There could be 40% less of a line and how can they really check to see if it is real, Mexico is the capitol of fake documents biggest problem will be in December when the deadline for CBP to be vaccinated, I heard up to 40% will walk out they have job offers in Texas to remain unvaccinated.

Not sure how opening up the border will mean 40% less of a line. I think the whole essential travel thing has not been enforced except for one day when they had the line to cross over 8 hours by car. Now I hope for those traveling across everyday it's not that bad but I think what the CBP was warning of is that they will be stricter at checking vaccine proof in the beginning even though they are only supposed to send suspicious cases to secondary to verify vaccine status.

Yes they have many fake documents in Mexico which is why the CBP will be checking the documents more in the beginning to get an idea of what is real and not. I don't work for the CBP but once the start to have evidence of fake documents and what to look for it will make it easier to identify.

Hopefully the CBP vaccine mandate will be extended or removed, but if it's not who knows how bad the border will get.

Where would one go for premium condom shopping in Tijuana?

A search led to a lot of BBFS discussions, but no shopping ones.

I use trojan piel natural myself, that are the best for feeling and they can be bought at Oxxo or any farmacia. Beyond that I would just bring your own from the states.

Speaking of Monday when they open up the border I saw a headline in the Tijuana newspaper that the CBP is expecting long lines since they will probably be strict on checking for vaccine proof for the non American visitors. So anyone that is planning on visiting that week and trying to cross I would plan on expecting a longer wait and to plan accordingly if you need to catch a flight or something.

The Ped East line was 50 minutes this morning.

Ped West opens next week.

You may end up waiting on a bus for a long time. And I wouldn't believe anything they say about how long the wait is in the regular line.

I did the bus once in March. It's a covid disaster. Packed bus no window 45 minutes on the bus. The line was a 3 hrs line that day and overall it took maybe hour 20 minutes with the bus. Cause you still have to spend 7 minutes walking to the bus waiting for it to fill up. The line at the border, with Christmas season here, and thousands Mexicans in need of shopping, there must be a million Mexicans in or near Tijuana with tourists visas and they don't miss San Diego or LA. They miss the outlet shopping. That lines gonna be 5 to 7 hours I bet.

What is the deal with those Mexican guys that approach you when you get out of your cab to cross at Pedeast about a ride over the border, they always say there is a 3 hour wait. Is their ride legitimate and how much does it cost?. Does it save you any time. Also Monday non essential traffic will be permitted into Mexico. However only Pedeast will be open for foot traffic, Pedwest will remain closed.

I sometimes just walk. It's free and a little exercise never hurt anyone. Of course, some may not be able to due to health conditions or if they brought a crapload of luggage like a prima donna.

I had been walking it for 25 years, then I went down with a buddy that said let's take this taxi for 50 pesos. Then after that, I went down one day with Cool and he said let's take this bus for 10 pesos. Many times I still walk it for the nostalgia of when I was in the Navy and first started going.

Those guys you are talking about with some ID hanging around there neck would sell you a seat on a bus for around $7 to $10 the bus would wait until full and then drive into a bus line where you would sit on the bus until you got to the front. Then you would get off and walk through customs.

These days the douche bag dudes discovered a way to skip the buses and for around $25 dollars they will walk you to the front of the line. I don't want to give to many details how they are able to pull this off but it is certainly not fair to all those people who have been waiting in line.

Is anyone in town today? I'm planning to head to ZN around 1 pm to get things underway. PM me of you are around and wouldn't mind meeting up for a while.

As prices are going up we got to find ways to save a few bucks.

One idea I had was have one person buy a drink for a girl who sits / stands at the stools and you and a bro tip her while groping the hell out of her. Normally only one guy would do this when he buys a drink but if both guys are tipping and groping the meseros probably will leave the guys alone and they both get to enjoy the girl a little tag-team-way.

I only bring my self, sometimes a cheap cell phone, passport, a light wallet, and the clothes on my back. Less is more in Tijuana and you really don't want to lose any valuables down there when your drunk or high, or like I was in the past all the above.

[LuvMexicanas]

Yeah, all of us that pay $5/$6 for that taxi ride (myself included) are overpaying anyway. For comparisons sake, Uber rides from the border to Hong Kong are often slightly under $2 these days (and generally wouldn't be more than $2. 50/$3).
