Quick little trip report from Tijuana.
First I flew into San Diego and arrived at about 10 am. Check in is usually 3 pm in Tijuana, so I decided to check out Coronado beach from the airport after talking to a local surfer. It was like being transported to another world. It's an island with all wealthy white people and from appearances no crime to speak of. I only saw one black guy on the whole island. I thought he was lost. LOL. Very weird. It was like the town from the first Jaws movie but much nicer. I ate some good seafood checked out the waves since I'm looking for a place for a fat old guy to surf. The waves were 2 or 3 feet which were perfect. I will be heading down there for a non Tijuana trip just to surf.
Anyway off to Tijuana after 4 hours in Coronado. Took uber to border 25 bucks and went through immigration without being asked to pay 30.00. First thing everyone should know. The exchange rate is way better in San Diego side than Tijuana. San Ysidro side was 19.45 to 1 and Tijuana was 19.20 at best but mostly 19.15 to one. Extra 25 pesos per hundred bucks. Checked into hotel bought some vitamin v at the pharmacy. Texted my regular and popped a v busted a nut and was done for the day. It literally drained all my energy out of my whole old ass body. I am committed to dropping 30 to 40 pounds or my mongering career is pretty much over as I used to know it. The Viagra didn't help me after the first nut. My 5 inch friend was down for the count and couldn't do a round 2.
Checked out the usual hk Adelitas. Had some sushi. Ate at a new seafood restaurant on the street up by Caesar's hotel. I highly recommend the natural fruit bar 2 blocks from Caesar hotel going towards las plugas and take a right. Go about 2 blocks. You can get freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh watermelon juice large size for 4 bucks. Can't be beat. I hate HK, so I didn't session. I called another regular the next day and busted a nut. Done again. The 3rd day I took it easy and went to dejavu for a more chill environment which I enjoyed. Grabbed ass with a girl for about a hour and bought her 4 drinks. Not bad. Included lap dances. I highly recommend dejavu on a Friday Saturday night if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. Took a uber to amnesias and left pretty quick. The girls were just fugly. One Red Bull and gone. Stick with dejavu. Anyway before my flight I called my regular had sex and off I went. 3 girls in 3 days. That's the best I can do at my age.The beach in Coronado is mostly visited by tourists. These beach condos cost a million dollars and a night at the Del Coronado Hotel is over $ 300 / night. I prefer Imperial Beach, the more easy going beach. Lots of surfers, long fishing pier, two beer gardens like Hess / City tacos and Coronado. Several restaurants like: Thai, Mexican, Pizza etc. And a few bars. Even a new hotel. You can take the city bus ($ 2. 50) to Imperial Beach fishing pier from Palm Ave trolley station. (Beware of the stingrays sometimes in the ocean use the "stingray shuffle".

Yes. I went last week. Even had a dental appointment for next day.
That large immigration official said if my appointment is for tomorrow then I have to leave now and come back tomorrow or pay him.
Yes. The bastards are still doing the shakedown. This whole Covid 'non essential' travel block is a huge income bonanza for them.Laughing as I type this but the last time I visited back in May, I actually created a fake dental appointment confirmation e-mail to show the customs officials in case they required "proof" that I was going to see a dentist. Sent the confirmation from a spoof gmail account I'd just created the day before. Many of the dental offices in Tijuana operate gmail / yahoo accounts anyway. But they never asked for it and I was let through free with my valid passport.
LOL damn cheaper to cross w / o a passport. Thats great hah (not without its own risks I suppose).Last summer I had no passport and walked into Mexico 5 times. I walked through otay since it's only 1 line, Mexicans and non Mexicans. 1st time, nobody talked to me, 2nd, they wanted 20 bucks, made him walk me back to USA side as I wouldn't pay, 3rd time, 4th, 5th I paid the 20 each time in san Ysidro. So yeah if your going only once, for 6 months, better to say you left your passport home. Save 10 bucks. That's if your just doing Tijuana and not seeing other places in Mexico.
The beach in Coronado is mostly visited by tourists. These beach condos cost a million dollars and a night at the Del Coronado Hotel is over $ 300 / night. I prefer Imperial Beach, the more easy going beach. Lots of surfers, long fishing pier, two beer gardens like Hess / City tacos and Coronado. Several restaurants like: Thai, Mexican, Pizza etc. And a few bars. Even a new hotel. You can take the city bus ($ 2. 50) to Imperial Beach fishing pier from Palm Ave trolley station. (Beware of the stingrays sometimes in the ocean use the "stingray shuffle".I don't know any surfers who ever talk about Coronado or imperial beach. Both are often contaminated with Tijuana river run off, although summer is the driest part of the year so if you want those beaches then summer is your best bet. The water may be polluted and Mexico won't tell USA of sewage leaks for a week or two. Most people do ocean beach San Diego, Pacific beach, or blacks beach.
Hey all. Have any of you been able to cross boarder WITHOUT a passport recently without trouble?
Just found out my fuckin passport is expired and with covid delays, it'll take like 10-12 weeks to renew without me having to shell out an additional $500 to expedite.
Chances of it working with just a drivers license or something? Does Cascada enforce passport to check in?
Appreciate any help here.I stay at Cascadas when I visit Tijuana.
Cascadas makes you pay for room at check-in.
They don't ask for ID when you pay for room with cash. They say they want to preserve your privacy, etc.
They only asked for drivers license when paying for room with credit card and they will make a copy of your driver license.
I had three problems with the street girls. The first was practical. I do not like large women. "Mucho carne" (which some guys swear they love) looks like "una gran cantidad de grasa" (a lot of fat) to me. However, there were a few beautiful girls on the street who were not fat, but they were all young.
So here were the other two problems. I met two beauties who said they were 22 and wanted to do a trio, but neither had an ID. They were young, and had no identification card. They looked about 18. I could not be certain that they were 18 years old. This was very frustrating for me, but I am not Jeffrey Epstein and I don't fancy life in a Mexican prison, so I passed on what might have been a very memorable experience.
The second problem is related. They wanted to take me to a room in a hotel that I did not know. I avoid such places, because I do not want to be robbed and assaulted. But without an ID, I was not likely to get them into the Ticuan.
There was no good solution to these problems.1 - skip the fat ones like I do. There are plenty of nice figure gals.
2 - Cascadas checks the IDs including age.
3- only get gals with IDs who are willing to go to Cascadas & stay at Cascadas so there is no additional room charge.
Some gals like evening Wendy / Aniha used to work at the club. So many streetgirls are of HK club quality. You are not giving much by getting street gal.
But. Of course the advantage of club is the foreplay with drinks.
Based on personal experience of this old monger, losing 25 pounds and daily walking exercise helped my ability to have more sex.....The hotter the babes the more sex I can have.

Rambo,
If you pop 3 or 4 girls a night, cost for HK girls and Cascada rooms can add up quickly. There are risks that some HK girls may be difficult and ornery in bed, restricting access, ending short, making session unsexy and unpleasant. My wingman was sitting with a girl in HK, bought her a couple fichas. But in the room she was pushing him away, not granting close contact. He was buying fichas all night for half a dozen girls not looking much better than those on the street.
I can still remember a few very beautiful, nice, fun, classy street girls a few years back. Talents on the street have declined drastically in the last few years, but there are still half a dozen hot street girls worth considering any night of the week. A few HK girls left the club due to high competition and low, unpredictable incomes. They do lower prices on the street but with more steady business, end up making 2 to 3 times what they would hope for in HK.
Fatima could not make any money in HK, so returned and is now working in front of hotel Garcia as of last week. She has an average build with sexy, pleasant attitude, very nice to pin down and pump that wet pussy.
There was no good solution to these problems.
1 - skip the fat ones like I do. There are plenty of nice figure gals.

Tuesday bars full of woman many new ones from all over Mexico Latin America. The woman numbers are higher than pre covid for Tijuana but the guys are like less than half. Had a 9.5 or 10 in small bar from medejin Colombia. Well bought drinks. May need to go to Colombia.
I don't know any surfers who ever talk about Coronado or imperial beach. Both are often contaminated with Tijuana river run off, although summer is the driest part of the year so if you want those beaches then summer is your best bet. The water may be polluted and Mexico won't tell USA of sewage leaks for a week or two. Most people do ocean beach San Diego, Pacific beach, or blacks beach.In San Diego county, the quality of the ocean water is checked daily. Samples of water collected along the coast from Imperial Beach to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside are tested in the laboratory. In the event of a problem with ocean water, they send an alert to the webpage link here http://www.sdbeachinfo.com/ (green colors are ok and red is not good) and the beach and life guard puts warning notices on the beach. In Imperial Beach, there is sometimes a problem after rain. Near the fishing pier at Imperial Beach during the season there is an abundance of mackerel. One guy caught 50 mackerel in one hour! You can also see dolphins jumping and sometimes even sharks.

The water is murky, loaded with raw sewage and industrial discharges, washed up from the Tijuana river and La Playa. The sand is brown with organic waste. I would not even dip my toes into it.
There are plenty nice, clean, healthy beaches further North.

Had a 9.5 or 10 in small bar from medejin Colombia. Well bought drinks. May need to go to Colombia.I hear ya. Colombia is big on my list but I also learned a bit more about it thanks to Luke's video he recently did. (see link below). Not only would I probably need to go with a wingman but. Perhaps get a driver or some local who can take you around. I really did not get the feeling that I could just go on my own. Or with a buddy and feel comfortable. (maybe I am wrong). But watch Luke's great video and see what your take is. Gringo's are big time minorities down there so just a bit more worried. And need to plan out the trip well.

G.I watched a dozen hours of live streaming of Colombia this year from gringos, who were hanging out where the woman work, but weren't into that themselves. Wanderer nirvana was out drinking in the street every night with any local he could find he can get along and drink with bums. He had a GF for a few weeks and a lot of girls were around talking to him, he did get jumped lost phone from that. Could you go and find girls yourself and not get attacked? I'm sure. But it's not as safe as HK and Adelitas. Just from looking I would equate it to the safety of hanging out on the streets between Hong Kong and the arch, after 10 pm. The woman definitely have different body types more athletic body these Colombian woman.

From a chill more laid back less expensive vibe yes I. Be. Very nice but no water activities here (thanks for the reminder). When I was on Midway in 1991 we were tied up at North Island Naval Air Station and at the time there were some fun local places not too expensive. I remember the line dancing at one of them then when I was out there in 1994 met a hot woman for free sex in my youth hehehehe.
For SWs sex in Zona I also use Hotel Coahuila when Cascadas all booked. I like taking nice SGs back to my own place.

Cancun is a very popular vacation city. There are lots nonstop flights from Cancun to most other cities, including LAX, everyday.
To minimize airtime and layovers, we can fly the long route non stop from LAX to Cancun, open jaw return from GDL to LAX:
LAX to Cancun, return GDL to LAX via Delta or Jet Blue $238.
Then take short Regional flights nonstop to cities in Colombia and Mexico:
CUN to MEDELLIN.
Medellin to Bogota.
Bogota to CDMX.
CDMX to Monterrey .
Monterrey to Guadalajara
GDL to LAX by delta or Jet Blue total $384.
Total $622 plus about $200 airport tax. We can visit 6 major monger cities quickly with all non stop flights. We can go in Sept or October when the weather cools down.

G.You guys are spoiled living in San Diego and LA. Sorry Mexico is way better then MDE. Go to the other cities in Mexico first you will have a great time. MDE is way over rated, Bogota does seem to be better, but I was only there briefly.
I just checked on Google flights and a round trip from Tijuana to Medellin via Aeromexico in September is $395. The average L. A. Traveler can take Amtrak to San Diego, then a $2.50 trolley ticket to Tijuana, spend the night at Cascadas, then fly out the next day or two to Colombia. Flight cost: $395 round trip from TIJ aeroport to Medellin. FYI.

Trying to gauge my fear status etc. Some of the video bloggers do show some thin street girls at times which I love. But I think your right with the bigger booty is more the norm down there.

Just as I mentioned, Cancun is very popular so there are lots of cheap nonstop flights to smaller airports in Colombia everyday, more flexibility.
So you fly from LAX non stop to Cancun on US airlines then take nonstop regional flights to cities in Mexico and Colombia. Flying out of LAX saves you a day on the ground to Tijuana and deal with unexpected delays at TIJ's terminal. Check all nonstop flights in the pics.
LAX to Cancun, open jaw return from GDL to LAX via Delta or Jet Blue $238.
Then take short Regional flights nonstop from Cancun to cities in Colombia and Mexico:
CUN to Medellin.
Medellin to Bogota.
Bogota to CDMX.
CDMX to Monterrey.
Monterrey to Guadalajara total $384.
Return from GDL to LAX by delta or Jet Blue.
Total $622 plus about $200 airport tax.
Took a local Tijuana girl to HK, her 1st time in these bars. She would not even look at the woman or touch them. She was in shock and disbelief. She wasn't having fun other than staring at the men in Hong Kong. She has high s3 x drive so I knew I. Needed to get her out of there before she talked to one of the guys. She's very easy to please o. Appearance almost anyone turns her on. So I took her to her 1st gay bar experience, so she could look at shirtless men that hopefully won't try and bang her. One tried, then a girl at the gay bar sits next to her, and they start becoming best friends, in half hour the two of them need to use my hotel for sex. This from a girl who wouldn't look or touch anyone in Hong Kong. Better than seeing one of you guys taking her to a hotel I guess.

