My Recent Tijuana Trip Report
In response to some of the criticism (some good and some not so good) that my recent Tijuana report has received.
Gee, I really did not think by trying to write a true and factual trip report about my recent trip to Tijuana, that it would generate quite so much controversy. I was just calling them as I see them - and having been fortunate enough to have traveled a bit, I was comparing my recent experiences in Tijuana to what I have observed recently in Central America.
Don't get me wrong, Costa Rica and Panama in comparison to Tijuana - are in no way perfect either - in my opinion, but I just stated that I thought that I liked it a little better in Central America than what I recently observed in Tijuana.
Country John -
Firstly thank you John for recognizing that what I said in my report was my own personal opinion. I thought it was fairly factual about the present conditions of what I observed recently in Tijuana. I can see why you might object to a few of my observations, as you say - you are living in Tijuana with a local woman, and naturally I can see that you want to try to keep as good a reputation for Tijuana as you can. I think that is a good thing for you to try to do - make the very best of your present situation, and also try to be a proponent of the area that you have chosen to live in. Congrats to you on that. And also thanks for your good advice about Tijuana here on this forum.
I read some of your reports before going to Tijuana, and found them quite informative and very helpful. And if you are happy with your present situation, which you seem to be, then more power to you, and I wish you many, many more happy years living with your lady in Tijuana.
In response to Newbie51 -
Oh what I wouldn't give to be like you again - young!
I might still be able to round up 3 or 4 young ladies everyday - and just "screw the hell out of them".
As it is now, I have to take Viagra just to get and maintain a halfway decent 'woodie'. And I am only able to take on one a day - at most.
With the curse of old age, comes the need for quite a lot of medicine that one does not need to take in his youth.
And if I once again was young, I would not have to get up 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night - just to go take a whizz. Bummer!
And most of all Newbie51, if I could revisit the glory days of my youth - then I could once again be just like you - "young and dumb and full of cum".
In closing, I am reminded here of a pretty good joke that I would like to share with you -
There were two bulls standing up on a hill overlooking a peaceful valley.
The young bull remarked to the old bull, "Damn take a look down there, there must be 7 or 8 young heifers just waiting for us to join them.
"Let's run down there and fuck a couple of um, said the young bull", to which the old bull replied, "No son, let's walk down there, and fuck um all".

In Respone To Stevewxly...
No worries mate. I tried to stay in context with your TR and your observations were good but typical of someone who has not had much time there, I did not intend to flame you for that at all -it was just an observation.
As far as wanting to paint a good image of TJ is concerned, i'll leave that up to the tourist bureau. Yeah, there are things I don't like about TJ but what I discovered is that there is a big difference between the "quality of living" and the "quality of life." They don't always mean the same thing and that is particularly true of the USA, that's why I have a place in Mexico.
The streets are not paved with diamonds, that's for sure but I'll take the potholes and dust devils over the self cenered arrogance of the USA any day of the week. The Mexican people are warm and giving. They appreciate good company and know how to have a good time; not unlike other people in Latin America or other places in the world. The USA stands in stark contrast.
Many Americans live in Mexico because they are running from something. Perhaps the law or an ex spouse. I am running TO Mexico because I like the people, I can handle the lifestyle (plain and simple) and I don't need the "push, shove, clutch and grab" lifestyle of the USA.
I still have substantial business interests in the USA as well as new business interests in Mexico, where doing business is much easier (you just have to stay on top of things). But as soon as I can I will have sold my interest in the USA, and then Mexico will be my home.
I appreciated your follow up post. I sort of balances things out and give a better picture of where you were coming from.
People need to come to their own conclusions about Tijuana. While it appears to be a grungy place full of dirty situations, one need not look far to find a lot to do and good people to share good times with because life in TJ does not revolve around the Zona Norte. That's for the Gringos.
Yes, I want to defend it I suppose but trust me when I do so from first hand experience, frome living, thinking and doing there solidly over the past year. There is alot people don't know about Mexico. There was a lot I didn't know.
Be safe and be nice
Country John
