readers in the future might get their buddies taken into custody right in front of them. Stories and comments on this board give readers food for though on what they could or should do. I said what I would do, and explained why.
Was my last night in Tijuana and walked around outside behind HK at 1 am. Pickup truck stops and police searched me for no reason, then took my wallet and other goods from my pockets.
Didn't realize it until later but I was missing 40 dollars and 2 generic Viagra pills (only worth 4 usd for 2 pills).
Sucks that the trip ended on a bad note. I was scared shirtless though because they kept thinking my eye drops were drugs. Kept questioning me why I have eye drops. Overall it could of been worse because I had 120 usd in my pocket, I guess 40 plus the Viagra pills are just part of doing business in Tijuana!
Well my to Tijuana has finished, thanks to everyone who gave me advice, break down of my budget over 4 days I did this for future references.
10 viagra pills for 20 dollars.
2 hot HK spinners arriba (one was repeat which I had 2 times before about a year ago).
About 20 hk fisha drinks (I was dumb / drunk).
1 Adelita spinner (Adelita girls are starting to look a lot better than the last time I went in!
4 days of border parking (fuck weekends is 25 dollars).
5 street girls (with a repeat once of Marisol).
Taxis 5 dollars each time but add up as I just didn't feel safe enough to walk around (it's either cops or criminals. Run into either one and you are fuck).
Getting fuck by Tijuana police and magically losing 40 usd and 2 Viagra pills.
Total damage Wallet wise was 880 dollars. Not bad for banging 8 beautiful women over 4 days.

You should have taken your wallet and your cash out and held them in your hands. These policias are thieves, but not robber. They would not forcibly take money from anyone's hands.

Keep up the report / stories, I found it very entertaining. Some folks find it neccessary to rag about minor details. Who cares as long as it isn't blatent BS they should not comment. I'm jealous because I end up coming to Tijuana alone from TX (no wingman or amigo). Having fun is what it is all about. Advise on how to have more fun or save money should always be welcome. My experiance is to "use pesos, get a room at Cascadas, street girls are a better value, avoid all the drug dealers, if stopped by the police grab your wallet and keep it in your hand (cell phone too, if possible), use coupons if you want to save money, everything is few prices are fixed (negotiate), and have fun! Spainsh is a good idea, my vocabulary is about 100 words and I still have fun. My next visit is Dec 12-14. PM me if you're in need of a wingman or just want to say Hi.

Thank You I did read about the adventures of the other boards most famous poster. You lie with dogs you get fleas! You really don't know what you will do untill it happens to you. It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback when you are an annomous person on an annomous board!I was laughing my butt off reading about him finally getting what many others have had to deal with.
Hey folks,
Wanted to share some of my best experiences I've had at Maria Bonitas, across the street from, what is now, Hotel Tijuan. Keep in mind, this place is nothing compared to what it use to be. Before 2008'ish, they had a prior owner (I knew him) who use have a lot of -stock (18-19 yo), larger selection, and were much more attractive. They would frequently hang out at the bar Black Bull next door. The owner email me or text me with new stock. He eventually went to prison. A major reason for the decline message parlors was clubs like Hong-Kong, Adelitas, etc gave the girls a lot more business, and made massage parlors less desirable for guys who want a quick lay, and is usually cheaper. Me personally, I prefer certain message parlors like MB because you get better service (including BBBJ, CIM and even swallow sometimes, had to pay extra in most cases), and more time. I would frequently get almost 2 hours with girls even though I paid for an hour. Also, like most massage parlors, the girls at MB's weren't fucked like they are at clubs so they were usually tighter and didn't act like actresses in porn. I was a frequent customer in 2000's. Made them a lot of money. Heh.
The first girl that comes to mind was Shadow. Yes that was her real name. Till this day, she was my fav girl in Mex and as you read, you'll understand why. When we first met she was 20 yo, 5'1, 130 lbs (little chubby which is fine with me), big tits, light-skin, blond'ish hair, hairy puss, and a beautiful face). She rarely hanged out at MB's but hanged out at BlackBull. We did it at MB's and stayed the night with me a few times at the hotel. I had taken her around 9 times in a period of almost a year, more times than any other girl. She really wanted a serious long-term relationship but I knew I couldn't because I didn't live in Tijuana and just awkward with her profession. I have some regret because I did kinda lead her on that I hinted at a relationship, by taking her shopping, going out to dinner, etc. But because of doing this, she would do a lot extra things for me during sex. In the first couple of sessions with her, she acted little shy, and would frequently comment on my eyes (I have aqua color eyes). In the beginning, I had a hard time sticking my penis in her, very very tight. I'm uncircumcised and have a penis much like Manuel Ferrara, very thick. I had to use a lot of lube to work my way in and she had pain, but she didn't resist. Her snug fit made difficult to move Inn Out. Very good feeling. Later sessions, she opened up, but still very tight, and did a lot of extra stuff for me, at my request. During BBBJ session, I directed her to suck my foreskin for long periods for time. I have a lot of foreskin, even when hard, it fully covers the head. She'd pull on it with her mouth and stick her tongue under the skin. In our sessions, she tried to swallow once but coughed and spit out most of it. She did try to swallow. Later sessions though, it became automatic. Every time I came she swallowed. The last couple of sessions, before I would go to Tijuana, I wouldn't cum for 2 weeks and save it just for her. One time, I told her when I cum during oral creampie, to open her mouth and show it to me. I could tell she wasn't excited about it but she wanted to make me happy. And boy she did. I gave her a copious amount of semen it her mouth and it was completely full. She had a tear coming down her cheek while she was trying to hold it in her mouth. She almost gagged, so I told her to swallow. I heard a loud 'gulp' sound. As I was coming, I could tell she was shocked at the amount coming out. Afterward, she became jokely-mad and slapped my thighs. There was a period where I didn't come to Mex for 5-6 months, and didn't see her again and her phone # changed. So that was that. I was sad but kinda relieved because while she worked there, I couldn't take other girls for sex cause I knew she would be mad and I would feel bad I did. Of course I did screw other girls during that time when she wasn't there.
In 2003, another one of my fav was Layla. 19 yo, 5'2, thin, black hair, fairly dark, small A-bud tits, but very hairy pussy, not even trimmed. Loved it. The hair even extended into her ass crack. You don't see that much in Tijuana. I got her when she was new via the owner and paid extra by going to the hotel overnight, instead of banging her at MB. Probem with MB is the rooms are small and the massage beds suck. Anyway, when we went to the hotel, I wanted to eat the hairy coochie. During DATY, she moaned softly and reacted nicely. She had the look of concern, like many girls do, when she saw my gun. I pay the girls a lot extra if they do well, and do what I ask. She gave BBBJ, with foreskin sucking, as I love. Also did her without a condom. I could tell she was going to be very tight and plus she was a newbie so I'm sure she was clean and I wanted to maximize pleasure. Told her to sit on my penis. Of course when she sat on it, wasn't going in at all. Applied lube and still not much progress. I laid her on her back and put my middle finder in. Was pretty difficult even for that. I knew at that moment I was going to have difficulties getting inside her. And I could tell she had a look of concerned when I opened her legs. I pull her to the edge of the bed to get a good thrusting-position and proceeded to try to push my dick in. I was pushing hard but slow and after a few minutes I could start to feel it sliding in. Of course her face showed pain. As my penis slid inside slowly, I could feel her walls crushing my dick where it felt like some of the blood from my penis was being rushed back into my body. That's how tight it felt. The vise-grip was preventing me from any movement. I told her to relax as I think she was very tensed-up. After some time I made some slide-movement but still very shallow pussy and tight snug-fit. After some strokes I cum'd inside her. Almost a virgin feeling. I took her for a couple more sessions where I got her to swallow after much pleading, negotiating.
2004, Another fav was a girl I discovered by accident, named Anna. When I was at Blackbull, there was a very pretty, short, petite, dark skin girl sitting at the table talking to one of the hookers. She smiled at me a couple of times. She wasn't in uniform so I figured she didn't work there. Girls came in frequently, either with a boyfriend, or just to have fun. But they didn't work there. I've made the mistake before where I confronted a girl, not in uniform, but just had that FuckMeLook and thought may have work there and kinda laughed and said "no sir, I'm not into that'. I felt kinda embarrassed. Anyway, I noticed Anna, which I found her name out later, got up and left. My intuition kicked-in and felt a possibility of a good session slipping away so I went up to the Puta she was talking to and ask her if she worked at MB. She said yes. She just start yesterday but wasn't working today. OMG! I asked her if she was coming back later, she said she wasn't sure. I went outside and saw her walking up the street with another friend and I chased her down. ((I know guys, it sounds desperate. Like a starving lion going after a sheep. Hehe)) . I confronted her and introduced myself and told her she was beautiful. My Spanish is not so good so it helps when they speak pretty good English, which she did. I asked her if she was interested making some extra money on her day off and have a session with me at MB. She began talking with her friend, kinda giggling that she would rejoin her after the session. Yes! Score! So we walked back went into MB and paid the counter. Went upstairs and undressed. She is about 5'0, small frame, be-Cup tits and about 100 lbs. Pretty dark skin. Perfect teeth and smile. She really had a pretty face with eye make up with glitter that looked nice. As I tell other girls, I will compensate her well if she makes me happy. She had a light-hairy trimmed, tiny-closed pussy that looked completely unused. I knew this was going to be great. I gave her good DATY and she moaned and smiled a lot. After much negotiating, pleading and the fact she couldn't resist the offer I gave her, she gave in to do BBBJ. She smiled at me and said it was too big. Sorry! I laid on the the massage bed and she started stroking. Right before she was about to put her mouth on it, she had a little confused look on her face and pulled my foreskin back, which I didn't want. I asked her to suck it while my foreskin covered the head. She obliged and sucked. She wasn't good at it but I directed her and as usual, sucked on my foreskin, pulling, tongue under foreskin, etc. She insisted on me wearing a condom to fuck, I couldn't win on that one. I knew she was going to have super-duper-virgin like-tightness. Put on my condom and I didn't have lotion, damn. She has lotion though so we used that. As expected, initial penetration attempts were futile as her pussy was like a virgin-asshole at first. I kept putting on more lotion until I manged to feel it slide in. She had the best dick-crusher, even better than Laya, I've ever had in Mex. Her pussy was very shallow and really had a hard time getting movement. The squeeze from her walls began to be painful, even for me. Tried to tell her not to be so tense and relax. After a whole I was able to get full penetration and decent movement. Was a good thing I had a session right before her or I would have cum'd quickly as her tightness was crazy. She the tightest girl I managed to get into. The tightest girl I had in Mex was a street hooker, which I have in a previous post. I never made it in. Was impossible.
I'll share more sessions in the future.

