General Reports

[ClamSlammer]

Costco in the states had no membership requirement, for the pharmacy, at least t by e last time I went, which was several years ago. Viagra used to be a lot cheaper at Costco than cvs. Last month I walked into a pharmacy one street behind ceasars and the generic viagra pills were about the same as the cheapest sildelafil in the states, milligram for milligram at least..

Same thing for alcohol, many states prohibit the use of memberships to purchase alcoholic beverages. So you can walk into a Costco without a membership if you state you are buying purely alcohol. But you cannot purchase any other products at the register without a membership card.

Your story that a Tijuana farmacia sells generic Viagra at the same price as a USA Pharmacy, well that is another one of your patented lies. Generic V sell for around $1 usd in Tijuana, or less. A couple months back I bought a box of 40 at Costco for around $30 usd. Costco.com (USA) sells generic V for $2.88 a pill for $100 MG. Costco Tijuana I bought for $.75. Name brand Viagra Costco USA sells for $798.97 for 10 100 MG pills, Costco Mexico sells same box $1699 mx (shipping included) which is about $80 usd. Viagra, real and generic, costs much, much more in USA than Mexico, not the same.

Hey not sure if this is the right spot to post but me and some friends are getting an Airbnb this weekend near Tijuana beach. Just wondering if the area is safe to stay? Side note I have lived in many different parts of Mexico so I know as long as you keep your head down and don't look for trouble things are pretty smooth.

If you drive back and forth to centro during the weekend evenings you might encounter sobriety checkpoints on the way back. At least they were doing this awhile ago.

I've stayed in AirBnBs in Playas many times. It's fine as long as you don't go looking for trouble. The area where most of the AirBnBs are located is a fairly quiet residential area. There isn't a whole lot to do there, but the restaurants by the malecon are pretty decent.

I tried updating & reinstalling my Uber and did not help. Ended up taking taxi for $3. I was noticing that the Uber app kept showing there was only 6 drivers available. The taxi driver told me there is not many Uber drivers because of Covid.

I have noticed that is harder to find a Uber driver in Tijuana for the past month or so. ? When I have used the app it has said no drivers available about 3 times. Not sure what is happening. ?

Costco Global Membership costs only 500 pesos or $25, good anywhere in the world.

I bought the card with another bros, so only $12.50 each. We checked prices of wines, liquors, beers. They were about the same prices in US, converted to pesos. Did not find any good deal and did not check on other food items.

It's not worth the hassle shopping in Tijuana unless you were going to save couple hundred dollars. I got the card so I can buy pizza in the US. Bought it 6 months ago but have not used it once.

Don't know about returning goods in the US. Product packaging must be in Spanish. How are they going to resell them in US?

No I have not, headed back there in a couple of weeks. Been contemplating keeping my mask on during all the club visits even during services.

As a guy who will not take off his mask during any session as long as this pandemic is still active I encourage you to do the same. I love besos and SOT but when I think about the most important thing it really is fucking. In my normal life I was around multiple people that tested positive for the virus. I was wearing my mask and nothing happened to me. I will put a link that helps explain why I came out unscathed. Now everything that I went through happened before the article came out. In any case the one time I went upstairs at AB I wasn't scared cause I knew beforehand that I was actually exposed to people who tested positive. Still I wouldn't risk it and what for if I've never liked drinking to begin with. It isn't that hard to keep it on. Just don't go a hundred. I've actually felt worse without a mask. But could be cause I went all out. One of the many downsides I've noticed is I'm getting dropped by pussy shots that wouldn't do it pre covid. And a surprising thing is my recovery time has improved during these times. My confidence is not where it needs to be but is because you never know. But I'll die on this hill.

Safe? No its not safe at all. I read the Tijuana news daily there's always crime in playas. Not theft crime I'm talking deadly crime. Its still safer than most parts of Tijuana. And if you don't go to bars or restaurants or walk at night or have a car its unlikely anything will happen beyond a cop trying to empty your wallet. Lets put it this way, its much safer than zona norte, probably as safe as Baltimore bad areas, and much more dangerous than San Diego beach communities such as ocean beach and pacific Beach. Probably almost a 100 times more dangerous if your a gringo at least.

USA Costco accept most? Mex purchase return in USA.