I really miss the place. Last trip Nov. 2019 went to Botero Pza. And started talking to this one young Venezola and hated to leave. Wanted just to scoop her up and take her back home with me. If I down there extended would have large apartment with several rooms and keep one in each like a rich Arab! Yummm.

Do any of the clubs require you to show a vaccination card or proof of a negative test in order to enter? It has been a while since I have been to Tijuana.
Well guys tested positive for the COVID. This shit ain't no joke took me out like a light. They gave me antibiotics and steroids. I will recover but take this shit seriously. I've been invincible traveling all over the last year and no problems but it finally caught up to me. Get the moderna vaccine.
Last week I posted that on Wednesday there was an adequate selection in several bars, at 10:30 AM.
This Wednesday, at the same time, HK, Chicago, and Tropical were so dead that their autopsies had been published. But, in all three cases, the selection was adequate by 1:00 PM.

I have a regular that is coming back to town in 2 weeks and I see her social media updates. In the pictures it looks like she is wearing a wedding band and it is always when she is on vacation to tropical locales. Not sure if I should bring it up when meeting her, but just seems odd and not an arrangement I prefer, but she is passionate. Is this a normal thing in MX? These chicas go on more vacations than anyone that I know. They work 1-2 weeks and then take 1-2 weeks off for vacation. Reminds me of the Australians that worked in the mines that would monger for 1 month and then work 2 months.

I love going to Colombia. So far I have been to Cartagena, Bogota and Medellin. I was in Medellin recently. There are other cities in Colombia that I want to visit.I got the feeling from another person who posted a report of their trip to Colombia. Like gringo's stick out quite a bit and get a little pressured when just walking the streets? Any tips on mongering? If you don't mind me asking are you "gringo" looking. Not look like local etc.
Any time you felt a bit uncomfortable. I really Do want to go to Medellin. Cartagena.

Colombianas are hotter than Mexicanas on average and more friendly towards gringos. Medellin is a much prettier, more walkable city than Tijuana. Medellin is better than Tijuana in many aspects.

https://deadline.com/2021/08/los-angeles-breakthrough-infections-covid-amount-cases-1234818477/
In March 2021, when Americans first began hearing about the Delta variant of Covid-19, breakthrough infections among fully-vaccinated Angelenos accounted for just 2% of that month's case total.
By June, when Delta accounted for 50% of all variants in Los Angeles, breakthrough infections among fully-vaccinated residents had risen to 20% of all identified cases.
In late July, county officials reported that the Delta variant had overwhelmed all others, accounting for more than 90% of all positive tests analyzed for variants. As a result, the ratio of breakthrough cases increased to 30%, local health officials announced today.
While L. A. County numbers for the Delta variant have not been reported for August, as of August 19 Delta had risen to 98% of all tests genomically sequenced in California. Parallel growth in breakthrough infections has not been reported yet, but it is likely significant as well, according to LOS Angeles Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer today.
Going down later this afternoon to HK if anyone want to meetup direct message me through this site.

Hey why'all. Since SEA is still out of the question. Plannin on makin first trip to Tijuana Sept 1-3, 2 nights.
Any other younger mongers want to link up?
Really just planning on hitting up HK & staying at cascadas
PM me! Cheers.
Did you get into the room with the two women?
Were you allowed to watch? Allowed to participate. I. e, did it turn into threesome?It was not supposed to involve me as woman need to date me to even consider sleeping with me. But the 1 girl needed my equipment I suppose. It was going well for a while till her man of some sort wanted to hook up with her and she had to hurry out. The fun part was setting them up like a porno producer. They were shy. I turned the lights low, took k their shoes off, made them hold hands, put them in positions woman do to each other. Then I had to bang the 1 girl without my friend knowing. She already had a boyfriend but I didn't want to hear about it in future. Next day she asked if if I banged her. I said no comment.

I'm crossing the border strictly to go to hotel Cascadas. I'm not a great liar either. What is the easiest thing to say when they question me as to why I'm crossing the border?
Thank you for the alert. I am just wondering if you got the shots before you got Covid. Thanks.I am not vaccinated. I will get the vaccine when I heal up. We are in a high risk group.
If you smoke pot or cigarettes you should seriously consider quitting. If you get the virus as a regular smoker you're recovery will be brutal if you recover at all.

First trip to Tijuana. For context I'm an experienced hobbyist in his mid 30's, very average looking but try to take care of myself.
Monday
Crossing the border. Took the greyhound down from DTLA to San Ysidro. Only 4 people on the bus which drops you off at the border crossing. Seems great.
Hotel. Took a cab to Hotel Ticuan. Hotel Ticuan is close enough to be able to walk to the action in Zona Norte, but far enough to tell people "I'm just here for the culture, yeah that's it. " has nicer and quieter rooms, and can receive escorts (unlike Cascadas). Check in is officially at 3 but I arrived at 2 and my room was ready.
Escort session 1 - Shots 1&2 were with Karelia at CuminTJ (reviewed in more detail in the escort thread). Great experience, lovely girl, solid 8 and partook in BBBJ, DATY, DFK, finished CFS missionary and CFS doggy.
Food. Ate onsite at hotel restaurant. Had the medallions which were perfectly decent and reasonably priced. For dinner I went to Caesars where the tacos were OK and mushrooms were good.
Tuesday
Club Hong Kong session 1 - I didn't have a good time but didn't really know what I was doing. I sat by myself for some time, hoping the girls I like would come up to me. This didn't happen so I flagged down an 8 and bought her a drink. She just sat there and drank it, I had no idea "normal" should have her stroking my namesake or putting my hands / mouth on her titties. Stupidly, I took her arriba for shots 3&4. Upstairs in better lighting and when her dress came off she was probably a 6 and I paid $100 for a very dispassionate CBJ, close mouthed kissing, and mechanical sex. Not a good experience but important that I had it, and I consider myself very fortunate that this was my worst experience.
Escort session 2 - Shots 5, 6, & 7 were with Magdely at CuminTJ. I wrote a longer review but it seems the boards prioritize proper capitalization over informative reports and it got deleted. I'm not going to type it out again but pretty much duplicate the Karelia acronyms + she spoke better english. Very happy with escorts so far in Tijuana.
Food. Complimentary Ticuan breakfast buffet is also perfectly decent. Scrambled eggs, potatos, chilaquiles, bacon, sausage, chicharronnes, fruit, cereal, everything a growing boy needs to bang hot Latinas. No reason to go anywhere else for breakfast IMO. For lunch I went to Giuseppis and had chicken marsala. Food was "fine" no complaints. For dinner a chica invited me to Lorenza which is Mexican fusion: think short ribs but Mexican, or shrimp tempura but Mexican, and the food was excellent. It's not walking distance I don't think I would go back solo but it was a good experience to share with a sexy woman, and overall I think the standard for food in Tijuana seems quite high.
Wednesday
New Body Elite session 1 - have another review on this in the MP thread, quick hits is high quality but probably overpriced. Shot 8 successful in CFS missionary but running out of steam for #9.
Club Hong Kong session 2 - Adjusted my expectations and had a much better time. I treated it like a place to just relax and gets handfuls of T&A rather than a place to do advanced calculus to find the right woman to penetrate. I spent $100 to have some drinks, suck on some titties, finger some vaginas, and get a CBJ in the private dance room for shot 9 and feel much better about it than the $180 or whatever I spent prior visit to actually get a room upstairs.
Escort session 3 - Shots 10&11 go to Irais at Musas. Again had a longer review here and not going to retype everything but quick hits: I went into the session expecting only one shot but her pussy was so hot (temperature) and tight that #2 was easy. Also noteworthy was the hiccups in the booking process at Musas and at MLB. I had booked another chica at Musas who canceled 10 minutes before the session so sent Irais instead, and MLB simply didn't respond to my inquiries. Booking / punctuality aside, I'm very happy at the high level of quality + service from Tijuana escorts.
Food. I went to Justinas, which had duck confit tostadas and garlic truffle fries with a raspberry glaze reduction. These were incredible, probably the same meal costs $90 in LA but was only $22 and I honestly don't think there's a reason to eat anywhere else if you're in the area and Justinas is open. Had my other meals at the hotel restaurant. House carne asada and breakfast buffet were safe, convenient, and hit the spot.
Thursday
New Body Elite session 2 - It was my last day and had to catch the greyhound back and didn't trust escort booking / punctuality and didn't trust getting GFE at Hong Kong so went to NBE on my way to the border. I paid a bit more ($100 for 30 min) for the peace of mind to ensure I get high quality service with a beautiful woman while the clock is ticking on my last day. Shot #12 in covered doggy.
Crossing the border. With global entry, crossing the border on foot took less than a minute. Greyhound back was the opposite experience, completely full bus, some dumbasses talking blink182 and other shit bands for like 3 hours, I'll explore other mediums of transportation to return to LA.
Overall
I don't think my first trip could have gone much better. Tijuana's cons (crime, smells like a toilet, language barrier, shoddy infrastructure / plumbing) are definitely outweighed by its pros (high quality GFE service, excellent food, low low prices) and consider myself very fortunate living in LOS Angeles that Tijuana is so close. I'll look forward to many trips south of the border in the future.

I'll look forward to many trips south of the border in the future.Thanks for the report! I will definitely consider Justinas with a regular. The one and only time I took greyhound was when I was in advanced training in the military from VA to the gulf coast. I think I stopped at every town on the east coast and the ride took like 2-3 days. I swore never to ride one again. I can only imagine how long it takes to ride from San Ysidro to LA. You could try the train from Union station and transfer to SD trolley, it would still add time to you trip.
Once you get a list of regulars you click with, then GFE / PSE should be easy and guaranteed every visit. You do the viet coffee shops in OC or any MPs in LA? I hit up a place in El Segundo that had latinas and recall a chica with the tattoo of the Mayan calendar covering her whole back. She said she was a tattoo model and was fun. Also numerous K agencies to fill the need until next trip.
You should consider taking the Flix bus. Their buses are very clean, cheap & modern. The fare to LA is only $10 each way.
First trip to Tijuana. For context I'm an experienced hobbyist in his mid 30's, very average looking but try to take care of myself.
Monday
Crossing the border. Took the greyhound down from DTLA to San Ysidro. Only 4 people on the bus which drops you off at the border crossing. Seems great.
Hotel. Took a cab to Hotel Ticuan. Hotel Ticuan is close enough to be able to walk to the action in Zona Norte, but far enough to tell people "I'm just here for the culture, yeah that's it. " has nicer and quieter rooms, and can receive escorts (unlike Cascadas). Check in is officially at 3 but I arrived at 2 and my room was ready.
Escort session 1 - Shots 1&2 were with Karelia at CuminTJ (reviewed in more detail in the escort thread). Great experience, lovely girl, solid 8 and partook in BBBJ, DATY, DFK, finished CFS missionary and CFS doggy.
Food. Ate onsite at hotel restaurant. Had the medallions which were perfectly decent and reasonably priced. For dinner I went to Caesars where the tacos were OK and mushrooms were good.
Tuesday
Club Hong Kong session 1 - I didn't have a good time but didn't really know what I was doing. I sat by myself for some time, hoping the girls I like would come up to me. This didn't happen so I flagged down an 8 and bought her a drink. She just sat there and drank it, I had no idea "normal" should have her stroking my namesake or putting my hands / mouth on her titties. Stupidly, I took her arriba for shots 3&4. Upstairs in better lighting and when her dress came off she was probably a 6 and I paid $100 for a very dispassionate CBJ, close mouthed kissing, and mechanical sex. Not a good experience but important that I had it, and I consider myself very fortunate that this was my worst experience.

I got the feeling from another person who posted a report of their trip to Colombia. Like gringo's stick out quite a bit and get a little pressured when just walking the streets? Any tips on mongering? If you don't mind me asking are you "gringo" looking. Not look like local etc.
Any time you felt a bit uncomfortable. I really Do want to go to Medellin. Cartagena.
G.If you're worried about that then stick to Poblado area in Medellin and you will be with fellow gringos. Doesn't sound like you would like the centro area. If you go Cartagena stick to the beach area in El Laguito, Bocagrande and Castillogrande. Rent an Airbnb there.

SmallWienerguy,
Would be nice to read your assessment of escorts. It's a shame lots of good info was deleted. That decision was way unreasonable. Long reports should typed in WORD for typo corrections and saving. If the posts don't show up in 24 hours, the mods may have deleted anything they cannot get to. Consider reposting until you get yelled at.
SeaBeeJoe claims 3 out of 4 Musas girls had stinky pussies. Clients may get knocked out by that foul odor when their faces ever get near their rotten crotches. That is a very poor and offensive way to treat their clients. Don't these girls get any hint or coaching from their managing pimps?

Can anyone comment what the walk in weekend night rates are at the Chicago Club at Adelita Bar hotels in recent times.
I like to have an overnight room if I might be doing any sessions at a club.
If they have raised prices too it might not be worth it since I would have another hotel room each night to actually sleep in.
Thanks for the report! I will definitely consider Justinas with a regular. The one and only time I took greyhound was when I was in advanced training in the military from VA to the gulf coast.