Be sure to send a reminder as your trip dates get closer, you seem to have the right attitude and hopefully we can meet up for some Tijuana fun. And with this much notice I would guess Caprese 7 might even be able to make it.
And Kevin where have you been, with the report of 3 cops shot this morning out in the area between Adelitas and Hk it was still business as usual in the Zona. And Baxter is no longer in Mexico after hanging out with your friend who encouarages drinking. Just trying to sober up at the local In & Out before drinving home.
You should have taken your wallet and your cash out and held them in your hands. These policias are thieves, but not robber. They would not forcibly take money from anyone's hands.Funny, someone I met in Hong Kong gave me the same advice? By any chance did we meet on Mexican independence day in HK?

I wasn't in HK on Mexico's Independence day on Thursday, but was there Friday night. Would have been fun to meet you.
Must have been another ISG bro. Anyone who read ISG would know how to deal with policias and not let them steal his cash.
They would rummage through your pockets, allegedly trying to find drugs. The smugglers know they are too macho to search the crotch. If they hang a Kilo of cocaine under their balls, policias would never find it. Hehe.

Didn't see anyone else post about it so this is my experience. Came back on Saturday and got dropped off at the newly finished taxi drop off point back to US. Cuts the old walk by about 1/4th, still a rather long walk. Rickety temp bridge is gone. Now is a very nice covered ramp all the way to US entrance. Great for rainy weather. No speed bumps and ramp up and down to bridge so fairly handicap accessible. Also noticed the Mexican immigration part that you can see below looks to be complete. Desks, X-ray machines, and partitions in place. I saw several Mexican immigration officials walking around. Guess it is only a matter of time before southbound traffic opens up at PedWest.

On this trip it seemed to me that the taxis were asking for more money to take you to places. Seems you have to spend more time negotiating prices. IMHO Uber seems to be catching on a lot in Tijuana, and the taxis are losing a lot of business. (A lot of the girls I hang out with now use Uber and won't get a taxi ever again.) So the easiest thing for them to do is jack up the prices on the "tourist".

It is an iPhone 6, tried resetting and also airplane mode off and on but internet never works.
Yes, with this much notice, I should probably be able to make the trip in December. The 12th thru 14th are not really the "ideal" days for me for two-reasons (work schedule combined with the fact that Mondays and Tuesdays really don't compare to Wednesdays thru Fridays). But, we can chat about it. All good. Very kind words though from Donorita here - refreshing actually.
Donorita, very nice post. Be sure to send a reminder as your trip dates get closer, you seem to have the right attitude and hopefully we can meet up for some Tijuana fun. And with this much notice I would guess Caprese 7 might even be able to make it.
And Kevin where have you been, with the report of 3 cops shot this morning out in the area between Adelitas and Hk it was still business as usual in the Zona. And Baxter is no longer in Mexico after hanging out with your friend who encouarages drinking. Just trying to sober up at the local In & Out before drinving home..

When I personally feel it is to dangerous to be down there I stay away. I have zero control of my cock when there, and can be wandering around early at 5 looking for that early morning nut. So when bullets are flying that is good enough reason to stay away. Like most of us mongers we have times we just do not monger. I hit the wall after seeing where this situation was leading to a year ago. Lets hope it does not go to a level I think it could go. Hard to tell with the zona, even the bad apples do not want to fuck with the flow of money, but some bad apples do not give one fuck and it is time to spill blood that's what they do. I do not know Baxter Slade, but the Baxter I posted is my mutt. I always forget who is who with different handles on different sites. You all be safe as one can be while hitting the zona for the next few weeks. The biggest thing to worry about is the bullets bouncing off the walls in the alley if something goes down. Get in door if you can or get away from the walls. I am sure some of our combat veterans can talk better on that. It is hard to avoid when the peso is so weak, so just be careful out the while in adult Disneyland. It is what it is. See you guys when I do not fell I need to wear a full body bullet proof condom.
My T-Mobile doesn't work in Tijuana, it connects to Movistar but no internet. Anyone know? It is an iPhone 6, tried resetting and also airplane mode off and on but internet never works.I have the T-Mobile North America plan for 55 bucks and I have no problem connecting in Mexico. I just have to restart my phone when I'm in Mexico.
Also on that plan, during the summer I was in Spain and Peru, and I received text stating, "Your T-Mobile plan gives you unlimited data at 2 G speeds, calls at 20 cents / min and free texts. ".
Well worth the money!

In the states, I have used both ATT and Tmobile sims on my Verizon note5. However, you can't get onto their 4 g network and limited to 3 g or hspa (3rd or 4th generation).
Verizon iphones 5 and up are unlocked and global phones, they have more 4 g bandwidths than andriods phones so you should not have a problems using it anywhere in the world. I have found that sometimes it can not detect the local APN automatically and you have to set it manually. Some APN apps can solve this problem. Just search for movistar apn, then set apn for movitar on your phone and use it when in mexico.
oh btw, verizon has a program, for $2 a day you can use your phone in mexico using you data plan and pay no roaming fee. you should get a text from them when you enter mexico, if you accept, you are charged $2 for every 24 use in mexico.

I was watching The Mask of Zorro with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins on Crackles with a 4 K large screen LCD. The film was high-toned reddish, but the image definition was very fine and lively.
The movie was made in 1998. It had a bit of California and Mexico's 18 century history with some cultural life in the period.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was just the sweetest-looking, most ravishing young beauty in this Zorro movie series, worth watching. She looked old, over weight, not very attractive when she did "Traffic" with Michael Douglas.

You can then use a local sim card if your phone is unlocked. Verizon phones have limited bands and check to see what your phone has. Just being unlocked does not matter if the hardware is not on the phone.

Verizon phones have limited bands and check to see what your phone has. Just being unlocked does not matter if the hardware is not on the phone.Many Verizon LTE phones have the hardware, they have the qualcom modem in their samsung galaxy and iphone, but not the software to access the bandwidths because the carrier doesn't want you to use those bandwidths. Lifeisabeach is right, some models have less bandwidths than others. Verizon samsung and apple phones have the most bandwidths compared to other verizon phones. Verizon iphones 5 and up have the exact gsm/lte bandwidths as att or tmobile iphones, and an addition of cdma/lte bandwidths. For me, I needed a phone that can get onto both GSM and cdma networks so I went with verizon. Cdma has the best coverage in countries like the US and China.
With the android phones you MAY have to root the phone and run a custom rom to get rid of the carrier's android versions, this will allow you to access the hardware that is already in the phones. I had to do this years back on my galaxy s3 so i can enable the gsm/lte antennae because verizon disabled it. They only disabled it a year later with a software update. The hardware is there on verizon phones, they just disable it. now they have the antenna for both network enable..
With the iphones from verizon, there is no carrier iOS version, it uses apple's stock iOS, so the hardware is already enable, verizon iphones cover the most bandwidths of any phones on the market and considered a global phone. I have put up a pic of the spec on their latest iphone, you can see model for verizon has the exact bandwidths as the models for att/tmobil with an addition of cdma bandwidths. The verizon iphones uses the qualcom modem, the same in their intl models sold in China and Japan.
If you travel to mexico using a verizon iphone, you may be limited to the coverage of cdma/lte and may have to buy a local gsm sim for 200 peso and top it off. Verizon is phasing out their cdma coverage in mexico and canada, so using verizon cdma sim may have limited coverage.
on a side note. you can get onto verizon network on the 4th floor and up at cascadas on the north side of the building.

I have their plan that gives me 4 GB (of data that I can use in the USA or Mexico, plus free texts and calls from / to Mexico. I've used it in Tijuana, Mexicali, Mexico City, Oaxaca and Chiapas with no problems, aside from occasional dead areas. Some places don't have 4 G coverage, but very few had zero data coverage. So, I've been very happy with Verizon's performance in Mexico.

