A few more n0 ob questions
Thanks for all the info about border crossing, I will definitely fly into SD and take the bus / cross by foot. Just a few more questions to get your opinions on your stay down there!
I'm curious to see what Tijuana is like during weekdays and also weekends. Is 4 days down there too much time to spend? I'm in my early 30's and can probably get like 4-5 pops a day. But I was thinking do Saturday / Sunday at Ticuan and Monday / Tuesday at Cascadas to take advantage of VIP card / discount rooms. I guess I'm not your average monger, I only do this once a year so I try to make sure the trip is worth it.
Also one last thing, not too many people talk about the massage parlors here. I've seen vids on youtube where it look like they bring out a line of women and you can choose who you want, what services etc. Are they worth it compared to taking a girl upstairs at cascades or escorts?
As far as escorts, I've read a lot of people have greater success using back page or CL so I want to try that and also a few escort companies. I'll probably have to invest in a Cell phone and get Whatsapp for easier coordinating. Again, any info is greatly appreciated and I will report back on my trip next month.
Car Repairs in Tijuana Roll the Dice and Win
Similar situation, had a Navy guy run into my car's bumper while it was parked at McDonalds. Navy dude came into McDonalds instead of driving off and asked if anyone owned a car that looked like mine since he hit it. Since he was a Navy guy with class, I told him not to report it to his insurance and that he could pay for the bumper repairs at a nearby body shop but they wanted $1000 plus parts. I thought that was too much, so I had him follow me to a VW shop and buy the replacement taillights and other parts for about $70 and told him I would pay for the body work myself in Tijuana. In Tijuana, sure enough, a body shop on Ocampo street realigned the bumper with a car jack and chains, put Bondo on the damaged places and replaced the tail lights, 500 pesos or around $25 for 2 hours body work. .Unbelievable price and done quick. Still needs a paint job but that is for another day in Tijuana! Anyone know if Earl Scheib style paint jobs are available in Tijuana for $99 and what shops?
[quote]US repair guys did something wrong with my car, the exhaust was leaking, making noise. A local repair shop quoted $900 to fix the problem. Could not find other shops that would diagnose and fix the problem. Was in La Zona for fun, decided to stay overnight and have Tijuana shops look at it in the morning.
Calles 3, O Campo and Negrete have lots of repairs shops, but the roads are being torn up. Most shops were not accessible. Finally found REX on Aquacaliente, corner Quintana Roo, about 3 block South of Costco, a large and professional shop specializing in muffler and radiator. Mechanic Eduardo speaks English like Gringos. This shop also does oil change and light maintenance, supposedly the best in Tijuana. They said exhaust manifold was cracked, needed removed and welded, 3 hours 1,500 pesos (about $80)...[/quote]
Mermaids massage and bar on Coahuila across from HK
Saturday morning 3 girls in street clothes were in front of Mermaids luring guys in. They looked nice clean fresh without make up on their faces.
Quality of girls in mermaids has improved somewhat, but they present the girls in street clothes, so they may not look so attractive with their clothes off. They used to charge $60 for 1 hour of massage; any sex is extra, adding another $60 to $80 tip to the girl, which is steep.