Especially when you're tired after a party in the Zona Norte and sleepy or after drinking alcohol just kick back relax. Check the timetable. Travel time 3 h. 30 min San Ysidro (the bus station is right next to the border) - LOS Angeles downtown e. G. San Ysidro 330 PM. L. A. 7 PM or San Ysidro 730 PM. L. A. 11 PM. The ticket price starts from $ 20 one way, you can buy a ticket on the line link here www.greyhound.com.

I can take the Coaster then trolley but it takes 3 hours and half without access to a bathroom.
I wish there was an alternative to Uber and the Coaster. One is expensive. The other is time consuming.

This is Rickymichaels7 signing off. I am moving to San Antonio on September 1. You know it is time to make a change when you are at the point of hating to set foot in the bars in La Coahuila. I have had enough. Enough of the hustling, the pushy waiters, the greedy putas. Basically the whole scene. Have been going since 1999. It used to be a hell of a lot funnier back then. Now it is just a bunch of greedy bar owners, waiters and putas who will manipulate you out of every dime you have. Hung out with a girl from Adelitas this past Friday. She was a stunner and said she wanted me to take her to the Rosarito beach fest on Saturday. She texted me and I told her where to meet me and she told me that she charges 500.00 per day. That did it for me. I'm done.
Lessons learned: I have had 4 long term relationships with women from the bars since 1999. One from Adelitas, one from Hong Kong, one from Tropical and one from Chicago. Three of the four were very nice women. They were looking for a way to get out of working in the bars and I gave them that opportunity. All loyal as Hell. Problem is that none of them could ever find a job making more than 80.00 a week. Therefore, I ended up forking over money for their rent, clothes, food, kids school, money for their sick parents and themselves. And the list goes on and on. And there was always something that came along where money was required. Always. So lesson learned is yes, you can have a nice relationship with a puta from the bars but be prepared to fork over cash for the rest of your life. In my case, I simply got tired of this. So unless you have copious amounts of money to give them. Don't do it.
The fourth relationship I had was the worst. It was with a girl from Tropical that many of who have heard my previous stories about. Yamilet. In her case, she was a monster when drunk which resulted in my almost getting killed by her one night as she took a kitchen knife to me and cut me on my bicep twice, not to mention swinging weights at me and breaking my finger. She had a big Santa Muerte tattoo on her arm and I truly believe that she was possessed by the devil.
So don't think about getting emotionally attached to these women as you will be sorry in the long run. Take care all.

As I stated in my farewell post, my fourth GF from Tropical, Yamilet, was devil possessed. I didn't get into the specifics that made me come to this conclusion because they are too chilling. Let me just leave you with this. And you can believe it or think it is a total joke. Your choice. Don't mess with these girls that have Santa Muerte tatoos or necklaces, etc. If you know what is good for you. I will leave it at that. Take care bros. Adios.

Adios.Bro, good luck in San Antonio I was thinking of moving to Texas myself. Anyways I wish you the best out there and hope you meet a nice Texan girl who will take care of you well. Many hotties in Texas especially in San Antonio. I would have to say I had a few Chica "girlfriends" in the past and all of them were various levels of crazy from mildly bipolar to completely psychotic. As the old saying goes "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Adios.The santa muerte thing all that means is that the person is into some bad illegal shit. People who display the santa muerte as a tattoo, or t-shirt, or decals on their car it's just their way of saying "I'm a badass, I'm willing to do some dirty grimey shit". So needless to say, stay completely away from people like that. Unless you're the type who likes to "dance with the devil", danger thrillseeking type.
And if you're moving to San Antonio I hope you don't find yourself being tempted to start frequenting the zonas of Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa as they're just as bad or probably much worse than Tijuana. Trust me I know those places very well. I was a regular customer at Lipstick in Reynosa, I could tell you some stories. If you think Tijuana is full of violent criminals and crooked cops, Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo are even worse.
I'd recommend getting further away from the border if you can. San Antonio is only a quick 3 hour road trip to the border, whereas Dallas or Houston are great cities but much further from the border. Or even Austin which is my favorite city in Texas.

Wow, Ricky! Hate to see you go. You had serious LTRs with 4 hot bar girls and gave us some good insights.
$500 for all-day date with a hot bar girl is a little high for Tijuana market, but a few guys probably paid her that much in the past for her company. If you had dangled a your potential lifetime love and devotion, marriage certificate plus your safe, lavish lifestyle in US with multimillion $ assets, perhaps she would have discounted her present deals for potential future long-term gains. One of the SD pervs has been having GF relationships with some of the hottest Adelita girls. He would spend all weekends with them in hotels and give them $100 at the end. He really knows the game and passed on to me a few of his extremely pretty and attractive ex bar GFs. It's just a little game we have to play to get the girls' companies, love, sex, affection, care, food ect in exchange for our limited resources, all the while keeping our lives and relationships alive and interesting.
There are no perfect women and no perfect relationships. Women are genetically temperamental. They are designed to bear and care for children, keep the hearth warm, relieve their men's life stress and make them happy. But almost all women are well-known to have hot temper and difficulties controlling their emotion. Even the classiest and most beautiful women can fly into a rage, say the meanest words and do the most violent things when they feel cornered and disadvantaged. The Santa Muerta girl is a very serious safety risk. You are lucky you are still alive. A lot of Mexican girls are exploited and abused violently, even by people in the family closest to them. They can really transfer their anger and violence to people closest to them to relieve theirs.
Mexico or US, It's all about surviving and thriving in life. You had serious intimate relationships and hot, sexy times with 4 hot bar girls, much better than 99.999% of all US males. What more do you want? At the end of the day, you give the girls some pleasures, happiness, perhaps some pains, and get back about the same from them, hopefully in fair and equitable proportions. The important thing is, you know in your heart you had been honest and fair with them, and you left the relationships with clear conscience.

The important thing is, you know in your heart you had been honest and fair with them, and you left the relationships with clear conscienceExactly! Just returned from a night with a regular and she had a Santa Muerte figurine in her apartment, but she is the most I feel at home with, but she is just a bar girl I spend time with and nothing else. Being with her is like going into a time warp. I only wanted to spend a certain amount of time with her as I have to work today and before I knew it hours flew by. I don't promise anything, just money at end of session. Between her Spanish and my limited Spanish she was telling me a story about her younger brother serving 15 years for putting a knife to the side of another guys neck. I am sure more to story, but again my limited Spanish only deciphered a few words. I have seen some bar girls with extensive bruising on their legs and arms, but never care to ask. Just hope they find a better line of work in the future. I understand that I'm part of the problem, but guess just selfish personal primal need to fulfill.
Also good luck to Rikky as I am sure youll find other monger destinations as Zona Norte is so limited. Medellin sounds like next best alternative.

Texas has a lot of hot Latina chicas. A lot. Especially the nearer you get to the border. On the other hand, it's a pain in the ass to get anywhere because they are so spread out. Forget about walking anywhere. Yeah, taking care of a Mexican woman is kind of expensive. On the other hand, they don't ask for much like a fucking Gucci this or Guicci that along with a new BMW every other year. It's just a problem when you got to decide to help out her family or not, like her sick mom, or her brother in rehab, and the list goes on. It's not as easy to say no to someone's life than "fuck no" to another Gucci bag.
Personally I think you'll last 2 years before you come back. So think of your trip as an extended vacation.

I know what you mean about Nuevo Laredo as I previously lived in San Antonio and frequented the zona many times. A long time ago, there were policemen at the entrance checking everybody coming in and out toting maching guns. The policemen are now all gone with only the Sedena (soldiers) patrolling. The soldiers often get into gun battles with the cartel. During my last visit to the bars there, one of the waiters drove me back to my hotel at sunrise. As we approached the first stoplight I saw what appeared to be about 12 soldiers, all toting AR15's, AK47's, etc. I said to my driver, oh, the soldiers are out. He replied, no, those are the narcos. Thery were basically stopping and robbing everybody. Luckily, they knew my driver and waved us through. This scared the Hell out of me. Nuevo Laredo is a seriously dangerous hellhole. On our way to the zona one evening, we passed 2 or 3 trucks that had a dude on top manning a 50 calibre with the cartel name on the side of the truck. Once inside the zone, my buddy and I stepped out of a bar right in front of one of these trucks (who was driving around and around the compound). I quickly ushered both of us back into the bar. Truly amazing to see this going on unstopped. Right then and there you beging to understand how Mexico is a failed state with the cartels controlling it. Some scary crap. So, I will probably hang out over in Ciudad Acuna. Much mellower. There is a bar, Hunter's Club there and a few other bars. Never went to Reynosa but heard the corruption stories similar to Nuevo Laredo.
Also good luck to Rikky as I am sure youll find other monger destinations as Zona Norte is so limited. Medellin sounds like next best alternative.Actually if Rikky actually does make it to "San Antone" the best most convenient monger destination for him would be Monterrey. Monterrey is an awesome monger destination, one reason is the chicas there aren't as much in hustle mode and are much more appreciative of what a gringo has to offer, being that very few gringos make it down to Monterrey. Plus Monterrey is a big modern, cosmopolitan city with plenty of fun interesting things to do.

Whoah Santa Muerte worshippers and knives by or in necks not for this guy. Thanks for the heads up about these psycho Mexicanas.

There's currently a lot of darkness lurking around, this is only advice I'll give you mongers, young and old, do not let your phone out of site if you're with a girl from an agency, and always expect to be recorded if you're at a club.
With many factions lurking around and competing with one another, We're in age that is unforgiving. There's old technology around that facilitates uploading mallard onto your phone through its USB port or copying its data. Never leave your phone or wallet out of sight. Young masterminds have taken over most profitable activities and they easily adapted to methods related to technologies.
Once more, do not trust the provider you're around. You do not know which group she's part of or who is supporting her.
Being trustworthy in this hobby that his riddled with darkness can lead you to being blackmailed or murdered.
I did my research in Tijuana from entry to exit, and what I found wasn't pretty. I'd stick to the clubs even if they might be riddled with groups and cameras, and never fall in love.

Actually if Rikky actually does make it to "San Antone" the best most convenient monger destination for him would be Monterrey. Monterrey is an awesome monger destination, one reason is the chicas there aren't as much in hustle mode and are much more appreciative of what a gringo has to offer, being that very few gringos make it down to Monterrey. Plus Monterrey is a big modern, cosmopolitan city with plenty of fun interesting things to do.You know I like going native and slumming it with the locals (eg Rio Verde), so the first place I'd hit up when I make it to Monterrey would be Matehuala.

In about 5 seconds, she turned on my hotspot, changed my password to something she can use and gave it back to me. I don't know if she was interested in just piggy backing my phone for free WIFI or pulling shit out. I got paranoid, booted her ass, reconfigured my hotspot, and locked down my phone.
For the average monger, I am unsure if how vulnerable he can be.
I find the concept of paying a girl to spend a day or two or more with you going to restaurants, clubs, shows, events and other date like experiences very sad even though fs is included.

It's a math decision for me. If I like the provider's service, I am willing to pay for a multi-day soiree. For example, 5000 for two days is a bargain if you pop her half a dozen or so times. Having said that, Tijuana chicas have been Americanized in many ways, especially when it comes to pricing so the multi-day unlimited buffet works better in places like CDMX.

I can't do 30 min. As I'm just warming up and need at least 2-3 hours of passionate love making. When I was younger I could just pop on demand, but now it takes a whole lot more for me to pop. Also I love making love before sleeping and then morning sex is the best. People pay $80-100 for 30 min. And I can get 6-12 hours for $300. Really comes down to how you like to party. No judgement, but hopefully a fun time! Have fun and stay safe!

I was in Thailand one time with a girl and she offered to give me her phone number. She grabbed my phone and quickly put it in my contacts but she was so fast with the process she could have messed with other stuff and I would not even have known.
Just good to keep yourself in control of your phone. Or just keep an eye on it when she is on it etc. Or have a 2nd phone with no contact info. Facebook or other personal stuff on it etc.

One day they may lead the fight to legalize prostitution in USA.
Meanwhile I am concerned about harassment & prosecution of innocent men by #metoo and misandrists.
So I am planning on donating to become a lifetime member of NCFM.

Just bought some Mexican insurance (Chubbs) so see me out there driving like a maniac. Also bringing some tip money for the policia if they can catch me. 😜the insurance was going to be $60 a day so just got the year since I just need to drive down for 9 days out of the year to get my monies worth. Feels like extortion, but I guess they make a ton from just selling a day of insurance. Also registered the car for sentri, but not sure how long it is going to take for approval. I may try the Otay entrance if less wait time.
I sent a donation to this group NCFM years ago but never heard from them again. Maybe they are doing some good but there is no newsletter or follow up. If you want a blog that has interesting news on men's rights, check out goingyourownway dot com then Lounge. Typical posting: Doctor acquitted of molesting woman after she admits to lying in court.

It's even more insane how much they pay, how much crazy shit they put up with having real arguments in their fake relationship, and the kind of lies they believe. The funny thing is you'll never hear these losers be honest about how much energy, time and money they've really invested in putas because even after they've been played they try to convince themselves some part of it was real.