A strip club opened a few years ago in Ensenada, promising erotic entertainment with a huge staff of hot Mexican girls.
I went by last week. The door was nailed shut; looks like the club had been closed for some time.

http://www.latimes.com/world/mexico-americas/la-fg-mexico-tijuana-crime-20161005-snap-story.htmlLike many American reports on foreign issues, the articles are a bit late. The turf war started the minute El Chapo was apprehended which was a while back. I find that Borderland Beat is more current because it seems to be managed by Mexicans where the violence affect every day life instead of impacting only American tourists.
For safety, I used to monitor Borderland and keep my ears open for the level of security in the Zona. From low to high, increase police presence, intense paramilitary police presence, Mexican Army soldiers on patrol, Mexican Marines roadblocks, Mexican Marines patrol at platoon strength (13 Marines at a time).
American news sources tend to be 6 months behind.

Have avoided the Zona for the past few weeks due to increased violence. Have moved my mongering with HK chicas to off site activities with my network of favs (Whats App). Was in town for my weekly visit on Friday, October 7, 2016 (12:00 meet at Ley Market behind Dejavu). Routine, BofA past McDonalds (get cash), Baja-Mex (exchange $$ to Pesos), back on the 5 south to enter Tijuana (I drive in and drive out). WTF, traffic? Something new! Never before! I was slowly moving forward in my vehicle, all vehicles / all lanes entering Tijuana border crossing where being stopped and questioned / vehicle inspections. Motorcycle riders back packs where open / inspected. When it was my turn, I showed the CBP officer my SENTRI card and he did not speak and waved me through! Well, I am still having fun and saving $$ No meseros (fishas / tip Nazis). I miss the HK bar seen. The GFE have elevated to PSE levels. Will the violence escalate? Probably. Be safe amigos / gringos. I still love Mexico.

Once in a while tips would come into CBP office, that a big load of drug cash or automatic weapons will be trying to cross the border at the busiest time of the week, I. E. Friday afternoon after 6 PM.
CBP would schedule extra inspectors, 2 per lane at the camera rows under the canopy, checking all cars before they enter Mexico. Never heard any significant bust with those special efforts. A few years back they did catch a guy carrying close to $1 M cash in a back pack, walking across the border.

In Mexico, cash would follow to reward the police for their fine work, and start a relationship. Let's hope that internal affairs keep everyone honest.

There were reports in the press that US DEA and Mexico's policias were using tips from the Sinaloa Cartel, I. E. El Chapo, to bust the other cartels. Arellano Felix and his brothers of the Tijuana cartel were caught and their operation in Baja was busted that way.
After DEA busted the Tijuana cartel, they turned and focused on the Sinaloa cartel. It's life.

The wood-panel wall behind the chain-link fence goes all the way South to the overhead foot bridge, probably to prevent people from leaving cars to join the pedestrian line.
A few years back, when the pedestrian walk was wide open, I saw a few girls waiting long in a car on US soil near the CBP booth, try to get off the car to the pedestrian line to [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134). They got shit from the prowling CBP agents, got stuffed back into the car, [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) or no [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134), hehe. I suppose human traffickers, when stuck in a lane not manned by corrupt agents, would try to unload their human cargo before hitting the booth.
I will let my wingmen off at the foot bridge while I go on the SENTRI lane. It would be perhaps 5-minute walk to the turnstile gate. Ped East is seriously cramped into a corner. I suppose it will eventually be closed when Ped West is established.
Still open but my understanding is you need ready documents, handicapped or Sentri. If yo have Sentri you can go to the right before the gate and pass the line on the left. I use it all the time and have never had a long wait but this is crossing back between 5 and 7 pm weekdays mostly.
Dates: 12 to 16 October.
Location: Entrance was on Revoluciand and Calle 8.
Cost: $5. 50 or 100 pesos to enter.
Food: Plenty of food available, especially tacos. My favorite food booth was Don Diego; great sandwiches! I also had a different dish at one of the taco places. It was the Especial with chorizo, carne asada, and mushrooms; great chow!
I went on Friday and Saturday night. Friday night was better because it was not as crowded. Also, on Saturday night, some of the booths stopped giving samples of their best tequila, such as Teky Lady.
Personally, I like blanco, so I did my best to try to sample every-damn-blanco sample, and some reposado samples. Over the two nights, that was an easy accomplishment. Plus, I went back and re-sampled my favorite ones on the second night.
For the beer drinkers, there was beer available as well. There was a continuous stage show for those of you that like that stuff. There was also plenty of eye candy; beautiful women all over the expo.
My favorite tequila was the Negro Zafiro in the black bottle; very damn smooth. I bought a bottle and it was only 17 bucks!
If you like tequila, the place is well worth the admission!

Crime Victim Assistance:
The police emergency telephone number is 066, though whether they arrive at all is questionable. Callers can report criminal activity from anywhere in Mexico or USA Interested parties can call 1-866-201-5060 24/7/365 to report any crime-related information to bilingual operators who will forward the report to the proper authorities for action. This hotline was set up by the Baja California Secretary of Public Safety so that anyone wishing to report criminal activity in Mexico can do so anonymously from anywhere in the USA And Puerto Rico. A similar tip line "089" has been available since 2005 in Mexico to make an anonymous tip and enjoys a sizable call volume.

There will be no gringo ban because Tijuana and Mexico needs the tourism. As for the criminals that are deported. This will be something that all of us will will have to keep up our guard until more is known.

Trump waned to build a hotel in Mexico, but smart Mexican officials would have nothing to do with this Asshole. It will be a cold day in HELL if Trump ever wins, and a Wall too!Ok I got one for you The Mexican Governent scamed many US retirees who purchased homes in Ensenada by kicking them out and reposesing all their homes and the people lost all their life savings. I drive often down to Ensenada everywhere you look are desolated buildings that no one wants to deal with Mexico corruption you can't trust their government.
Hillary just wants the minority votes but she won't do shit after elected just like Obama all big talk.
I'm against the wall but I'm all in favor of immigration control you go ask the Mexicans Gov to let in 10 millions illegal guatemalans and Haitians into Mexico and see what they say LOL!
See how now yo need to show passport coming to Tijuana they do a good job watching who's coming in why we shouldn't do the same?

What has been your experience HT?

You mean showing passport to go into Mexico why? It's a border town it makes no sense. That new stupid building is a waste of time.

What has been your experience HT?Maybe Crossing to Mexico Is easier because no one from the US wants to jump illegaly or take drugs into Mexico don't you think? Just look the line going into the US and it's not hard to know why duh.
My experience going to Tijuana now Has been different since they got the new building for me now going to Tijuana is a pain in the ass returning home was always the same but now it's twice the pain both ways.
Before going into Tijuana by foot it was a breeze I just walked thru the metal spin gate (west side) and cross the street grab a vitamin C and a cab and done I was in the zona in no time.
Now is a long walk to the new building and after you walked into the creepy room to your left down the stairs you wait in line to see if you get the green or red light. They will check you out ask you stupid questions and then I have to walk another 1/2 mile to get a cab.

When I cross as a pedestrian, the officials in charge of allowing me to enter the United States are giving me a far greater inspection and interrogation (when compared to crossing the other way on foot).
And when I am in a car, over 95% of the time my vehicle is allowed into Mexico with absolutely no screening. Just green lights. That's not at all how it is like driving into the States.
I couldn't disagree more with what you wrote. Why do you think Mexican border agents do a better job of watching who is crossing?
OK I am all for that. Passports. AND yes those who bought property on LAND in Mexico are foolish, because only Mexican citizens can own land!
That's right you can't own land in Mexico if you're not Mexican I believe is 60 miles from the coast and 50 miles from the border. You mean showing passport to go into Mexico why? It's a border town it makes no sense. That new stupid building is a waste of time.Foreigners can own land in Mexico. They are restricted from owning land within 50 miles of the border and something like 30 miles from the coast. But they can, indeed, own land anywhere else. The government did not confiscate land from retirees near Ensenada. I remember when that happened. These retirees apparently didn't do their due diligence (like hiring a local lawyer, real estate agent, etc.) and bought land (technically, leased the land) from an unscrupulous "developer" who didn't actually own the land. When the rightful owner asserted his rights, the government had to kick the retirees off the land that they had no rights to in the first place. It really sucked, but the same thing would happen here if some guy sold me the Golden Gate Bridge and I built a house on it.
The Mexican House passed a law in 2013 allowing foreign residential ownership of land in the restricted zone, but AFAIK it has stalled in the Senate and has gone nowhere.

