Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Revolt]

Hi guys,

I found this article. Any of you guys know about this?

Last week, I spent the night in Hotel Coahuila, and it was cold. Ask for an extra sheet or two before you bunk down.

Lately, the police have been laying low. I think it's because they want to make it through the year. Bandidos have been keeping them in check.

Thanks, Country John and Super Gato. Maybe I'll try out Cascadas.

Thanks for the tip about the lack of heat in the rooms. From what I had previously read, I was expecting the possibility of no hot water, but I didn't even think of bringing a blanket, or something warm.

I'm actually coming from Utah, where the current temperature is 17 degrees, and it's only 7pm. It gets so cold in Utah that the men here marry multiple wives just to stay warm!

I suppose one good thing about the cold is the chikas might actually want to cuddle.. At the very least, the cold condition might supply an interesting story to report on when I return. Hell, if it gets too cold, I might just have to bring TWO girls back to my room.

I would stay at the leyva, next to Chicago Club or at Cascades, above Adelitas if I were you.

Cascadas is above Hong Kong and I too would recommend it if I was going to spend the night.

The hotel above Adelita is Hotel Coahuila. Their overnight rooms on the upper floor do have TVs (with pr0n and a closed circuit feed of the Adelita stage) and are a little nicer than the $12/30min rooms on the lower floors, but it is a notch down from Cascadas).

Country John is also right about the weather right now. Slippers, socks and a robe seem a little overkill. But to each his own. If you're coming down from somewhere where it is really cold you'll laugh at the locals all bundled up for a blizzard because it is only 55f.

Hi,

I have been to the Zona Norte four times now and, although I'm a gringo who doesn't speak much Spanish, I have not wandered to the unsafe streets and I have always felt fine. I have always left at dusk.

For this next visit, I was thinking of staying overnight in one of the local hotels right in the heart of the district, maybe Hotel Eduardo. Is it much more dangerous at night, if I am careful?

Truthfully, I have actually felt more uncomfortable getting out of the Taxi at the border-crossing area at night, than I have felt in the Zona Norte.

Try to bring an electric blanket. There is NO heating system in these places and it's colder than shit here right now.

Also, be advised that nasty weather is forecast for this region over the next several days. The streets flood, blah blah blah. Bring waterproof footwear, slippers, socks, a warm robe etc. You will be very happy you did. If you have an electric blanket, the girls will LOVE it. Also, bring a power strip and extension cord. None of these hotels like you sucking on their power supply but fuck 'em. The extension cord will help you suck power to the blanket or heater.

Yes!! Apparently they've asked you for the same thing. I don't understand how those chicas get such hairy ears!

How do you think they trim the A.. Hole so neat?

[Phordphan]

You mean an electric nose and ear hair trimmer

A great gift for chicas are designer knock off fragrance oils. Actually any girl would love them.

Try www.goldstarfragrances.com They are based in new york city but they ship anywhere.

I usually go in there asking for all the expensive names like dior channel etc. Girls get really impressed. A little bottle at $3.95 goes a REALLY long way. Most of them smell the same as the originals and it lasts for alot longer.

How much commission you get for directing buyers to the site
I hate cheap perfumes they stay on me for the whole week even after shower.
BTW gasoline can neutralize the perfume so you don't have to explain anything back home if you know what I mean.

Well... I've been asked, a time or two, to provide a toy that used batteries.

Buy cheap shit for the girls. Go to Big Lots and load up on Chinese cheap stuff. Nothing expensive, nothing with a battery.

Despite being under a watchful eye, the reality is that the cops in TJ earn about $600 per month which is nothing, even by TJ standards.

This is an easy one for the zona experts like Country john etc.
I know the rules so the next question is how safe is the zona close to the holidays it should be avoid till after New year?
You always hear people saying the cops are trying to make some $ for the holidays and the criminals are out to rob anyone so I'm not sure if I just wait until January?
Seriously what do you suggest?

Being a sworn police officer with the TJ police department is a "fallback" job for those unable to obtain a "real" job. It's sad but it's true.

Scrubbed up gringos need to be careful and stay away from anything that would get you detained. Not because you might have done something wrong, but because you might have money or valuables.

I've been during December. It's mostly slower so it's safer. Don't quote me on the safety though. Best to always be about your wits.