A good way to view it, is, many dudes like to spend money on woman anyway. Some guys never let a girl pay when dating. They love the idea of being the one paying for everything. So if you are already one of those guys, have tons of money, then it's easy to transition towards paying 300 to 500 a day. They like to buy things. To feel like they own things. They own that girl for a day. Even sex is depressing if I'm paying for it. In fact I need to drink to even do it. I used to date many woman much prettier than what I see in these bars. And I'm not handsome or tall but I put in hundreds hours on tinder to get those dates. I think any guy who can afford to pay woman 400 a day is probably capable of pulling woman on tinder. Because they will have a home, nice clothes, a good car, a career, and if you have all those things it won't matter what you look like for at least 5% of the woman. Sure the other 95% may still need looks.

One time I think I was almost involved in a sting, but lady didn't go through with inviting me to room. I turned around and left and saw a cruiser in the street. Just bros looking out for bros. Just keep head on swivel, walk with a purpose, and spend what you can afford to part with just like a gambling trip. Most importantly make sure you have fun!

Now I just use them for my pleasure and they use me for $$. I don't fall in love anymore. When I start to feel something for a girl I know it is tine to change them out for a new one. The putas only hurt you in the end if you let them. But I try to be a gentleman but I don't suffer a *****.

It's OK to go to a shrink and pay them $100 - $300 per hour to listen to your problems.
It's ok to pay a massage therapist $$ per hour to make you feel good as long as she doesn't touch your privates and make them feel good!
It's ok to date girls who are a bit of gold diggers and just like the lifestyle of someone who is much more well off financially than they are.
It's ok to pay to go to a comedy club and have a great time to connect with the humor of another person.
But it's not ok to pay a girl to spend a few days who encapsulates all that stuff into one person?
Do you know what the value of "touch" is. Human's need human's. Contact is Very important. Physical, Emotional, Conversational.
It's more than just fucking. I can spank the chimp at home.
Check out this Ted Talk about prostitution to gain a little perspective on paying a hooker for a few days. (or just paying them for their short time).

I rarely am in zonavon a Wednesday because Tuesday has HK 2 free beers and 20 dollar hotel with VIP. Anyway. All the clubs very packed with woman. I would say, every club has 2 to 3× the woman compared to ore covid. Probably 70% of the men compared to more covid. Hong Kong had a lingerie contest. Must of been 200 or 3 o0 woman in HK not counting Chavelas. Chicago had woman, as did tropical, I could not find a good girl though. Street girl tried to charge me 50 in the room. Kept preventing me from leaving. Eventually I paid her 20 to eat her out till I couldn't any more. Bar Korea, had 1 dollar beers. Think it was a Wednesday special. Bar Korea, every time I go they renovate the place. It was full of woman 10 to 15 pounds overweight. So basically it has become the new Chavelas. I don't mind the chubby girls in Tijuana. To date? I need in shape. In Tijuana? Gordan no problem.

That's the best reason to decriminalize prostitution.
#METOO wants to criminalize prostitution and destroy any men who act out their sexual needs, eventually destroy this society. Desperate women become trafficked victims by pimps and abusers.
Nobody wins if people cannot freely exchange wants and needs and free trade is restricted.

Before didn't want the hassle if I got into an accident, but I like the freedom of just wheeling around. Picking up HK regular that just had lipo later today after 5 as she is taking online classes. She wants to check out Chapultepec and then who knows what, but Marriott is booked for nighttime activities. Who knows, maybe we can have some car fun in the parking garage? She wants me to meet her cousins which is odd, but hey I'll play. I'm taking the electric car as the sports car would definitely get banged up. Last time I took a car down to Tijuana was when I missed the last uturn back to US. Good thing now is Waze should be able to help me navigate back to where I need to be.

Do you know what the value of "touch" is. Human's need human's. Contact is Very important. Physical, Emotional, Conversational..Therapists actually help you work through your problems. Putas just pretend to care.
Comedians are professional entertainers, but I have never left a comedy show feeling more "connected" with a comedian. Even if I did, I'd still realize putas just seem funny because they're fine as hell, otherwise they'd be professional comedians.
No, it is not okay or normal to date gold diggers, otherwise there wouldn't be dozens of articles online warning pathetic, susceptible men of the red flags to watch for when dating one.
The fact you don't understand these things indicate you don't don't know what healthy relationships look like, so your insistence that you're getting meaningful conversation or true emotional connection from putas is exactly the kind of thing that some of us find sad.
I should point out that I do think it's possible to have a healthy relationship with a sex worker but as clients it must begin with an understanding that they are sex workers and we are just their clients, they do not feel any meaningful attachment towards us.
As you guys might have noticed, taxis are charging $12 to the motels and had to go few motels to get a room now a days over the weekends. Ended up paying more than $35 to taxi few times recently. And $10 for parking. Spending $50 for logistics is kind of expense if you visit every week.
I am thinking to drive as my vehicle was already registered in Sentri. Is insurance must buy, if so, any ideas what insurance is better? Is it really that dangerous? Any tips and tricks to keep in mind while driving in Tijuana?
My main concern all these days was .. how safe is it to drive back to US after drinking ... Yes, i do drink much some times... :-(

Thank You!!If you have SENTRI, Baja Bound insurance offers a special rate for 6 or 12 months. I think I paid around 300 last time to re-up for the year. Good deal when you consider it's like $45-$50 for a few days by the border.
I don't think it's any more dangerous than driving in USA. You are playing with fire by drinking and driving. I limit myself to two beers if I am driving back across the border.

Driving in Tijuana is an adventure. Rules of the road is more like suggested rather than mandatory. So look around at intersections or one day someone will run a red light and T-bone your car and kill you. Stop signs are suggestions to slow down and taxi drivers honk at me for making an actual stop, unless you see a cop, then definitely stop. Potholes are killers. Some are so deep that they will pop your tires. I popped 2 new tires in the first 3 weeks of driving in Tijuana. Curbs are angled differently and very high and will scrape your car as you make a right turn. The Turnabouts are crazy scary and is a game of chicken, and use instead of stop lights. Pedestrians have a right of way and many will walk right in the middle of the road, traffic be damned.
Drivers can be real assholes and do not mind scrapping their shitty car against your car. Did I mention it is a game of chicken? The locals do not use blinkers. They tend to dive head first into your lane. You'll know what I mean. Cops specifically target drivers that they think are drunk, particular exiting the Zona Norte. Prepare to get fucked by cops waiting for you, and hoping you are drunk so that you can help pay their rent. They know all of the exits out of the Zona Norte and you are going to be BFF with some if you drink and drive.
Personally, I don't think I save any money since I've driven to the Zona Norte. The reason I did was that I dated a girl over in Otay, then another that lived in Las Playas. So I needed to learn to drive in Tijuana.
I recommend getting a 1 day insurance, then driving over Sunday to see if you are okay. You do not want to drive there the first time Saturday night and play road warrior with taxis and cops. On the other hand, Mexican cops will help you drop the habit of driving and drinking real fast. I guarantee it.

Thank You!!Have you considered Uber as a cheaper alternative to taxis? I only use Uber in Tijuana which is much, much cheaper than taxis and I think is less riskier than chancing taking your car into Mexico. If I knew Spanish I'd be more comfortable taking my car across the border but I don't so...
IMO, drinking and driving in TJ and leaving yourself subject to Mexican laws (as well as bribe attempts by Mexican policia) is asinine but do you. I guess the "good" thing about getting caught drinking and driving in TJ is you probably stand a much better chance getting off if you're willing to pay the bribe...
I currently live in Tijuana and even before the move, I thought driving was the best option. Insurance is a must. Luckily my US insurance covers up to 20 miles south of the border. Try looking into your current provider to see if that's an option. Otherwise, you can purchase by-the-day or find good deals for longer term as well.
Driving in Tijuana is like other 3rd world cities. You have to be a good defensive driver. I've seen some crazy shit and gnarly accidents. Getting busted drinking and driving is not a good thing. Cops do set up check points on rápida and other spots coming out of Centro and Norte. If you plan to drink, don't bother driving.
And forget the taxis. It's a total rip off. Uber's from the border to Norte runs between $3-$5 depending on time of day and $4-$6 to the nearest motels. Other rideshare apps like DiDi are even cheaper and have a cash option.

Have you considered Uber as a cheaper alternative to taxis? I only use Uber in Tijuana which is much, much cheaper than taxis and I think is less riskier than chancing taking your car into Mexico. If I knew Spanish I'd be more comfortable taking my car across the border but I don't so...
IMO, drinking and driving in TJ and leaving yourself subject to Mexican laws (as well as bribe attempts by Mexican policia) is asinine but do you. I guess the "good" thing about getting caught drinking and driving in TJ is you probably stand a much better chance getting off if you're willing to pay the bribe...I never tried Uber in Tijuana. I totally agree and consider alternate options than drinking and driving. Me going to Tijuana not drinking is incomplete. . I will try it next time and see how it works. Thank You.

Drinking and driving is never a good idea especially when you're going to have to pass through the border. A cab is cheaper than a DUI.

GNP Mexico insurance costs about $110 a year liability bought through AAA web site.
GNP is allegedly a major insurance company in Mexico, even though nobody answers the 800 tel #. I have never had to file a claim so don't know their service, but you can always sue AAA. You can cancel the policy and get refund for days not used.
If you get in minor fender benders, you can always take the cars to Ruben Carillo body shop on Calle 3 corner Negrete. He speaks Ingles, makes good deals and can fix most body damages with good matching paint the same day for less than $200. Damaged fender, bumper, hood, head light quoted $1,200 labor in LA costed $150 at Carillo. Workmanship, quality and paint were good, matched original paint. Wait 2 weeks for the paint to harden and bring the car back for them to rub and shine it. They also replace or install parts cheap. Ask him for a big invoice so you can sue the insurance companies.
Third world countries have unique problems but also have appropriate solutions.
Is insurance must buy, if so, any ideas what insurance is better? Is it really that dangerous? Any tips and tricks to keep in mind while driving in Tijuana?
My main concern all these days was .. how safe is it to drive back to US after drinking ... Yes, i do drink much some times... :-( Do get insurance; if a cop catches you in an accident without it, it's a lot more serious than in California. I use AAA's partner, GNP Mexico Insurance, and was pleased with their claim service. If you visit every week, get an annual policy. And drive VERY defensively.
As far as drunk driving goes, it's no problem in Mexico. Just have $500 USD for the bribe.
I never tried Uber in Tijuana. I totally agree and consider alternate options than drinking and driving. Me going to Tijuana not drinking is incomplete. . I will try it next time and see how it works. Thank You.I've Ubered all around Tijuana and it was quick, efficient and painless.
It's insane to me that some mongers pay to spend days at a time roleplaying boyfriend-girlfriend. It's even more insane how much they pay, how much crazy shit they put up with having real arguments in their fake relationship, and the kind of lies they believe. The funny thing is you'll never hear these losers be honest about how much energy, time and money they've really invested in putas because even after they've been played they try to convince themselves some part of it was real.Speak for yourself. In many of my travels I have latched onto a girl, or perhaps vice versa, and had a very good time exploring parts of the city and country that most tourists don't get to see. It's a much better way to get to know more of the culture and cuisine of a country than just sitting in a bar night after night.
Therapists actually help you work through your problems. Putas just pretend to care.
Comedians are professional entertainers, but I have never left a comedy show feeling more "connected" with a comedian. Even if I did, I'd still realize putas just seem funny because they're fine as hell, otherwise they'd be professional comedians.
No, it is not okay or normal to date gold diggers, otherwise there wouldn't be dozens of articles online warning pathetic, susceptible men of the red flags to watch for when dating one.
The fact you don't understand these things indicate you don't don't know what healthy relationships look like, so your insistence that you're getting meaningful conversation or true emotional connection from putas is exactly the kind of thing that some of us find sad..Not saying Putas replace these other people, but just saying they have more value than is given and I don't look at what they give as "sad" to those who spend time with them.
Did you get a chance to watch the video clip. Basically it's a sex worker sharing insights into what they do is "more" than just sex. And she is right.
I have had long term girlfriends over the years and I think they were healthy but it's just not the type of relationship I am looking for right now. I really enjoy being on my own and being able to pop down to Tijuana at times and have some superficial relationships where at times we can't even understand each other's language.
Also if I want meaningful conversations I have friends and family for that. Yes snuggling with a Puta isn't as nice as with an actual girl friend who cares for you so they will never replace that but still special talents they have I don't consider sad.
When I pay a massage therapist $100 for an hour I don't consider what she gives me to be "sad". Yes, if your looking to the Puta to give you meaningful attachments and emotional connections. Your probably looking up the wrong tree!

It's a much better way to get to know more of the culture and cuisine of a country than just sitting in a bar night after night.I'm the same. When I was younger I'd just propose my offer and shoot my shot. Now I need more of a connection and I love tour guides in foreign countries that serve as translators, tour guide, and fuck buddy. They share their corner of the world and I offer the same if they are ever in my hood. Kind of like Anthony Bourdain going around the world eating and experiencing the various cultures. They definitely left out the monger parts I bet. 😂
Nothing like waking up to a BBBJ and fresh fruit or food they made or ordered. They genuinely seemed more pissed off about people ripping me off than I was. I could hear the rage even though I didnt understand anything they said to their fellow countryman. A dollar to them is worth more than to me, it is just a fiat currency, monopoly at this point.