I talked to the locals I've been going to Ensenada since 1995. What really happen was in Punta Banda more exact in Estero Beach la arenosa the land was sold illegally to the Americans by the ejido cantur this was known by local officials but they continued with the sales. The retirees didn't know the land belonged to other owners.
Even the owners knew the Americans were building their homes but the original owners waited until the homes were finish to file a lawsuit. Most home owners were retirees from OC. You can lease the land by the coast but you cannot buy it. Who the hell wants to live inside the desert. Most people will like to live by the ocean.
Sorry but that was a dumb comparison buying the Golden Gate with a piece of sand dume in baja LOL.
Went to Tijuana, had some tacos, cervezas, women and walked around. We stayed 3 nights and then left. Exciting trip report? That one was designed for the armchair quarterbacks who nitpicked my (our) entire last trip report. We hope you approve of this one. For those who want the real trip report, stay tuned.
Considering that the last trip report was a love-hate relationship for many, here comes the next one. Additionally, Alejandro did not make this trip with us, but plans to make it the next time most likely. Made the drive down into the So-Cal area and met Baxter as we carpooled down. Prior to getting to the border, we figure that lunch was calling, so Baxter knew of a spot down the road some ways called "Tom's Farm". It was surreal. Not really sure if we were really there or not, but I believe we were. Who knew that this place existed? There were ponds, carp, still horses, clowns, gypsies, corn-on-the-COB stands, a cheese and wine shop, a train track and so many more goodies. Fortunately, we had the ripped-up menu in the car that Baxter provided and we called our order in-advance. As we waited in line, the woman in front of me asked, "How large is the 9-inch pizza? That took the cake. We got our food, and left this alter-dimension, and tried to make our way back to a Euclidean space perspective. As we headed down the 15 FWY, we reached the border. We parked in the usual spot, and saw that the exchange rate was in the 18.5 range. Baxter went to one window and I went to another. I had my pillow (Cascadas pillows are horrendous) along with my black toiletry bag and my duffle bag with clothes as we made our way to the Mexico entrance. As we entered, Baxter went right through since he had the 180-day pass, but I had to wait in the line, which by 3:30 pm was about 15 people deep. It took me about 15 minutes or so to get through with my passport stamped etc. As we exited and grabbed a taxi-libre to the Zona, we asked if there was a convention in town, and it was relayed to us that there was a dental convention. So, Baxter and I took it upon ourselves to consider ourselves dentists for the purposes of the trip. As we arrived at Cascadas, the taxi actually dropped us off close to the Tropical since we wanted to enter on the back-side of the main Cascadas entrance. Cannot recall why. As we checked-in, we discussed the 50% off coupons which I printed at a Kinko's earlier in the day allowing us a bucket of beer at Las Chavelas and / or 50% off the room price. We went and got the required signatures (con un $1 propina) and went back to the hotel. As our buckets of beer were being held for us at LC, we got to our rooms and washed-up a bit before heading back to LC. Here is where the story of the Bolsa Negra begins.
My black bag that I had with me (toiletries with all my colognes, toothpaste, shaving kit, toothbrush, comb, hair spray and gel, etc.) was gone. I unpacked my duffle bag and put my other stuff in the safe, but once I tried to find my bolsa negra (black bag) it was nowhere to be found. So, I called the front desk, and they said they did not have it. I checked Baxter's room to see if he accidentally had it and he said that he did not see it. Did I leave it in the taxi? The driver's name was "Caesar" - I do recall that as well as it being a Taxi Libre. Then, I went down to the front desk and asked if they had the bag from when we stored the bags there prior to "formally" checking-in as we went to get our firmas (signatures) for the 50% off coupons at LC. The front desk agent said that he did not see my black bag behind the counter, so I naturally asked him if it might magically appear if I was to offer him $10 or 200 pesos (somewhat equivalent). He still said that he did not see the bag and did not recall me storing it there behind the desk. So, at this point, I believed him. Now what was I to do? I asked the front desk person if he knew the phone number to Taxi Libre so I could contact the company and, at the very least, give the name of the driver. I was informed that the "Amarillo" taxis have a company phone, but the Taxi Libres operate independently. Was this the truth? I took it at face value and proceeded with what I had to do. I had to get this stuff (bathroom and hair supplies), so I left the hotel (Cascadas), got into a cab outside and asked the driver to take me somewhere where I could buy all the things that were in my bolsa negra. He took me to some mercado next to Giussepe's and dropped me off about 100 feet away from the side entrance due to construction. As I entered the store, I saw that they did seem to have quite a selection, but was not sure if I would even recognize any of the items. So, not knowing where anything was, or which products were best, I offered $5 to a lady who worked in the store if she would "go shopping" with me and help me get the items I needed. She graciously agreed and asked why I was in Tijuana. I explained that my friend and I were here for the dental convention and we had early presentations and procedures the following morning, so I had to look the part and get these toiletries ASAP. As she and I walked around the store and got a few items here and a few items there, I finally went to check out (no A / see in the store) and felt tired, a little upset, and very thirsty. There was only one item I could not find, and that was cologne. So, I was told to go up the street, make a right, go up another street and make another right. I think. I was told that a store called "Pax" or "Tax" sold colognes as the two (2) colognes I brought with me. Nice ones at that, were long gone. As I left the store, I thanked the woman who assisted me, paid about $16 for all my stuff and went on my way to Pax / Tax. Not knowing where this store was, I saw a cab driver named Hector on the street who told me where the store "Tax" as he stated was located. I said to him: "I will make you a deal. I am having a long day and a rough time since my bag is now missing. Can you take me to "Tax", come inside and help me find a quality cologne (they were all Mexican / off-brands as well as Jordache. Ahem* then take me back to my hotel at Cascadas for one price? We agreed on $7 and that was that. As we entered into "Tax", Hector gladly walked with me and he flagged-down one of the employees there. Hector asked her to recommend a cologne that the "ladies" would be attracted to, so she called over a few of her female co-workers who were all pretty decent-looking. Now, we had myself, Hector, and four girls around the age of 23 all trying to find a cologne. Each girl spritzed their choice onto my wrist and I took a whiff of each. One was fruity, the other was kinda brut, the other was mild and I cannot recall the last one, but it was just horrific. Finally, one of the girls pointed to a cologne in a blue box that she said she really liked. It was called "Classic Pour Homme Blue" and it was about 210 pesos or $13 roughly. So, I just bought it and we went back to the taxi and Hector drove me back to Cascadas. I thanked Hector, was happy to be back, and immediately went to my room to change clothes, take a shower and use all the toiletries I bought. There were two (2) main issues however: #1.) The razors I bought cut my face into thirds. They were just a joke. I tossed them out immediately upon arriving back home. #2.) Baxter and I both tried on the cologne and it gave us a both a migraine headache that lasted for hours. It was just a horrible cologne. Just brutal.
Once changed and upon leaving the room, I met Baxter at LC, and we enjoyed the company of a few of the women there who asked why we were in town. We mentioned that we were dental surgeons and that we were in town for the convention. This allowed us to, well. Examine their mouths inside the bar. A free check-up was what we offered, and many of them obliged. We ran into a girl that Alejandro was quite amorous about during the last trip and she posed for us a bit (refer to photo below). She also received a free mouth exam as well. We wrote some basic information on a napkin including a tic-tac-toe game, the teeth as properly numbered by dentists, and what a happy-tooth and a sad tooth with a cavity looked like (photo below). We had circled the front tooth #9 as being the tooth we were concerned with, and as a gesture of "thanks", the bargirl at LC agreed to give us a pose (again, the same photo below). As the games were played and the drinking went on, we decided to make our way to La Gloria bar around 9 pm or so.
At La Gloria bar is where things really got interesting during the trip. Albeit, this trip wasn't as exciting as the prior visit, but it had its' moments. Baxter found a girl rather quickly and although she was friendly and somewhat attractive, I could tell that she really was not his type. A few other girls approached us, but I had a firm and steady plan for this visit. My goal was to find a single girl in the bar that I was going to be with the rest of the trip. So, I kept looking around (shook off a few approachers) stating to the meseros and other girls that I need an hour or two to find her. Eventually, I made eye contact with a girl who was sitting to my right with two (2) of her friends. She was well-aware of what I was doing (telling all the others that I just wanted to be alone), and she and I began playing games with our eyes. She knew at this point that she had my full attention. So, I asked the mesero to bring her a ficha, and without telling her, to bring another 15 minutes later. After 45 minutes of this, she had 3 fichas from me and was likely getting confused. Eventually, come 11:30 pm or 12:00 am, I asked the mesero to bring her over, and he obliged. She seemed quite shy and quite young actually. She claimed she was only 22 and worked in the bar for just a few months. Perhaps they all say that. And it may or may not (probably not) be even remotely close to the truth. It didn't matter. We were dentists and we were in fantasyland. Baxter found another girl for a while, but not sure she was his type either. I began dancing with my chica for 2 songs at a time, and then sat down at the booth for 6 or 7 songs. She was kissing me off and on, and she was an excellent dancer. The problem was, she did not speak a lick of English. Not even "Hello, So, that was very challenging to say the least. But par for the course with many of these girls. This went on for 5 hours or so at which point Baxter had already left and come back twice. As I told her goodbye for the evening, I asked what time she was off and she said 5:30 pm. At this point, I was extremely tired and told her that I would be back the next night around 9 or 10 pm to see her. I told the mesero that I wanted the same table and since they know me fairly well there, it was not an issue. Here's the intriguing part. As we left the bar, it was SG time. As Baxter and I began to walk along the side of La Gloria bar and back towards Cascadas, we saw a girl in white shorts standing next to a street-food vendor. She was fairly attractive, but had some kinda red marks on her face. Birthmarks? Scars? We could not tell, but she was friendly and fairly sexy. As Baxter and I are both considering this girl (the pick of the litter was fairly thin at this 5:15 am hour), I see a girl tap me on my back and I turn around. She looked somewhat familiar, but was dressed in very casual clothes with a hoodie top on. She asked if I was having a good night and I said yes. But where did I know her from? Then, I realized that this was the same girl (night and day appearance wise, but still attractive) that I had spent the past 5 hours with at LG (probably bought her $80 to $100 worth of fichas and it didn't really phase me since money was nowhere near an object on this visit). I asked her if she was getting a taxi, and she said that she was going to walk up Constitucion (terribly dark and dangerous at this hour I am sure we all know) to some red mini-vans (sorta-like taxis) about 5 blocks away. Fearing for her safety (and mine as well I guess), I offered to walk with her, and she took my hand and we left. At this point, Baxter said that he was going to Azul to get some food and he would meet me there when I returned. So, she and I walked, walked and kept walking. But in a very strange way, it was somewhat sweet and romantic for a dark street in Tijuana at 5:30 am in a crime-ridden neighborhood with all the losers out and about. Really, it was. As we arrived at her red-vans / taxis, I asked her if she knew if there were any taxis nearby. She helped me wave one down, and as the taxi driver pulled-up and opened my door, the girl took my hand and pulled me towards her very slowly. She said she had a nice time and wanted to see me the next day if I could come by. She gave me a very nice kiss and waved at me as I left in the Taxi.
Arriving at Azul 5 minutes or less later, Baxter was halfway done with his rib-eye and I ordered some rice and beans with a coke. We paid the bill, admired the Azul girls (a post I made on another site which was well appreciated) and as we exited, Baxter found a nice girl in the area and took her to the room. After my long day, I did the same, less the girl. We would wake up the following morning around 11:30 am and meet on the balcony for check-out and onto Hotel Ticuan for the following night. Part II is forthcoming. Stay tuned.

