Will my Global Entry card allow me to use the SENTRI line at San Ysidro PedWest, or do I need the separate RFID SENTRI card?

Yea. She is very fun.

Also just to mention. After banging one of the street girls I asked her if I could pay her for a little time to help me with my Spanish. And I could help her a little with English. So we hung out at Azul's next to HongKong. When I tried to pay her after 30 minutes she pushed back half my money and wouldn't take it. Basically saying she enjoyed learning a bit more English as well.

Sofia was the girl. Totally cool. Really sweet girl who stands across street from HongKong on the south alley side of HK.

I love the way everything is up for a business deal in Zona Norte. Only limited by what you want to buy and what someone else is willing to sell for whatever amount of money!

Goyo.

Thanks for the pointer. I have been learning a little Spanish, but feel like I am stalled.

Anna is fun to watch and breaks it down without bogging it down.

And it is free.

Great tip about the auto button. Will check it out. Thanks.

Goyo.

Excellent tip about the auto button. Except I couldn't find it.

However, after a quick search on google, it appears if you press the microphone button a few times, it will enable auto-translate so no more having to alternate pressing "English" or "Espanol. ".

This just made my life a whole lot easier. Gracias amigos!

Will go with a wingman for next weekend of fun, colorful Carnaval in this nice, clean, exciting tropical paradise with hot girls, good, spicy food, lots of fresh sea food ect.

Hotels situation will be tight that weekend. Talked to the reception guy at a motel right on the parade route and got a very good deal, way below the AirBnB and Trivago rates. Unlike the hot girls in La Zona, he could not speak 1 word in English and understood little or nada of my Spanish. Damn. The place has a large pool and large leafy parking lot, perfectly suitable for grilling and cooking outdoors in accordance with fine Mexico's traditions. I have grilled and cooked seafood many times in Ensenada. They showed pictures of guests grilling by the pool in the past. Can't be more Mexican than that!

Sr. Hans Solo calmly advised reception guy in formal diplomatic Spanish that, if he screws us out of the reservation, he will quickly get a laser saber or a Tequila cactus rammed up his brown ass.

Ensenada Carnaval is next week. Parties all over town the whole week but Sat and Sun Feb 22 -23 there will be floats and parades. There will be lots of nice, clean, fun, beautiful girls all over town partying, a great chance to have fun and meet nice, clean, real, beautiful Mexican sweethearts outside of La Zona!

Plan to go Friday afternoon, stay Friday and Saturday nights and return to Tijuana for more even intimate parties Sunday afternoon. We can book a AirBnB, bring some steaks and buy fresh seafood off the dock for some serious partying. Don't forget to bring your favorite drinks or stop at duty-free stores in San Ysidro to stock up premium brands at 30-50% discounts. A lots of sweet honeys would just loooooove to party with us.

Any bros want to go?

The Ensenada Carnival is a centuries-old tradition among the inhabitants of the port and also among the many visitors, who meet every year in this municipality. It is characterized by troupes, floats, dancers, harlequins and endless party nights.

Each of the 6 days of Ensendense Carnival has a special meaning, since different activities are carried out:

Thursday, February 20, 2020: opening day with the " Burning of the Malhumor ", where it burns a doll that represents the Irrational Hate Collective, also fireworks are launched.

Friday, February 21,2020: it is the " Entrance of the New Court"With the winning kings: Coronation of children's kings, Coronation of King and Queen of Carnival. The first great concert of the celebrations begins.

Saturday, February 22,2020: there is " Fiesta Popular " and the parade of floats begins (first major carnival parade), as well as the second great concert. Tonight is the busiest of all, missing is almost considered a sacrilege.

Sunday, February 23,2020: there is " Fiesta Popular " and the second great carnival parade.

Monday, February 24,2020: the " Dance of the Oppressed Husband " is performed, a massive concert that you cannot miss.

Tuesday, February 25,2020: it is the day of the " Award for Best Comparsas ". One of the funniest days, very similar to Saturday, the most beautiful evening of the whole year.

Thanks for the information I had no idea that Ensenada has a carnaval. Maybe I'll go there next year. On the west coast, the big carnaval is in San Francisco (Mission district) always in the month of May. The main parade on Mission Street is watched by hundreds of thousands of people link https://www.sftourismtips.com/carnav...francisco.html.

Trying to improve my Spanish I ran across Butterfly Spanish on Youtube. Anna is the teacher and she is a riot. Does a great job of breaking down Spanish basics.

Just wanted to share in case others were looking for a little free online lessons just search for Butterfly Spanish.

In google translate, if you press the auto button in conversation mode, you don't have to press English or Spanish. The program auto detect which language you are using.

On the San Ysidro side, After clearing the Mexican customs / migration building and walking down the street to where all the taxi guys are.

A) where is the Hong Kong limo located? I see a unpaved parking lot to my right but no limo.

B) I see a van / bus on my right halfway to the bridge. How do you take one to these. Where does it stop. Do you just hop on and do you pay first or later. Should I be concern that one of the passenger will mug me.

Thanks in advance.

If you walk into mexico from the trolley area, hk limo is past taco stands, to the right, do not cross the street, start walking back into USA, but at the entrance path, not exit path you just walked out from. To me, its alot more fun to just jump on the bus that's non stop, its 75 cents, ask if its centro. Centro is what you need. Most are centro. You will get off about 3 stops. A block and a half before revolution or if you stay on, the next stop is a block half after revolution. If its day time you won't have a problem. Don't stop walking no matter who talks to you. The bus is fun, they play music often, its filled with all mexicans and mexican / americans. I took a female friend last week on the bus who is a senior citizen who just wanted to go for lunch. She loved the bus with the music. I also take the bus back in the mornings.