When I'd go out drinking with the ex once I started drinking to much she would take my money because I'd always over tip. It's weird because we think we are being good people just helping out others but to them you are acting stupid and wasting money.
Cars too. I rented cars for last 5 years 600 month. Then bought one its costing me 2500 month in repairs never mind the 10 k I paid for it and the fact it's in the shop 75% of the time.Then you apparently overpaid for a "luxury" car at the end of its projected life, with tons of deferred maintenance, and never learned how to DIY. There's nothing in this world more expensive than a cheap German car. If you're going to drive cars like that you'd better learn to wrench. Yes, I speak from experience. My stable includes two 20-year-old Beemers.

Crunch time. Going for weekend to San Diego daytime and stay both nights in Tijuana. Last time I went stayed at Motel Pacific on a Thursday night $30+/.
And that's where I ran into a slight problem: Motel Pacific's nightly rates like many places in CDMX are only for Mon-Thur as Fri-Sun the hourly rate formula is better bank for them. Good for them, bad for me.
Anything on Booking or AirBnB that won't break the bank? Don't mind a short Uber ride to from border / zona norte to / from hotel.

GREAT location for food and transport to Tijuana.Wow $ 90, I think it is much cheaper in the off-summer season. I have stayed there a lot of times at this motel when I lived in Northern California. There are a lot of restaurants around like: McDonald's, Denny's, Taco Bell, Angus steak, Aunt Emmy's breakfast (my favorite), supermarket, liquor store and right next to the "E Street" trolley station. Last trolley from San Ysidro is 1258 AM. If you are later in the night a taxi from San Ysidro to this motel is around $ 25. But overall it's a good location to visit Tijuana and San Diego (trolley travel time 20 min to San Ysidro or downtown San Diego).

Just booked a different motel on Tijuana side for $82. Hopefully Uber drivers are plentiful.
Overall inbound flight is one way to San Diego.
Astros at Padres Saturday 6 pm matinee Sunday 1 pm.
Utilize all the trolleys San Diego has to offer.
(For Sunday 1 pm, not sure how long pedestrian entry process would take)
Hobby in Tijuana when not wearing Astros gear in a California arena.
Monday 9:30am outbound TIJ-MTY some possible Monterrey hobby then a long Monday night Greyhound from MTY back home.

I have Consumer Cellular and can use a T-Mobile chip internationally but always have to reset my voicemail when coming back into USA.
I think for Google Fi have to be near wi-fi however.
Yes hotels now with vaccines and more people traveling (pent up demand) highest I have ever seen in San Diego even over holiday weekends. I use to be able to book good rooms downtown San Diego for just over $100 on holiday weekends.

Best thing to do is as others have said. Just bring a 2nd phone down. Get a sim chip from TelCel in Rio Mall and put $10 on it etc.
Also. Get the web site info on how you can reload the card from the web site with a credit card. (you can reload it from any XOXO location but it's better if you can just do it from the web site).
TelCel is Much faster than the Verizon speeds when you can connect.

T-Mobile has the basic 55+ plan with unlimited voice and data in US, Mexico and Canada for about $50 a month.
T-Mobile also has the Magneta plan with free voice and text in 210 countries for about $75 a month. I would switch to Magenta plan when I travel then switch back to the cheaper plan.
With AT&T and Verizon you have to buy their separate international plan which can be expensive. If you are on the high floor in Cascada, sometimes you can get strayed signals from Sen Diego but it's not reliable.
https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/unlimited-55-senior-discount-plans
T-Mobile; s 4 g internet service works most of the time. There times when I have to connect to the Telcel service instead. One key is turn off the adaptive network selection. Sometimes I will a get a invalid server message when trying to dial Mexican number in Tijuana.

Lots of Texas' elected officials, also judges, sheriffs, deputies, pastors, priests ect will soon be busted and charged with the new felony.Typical. New York State Governor Cuomo refused to sign New York State's decriminalization prostitution bill which was ready to sign but one month later was impeach for groping and sexual assault on 11 women. US politicians take a completely wrong approach to prostitution. Many countries have successfully regulated prostitution, e. G. Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, New Zealand, Australia, Nevada USA and others, even 10 minutes from the border Zona Norte in Tijuana.

In the US the so called religious right is mainly responsible for the repressed sexuality in the country. The religious right are the most perverted people in the US but are repressed with respect to normal sexuality (i.e. between consenting adult men and women). Repressed sexuality produces hate.

Which is better to spend in Tijuana? Both with the restaurants and women. Also how bad are ATM fees?
Captain Solo
08-30-21, 17:43
Pesos is always better in Tijuana.
Restaurants will give you bills in both pesos and dollars but their exchange rate is lower than cambios'.
Both bar girls and street girls will quote lower rates in pesos as they think you are not stupid noobs. You will be surprised how low HK and Chavelas girls would be happy to go with pesos. Street girls will quote 400 pesos for sexo sin ropa, or about $22, but if paid in dollar it becomes $30 or 600 pesos since they cannot convert quickly.
ATMs inside HK and hotel Cascada charge 90 pesos terminal fee plus whatever your cards charge you for transaction and international fees. Schwab refunds all fees, terminal and transaction. Schwab's exchange rate is about the same or better than cambios.
HSBC ATMs charge 190 pesos terminal fee plus their exchange rate is about 7% lower than street cambios. All credit cards assess a $10 cash advance fee before all other fees.
There is very high probability your ATM cards will be hacked at any machine in Tijuana. Happened to me and my wingmen again and again. It may be better to buy Amex traveler checks and cash them at banks as needed.
It is better to use peso's. You get a better price. When you use dollars you always pay more. The other problem people tend to round up to the higher price.

Cannot have sinners spending their hard earnings on themselves, when they can be donating it to the church. Send them to jail on felony charges if they are going to Sin and not make their weekly donations.
Pastor Ken needs a new indoor swimming pool for his church owned $6 million house, because $700 million net worth is tied up under Covid times. Same with Pastor Tom whose net worth have shrunk to $150 million. Pastor Pat is literally starving and his net worth is now down to $100 million. Pastor Joel is almost homeless as his assets have dropped to $40 million. He may have to fly first class with peasants instead of using his personal leer jet.

(Looking over my shoulder for ClammySlammy to incorrect my math.).
ATM fees can be reasonable, or not, depending upon which network your ATM is on. The real killer is the exchange rates the ATMs are starting to charge.
I used to use my Schwab ATM card all the time, because they refunded my fees. But now I just go to money-changers. And apparently, the best money-changer rates are from those located just north of the border.

They are passing that infrastructure bill on the way to $3. 5 T. I wonder how high prices are going to skyrocket? Hopefully my assets follow suit as the banks definitely don't pay you enough interest on your money to keep it with them. SoCal RE jumped 25% in 1 year on a median of $700 k so $175 k in equity built in one year on each property that someone owns. Cash is flowing in SoCal. Enjoy while it lasts. If the markets dump, then there goes the neighborhood and parents pension plans and retirement acct. Tied to the equity markets.California RE uptick is unrelated to any $3.5 T bill being discussed and not passed. People pay for RE what they feel like. If there are others that want to pay more, the price will go to that amount. Supply and demand. One thing I know is that there is such a wealth gap especially after the $3 T tax cut in 2017 for mainly already rich people, so those people drive up prices. RE is cyclical. Back in the day, RE never went down. Now it's like a stock but has hard assets. None of it has to do with a bill in Congress that hasn't passed.

I bought some PMs (precious metals) earlier in the year and adding some more slowly. Going to start buying some Crypto too. Not that complicated but as explained to me need buy a hardware cold storage wallet (like a USB) that only the holder can access since on-line accounts are at risk due to hacking or Coinbase locking accounts when they see fit. Not getting real extravagant with it but plan on buying some Bitcoin, Ether and some XRP when I see dips and not a large percentage of my holdings. My full time job could be pursuing and manning my investments every day but my portfolio not that relatively large and still need work a regular job for 1-3 more years +/-. Is fun for me like another hobby that helps feed my lady habit which I don't spend that much on cause I don't date in the USA (and now won't even consider hobbying in Texas).

With the exchange rate being about 19.5 pesos per dollar, you can often find sellers rounding their price up to 20:1. In that case, you'll get a bit better deal buying with dollars.You are right. With the exchange rate just below 20:1, you are losing out if you use quick mental math to figure a price. It's a small amount, but can add up.
The bars in the zona peg their prices to the dollar. What that means is that when the exchange rate changes, they change the PESO price, not the DOLLAR price. At 18:1, a beer is $4 or 72 p. If the rate moves to 19:1, the beer is $4 or 76 p. So if you give the guy a $20, he is going to bring you back $16 and you can tip him $1. If you give him a 200 p note he'll bring back 124 p or maybe 128 p or maybe 120 p. If you are lucky. The waiters know that Americans are not as familiar with the money. He may offer you a 50 p note and a small pile of change. If you can look at it and know that it is 74 p in coins, that's great. A lot of guys will pick up the single 50 p bill and leave the change as a tip, not knowing they tipped almost the full price of the beer. Best would be to pick up all the coins and then leave 10 p as the tip.
Bottom line, if you are not perfectly comfortable translating prices in your head and recognizing foreign money in a dark, noisy bar after having a few drinks, stick with dollars. Use pesos on the street.

A few months back I was considering visiting some AMPs but now oh hell no!The US is indeed headed towards Weimar. However, I do not think anyone knows exactly when that will happen. When it does occur we will not be as civilized as Germany was, there will be hordes of individuals with guns in the streets, neighborhoods and rural areas roaming and searching out anyone with precious metals and especially food, in houses, groceries, supermarkets, cars and other means of transportation. You ask about the police? They will be led by police.
In my opinion, use pesos if you are regular that go to Tijuana at least once a week. If you are not a weekly regular, use dollars because you are going to fuck it up and over pay when you use money that feels like monopoly money.

When I walk across from San Ysidro into Tijuana at initial pedestrian Migracion building, not the airport, and request a 5 day FMM permit and be as vague as possible, will they be cool and hand it over or are they going to press for exact details and call me out for abusing a loophole (which I am but that's aside the point) and demand immediate full payment?
If they see I'm from TX not CA am I pretty much SOL? When trip ends I'm flying Tijuana to Monterrey then same day bus back to Texas.

If they see I'm from TX not CA am I pretty much SOL? When trip ends I'm flying Tijuana to Monterrey then same day bus back to Texas.Didn't know about the 5 day FMM. I got tired of telling them I was visiting the dentist and they got tired of me going to the dentist so I just purchased the 6 month tourist visa for $30 and now I don't need to worry about it. I just told them I am planning on traveling down Baja and then also later traveling to Mexico City and other places. When I just mention first I was going to Mexico City they said get the visa at the airport. But when I told them I was traveling down Baja they then said I could buy the visa for $30 (but only on a credit card) for some reason.
Anyway I have it now and it's nice to have.

Progressives by and large are in favor of decriminalizing sex work, and are behind most of the recent decriminalization push in the US. DAs in a number of counties will no longer prosecute sex work, and repeals of various "loitering for sex" laws are being passed in many cities run by the Democrats:

Are you now going to tell us that Manhattan and LOS Angeles are being run by conservatives?
And I realize those laws aren't going as far as completely legalize sex work, but they are still a step in the right direction. Certainly way better direction that State of Texas is going, which as we all know is run by a bunch of religious conservative republican nutbags.

I went ahead and did 180 days but a poster on MTY thread mentioned 7 days or less is free. I didn't know 7 or less free or would have tried that first. I would think if have a printed out FMM stating no charge it would be hard for them to phuck you.

(met some very strong willed women but some easy ones too) but what about Western Europe? Western Europe very liberal and strong on rights for women but also p-tution tolerated.
I don't think this TX law coming from the lib. side. I think it is related to all the extra humans being trafficked in lately and more measures by conservs to rapidly deport those undocumented pimps and organized crime that exploit these recently imported women (johns unfortunately happen to bear the pain).
But then who really knows? Afghanistan (Taliban and sharia law) yesterday 31st of August 2021 reverted back to the stone ages with zero rights for women (sad).
Things certainly quieter right now than in long time. Bars are open in USA so Tijuana is not the only place to go drink anymore. The travel restrictions and covid issues definitely cutting down on men here and hence cutting down on woman. Still a ton options but of the guys don't show up the woman go home quicker.

Some version of Weimar is coming if the fed doesn't raise rates substantially to stop inflation. They stick with this transitory BS we are all done. The problem is if they raise rates, they will pop every bubble they created the last 12 years. Can you imagine what the real estate market will look like with 6 or 7 percent mortgage rates. Unfortunately they know this and will not do the right thing, and raise rates. Rents have doubled in the last 10 years where I live. That's 10 percent a year, and they are saying it's only 2 percent. They are liars and sociopaths.