According to this article, foreigners can buy land in Mexico, but within 64 miles of an international border or 32 miles of a coastline, the titles have to be held by banks in fidelcomiso, with all use and transfer rights for buyers, renewable every 50 years. But I don't know what the renewable terms are, or how much I can trust Mexico's federal government or any Mexico's banks.
Without owning the land outright, it's risky for investors to sink hundreds of million in buildings and structures that may have be be removed after 50 years. This law would severely restrict foreign investment in property in coastal areas. In 1960's, special resort hotel investment deals were made in Cancun. I believe Mexico granted land use rights and foreign investors paid for construction, each owns half of the equity.
Trump's organization had a condo development South of Playa which went bankrupt in 2009, burning 275 depositors out of about $40 M.
http://www.theyucatantimes.com/2015/01/a-guide-for-foreigners-seeking-to-buy-property-in-mexico/
"The Mexican Constitution had previously banned foreign nationals from owning property within the restricted border zones. This was intended to protect Mexican soil from foreign invasion. The Foreign Investment Law of 1973 was a constitutional amendment which changed this allowing foreigners to now purchase real estate free outright except inside the "restricted zone'; consisting of all lands within 100 km (64 miles) from an international border and 50 km (32 miles) from the coastline at high tide. For properties within this zone, foreigners need to use a bank trust called a fideicomiso. All real estate transactions involving these trusts are governed by federal law. Merida and all coastal properties fall into the restricted category. Outside the zone, you can own property with a title issued in your name.
The fideicomiso is a bank trust in which the bank acts as a trustee by holding the trust deed for the purchaser who is the beneficiary of the trust. The fideicomiso is authorized by the Mexican government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The bank is the legal owner of the real estate, but the beneficiary retains all legal rights of ownership and as a result may sell, rent, and bequeath the fideicomiso or property to whomever they choose or their heirs. "
Ok I got one for you The Mexican Governent scamed many US retirees who purchased homes in Ensenada by kicking them out and reposesing all their homes and the people lost all their life savings. I drive often down to Ensenada everywhere you look are desolated buildings that no one wants to deal with Mexico corruption you can't trust their government.
Hillary just wants the minority votes but she won't do shit after elected just like Obama all big talk.
I'm against the wall but I'm all in favor of immigration control you go ask the Mexicans Gov to let in 10 millions illegal guatemalans and Haitians into Mexico and see what they say LOL!
See how now yo need to show passport coming to Tijuana they do a good job watching who's coming in why we shouldn't do the same?

About 3 weeks ago I was sitting in the bar and I was just calm just relaxing and for whatever uknown reason a huge cramp across my back between blade shoulders I just couldn't move for a few minutes my neck was stiff Other than the deep muscle pain I was fine.
Anyway my day was ruined by this enormous muscle pull in my upper back no more girls for me I walked out of the bar walking stiff like a momie I couldn't move my neck and my back hurts really bad so I started sweatting because of the pain I grabbed 2 tylenol and 2 advil together and I decided it was better for me to leave Tijuana so I took a cab to the sentry.
The line wasn't bad .People were looking at me like if I was high on something LOL.
Anyway I made it to the car but the pain was still there I rested for 2 hours and took 2 more advils then I drove back to LA without moving my upper body at all. It took 24 hours for the muscle cramp pain to settle completely wtf?
Like I said before it ruined my short Tijuana trip After only 2 hours after arriving in the zona I was going back home. Did anyone have a similar problem and where can you find a clean medical clinic in the zona that I can just pay to get a cortisone shot ?

All you needed was to cross the street to the Mermaids Medical Group.
Let the fine medical professionals manipulate your aching muscles away with their highly-trained skills and special techniques.
It's a known medical fact that all tense, stiff, aching muscles can be quickly relieved by the expert use of sucking mouths and wet, throbbing pussies.

Did anyone have a similar problem and where can you find a clean medical clinic in the zona that I can just pay to get a cortisone shot ?I have a bad lower back for years. Sometimes, It just comes and attacks me so bad that I have difficulty straightening and walking. Few years ago, at night I was sitting having some seafood next to the big tacos place. Finished and tried to stand up but could not. I was in so much pain. I tried walking to across the street and hopefully make it to New York club and rest. But I could hardly manage to cross the street and I literally was on my knees across the street at the entrance of the bar. A waitress who was outside, grabbed me and got a stool for me. I told her what the issue was and she talked with some other waiters. They suggested there may be some spine adjusters near the church up the street and they may be able to help. Then her and another waiter almost carried me up the street and found one of the spine adjusters sleeping in a van. They alerted him and then talked to a small store if we could use their back room. They agreed and this man massaged my back and did his adjustments, good enough for me to straighten up. All this while, the two waiters stayed with me. After this was done, I tried giving money to the adjuster, the waiters and the shop owners and none would take it. I had never known these people and there they were helping a stranger. Will not happen in USA. I forced everyone to take the money as no money was sufficient for their help. I made my way back to the hotel as my trip was 'finished'.
From what I found out later, medical care is FREE for everyone, even visitors in Mexico. I suggest that if anyone is having issues, take a cab to the nearest hospital for starters.

