[QUOTE=Ho Nguyen]... The V made it possible to go again so I walked down to Hong Kong. Much more hectic atmosphere. You have to buy a three dollar bottle of beer as an entrance fee. I gave the bouncer a buck tip and the waiter another buck for opening the bottle. Sat down near the entrance and a girl immediately sat next to me. She was a bleached blonde with a strangely angular nose that could only have resulted from plastic surgery (think Michael Jackson) Said her name was Anthrax. I bought her a lady drink for $7 and she got friendly. She wanted $70 for standard half and half but no anal. Just to see her reaction I told her that I was only interested in anal. I didn't want to make a quick decision so I told her to come back in thirty minutes. A bunch of other chicas tooks turns sitting down next to me, each double teaming with a waiter who hovered over me exhorting me to buy the girl a drink. This behavoir was getting obnoxious enough that I was ready to leave. Especially since I didn't see any stunners that I just had to fornicate.

No policia hassles at the border. Policia in evidence in the Zona and saw one walking through boths clubs on several occasions. My only scare came as I walked back to the Ueta lot through the spiral ramps and covered bridge that take you back over the freeway. A group of 5 gang-banger-looking minority youth were hanging around and walking slowly on the down ramp as if waiting for me to pass in order to size me up. I quickly walked by and nothing happened but my heart was racing as the fight or flight reaction kicked in. I felt stupid to be in such a situation: a lone middle-aged man. Easy meat for the gang-bangers but no way to get back other than walking the long way around to UETA or taking a cab. Even without the disadvantaged youths that one mile plus walk from where the cab dropped me off back to my car was no fun.[/QUOTE]
Nice TR. Thanks.
It seems Anthrax is back. She used to be brunette and I'd seen her on the day shift as well as nights. Last I heard she was on maternity leave. Apparently, that's all done. If it's the same chica, she had D fakes and a good attitude. She also has LOTS of mileage, and I think $70 is way too high for her.
Even on a Sunday afternoon in high season, I've NEVER seen a 2-hour wait at the border. 1.5 hours is the longest I can recall. And never at night. The SD guy was full of it.
The ramp has security cameras at each end, and there are usually rent-a-cops roaming around somewhere. I think it's probably a lot safer than it looks. I wouldn't sweat it too much.
Have fun!