When they vacate I raise it to market, but problem is no one leaves. Just remember that inflation is a silent tax and the debtor wins during high inflation. Can you guess who is the largest debtor at the moment? You pay back today's low fixed rates with tomorrow's cheaper dollar. It is a fiat currency and it is known as inflation induced debt destruction. Across the board everything has gone up and the Fed knows that if they tank the equity markets, then they will take with it the pension plans and economy. Do you take the hard route and swallow the pill now or later?
Hard to imagine how things are unfolding, but glad I prepared and worked my tail off. Sometimes hard to imagine how I got to where I am looking back, but it has been a hell of a journey from an orphan eating out of a garbage can to whatever the future holds. I try to stay optimistic as I've been blessed every step of the way. Survived 2 war zones, lost friends, still wondering why I'm still here, but we all have a purpose in this life.

Hence a house in San Diego is 800 k but can only get 200 k back East. Or a 2 b /2 b apartment is 2 grand here, but can barely get 800 bucks a month back East. In other words, they do not see California when making decisions.

One of the main driving forces is feminism, and the feminists are completely, and utterly, against prostitution because it's a symptom of the male patriarchy and all women who work in that "industry" are exploited and trafficked. I have radical feminists in the family so I get to hear this shit up close.
You are correct in one regard. The "decriminalization" aspect. But it's not decriminalization as in not prosecuting the crime. It's decriminalizing the "selling" of sex. But they will not decriminalize the buying of sex. That isn't as illogical as it sounds. It's 100% anti-man and completely fits the feminist world view.
You will note that, in your examples, they are declining to prosecute the women. It says nothing about not prosecuting their clientele. This is a far cry from "legalizing" prostitution.

In other words, they do not see California when making decisions.CA is worse than you think. I have developers for clients. Everybody who lives in CA wants it to be exactly the same way as it was when they arrived. This crap started in the 1970's. So, they passed all sorts of laws against building housing, and especially high-density housing, I. E. Apartment buildings.
Now, when a developer wants to build an apartment building, or even a housing tract, it turns into a death match between the developer and the State and local governments, as well as every citizen's group with an axe to grind. Things then drag out for years. Meanwhile, people keep wanting to move here, families expand, whatever, putting more and more pressure on existing housing stock. Hence, the prices skyrocket.
Eventually, the log jam breaks, the developer (s) start going hammer and tongs, building the housing. Prices collapse as more stock comes online. Some developers go broke. Prices decline. Idiots who bought at the top of the market are upside down in their mortgage. And on and on. Then the cycle repeats itself.
Few other states have the roller-coaster real estate prices of CA. Mostly because when new housing is needed, the State / Local governments tend to approve the construction in a much quicker manner.

I check every now and then and they have doubled in value past 2-5 years. I kick myself, but used the profits to buy higher cash flow and appreciation opportunities, no regrets. Housing is a bundle of commodities that includes labor. It isn't going to be any cheaper to build with the increased regulation, skilled labor shortage, and increase in taxes. Also the mass migration of illegals is going to hurt vacancy rates. I have some rentals listed and first day get 50-100 inquiries.
Also stating they dont see CA doesnt make sense. The state is the 5th largest economy in the world. CA and NY control the U.S. just based on representation. Probably explains the dumpster fire we have at the moment. I can see another terrorist attack in near future and the military industrial complex dragging us into another war. I bet Pelosi and insiders already invested in defense stocks.

Survived 2 war zones, lost friends, still wondering why I'm still here, but we all have a purpose in this life.All these debtors that have properties will own their properties free and clear if we have hyperinflation but that's no panacea. You are talking about a economic collapse no one in the first world has ever seen. You will have no pricing power as a landlord because no one will have a job for you to rent to. Sure, you will have protected your cash by converting to real estate but the real estate is still going to crash in value when no one has a job.
Imagine a scenario where millions of illegals just showed up over the last 2 years and then really high inflation kicks in. Rates will have to go to 10 percent or more to make any kind of dent. America defaults on its over 30 trillion in debt, housing collapses, and stocks sell off 70 percent: this is mad max type shit. The Fed opened a Hellraiser box in 2008 by doing this QE bullshit and Pinhead is now coming to collect 12 years later.

Sex work decriminalization laws are not perfect, and they say nothing about solicitation and consumption. But they are still a positive step in the right direction. And if cops stop raiding massage parlors and handcuff street walkers. That's going to reduce arrests and prosecution of men as well. Again, way better than the alternative that we see in Republican run states like Texas and Florida (to lesser extend).

Taking on feminists movements and religious fanatics with their huge resources, experiences and connections in state and federal legislature may be a way too massive and difficult effort.
It seems easier and more feasible to effect changes at local level. Local prostitution is usually selectively enforced by municipal government, driven primarily by pressure from local residents and businesses when their rights are abused and interests harmed by people and businesses associated with the sex trades. They would complain and local elected officials would have to allocate resources to solve problems within the confinements of existing laws.
It's very well-known and accepted that there are huge needs to buy and sell sex, evidenced by an ongoing underground market worth billions every year, which inherently has lots of abuses, exploitation, crimes and wraths to people and communities. A win-win solution must involve gives and takes that offer both benefits and constraints to both sides.
Perhaps neighborhoods blighted with prostitution and crimes would have incentives to petition city halls to confine those activities and businesses to specific vice zones where they are tolerated but isolated from homes, legit businesses, schools, churches ect, so they would not infringe upon the rights and benefits of residents and businesses, so they would stop complaining. These are the zona roja or zona tolerancia models in other countries. The vice zones would be easier and less costly for authorities to prevent crimes, protect workers, tax revenues.
Cities with areas of high crimes, declining property values, ruined businesses, heavy traffic, street nuisances, disturbances of normal life ect like Santa Ana, LOS Angeles, Chula Vista, Sacramento may have good incentives for residents to propose concentrating vice activities into special vice zones where prostitution is not prosecuted, but supervised and levied special zone taxes.
Experiences gained in governing these vice zones may be later used to amend state laws, if any individuals or organization ever have balls to champion the cause and put it in a ballot.
Park at the trolley stations and take a ride to San Ysidro $2. 50 one way. Takes more time out of your life, but up to you on how much you want to spend. Free overnight parking.Free parking only for 24 hours though right? From what it says on the website.

The progressives and feminists that I know tend (overwhelmingly) to support a woman's right to choose what she does with their own bodies. Man-hating is not really a part of the progressive or feminist agenda.Have you been to a Women's Studies department in any major university lately? The feminist movement got co-opted by the radical lesbian left many years ago, back during Carter's "Year of the Woman. " Maybe you're too young to remember. The leftist lesbian agenda is now part and parcel of the feminist agenda.

Scenario: Man pays massage "therapist" and is having sex. Cops bust in and find them in flagrante. Who gets arrested? Well, the one committing the crime, I. E. The man. Purchasing sex is illegal. Who gets sent to counseling because she's a victim of trafficking? The woman. Selling sex is legal (or at least decriminalized) and all prostitutes are victims. I don't want to be right, but tell me how that wouldn't happen under the new law?

Answer: A whole can of whoop ass would come out, the cartels would execute them and display their decapitated heads period. Thanks thanks thanks God for the cartels in this regard!
Also think about how USA with all its armament and feminism kissed kissed kissed Talibans ass on its way out of Afghanistan and now essentially zero women's right and the place reverts back to the stone ages??? WTF?
Bottom line is most (but not all) women are smaller and weaker than men and when push comes to shove and bullets start flying (read there could be a new Civil War in USA In our lifetimes or invasion force from China or Al Queda etc.) all this feminism crap goes away really phucking quick.
Think too you plop one of these man womans into Iran or Afghan how long they last? They absolute hate hate hate transgender, is against Sharia and the Quran.
I'm not very religious but I know both the Christian New Testament and the Islamic Quran rooted back to the Jewish Old Testament. All of these have women as subservient to men. With 50 years+ U.S. feminist movement and it spreading like a cancer around the world there will be a time of great conflict and destruction where it will revert back to man before woman!
Sorry just my several pesos.

I would try Palm Ave, Palomar St, or H St.I'm at these stations all the time. 2 nights in a row there's 99% chance you won't get a ticket. I see cars not moving for days at a time. They do enforce things though. I've seen them towing, and writing tickets. If you come back drunk and 1 am and sleep it off they will be there at sunrise and see you. I've also seen them undercover at stations in groups of cops. There's a whole element of law enforcement agencies in San Diego that are monitoring things. Like homeland security which is all over San Diego this week in unusual spots like the bay looking for people coming in from Mexico.

What did you tell them you were coming for? I'm not sure what to tell them when I cross on Tuesday.Audiologist. Pointed to my hearing aids. He wanted to actually see an appointment.
Free parking only for 24 hours though right? From what it says on the website.
https://www.sdmts.com/rider-info/transit-station-parking
Have you been able to park at trolley stations for more than 24 hours? My trip will prolly be for 2 nights? So def 24 hours +.I think street parkingn ok in most streets for 72 hrs. It may be a California default. Unless there are signs posted stating otherwise.
So. You could park in a closeby street and take trolley.
That's what I plan to do when I move to San Diego.

How's Sundays looking at the San Ysidro ped crossing around 9 am? Leaving in the morning.
The link shows number of parking spots on each trolley stations: https://www.sdmts.com/rider-info/transit-station-parking.
I doubt anyone enforces the 24 hour parking rule at the stations with 200+ parking spots. I would try Palm Ave, Palomar St, or H St.I always park on the H Street trolley car parking or Palomar St but mainly from 6 PM - 7 PM to 1 AM. - 5 to 6 hours in Zona Norte is enough for me. One way to San Ysidro is $ 2. 50 (senior $ 1. 25). The last trolley from San Ysidro 12 28 AM and 12 58 AM. Next trolley after 430 AM. On each trolley parking lot there are cameras placed on top of the street lamps. It seems that someone is watching and if you park for more than 24 hours, it can be a problem eg towing.
What did you tell them you were coming for? I'm not sure what to tell them when I cross on Tuesday.If you want to enter Mexico easily and money is not a problem for you, just say that you want to buy a 180 day visa for $ 30. No questions asked and 5 minutes later you are in Tijuana.
If you want to enter Mexico easily and money is not a problem for you, just say that you want to buy a 180 day visa for $ 30. No questions asked and 5 minutes later you are in Tijuana.A lot of this is hit or miss depending on the immigration officer, it seems. I got 180 days regardless and paid zero!
If you read my post carefully, you may notice that I referred to "feminists I know", not the wing-nuts hanging out (hiding out) in academia. You're talking about extreme cases, while I'm talking about pretty much everyone I know, men as well as women.
In fact, I suspect that you are actually a feminist. Do you believe in equal pay for equal work? How about the right to choose an abortion? Do you think Donald Trump should be allowed to "grab her by the p*ssy" without her consent?
These things are what feminism is about, not hating men.Oh, OK. Everyone is a closet feminist. You got to get out more.
The equal pay for equal work canard has been around since I was a little kid. It's bullshit now, and it was bullshit then. If it were true, then 100% of men would be unemployed. If I could cut my labor costs by (insert percentage du jour here) across the board, I'd fire all the men and hire only women. The stockholders would be overjoyed. Unless, of course, I can convince my board of directors to keep the men, at the greater salaries, just to stick it to those women. Yeah, right. Tell that story walking, bub.
No, I don't think a woman should have an unassailable right to kill off a fetus whenever she feels like it. Unless she conceived via immaculate conception, there was a father involved and he's 50% of the equation. A couple is pregnant. She says she want to kill it, the guy has no say. OTOH, if she wants it, but the guy doesn't, she keeps it AND the guy is on the hook financially for 18 years, regardless of his wishes. You call this fair? You give women the ultimate power of life or death anytime from conception to after the child is born, and you've created some female Ubermensch. This is patently unfair to men, and shows a hatred of them. Women are not superior beings, they are one half of the whole.
Trump never grabbed any women. The point he was illustrating is one that many feminists (and apparently yourself) hate to admit, and too many soy boys can't comprehend. If you have shitloads of money, and some power, women absolutely throw themselves at you. You can grab them wherever and whenever you want and they're thrilled. This is one thing I've learned over the years. Even the die-hard feminists, if they're straight, love bad boys. Especially rich bad boys.
Now, Mr. Feminist, let's say you have a son who enrolls in college. Something happens. There's a party, perhaps. Maybe there's alcohol. Perhaps many students are in various stages of inebriation. Who knows? Then some female student goes to the dean of whichever department, and claims your son raped her. Maybe he did, maybe he never touched her, maybe there was consensual sex. Who knows? Then he gets hit with the complaint and brought up on "charges" of rape during the campus investigation. The charges may be (and often are) completely anonymous. He can't defend himself because he has no idea who is doing the complaining. The girl's story will be believed because she's female and women never lie about rape. The boy will be guilty until proven innocent, which is impossible. He'll be deprived of all due process, he may get banned from campus, he may have an entire career shot to hell. All of this in the name of feminism. If this were to happen to a relative of yours, would you still call yourself a feminist?
Let's look at bellwether Sweden. It's about as feminist as you can get. The running gag there (Swedish humor is an oxymoron, but still) when something odd happens, is "That's rape in Sweden. " A Swedish prosecutor no longer has to prove violence or coercion. Sex happened, the women says she didn't consent, bam. Rape. And women must be believed. A Swedish man is guilty of a felony if he pays for sex, but a women gets off scot free if she tries to sell sex. If a Swedish man travels abroad, perhaps to a country where such activity is perfectly legal, and pays for sex, he's committed a crime in Sweden and can be prosecuted upon his return to his home country. This is feminism and manifests a deep resentment, if not hatred, of men. That garbage about equal pay and my body, my choice, is bunk. And my body, my choice only applies to killing a baby, but not to Covid shots, that's for sure. So, I am not a feminist and proud of it.