Correct, though to my understanding, you can't use the Costco Mexico membership on the Costco US website. So basically you can't order for delivery / pickup online from the domestic Costco website using the Mexican membership. I did by a Mexican membership from the Costco in Zona Rio a couple months ago and it's been useful for me since I live within short walking distance of a Costco.

Also, in case anyone cares, you can get a Costco membership in Mexico and it costs half what it does in the US. It is honored here, although you have to tell the cashier it's an international membership.

Dusty,

Building chemistry is real, not a selling point. If the girls like you in the club, they will give you good sessions in bed.

With the club being so compact now you can check out the 50 or so girls at night in about 15 minutes. There were 5 or 6 stunners Sunday night when I was there. Invite the girl of your choice for a drink may last 20 to 30 minutes. They would go for anywhere from $60 to $100 for half hour session. Longer time and special services are up to negotiation. A wingman has been getting one hour BBFS for $120 with a few girls. If they like you they may come back and stay the night.

I don't post here often, but visit a few times a year (normal years). Good forum and good people here.

I too, have -zero- game, but suck it up for the waiters that don't leave you alone, but time spent at a table over a # of beers being not a douchbeag to the girls, pays off more often than not once you develop an eye for the not yet hardened ones.

Good advice here and the replies to it.

Viagra used to be a lot cheaper at Costco than cvs. Now I was using drs prescription for sildelafil, and getting I ng it online through different companies that let you order online but show up in person and pay 80% off. Last month I walked into a pharmacy one street behind ceasars and the generic viagra pills were about the same as the cheapest sildelafil in the states, milligram for milligram at least. No prescription needed in mexico. I forgot go tell customs on the way back.

[KC Questor]

Yes you can, but you must have a Costco card. A Costco membership from the United States is fine to use in the Tijuana Costco.

Also, in case anyone cares, you can get a Costco membership in Mexico and it costs half what it does in the US. It is honored here, although you have to tell the cashier it's an international membership.

Made my first trip (since COVID flared up) to Tijuana last Sunday for a couple days. 5 people in line at Mexican CBP and they routed each of us to the Secondary in the backroom. Apparently my story wasn't good enough and had to buy a visa or, as they put it, go back to where I came from. They said crossings were only for essential travel, but get this, while the visa is valid I could waltz in whenever I wanted and go through the line used by the nationals and bypass customs. IMO the visa is just another tax.

Seemed to be more sw than my prior visits. Some were very young and some I recognized who used to work in the clubs. All the clubs and bars are closed but the parties moved to the hotels. Cascadas was the best having replaced beds in the 7th floor suites with some booths. It was packed at night with very few wearing masks, good selection of girls, but some complained there wasn't enough guys. I'm not sure the 7th floor could manage many more people. Ventilation was lacking so smoke was an issue for me and I'm sure it was a great place for COVID to spread. Tuesday AM there were maybe 10 girls at most on the 7th floor and maybe 8 or less guys. Hotel Coahuila (Adelita) opened up the second floor. Similar to Cascada but not many people were there and nowhere as nice of a setup nor the number or quality of women at Cascadas. The rooms at Coahuila are small which made a difference and most were in the hall. The hotel above La Gloria tried to draw me in but after having been to Coahuila I wasn't interested. There was also a bar on the street behind HK and Adelita that tried to draw me in too and I heard a floor in the Rizo De Oro (Tropical) was open. I didn't bother with either. Cascadas also said they are no longer running the limo since COVID hit. Some of the girls at Cascadas complained there wasn't enough guys. But the.

Most if not all restaurants I passed were open. Azul was as well. Food carts around the ZN were in fully force. Downtown Centro was busy obviously with mostly Mexicans and very few gringos. Crossing back over Tuesday AM around 9:30 was a non-event. As mentioned by others, Pedwest is closed. Line at Pedeast wasn't very long (probably 30 - 45 minutes) but I have SENTRI and in its line there were 2 people in front of me. US CBP agent asked the usual questions, didn't challenge me, and I was through and on my way. The Trolley both to and from San Ysidro also wasn't as busy as it usually was.

Hello,

Long time lurker, 1st post. Checked out Tijuana / Hongkong.

March 2018, wonderful is all I can say. As it has it work has brought me to the boarder again if briefly. Was wondering if anyone here was up to hang out in la zona? Be there around 5:00. Flew solo in the past but would enjoy some company.

How was it? How is it? Any trouble getting in or leaving?