No more missionary position for you. Suggest the cow girl for safety reasons. There are a ton of doctors in the tourist / downtown zone a couple of blocks down. Many of the bigger pharmacies will be right next to a physician's office. While medical care is generally free, there is often a long line that can be bypass with cash.
So, let us continue. Baxter and I would wake up the following morning around 11:30 am and would meet on the balcony for check-out. Being the second night, the plan was to head over to Hotel Ticuan which of course has nice rooms, better pillows, better shower pressure and better food. The only problem is the location, but it is still near "Las Pulgas", "Ricardo's", "Caliente" and a nice little park. If you need to get to the Zona, you can walk during the daytime or take a taxi for $4 or so at night. So, day 2 would commence. It's funny really when you are in Tijuana and you only get the chance to visit every few months. It's like you wake up around 11 or 12 and the next thing you know, it is already 5 pm. That's sorta how this day went. We stored our bags (less my bolsa negra) at Cascadas for a bit and went to meet ArtistyP at the Caliente book across the street. For the record, Wendy was present wearing some orange and black thing. Very Halloween. Baxter and I made a few bets, I played a few horses and we chatted for a while and were just waking up. We would then go back to get our bags and our deposit money for the rooms and we walked up to "Caesar's" Ristorante (photos below) for lunch. We each ordered something different. One of us had the lamb, the other had (cannot really remember) and I had the Caesar salad, fries and some coffee. For those who have not been, this place is very nice inside and the service is quite good. Thus, I highly recommend it.
Anyways, we would then say goodbye to ArtistyP after lunch and he said he would meet up with us later. Baxter and I checked into Hotel Ticuan around 3 pm or so and kicked-back in our rooms for a while. Now, the funny thing is that I was on the 5th floor, Baxter was on the sixth floor, but he never heard all the construction and drilling that would go on there over the next 36 hours or so. Anyways, since the hotel was so busy, we had made reservations, but we each had the executive suite for about $5 extra from the basic room (habitacion sencilla). I originally reserved for one night and so did Baxter. We would then get to our rooms, relax for a while and then we planned to try to get back to the 'Zona (Valentina Bar I think) so that we could watch the Dodgers / Cubs playoff game (Game 4 I believe). It was also a Thursday night, so we wanted to go to Valentina's since they also had the NFL game on TV (Packers & Bears). We would watch the first half of the games in our rooms, and then we headed down to the Valentina Bar where Baxter met up with one of his local ladies. We stayed, had a few drinks and watched the rest of the games until about 8:30 pm at which point I had plans to go back to see the girl at La Gloria bar from the night before.
By 9 pm, Baxter and his lady as well as myself were inside La Gloria Bar and had our usual table. I had learned that my favorite waiter was now working the day shift at La Carretta, so that was a bit dissapointing. But, it was not dissapointing that just a couple minutes after sitting down, the cute little brunette from the night before sat right next to me with a big smile and asked how I was doing. So, the four of us were there. Candies were brought, drinks were ordered and games were played. We even danced a bit, but only to about 1 song every hour. I was asking my girl some questions about the night before (Did she have fun? Did she think I was going to show up at 9 pm this evening? Etc. Etc.) I did notice a little tattoo on her leg and on her neck that I did not notice the night before, but I was fairly hammered, so I must have missed it. Still, I usually don't miss those things. Anyways, come 11:30 pm or so, I went to the restroom for the second time. As I went to the restroom, I saw a girl looking up at me who looked somewhat familiar. Now, at this point, I was probably 10 beers in. Not drunk by a landslide, but somewhat buzzed. Moments later, I asked my waiter where I knew her from. He said, "She is the girl you were with last night". Um. What? I asked for a timeout. I actually did. I told the waiter and one of the waitresses (as well as the girl who was next to the bathroom) that I needed about 10 minutes or so to get my head straight. To collect myself. Had I been with the wrong girl the past 2. 5 hours and spending $$$ on her and plenty of it? So, I leave the bar (told Baxter I would return in 15 minutes or so) and walked outside, around the corner and up to the balcony at Cascadas where I sat alone and watched the working girls on the street. The air was cool, my buzz was increasing and I wondered how I would handle this situation upon returning. You know, I could tell that something was "off" when I was with 'The Wrong Girl' earlier that evening. I just didn't put a lot of stock into it. I didn't remember the tattoos, but she was still familiar to me so I rolled with it. What is even more relevant is that fact that 'The Wrong Girl' was a girl I was with on a prior trip even further justifying my confusion and comfort with her. But it was not the girl from the night before. And that is who I wanted to be with. So, I made a firm decision to go back to the bar and ask for the 'Right Girl' to come to my table. And this was precisely what happened as 'The Wrong Girl' stormed away and apparently was quite upset. In a sense, I cannot blame her. But, she was 'The Wrong Girl'. So, as the 'Right Girl' from the night before (who speaks absolutely ZERO English) came by, she gave me a kiss and I ordered her 3 drinks right away as I put my head on the table in embarrassment and shame (a little game really). And she felt bad for me. But, the truth is, I did feel bad. More importantly, I wasted my time and money since 9 pm. Also, 'The Right Girl' had an identifiable mark on her body which I should have remembered from the night before, but I didn't. So, we spent the rest of the night enjoying ourselves immensely drinking, talking, dancing and kissing. It really was fun. Roses started appearing on the table and Baxter couldn't figure out why he was being asked to pay for these roses. That was also good fun. As for 'The Wrong Girl' she (hilariously) went to another customer and kept looking over at me as if to say "See, I can find someone else just as good. " My reply (in my mind) was, "Is this why I am the only person in this joint with 2 servers who also escort me inside, outside and to and from the bathroom? Do you really think that guy is going to spend anywhere in the ballpark of what I will spend on 'The Right Girl' She was with the other guy for about an hour and then he left after buying her about 2 or 3 drinks. A riot. Now, when I visit Tijuana, I don't like to waste my money as I view every dollar as an investment. I come from a world of tipping and where tipping is a sure-fire way to earn respect and attention. So, when I visit Tijuana, I find one girl and spend money on her. And that's how I roll. It is the escape from the norm, the booze, the salsa and merengues, the latinas and all the other things that justify my visiting Tijuana every 6 or 8 weeks. So, 5:15 am comes and Baxter has already left. I am with the girl, but she says she is going to change clothes (similar to the night before), and we agree that I will walk her to her red-taxi bus again down the dark street. I am fine with this, and she asks to meet me on the corner of Coahuilla and Constitucion at 5:30 am. So, I do. She comes right on time, grabs my hand and we begin walking the same route as the night before. As we almost reach our destination (hers), she asks where I am staying. I mention that I am at Hotel Ticuan just up the road a couple blocks. She says that she wanted to go with me to my hotel. NOW, here we go. Does she want money? Is this the old, "come to the room, bang the buy and then ask for a load of cash?" I was not sure, but I held her close to me and said, "It's ok. You don't have to come to my room". I can take you to your taxi and you can just go home and rest. You do look tired. I asked, and she said she was very tired. But, she said she would go to my room for a while (because she had to get back home to take her daughter to school at 8:30 am). So yes, she has a kid. A daughter. I was not surprised in the least. This is expected down there. Anywhere really. So, we head to Ticuan, and as we are in the valet, I hold her near me one final time and say, "Are you sure about this?" She agreed and as she presented her ID to the front desk, we went up to my room. It made me wonder. And Baxter and I discussed this. Can working girls still be women too? And I never looked at her like this the entire time we spent together. But the question absolutely had to be posed.
The keys at Ticuan are hard to figure out, but we eventually got into the room. As we entered, I went right to the restroom to brush my teeth so that she would have time to do whatever she was "planning" on doing. Was this going to be a 2-hour bang and done? I really wasn't looking for that to tell you the truth, but was open to whatever. Still, I felt pretty tired and in a way, I was actually hoping she might just want to lie down and crash for a while. As I come back from the bathroom, she is under my covers and is peeking out looking at me with a smile. It was quite a sight. I turned the A / see down and asked her if she felt comfortable. I opened a couple of waters and poured one into a glass next to her as I massaged her shoulders for a moment and we kissed a bit. Then, I went back to the restroom for a moment (to actually use it.) and when I returned, she was sound asleep. Totally exhausted. I lay there next to her and brusher her hair with my fingers as we held hands under the covers. She was somewhat conscious I imagine. The worst part of this (as we snuggled up to one another) was knowing that her alarm would be going off in 2 hours and she would be leaving. So, here are the facts of what happened: 1) We slept 2) Her alarm went off at 7:45 am and she turned it off 3) She called her mom to ask her to help take her daughter to school 4) She went back to sleep and we held each other until around Noon. At 12-Noon she said that she needed to go home for a while to help her family with some things, but she wanted to come back to my room before her work the next night at 8 pm. So, she said she would come back at 5:30 pm or so. I didn't know if she was coming back, but I got the vibe that she just might. She never asked for any money (even though we didn't do anything, it was still her time and she took a "chance" being with me from her POV). So, I gave her 500 pesos for a round-trip cab fare. She was very happy and she left the room after kissing me goodbye. Would she return? I figured it was 50/50. I went back to sleep (slept terribly) until around 5 pm and then did some work on the laptop until around 5:45 pm. It looked as if she might not be returning, but that was OK. Sorta. The A / see made the room pretty cold, so I decided to wake myself up and warm myself up with a shower. The shower at Hotel Ticuan is far, far superior to the shower at Cascadas. So, as I got out of the shower and brushed my teeth (dentists are very conscious of this by the way.), I wrapped my towel around me and began to choose some clothes to wear. Then, "knock knock". It sounded like Baxter was knocking at the door, because apparently he had been trying to reach me earlier I would later find out. I looked thru the peephole, and it was. 'The Right Girl'. She had returned and we cozied-up for a few minutes. She was wearing jeans and a floral top with sandals. Casual, but cute. I told her that I was happy she came back and she said that she was happy to be there. As we were getting cozy on the bed, I looked at my cell phone and Baxter was asking me if we wanted to meet for dinner at Vittorio's down the street (Italian fare). I texted him that the girl just returned, and after asking her if she wanted to go, I texted Baxter back to tell him we would meet at 7 pm. The girl took a shower (quite a lengthy one actually.) as I did a little work in the office area since I am a dentist and have many X-Rays to examine and procedures to prepare for.
Here was one of the best parts of the trip. When she came out of the bathroom, her hair was long, her lips were CHERRY red and she wore a red dress with little white shoes. She was just gorgeous. She took my hand and asked if I was ready to go. And it was 6:55 pm. Right on time. We arrived for dinner and all ate and were all merry for the next 2 hours.
Now, I asked her if she was working that night, but she still looked tired and said she was not feeling too well still. I wasn't really either. My throat was bothering me a little. Still, the food and the company were very good, and as we all left, the girls spoke with one another as Baxter and I lagged behind for a few minutes. Then, we all arrived back at Hotel Ticuan (9:15 pm or so) and headed to our rooms. This was the last I would see Baxter for the next 15 hours. The girl and I went back to my room and I asked her if she was going into work as this was a work-night for her. She said she just wanted to rest and be with me. And she never asked for a dime. Ok, no sex right? Nope. No sex. We cuddled in bed (after I got us some hot tea with honey downstairs along with some Tiramisu from the restaurant to-go) and she asked me where certain countries were located such as Russia and Japan. So, I showed her a world map on the computer, we used Google Earth and had some fun with that. Then, we watched a YouTube video on how to make sushi in Japan and she really liked that as she had asked about it. Next, we both became very tired and as I shut-off the laptop, she moved towards my chest, lightly scraped her nails on my chest and kissed me every so lightly. She was wearing short yellow shorts (very soft) and her long hair was draped all along the bed comforter. It was both sexy and comfy. A very different Tijuana experience. And these kinds of experiences are ok sometimes. We would wake up the next day and as Baxter and his lady were having breakfast downstairs, he asked what time I would meet him so we could head to the ligna. So, I went downstairs to get some eggs and toast with juice and tea and brought it upstairs for the girl and I to share. We had 20 minutes left until I had to leave for the border (this part sucked. You know. Leaving). We cuddled, kissed and spoke Spanish in the most "loving" way I possibly knew how. I asked how much she wanted for all her company (without making her feel cheap) and she asked for nothing. So, I offered her taxi money and gave her another 500 pesos. As we walked downstairs, she said goodbye to Baxter, and I put her in the taxi amarillo. She gave the driver her destination, and as she kissed me goodbye, I gave the driver 600 pesos to take her home and back to her work later. He agreed, and she was very, very happy and surprised.
Baxter would then show me the "new" exit which I had never seen before: "PED WEST". We reached this area around 12:45 am and it took about 45 minutes at the most to get to the front. By 1:45 pm, we arrived at the car, and the next thing we knew, we were on the 805 North. Heading home. Thus the trip report. The moral of the trip: Tom's Farm is a forgotten entity; The Bolsa Negra has been replaced with Mexican hair and cologne products; We were dentists for 3 days; Be sure you have the 'Right Girl' with you at all times; and on a final note. Some of the best trips there do not always have to be sex-based. There is a lot, and I mean a LOT to be said for being in the company of a woman, especially under the right circumstances. We have made plans to meet again and have been messaging one another since the day I left. She is looking forward to my returning and has already said she will take the time off from work whenever I return. We plan to see the dog races at Caliente (she know I dig that) as well as visit Rosarito Beach. The main concern now however. Do I drive or fly? It's really that simple at this point. Hope you all enjoyed.......