Unless there are signs posted otherwise, parking is unlimited on residential streets except posted street sweeping days and hours. Tow trucks and cops usually follow sweepers and are just too happy to write tickets and tow cars to fatten the cities' coffers and towing companies. This happens a lot in towns near beaches and the border.
The streets off San Ysidro Blvd have some parking spaces, depending on days. Weekends are difficult. Watch posted signs carefully and don't park too close to stores as shop keepers may put nails in your tires or call tow trucks to do illegal tows.
The street along the rail road track has plenty of parking, but cars are broken into regularly.
Park and Ride and trolley lots sometimes have traffic cops put white chalk marks on tires of suspicious cars. After 24 hours, they may tow or issue parking tickets, $50 to $90 depending on cities. Some cities have procedures to contest parking tickets by mail. If you cause them a lot of work, they may dismiss the tickets.
Have you been able to park at trolley stations for more than 24 hours? My trip will prolly be for 2 nights? So def 24 hours +.
Personally parking near the border usually not a problem. A few years back my car was towed by the Goodwill. There is some gravel on other side of the street. The business owners put up these now parking tow away signs. They were trying to claim these signs were valid for a public street. They were also trying to claim that I was parked on private property. There was no marker to indicate where private property began. Was going to try and fight the tow. I went to city planning office and found out there was no clear indication property line was. The other problem is that you have to take the towing company to small claims court and prove they were wrong.

Saturday night, security was extremely heavy for some reason. Mex National guards dismounted and made foot patrols to a couple of business. Wtf? Saw them again in La Perla but they were only ordering out. LOL. Then crossing back in the Sentri line, CPB asked me to pop the trunk. But this time, he really took his time and searched under all of my shit. I thought he was going to climb into the trunk and look for ISIS.

Saturday night there were no policia patrol cars around La Zona Norte, but 2 pick up trucks each with 10 soldiers in full battle fatigues, steel helmets, armed with auto rifles, knives, grenades, looking like fierce warriors, a 5. 56 mm Squad Auto Weapon poised on top of the cab pointing straight ahead. They kept driving around and around the bar block looking very threatening. Meanwhile street dealers were in the alley and Constitucion yelling sales calls "cuanto, cuanto."
The soldiers were probably under orders to patrol how many hours, how many miles a day, so they just picked the best routes with the best views of half naked street putas to drool over. They were just out showing force obviously with no aim to attack the violent cartels or curbing drugs trade. It looked comical like a circus.
I feel sorry for these poor young soldiers working hard for pennies. One time en route to Ensenada a group of them were standing in the intense heat of midday sun in full battle fatigues, checking cars, sweating like pigs. I gave them a couple cans of cold Coke and they were grateful. Damn hard life. Some trained elite soldiers just desert and went over to work for the cartels, more money, less work, hanging out in the barrios in the shade all day, more tequila, drugs and pussies at night, feeling good about poisoning Gringos and Gringas with drugs, cheered on by left-leaning pols and their acolytes.
It's hard for the government to win this war. It will need bigger trucks and truck loads more pesos.

Caravans are pouring in. They don't need to sneak in. Just get 1 foot over border and they have to be processed released and working in Walmart in virgina in 48 hours. Otherwise they may sit in Mexico for 2 years waiting for appointments. Border patrol has been all over San Diego this week. A lot of boats showing up in middle night at sunset cliffs. Today I saw a. Blonde American walking in, she was wearing tight black outfit ready to give birth any day. They gave her the 3rd degree as they were worried she's just showing up to pop a baby in usa for papers.
The equal pay for equal work canard has been around since I was a little kid. It's bullshit now, and it was bullshit then.
I never said women were getting equal pay; I said it was what feminists wanted.
Trump never grabbed any women.
There's over two dozen women out there who say otherwise. And by his all-so-public bragging, he thinks it's more than OK.

Let's look at bellwether Sweden. It's about as feminist as you can get. (...) A Swedish prosecutor no longer has to prove violence or coercion. Sex happened, the women says she didn't consent, bam. Rape.
I think "sex without consent" is the definition of rape in just about the entire industrialized world. By your definition of rape, a man who drugs a woman, and then performs a sex act upon her, (without "violence or coercion") is not guilty of rape.
And women must be believed.
If that were true, Sweden would have a high conviction rate, which it doesn't. In fact, Sweden has been widely criticized for its low conviction rate.

Long day flying and messing around in San Diego. Took a $6 day pass on trolley to bridge.
Entering Mexico, stopped to check my person / wallet and a group of 20 people passed me to the start of line. Didn't think that would be a big deal, until I saw one agent working the entrance gradually allowing people in what seemed to take forever.
He did give me my free 7 day permit, hope it holds up for upcoming flight Monday.
Needed to drop off luggage at Motel Reno somewhat south of Centro.
Once across, was afraid to hail Uber, so instead rode a $1 communal minivan ride to Centro, ordered Uber from there and got to motel. It was 12:45 am, was sleep deprived but figured could salvage one street girl.
Rode back to ZN, and I was definitely rusty. Forgot unlike in MTY, the Tijuana girls everything is itemized. Nude is extra, BJ is extra, and none of them offered DATY. Was not in mood to be pressured by clubs in tired state.
Found one girl 600 p for BJ and mish, 100 p for house. Girl was cold fish.
Sunday, Newly made East Border entrance is temp closed, eventually walked to default West Border (should've ridden cab, didn't know about closure).
BUT at 10 am the line was non-existent took all of 10 minutes to get thru.
On trolley back to San Diego writing this. Hoping late afternoon bears better. Vaguely remember Sunday afternoons have better negotiating chances than the stonewalled set pricing on Saturday nights. Also tempted to see if La Cueva Bar is real deal.
Anyone for / need wingman Sunday Sept 5 let me know.

Heads up! Don't be like me! At pedestrian entry, when they ask purpose of visit: just say Essential pharmaceuticals or Dental ASAP treatment. Or me from last night "bus ride to Juarez"
Do NOT be like me and say "zona norte" or "club girls".
Here's what happened next:
Either is a valid concern that went into effect this afternoon OR I marked myself as guy with loose money to burn.
Agent states "Mexico is closed to non-essential travel due to pandemic, so in order to enter Tijuana to hit clubs even for less than 3 hours you need a $30 permit. The free 7 day permit is for leisure tourism which is not open at this time. Please deposit $30 to enter Mexico."
I countered with a long winded babble. I was seriously prepared to own up to my own slip up and she'll out the 30 usd. But eventually they got tired of my broken record spiel and informed me they'll go ahead and let it slide this time and waved me in.
Typing this up back seat of Uber incident happened barely 30 minutes ago.

CenTexCrash had his own way to fight for his rights. Good people should resist abusive bullies for the good of the public.
When shaken down by Mexican policia, Immigration, any real or fake authorities, arguing for your rights or protection under the laws, using any legal, moral, compassionate reasons will usually frustrate the bullies enough that they would back down and let you go, so they can target the next easy cowards to make quick money to spend on meth, tequilas and putas.
60,000 passenger vehicles, 33,000 pedestrians and 3,000 trucks cross into Mexico at San Yisdro every single day. They don't pay $30. Why should you bend over and offer it to the retarded Imm apes?

I haven't even been asked why I'm entering Tijuana. I hand the agent my passport and printed FMM. He / she tears it in half, gives me my portion of the FMM back, stamps my passport and waives me in.

Some of the worst bar girls with the stinkiest pussies would have balls to ask for money upfront then tips after their disgusting sessions. Of course I would never give them any.
No. Bar girls and street girls are usually fair with their deals and expect no tips. But if I find those who are really nice, sweet, sexy, trusting, I would give them may be 20% after sessions. Some girls in the next session would crank up their prices to a new level in their sweet, helpless ways. I would have to negotiate it down again.
A lot of girls are young and tender, new to the sex trade. Lots, if not most, Mexican girls are abused and exploited by predatory guys and people around them, even within their own families. They appreciate love, care, acts of kindness, and will likely reciprocate. Go ahead and trust your instincts, have fun and develop relationships with girls. The potential loss would be small but you may find new sweet friends.
My wingmen, some cannot speak a word of Spanish, but have gotten series of hot GFs in HK give them long BB MSOG just being nice, gentle, generous with them. One was so horny after the flight in, she took my wingman to the hotel for a long session knowing he already ran out of money.
A few wingmen were very nice, generous guys, spent all their money for fichas then gave all they had to their girls in the room. At the end of the night I had to loan them money for food and drinks. But they did make some very sweet friends, embracing and kissing them on the street not wanting to let go hehe.
Do you tip the girls after doing the deed?
Are they expecting tips? If so how much.
Are they expecting tips? If so how much.
Are they expecting tips? If so how much.No. I don't see the point. Good providers never ask for tips and don't care. The only people that ask for tips are greedy and trashy ones so you can easily decline anyways.

With pre-printed FMM they didn't ask me any questions.I can always get the FMM when I'm crossing right? Or is it just quicker / saves time if I bring pre-printed? Little nervous about not having a passport as mines still getting renewed. But seems like mongers have been able to cross no problem w / o passport.

But seems like mongers have been able to cross no problem w / o passport.Mexico does not accept a photo copy of the passport. If you do ot have a passport you have two options. Drive in, or walk or request to pay the 20 dollar admittance fee for people with no passport. It's not official but they know what you are saying. Don't ask to bribe anyone with money. In this case they won't look at any Identification. You won't be given any paperwork or 6 month travel pass. 3rd option is to walk in on Mexican line with only a small back pack or less and don't look at the guy don't say Hello,. If you look Latino there's 999% chance he won't stop you. If you look black or Chinese there's 90% chance he will stop you. If you look white and walk fast don't look, for myself, I am stopped 30% of the time.

Preprinting may help but I think they still want to see a passport. You might be able to try a $20 bribe. If that doesn't work and you get turned away. You can always try getting a ride in.

