First Experience from a Newbie
Spent 2 days (the past weekend) in TJ, and thanks for O'Tools Guide, I had a good time. I would like to feed back to the forum since O'Tools might be somewhat outdated. It is still extremely useful though. Being a Canadian without any spanish and experience even in SoCal, I owe O'Tool big time.
Accommodation:
I stayed at the Days Inn in Chula Vista Friday and Saturday nights. The rate after tax is 108usd, above my budget. The room is small; decor is old. The worst part is the shower, which runs with a cycle of 20 secondw with very cold and very hot water, sufficient to cause a third degree burn. If I didn't have my luggage with me, some TJ hotels could be a better option.
Parking:
Accurate information. I parked at the first lot though where the TJ shutter is, because of the light and the traffic, which provide perhaps a false sense of security. I didn't have no trouble though. The drawback is it is quite a walk when coming back from Mexico. It is fine in the day, but walking alone after midnight was kind of scary. The rate is 7 usd perday. The recommend lot by O'Tool has gone up to 9usd.
Entering Mexico:
No problem at all. It was a leisure walk around noon, when the temperature was just right.
Taxi:
5 usd to Adelita and 5 back to Sentra. Taxi driver knew where I was heading to as soon as I got into the car.
Adelita:
The best Amongst the 3 I have been: Adelita, Chicago and Hong Kong. I watched Mexico vs Angelo there. All girls were available for hugs and kisses during the game.
There were also good selections there, slightly more at night though. Picked a hottie, blonde of 24 years from ???. She told me, but I could not catch the name. She started with oral, then cowgirl, doggie and the traditional to end the 30 minute session. Total damage was 60 usd plus 12 usd for room and 2 usd for tips (?) to the guy wearing a security vest.
I did another girl, aged 21 at night, and again the usual routines and same damage. O'Tool is right. The hard bodied hottie frequented at the central while the college type ones stayed at the back. I was very interested in a young college look girl with a pretty face. She is not tall but turns myfantasy on. No luck because she was occupied and then taken out.
Girls were very aggressive. At least half of them had approached me for drinks or going up.
Beer is 3.75 usd. Girls drinks are 7.
Chicago:
No talent at all. Very disappointing and very quiet. I left before mid-night, but according to O'Tool, hot girls would come in after the wee hours.
Hong Kong:
I was confused with the system there, since I don't speak spanish. Is it a strip club only? Is there a hotel upstairs, just like Adelita and Chicago? I spent all my one dollar note there. Also had a girl to dance for me for 2 songs. 20 usd damage.
Beer is 4 usd, with buy one get one free promotion. girls drinks are 7, I believe.
HK is not a bad place to past time. I stayed there for about 4 hours each day and the total was about 40. Not bad. Unlike Adelita, girls there were not aggressive.
Alley:
Quality is extremely poor. There were at least 200 of them any time during the day or at night, but none of them was worth banging. I did 2 though. The first one was a Mayan, very short with very small tilts. We agreed 20 plus 5 for the room plus 1 for the tips. She would take her her skirt and asked me for 10 more for removing her tops and 10 more for oral. It is O'Tools fault he didn't tell us newbies how to monger in the alley. I refused, but kept banging her for 20 minutes before finish. After I walked out, I remember the phrase sina ropa.
The second time was a young 19 year old with a typical native face and very dark skin. I asked for the top removed before striking a deal and she agreed. Damn it. I forgot to ask for oral, another mistake, which cost me 10.
Food:
It seems taco is the only thing available in Mexico. 1 dollar a piece. I am not sure if I over paid. The most "exciting" part was the oyster cocktail. Back home, oyster is cheap and I love it. I spent an hour before the stall watching mexican and grave american eating the cocktail, before I decided to give it a try. I didn't get sick though. Lucky me.
Overall experience:
Not bad. Quality wise, Eastern Europe is better. Cost wise, DR and Asia are cheaper. Next time I have to go to LA for meetings again, I will pop by TJ for sure. It is geographical so close. That's it.

gringa tricking off of the alley
[QUOTE=Amerioca]Found a gringa tricking off of the alley(on the hill) last Friday. I did not catch her name, however, she claimed to be originally from Maryland, and currently resides in Pt. Loma. Also, only works 3 weekdays out of the week. WTF? Times are tough, I guess...[/QUOTE]
Hang out enough there and you'll see an american almost every time near the alley. Always trying to either get drugs or a hook up to buy drugs. And they're always in shitty shape from being short on dope. Cops don't care, they're spread out or sitting on the corner slumped over like a rag doll - and everyone just keeps walking.
Of course, she's dressed like a ****, isn't from there, and clearly has a habit.
Now, you're in a country with scarce resources, babe (bless your heart). I don't see outreach coming to take any girls to rehab. It's got to be an awful position to be in.
Mexican Elections - July 2nd
Guys,
The Mexican Federal elections are coming up next weekend. I believe that Sunday July 2nd is the day they go to the polls. I don't want to be accused of sprading false information, but I believe all bars in the country must be CLOSED that day, including ones in the zone. If you're heading down to TJ for the Independence Day weekend, you may want to plan on doing something else on Sunday. There may still be some SG action, but I would imagine most of the clubs will be closed unless they are not serving alcohol (unlikely). I have never been there on an election day, so I do not know for sure. This is just what I hear from the locals.
Depending on the outcome of the election, you may see their currency stay where it is now (~10.5 pesos / USD) or it may fall significantly as it has in the past. Stay tuned.