According to this article, foreigners can buy land in Mexico, but within 64 miles of an international border or 32 miles of a coastline, the titles have to be held by banks in fidelcomiso, with all use and transfer rights for buyers, renewable every 50 years. But I don't know what the renewable terms are, or how much I can trust Mexico's federal government or any Mexico's banks.
Without owning the land outright, it's risky for investors to sink hundreds of million in buildings and structures that may have be be removed after 50 years. This law would severely restrict foreign investment in property in coastal areas. In 1960's, special resort hotel investment deals were made in Cancun. I believe Mexico granted land use rights and foreign investors paid for construction, each owns half of the equity.
Trump's organization had a condo development South of Playa which went bankrupt in 2009, burning 275 depositors out of about $40 M.
http://www.theyucatantimes.com/2015/01/a-guide-for-foreigners-seeking-to-buy-property-in-mexico/
"The Mexican Constitution had previously banned foreign nationals from owning property within the restricted border zones. This was intended to protect Mexican soil from foreign invasion. The Foreign Investment Law of 1973 was a constitutional amendment which changed this allowing foreigners to now purchase real estate free outright except inside the "restricted zone'; consisting of all lands within 100 km (64 miles) from an international border and 50 km (32 miles) from the coastline at high tide. For properties within this zone, foreigners need to use a bank trust called a fideicomiso. All real estate transactions involving these trusts are governed by federal law. Merida and all coastal properties fall into the restricted category. Outside the zone, you can own property with a title issued in your name.
The fideicomiso is a bank trust in which the bank acts as a trustee by holding the trust deed for the purchaser who is the beneficiary of the trust. The fideicomiso is authorized by the Mexican government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The bank is the legal owner of the real estate, but the beneficiary retains all legal rights of ownership and as a result may sell, rent, and bequeath the fideicomiso or property to whomever they choose or their heirs. "You are correct I am very aware of the laws on buying property in Mexico. No body cares to live OUTSIDE the restricted zone. The coast is the whole idea of living in Baja. Also I find ironic Mexico worrying about US invasion with the whole immigration mess here in the US.

Tijuana doctors on Calle 3 and 4 would charge $20 to $40 for alleged examinations then prescriptions for highly-addictive synthetic opioid pain killers, Oxycodone and equivalents etc. Available at the farmacias right next door.
Opioids addiction usually lead to Heroin. DEA has as of 2014 started investigations and prosecution of many US doctors and pharmacists who sell prescriptions of pain killers to addicts, the so-called pill mill doctors.
A Chinese female doctor in Rowling Heights got 30-year murder sentence for the death of 3 young guys. Many more cases in CA, TX, FL had similar stiff sentences or are still pending. One of my Anesthesiologists is looking at 40 class-1 felony indictment. His young GF is very beautiful, but he will be going away for decades. An Indian Anethesiologist in El Cajon hook girl patients on heavy dosage of opoids, then demand bare back sex from them. What an asshole! MF will have 20 years in federal prison and be raped up his ass every day I am sure.
The Opioids addiction is the latest, most severe epidemics, leading to Heroin, far worse than Cocaine. Search under pain management medicine, Opoids, pill mill doctors. Be very careful with pain medicines.
I used to lift weights and it's a common to have such pains when we stretch out our shoulders. No more missionary position for you. Suggest the cow girl for safety reasons. There are a ton of doctors in the tourist / downtown zone a couple of blocks down. Many of the bigger pharmacies will be right next to a physician's office. While medical care is generally free, there is often a long line that can be bypass with cash.

I have a bad lower back for years. Sometimes, It just comes and attacks me so bad that I have difficulty straightening and walking. Few years ago, at night I was sitting having some seafood next to the big tacos place. Finished and tried to stand up but could not. I was in so much pain. I tried walking to across the street and hopefully make it to New York club and rest. But I could hardly manage to cross the street and I literally was on my knees across the street at the entrance of the bar. A waitress who was outside, grabbed me and got a stool for me. I told her what the issue was and she talked with some other waiters. They suggested there may be some spine adjusters near the church up the street and they may be able to help. Then her and another waiter almost carried me up the street and found one of the spine adjusters sleeping in a van. They alerted him and then talked to a small store if we could use their back room. They agreed and this man massaged my back and did his adjustments, good enough for me to straighten up. All this while, the two waiters stayed with me. After this was done, I tried giving money to the adjuster, the waiters and the shop owners and none would take it. I had never known these people and there they were helping a stranger. Will not happen in USA. I forced everyone to take the money as no money was sufficient for their help. I made my way back to the hotel as my trip was 'finished'.
From what I found out later, medical care is FREE for everyone, even visitors in Mexico. I suggest that if anyone is having issues, take a cab to the nearest hospital for starters.So you know what I meant and how it can strike anywhere when you less expected.
I am a very physical guy maybe my deep back and chest muscles are sore.
Sounds to me you have sciatica nerve inflamation it's very painful pain in your lower back by the waist line. I had a few of those before not fun at all I couldn't get out of bed and had to take a leak in a bottle because I was like paralized. Sciatica is very common to men or women fat or thin it doesn't matter this pain can strike without warning the only cure if you have it chronic is back surgery. Next time try ice compress take aleve or ibuprofen it does work. Pain Narcotics and cortisone are the best but they are dangerous.
It sucks when you get this back pain flare with a girl.

I suggest that if anyone is having issues, take a cab to the nearest hospital for starters.Medical care in Mexico is most certainly not free, especially if you are not a citizen. If you're not a citizen you WILL be expected to pay, either through insurance or out of pocket. If you show up at a hospital with no money an no way to pay, odds are you are well and truly fucked.
Citizens have other options. If you're an employee of most companies (HK dancers, for instance) you'll be covered by what they call Social Security, aka IMSS. If you're unemployed and indigent you may be covered by Seguro Popular, but I'm not up on all the requirements in order to receive free care. If you have money you can get private insurance and go to private hospitals. But there is little "free" medical coverage in Mexico and certainly not for gringos.

In Sciatica, the nerves, coming out of your spinal column into the muscles, get pinched by bones or muscle tissues. It hurts like. Everyone is susceptible as they grow older and fat. Physical work or regular exercises tend to prevent it.
Best bet is physical therapy with rolling and vibrating machines on your spinal column down to your butt and your legs, wherever the pains are. The vibration loosen up the pinched nerves. The last resort is surgeries to remove the interfering bones or tissues.
I know an Internist in Santa Ana who also has licenses to do chiropractic and acupuncture. He would walk his fingers on my spinal column and tell me which spots were giving me pain. After running through so many doctors and therapists, he was the only guy who got rid of my sciatica pain entirely by physical therapies. The other doctors were recommending steroid injections to locate the pinched spots, then surgeries of the spinal column. I did not want to go that far.
I know a soccer player who was strong like an ox, but had pains across the shoulder blades. He went for surgery on his spinal column. The surgeons made some mistakes. The guy is now a quadriplegic, totally flat in bed, had to be fed, washed and cleaned everyday. It's a sad scene.
The damned doctors all had kick back schemes with each other. I had to pay thousands in copay for exams, therapies, Xrays, MRIs etc. On top of my private health insurance. That anesthesiologist early this year got slapped with 40 felony counts for worker comp kick backs to 2 chiropractors in San Diego. He will go to prison for decades, and he will spill names of the other guys whom he kicked back. Too bad his GF is tall, healthy, sexy and attractive. While he has his long honeymoon with Bubba in prison, his best friends will naturally fuck his girl friend every day, before they too will be indicted and head for prison.

If you have money you can get private insurance and go to private hospitals. But there is little "free" medical coverage in Mexico and certainly not for gringos.Seguro Popular is the national health care plan for the very poor and is free to anyone who cannot pay. Including prescriptions and hospitalization. Seguro Social is a national health care plan that is for those who can afford to pay between $200 and $300 usd a year as a premium. Many employers provide this for their employees. It has more complete and prompt service than Seguro Popular. There is also a health care plan similar to Seguro Social which is for all government workers and is provided free for them. Even foreigners that live in Mexico with a residence visa may sign up for Seguro Social. A gringo resident pay about $300.00 usd once a year for his health care. He sees his family doctor once a month every month, all medicines are provided, lab and x-rays are free and so is hospitalization. Any one who lives in Mexico with a residence visa is required to have a minimum of $2000 a month income from their home country to support themselves. With this income, it is not at all difficult to pay the once a year premium of $300 usd for the Seguro Social. In other words, medical care for foreign residents has a very modest cost. Visitors to Mexico are required to have travel insurance or PAY for their health care if needed while in Mexico. FREE health care is for Mexican citizens who need it.

With the good ones, it is clear and you can see the nerves going out. I am seriously thinking about micro fracture surgery on the bad disks and see how it goes before my Kaiser health care expires. It is out patient and I hope it cures it. I have bottles of 800 MG ibuprofen from Tijuana staked up at home! I have had cortisone shots before but they all seem temporary. I am going for the surgery probably in the next 2-3 months.