2 pm, Used my 6 month visa entry, walked right in. Saved a hot 30-40 minutes. Bienvenidos! Would everything run this perfect? Of course not. LOL. Booked a $65 single a week ago with a request for a upstairs quiet room. Sorry sir, rates are now $75. Reception guy says hotel is fully booked, you're not getting an upper quiet floor. Are you a VIP? I suppose if I was he would have tried to help me. Since I'm booked for 1 night, non VIP, I get a third floor room, 1 door and 5 up-steps for the most famous ST room's in Cascada. This negates my plan of avoiding the ST hustle as music base, loud workers, and knock boy walkie talkies can be heard through my door. In my opinion, stacks the odds against me at separating the bar and the girl.
Since I already banged out a decent but non-inspired repeat SG around 2:30 pm, showered up, I head out to get some grub away from the Zona. I'm wearing my Tijuana outfit: dirty nike's, beat up surf hat, plain no style dark colored T and shorts. I'm definitely looking like a Chula Vista cross border gringo native. To top things off, I even went full 'method' and left my brand new Hummer H2 and Maserati in my garage and drove down in my very old Home Depot pick up truck LOL.
Google Maps makes many food places on Revo seem decent, in reality they are total dives. As I walked past Ceasars at 4:30 pm there must have been 20+ people waiting to be seated, must be decent. I finally settled at Tia Juana Tilly's across from Las Pulgas. It didn't look great but I got tired of searching for a spot. I don't need to go back, neither do you. After an hour decent massage, I'm rested and ready for round 2.
I figure my options are A) take the Hong Kong $100+ wine and dine YMMV gamble or B) salvage my 21 hour cascada ST room and find Jimena or similar higher quality SG that works the back alley Cascada door. I'm 90% intent on crossing Jimena off the bucket list and her style fits my loud room well.
Heading back through the alley around 8+pm I am sensing a shortage of talent. I'm approaching Chavalas door and see Jimena waiting behind door #1 on 'let's make a deal'. She's a shark, she's already spotted my glance from waaay far away. Man her talent at reading eyeballs? But I figure, it's also peak HK / Chavalas time. I have to see what's behind door #2? Jimena will be there waiting every 15 minutes or 30. So I veer right to grab a quick beer. If I don't spot anything friendly and certain I'm out for door #1.
Chavalas has a handful of top level talent in the door ways, maybe doing service time. But the Banda is blasting and I can hardly hear my thoughts. I make eye contact with a tall slender 24-25 year old 9-10 scale and she's giving me the solid eye contact back, "come and talk to me". She's smoking hot and now I'm stuck in a mode of indecisiveness, over thinking as always. I look down at my freshly minted $8 camo colored Walmart Digital watch and it kills my mojo a tad as I debate what to scream into this hotties ear. I blow the natural timing on my eye contact welcome and divert into HK for a tour of the place. I spot a few I would pay for coming or going but the vibe in that place is so chaotic it's hard to approach without losing leverage of being non-committed. In my opinion if the chica knows you are 100% all in at "Hello," $100, why the hell would she agree to let you do x, why, and z as part of the arrangement. I get tired of big game hunting and head to the street where the target is stationary only to find my target is not there. That's ok, its not even 9 pm I'll take a stroll and check out the scene at other clubs and wait for my turn at the pump;).
Adelita bar. No bueno, maybe 2-3 girls I'the pay for of course my Asian buds are tied up with them LOL. Tables of guys sitting around with 28-38 year old out shape slutty fruit cart vendors. I often envy these dudes as I'm always on the hunt. I just can't do it. Maybe all the extra's they serve make up for it.
Chicago Club. Great music, cool laid back scene. I don't think I saw 1 lady I would pay for. Interesting note, as I was exiting I saw a Korean dude mid 40's hard to tell exact age accountant style taking up a heavily tatted older somewhat cute thicker style girl. I was quite surprised by that rare selection. Made me realize I'm definitely a cheetah in this jungle.
Tropical Bar. Walk in 3 younger style ladies sitting with frowns on the left upon entry.
One of them in more of a bathing suit **** wear making a bit more eye contact and eagerness to engage. Must be possible up and comer's. The newness factor had me interested and the cute one had a more petite build and jeans on. As I second glanced she appeared the most disinterested. Overall, talent level was average. Again nothing eye catching in that place.
Head back to the Alley no 'J' Cascada starlet. Perhaps she took the evening off and was basically gone from 8:30 - 10 pm. Perhaps some hours for anyone looking for her. She has an early Sunday, hit her quota, or got bought out by one of the many over paying mongers on this site LOL. Or at least this night.
Ended the evening with a capture something quickly before both heads go limp and it was better than expected considering the 2 whiffs I had already made being indecisive. I barely made it before the Monday morning surge at 4:30 am about 45 people in front of me, only took 15 minutes because they doubled the agents at that time. Still, at 5 am - 6 am I'm guessing the waits would not be fun 45 minutes ++. All car lanes were backed up FAR at that time.
I'll be channeling my inner Eminem over the next few weeks, hoping to not waste good opportunities on my next visit.
Just crossed the border from San Ysidro into Tijuana for the very first time. Had no issues getting thru the border with a dentist "appt" without paying the $30 fee. Just checked in the Cascadas which has a poorly run check in process. If any Tijuana vets would like to hang, please PM me. Had my tours of duty in Asia but besides a trip to Cartagena, Boca Chica, and Jaco over a 10 year period I am a newbie in this hemisphere. Not looking to hang with any wild cowboys just cool guys who can appreciate some bar talk. Safe travels.
...3rd option is to walk in on Mexican line with only a small back pack or less and don't look at the guy don't say Hello,. If you look Latino there's 999% chance he won't stop you. If you look black or Chinese there's 90% chance he will stop you. If you look white and walk fast don't look, for myself, I am stopped 30% of the time.Regarding option 3, is it fair to assume that if they stop me, they would just ask me to go back. No additional trouble, such as a big fine? Thanks.
So glad we have folks here who have the experience.
I am in Zona Norte for the Labor Day.
Anybody wants to party together?
You are allowed to present a receipt of a passport application. The Mexican immigration officials will accept this. With a FMM card the immigration officers typically only look to see that you have and see that it has not expired sometimes. It is possible that they might accept a print out of passport application status from the state department web site. I would not count on this however.
Mexico does not accept a photo copy of the passport. If you do ot have a passport you have two options. Drive in, or walk or request to pay the 20 dollar admittance fee for people with no passport. It's not official but they know what you are saying. Don't ask to bribe anyone with money. In this case they won't look at any Identification. You won't be given any paperwork or 6 month travel pass. 3rd option is to walk in on Mexican line with only a small back pack or less and don't look at the guy don't say Hello,.

The biggest problem is walking into Mexico they want to see a passport or passport card. Preprinting may help but I think they still want to see a passport. You might be able to try a $20 bribe. If that doesn't work and you get turned away. You can always try getting a ride in. Guys are selling rides into Mexico by the jack in the box corner.

Assuming from previous advice, I won't really have trouble coming back into the states so long as I can prove I'm a citizen?

You might have issues with the documents you are contemplating.
Tonight at 11 PM USCBP had everyone stopped at initial screening point. I stopped and waited to see what gives and contemplated going back to Cascadas and hunker down for the night. Saw someone else go up to USCBP agents and produce a card and they let him through so I showed both my valid passport card and valid global entry and no problem they let me through.

USCBP technically can't deny me entry if I'm a citizen? No passport, but I can provide a California drivers license or a photocopy of my birth certificate? Open to suggestions. Last thing I want to do is get stuck in fuckin Tijuana LOL.

They let me go, so unfortunately I didn't stick around to see what his outcome was.

If someone presents a expired passport they are automically sent to secondary. I had passport card that I found & did not realize that it was no longer valid. I requested a new passport earlier & was unaware that the old one had been cancelled. The CBP don't make a big deal about it they just check your info at secondary. The best thing to do is go to the processing center & apply for a new one. They will give yoo a receipt of application that you can show as proof when crossing. The passport cards are only $60 if cost is a concern.

The weather will keep getting hotter all week until Saturday. The weather is predicted to be a high of 87 before it starts cooling.
...When shaken down by Mexican policia, Immigration, any real or fake authorities, arguing for your rights or protection under the laws, using any legal, moral, compassionate reasons will usually frustrate the bullies enough that they would back down and let you go...When shaken down by US police would you argue with them for your rights or protection under the laws?

Before US cops write their tickets I would politely ask them what they stop me for and argue from there.
If they think you may be legal and there are margins of errors they may have made mistakes, plus you have not said or done anything to piss them off, lots of them have guilty conscience and would let you go without tickets. After they write their tickets I would just shut up and argue in court. It's very difficult for them to let drivers go without tickets as their stops are recorded and they do have ticket quotas to fill, but I have been let go 7 or 8 times by Cal Highway Patrol, 5 to 6 times by municipal cops. I do long drive back from Tijuana late at night at classified speeds, so I am a frequent target for CHP to pick on.
Twice my speeding tickets were dismissed by San Diego courts. The latest CHP speeding ticket I posted bail around $480 and did a trial by declaration. It was dismissed and bail refunded within 2 weeks due to CoVid closure. One CHP stop for peeing on the side of the Governor's freeway, I zipped up so quickly they had no evidence and had to let me go. The last CHP stop was after 2 AM in San Clemente North of Camp Pendleton, accused of driving at high speed in car pool lane in dense fog. Apparently he was following me a long distance in stealth mode trying to bust me for car pool lane violation, but the wingman was sleeping in a reclined seat on passenger side. I told the CHP officer I was just following traffic. He scoffed and said there was no traffic and he followed me a long way. He took down my driver license info and let me go, probably bad mouthed me in CHP records. My driver license and car plate showed up so often in CHP and CBP data bases, officers probably know all details about my life hehe.
If SWAT apes show up at your house in their armored vehicles, don't talk back or shoot back at them. Just surrender your ass then pursue other legal ways later or those mean bastards will put a lot of holes in you.
Anywhere in the world you go, try to understand your legal rights and make sure you defend them. Don't let stupid bastards bully and run you over. Teach them good lessons to become better humans.

Monday night we drove back about 11:30 crossed like usual in 10 minutes in SENTRI car lane, but PedEast was very long stretching way back past the pedestrian bridge and not moving. I have never seen PedEast line that long late at night, estimated 2 to 3 hours wait.
It was Monday end of Labor day weekend but most tourists and visitors crossed back around 5 to 7 PM, not near midnight, so looked like CBP was delaying or not processing pedestrians.
Restrictions Coming Back into USA This Evening.
This normal when the pedestrian line is long. The CBP lets people move in groups. The purpose is to avoid having to many people. You have to wait 15 or 20 minutes untill they let the next group of people move. I am fairly surprised the line was that long so late at night.

I crossed at San Ysidro twice back in 2020 during the "height" of COVID with a recently expired passport. USA Customs scanned my passport and let me through without saying anything even though it was expired. Passport I think had expired in May 2020 but I crossed in July and September 2020 without issue.
But going into Tijuana from the USA To Mexico I was quickly sent into the back room both times where I had to pay a bribe to cross into Tijuana. Those were the only two times I've ever been asked to pay the bribe going into Mexico.

Free parking only for 24 hours though right? From what it says on the website.
https://www.sdmts.com/rider-info/transit-station-parking
Have you been able to park at trolley stations for more than 24 hours? My trip will prolly be for 2 nights? So def 24 hours +.Been at least a year since I've parked at a trolley station but I've parked several times at the Palomar Street station for 36-48 hours with no issue. So it's definitely not a strict 24 hour rule. They're not really making the effort to watch the cars like that though if they notice a car in the same spot for several days my guess is they tow at that point. I think you could get away with 36-48 hours with no worries, maybe even a bit longer than that, but I suppose you could be taking a risk going over 2 days or so. But I really don't think they even care or watch the cars closely like that. They just don't want people abusing the free parking by parking there several days at a time. I'd also left my car way up in the Old Town station parking lot for 2-3 days once a few years ago and it was right where I left it when I came back.

When I walk across from San Ysidro into Tijuana at initial pedestrian Migracion building, not the airport, and request a 5 day FMM permit and be as vague as possible, will they be cool and hand it over or are they going to press for exact details and call me out for abusing a loophole (which I am but that's aside the point) and demand immediate full payment?
If they see I'm from TX not CA am I pretty much SOL? When trip ends I'm flying Tijuana to Monterrey then same day bus back to Texas.You never want to be "vague as possible" IMO. You want to have a clear and well-thought out excuse (I. E. , lie LOL). For example, with a "dental appointment" excuse you should have a name of the dentist office, location, and time of appointment thought out in advance in case they ask.
Would also recommend printing out an online version of the FMM ahead of time if you can. Mexican customs officials aren't too different from corrupt Mexican policia or the street thugs down in Zona Norte. They'll a lot of times focus on targets who they deem easiest to shake down. If you have the FMM printed and filled out ahead of time, it's strong evidence that you're an experienced border crosser (whether you actually are or not) who knows what he's doing. So they'll be a lot less likely to ask questions and shake you down for a bribe provided you have a valid passport. I have no evidence whatsoever to prove this but I'd be willing to bet money that those who come to customs with a completed FMM and a passport are a lot less likely to get jammed up and shaken down for a bribe than those who come to customs without one.
Once I got the FMM / Visa they Mexican immigration officials did not bother me again.

LOL I'm a newbie when it comes to Tijuana about to try and cross without (expired) a valid passport & a printed FMM w / fake passport dates (1 year out from when expiry).
I'm ok with paying the $20 bribe if needed all things considering. But anxious about getting turned away or gettin shaken down for more:

Hi,
I know I should have gotten a global entry, or one of the other entry passes. But, I was wondering, with all of the immigration issues I see on TV. How is it crossing with just a passport? Is it 1 hour, 2 or 3 ? Each way.

But anxious about getting turned away or gettin shaken down for more:I think if you don't have a valid, unexpired passport it's pretty much a guarantee they'll send you to the back room for a bribe. Only exception would be if you try to sneak through the Mexican Nationals line where they don't check passports (which I wouldn't advise if you don't look Latino). I believe per Mexican federal law if you're not a Mexican National and you don't have a valid passport they're not supposed to let you enter the country in the first place, though they'll always look the other way with a small bribe LOL.
I wouldn't worry at all about getting turned away. That's not happening unless you refuse to pay the bribe. And I've only heard about the bribe being $20 or $30 - haven't heard of any cases where the Mexican customs officials try to get more than that. If you're taking a change of clothes would advise dressing down as you're walking though customs.

Attempted to cross PedEast on foot around 2:30 AM late Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning. The line was surprisingly long, estimated 1 1/2 hours. I nearly fell asleep waiting in line as I was completely exhausted from the events that happened earlier in the night.
There were 3 border agents checking ID on the way back, one of them routinely sending people to the back and asking them multiple questions, thus further delaying the line. Luckily, I did not get that agent. My agent asked me one question (a question about my destination) before letting me through.

Do you think I should bother with the 'fake' FMM in this case w / o a passport? Or would that get me into more trouble if they decide to look up the passport number I provided only to find out I put incorrect dates?I personally wouldn't go through the effort of a "fake" FMM but you can always try that and see what happens. Don't think you'd get into "trouble" but I wouldn't know for sure. My guess is they'll just send you to the back to solicit a bribe which is what they would've done anyway. In my experience, even with a printed and completed FMM you still need a valid passport if you're going through the Foreigners (USA and other non-Mexican Nationals) line. In the Foreigners line they still check both documents and then stamp one or both of them before letting you proceed into Mexico.
I think if you already have a stamped FMM from crossing into Mexico from the USA previously, crossing back over into the USA, and then try to get back into Mexico within the time period your FMM is good for, you can usually just go through the Mexican Nationals line, show them the stamped FMM, and they'll often waive you through without bothering to see your passport (think I've done this once a long while back with no issue). But even here they're checking to see that the FMM was stamped by a Mexican customs official. The FMM you're printing out from online and completing technically isn't good until it's reviewed and stamped by a Mexican customs official at the border.
I am thinking of coming down a spending 2 or 3 nights in Tijuana. I really only want to do the border crossing on e so I am thinking of staying right in the belly of the beast.
Any recommendations between Rizo de Oro or Cascadas. I am assuming women in the Zona Norte area will come back to either one.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
