Tijuana makes me happy
I think this is a dangerous premise, "Tijuana makes me happy" that causes addiction to mongering and paid sex. One has to take his happy to Tijuana to be in control of himself and enjoy things the right way. If not, there exists dependency to this life style which is harmful.

At least 4 times I tried to walk into this Verde green bar whatever it is called and I left before drinking. Like within 5 seconds everytime. For one it feels like it's downstairs a few steps like a cave. No air, smelly, alot peoppe but no actual place to go for a solo gringo and everyone is mexican. Just felt extremely out of place, like a mexican, showing up in usa for 1st time and walking into a truck driver bar in North Carolina.
I ducked in there yesterday to check it out. Much like Dogers69, I left again without getting a drink or anything. Low ceiling made the place feel claustrophobic, compounded by getting way too much attention as soon as I walked in.

The long wait coming back across the border plus the long transit back up to LAX has me thinking next time, I will fly to the DF, and from there, fly home to Pattaya.

Very little crimes in Zona Norte unless you piss off the Cartels.
Thanks Captain, coming through in the clutch!

Agreed. Still not sure why staying in less than five stars accomodations automatically meant being victim of crime?

Stay at hk hotel Mondays and Tuesdays. Use coupon for tropical hotel on Wednesdays. The other days your going to be in worse conditioned rooms, also similarly without windows. And your going to pay about 35 to 50 a night depending on if it's a Friday sat sun night or other days of the week. If you know for sure you are going to stay a week or more there's a hotel with weekly rate on revolution, 400 feet north of Madero on the east side of the road and the prices are on the big TV screen in the window facing the street. The hostel isn't cheap enough to be worth it unless you want company and people in your face.
Thanks for the help.
Actually I like the social environment of hostels. I never had a problem with people in my face, personal space has always been respected.
I will check out the hotel you speak of.

Well, I told them what they can do with the bucket. The chica backed me up because she wanted the payday and we spent more than an hour in the room.

If when you said "take a lady out of the bar" you mean get her to visit you in your hotel, that's hit or miss just like it is with girls working at other bars.

My only problem with Rio Verde is that it's almost impossible to take a lady out of the bar.

Yea if I were you I would stay clear of that verde rio bar. Its full of drunk Mexicans. I'm still not sure how a gringo could have fun there. I might have to pm I luv mexicans and ask him.
But I reccomend all gringos stick to HK. So what if they keep raising the prices of everything. Damn fichas went from 10 to 11 to 12 within the last month. Have fun fellas!

Yeah it's a pretty miserable place. DFK'ing a chica and finger banging her for a ficha spells misery in my book. Not sure why I keep going there?

Are there any options below that with at least WiFi?
I need to stay in Tijuana until I can afford to move on to South America or Southeast Asia.
I'd like to come down soon (this week).