Naproxen Its also NSAIDs.I break the 800 into 2 and hence take 400 MG when needed. I also have 600 MG that my doctor in USA has prescribed for me. I try to take as little as possible and tough it out. Will be in Tijuana in a couple of weeks for my dental work but will stay about 4 nights as I have not paid a visit for a while. Had rotor cuff surgery couple of months ago and recovering.

For you guys with bad back pain, your primary care doctor will probably send you to physical therapy. Take that as good advice, it works. The PT will give you a thorough exam and develop a treatment plan. In many cases that will bring you to the PT "gym" about 3 times a week and force you to do specific home exercises. Those exercises will strengthen and stretch your muscles and that is often effective at eliminating back pain. Those home exercises are important. It worked for me and I continue to do the exercises to avoid future back pain. Back pain no longer limits my sexual positions.
The PT treatment takes a lot of your time and energy, but it can often prevent surgery and help you get off the undesirable medications.
So, let us continue. Baxter and I would wake up the following morning around 11:30 am and would meet on the balcony for check-out. Being the second night, the plan was to head over to Hotel Ticuan which of course has nice rooms, better pillows, better shower pressure and better food. The only problem is the location, but it is still near "Las Pulgas", "Ricardo's", "Caliente" and a nice little park. If you need to get to the Zona, you can walk during the daytime or take a taxi for $4 or so at night. So, day 2 would commence. It's funny really when you are in Tijuana and you only get the chance to visit every few months. It's like you wake up around 11 or 12 and the next thing you know, it is already 5 pm. That's sorta how this day went. We stored our bags (less my bolsa negra) at Cascadas for a bit and went to meet ArtistyP at the Caliente book across the street. For the record, Wendy was present wearing some orange and black thing. Very Halloween. Baxter and I made a few bets, I played a few horses and we chatted for a while and were just waking up. We would then go back to get our bags and our deposit money for the rooms and we walked up to "Caesar's" Ristorante (photos below) for lunch. We each ordered something different. One of us had the lamb, the other had (cannot really remember) and I had the Caesar salad, fries and some coffee. For those who have not been, this place is very nice inside and the service is quite good. Thus, I highly recommend it...LOL. Just a little buzzed yet you were unable to recognize a girl you boinked 24 hours earlier. But I have to admit, in the past I was tempted to hire a couple of chicas as tour guides to Baja. What better ways to sight see a country than to be escorted by a hot 20 year old sexy co-ed?

LOL. Just a little buzzed yet you were unable to recognize a girl you boinked 24 hours earlier. But I have to admit, in the past I was tempted to hire a couple of chicas as tour guides to Baja. What better ways to sight see a country than to be escorted by a hot 20 year old sexy co-ed?I too have a history of not recognizing a girl I nailed just 24 hours prior. This happened several years ago with little America in Hong Kong. On the first day she had her hair, makeup, and clothes in a certain way and she looked great. The next day she was dancing right in front of me trying to get my attention. Eventually, she just said "Don't you remember me, I'm America from yesterday?" Everything was different (hair, clothes, makeup) and she looked rather ordinary. Since the prior day's sex was great, I took her upstairs for another round. Though she was as sweet as could be, she just didn't look as good and the sex was not great. Women can be such chameleons.
I wonder if this is the same America who cleaned out the Captain's wingman. At that time there were two Americas, big America and little America. I never spent time with big America, but little America was a true spinner and a sweetheart. Just the kind of girl who could clean your wallet and leave you hurrying to the ATM for more money.

However, it was a very long 2-part trip report and maybe I skipped over that part.

LOL. Just a little buzzed yet you were unable to recognize a girl you boinked 24 hours earlier. Yea it does sound a little strange. I thought it was just me. I sat across from the chica for 5 hours. Then with her hair and clothes changed and seeing her in a different setting (on the street) There is no way I even thought for a second it was the same girl.
But then there was a girl I had been seeing for a couple years and she would change something and I was not even sure it was the same girl. But after about the 3rd year I no longer had that problem. Buzzed or not it should be much easier to recognize someone you have been sitting with for hours talking, than rolling around with for 30 minutes in a dark room. So go figure.

It was the little America who cleaned out my wingman's assets. The guy is so broke, he could not afford to drive down to Tijuana with me, even when I promised to buy him drinks.
She started stripping in HK but would not take her bras off on account of her tiny boobs, and would not fuck for a long time. After she had her baby and her BF ran away, she came back to HK, wearing her all-black frilly dress and made up her hair in a big bundle, then added loads of black, shiny, curly extensions, she looked like Elvira in the Munsters. She hit on me for $100 session, but I told her "forgitaboutit. ".
She's not attractive with her phony, manipulative personality, below average face, tiny boobs, short chop stick legs. I just don't understand why guys would spend money on her.

We are very lucky he did not report the details every time he wiped his ass in Tijuana.

My second session with little America was quite long because I was having problems finishing (hot room, 2nd or 3rd pop of the day, she didn't look as sexy as the prior day). But she remained sweet and supportave for the entire session.
When did she have a baby? I never recognized her again after that one trip some years ago. Even from one day to the next, her appearance changed through hair, clothes, and makeup. I can only imagine what 2 years and a baby could do to her.
Little America remains a positive memory to me. But then again, I probably saw her before she had a baby and I always control my finances.

Walmart pays only minimum wages and does not hand out free orgasms to the girls every half hour!
The legal brothels outside Las Vegas have dozens of old, fat, lumpy women. They hardly bring in any clients, yet the few better looking ones show menus of min $300 for a CBJ, up to $3,000 for straight sex with 2 women. Yikes! These women have to pay high rents for their rooms and board and split the fuck money with the house. They all look hungry and desperate being exploited in a losers' business.
Meanwhile lots of sexy, good-looking girls, in their tasteful clothes, mingle in the hotel casinos, proposing sex right there in the hotels for $200.
Only the lowliest losers go to Nevada's legal brothels.

https://youtu.be/njODyDntfLsOnly for the sh*t and giggles of it, and to cross off my bucket list, almost 17 years ago while working in Las Vegas I spent a day and headed out to the Ranch and one other legal Nevada brothel. It was an experience, hard line negotiations between you and your chosen lady of what services and cost, I recall she started at $400, for a BJ and sex was quoted at like $700, after 4-5 minutes of hard negotiations I recall we settled in at $200. For a CBJ, yes you heard it right and this was back in 1998 or 1999.
Just chalked it up to an experience, but obviously never to repeat.

I can't believe this guy dated Linda Ronstadt in her prime what a waste. Also you have all these old skank married women in Sacramento that don't want their husbands to go out to get fresh younger pussy so they always looking to introduce new sex laws and Brown signs everything. If you want a change and you love freedom you must vote Republican. Trump likes sex and good taste in women the guy is a genious.

Our genius Commander-in-Chief already has a plan for his entire cabinet to work overtime to trade the 25 sunshine states for millions of hot, wet, sexy pussies from Russia and Eastern Europe.

TTM.Nevada brothels are totally unlike Tijuana. I visited Nevada places several times before I discovered the availability of nice stuff at reasonable prices in Tijuana. Starting asking prices of $500 and higher were common. Typically I settled on $200 for half and half, perhaps a 30 minute session. My last visit was in about 2010. Those places simply aren't worth the money.

I want to go to Tijuana this week but I'm not sure if the return would be slower because of elections coming soon. I heard in the news about lots of people trying to cross Illegally before the elections. Should I wait after Nov 8 elections or all of these talk around in radio talk is bullshit. I just don't want to get stuck in the walk ped for 5 hours.

Driving from Valencia LA about 3 1/2 hours to Tijuana.
Does the parking on the west side by salida de la plaza still charging $20 from Fri- Sun?
I'm staying overnight last time I was told by the parking attendant that I need to return before 9 am on Friday or I must pay $20.

As the chance increases thst Trump will be elected the peso loses value.
Meet up tomorrow.we can discuss your old Adelita gf's and where have all the U. S.. Sw's gone.
I've seen that guy do a full interview with some other reporter years ago. IMO, the prices were severely high, and the number of girls were extremely low. I think I counted 7-8 girls working. And pricing was between $200-1000. I recalled thinking that if I was there, I'd drive back to Vegas and stuff myself with food instead.

Valencia to Tijuana in 3.5 hours is more like with a Lear jet.
Don't know what time you will be driving, but the best scenario outside of rush hours is, Valencia to LAX in 1.5 hour, LAX to SNA 1.5 hours, SNA to MX border 2.5 hours. , total about 5.5 hours if there are no accidents or rush hour traffic.
You may want to take a bus. They go on car pool lanes and get to the border reliably. Greyhound, Tres Estrellas, and a whole bunch of Mexican vans etc all pick up along I 5. Sure as hell less work and may be faster and cheaper than driving on your own.
I hope you show as much devotion and determination when it comes time for your annual Mecca pilgrimage. Hehe.

I can't decide if I should take my good phone vs my cheap phone. My plan works only with my good phone I can call text from to Tijuana using the international data plan. Now the cheap phone is not activated it only works with WhatsApp app where internet is available. So I need to have internet if I want to call or text a girl from my Tijuana hotel room. Anyway do you guys feel comfortable taking your nice mobile phone or it's not a good idea?
I have insurance but I don't think it covers lost or stolen I can't remember if it covers international either.
