General Reports

Since I usually have no room in Tijuana I have been carrying all my cash on me. I did attempt to sew a hidden pocket into my clothing. But I'm not a good at sewing so I almost lost my money twice. So I have gone back to using my socks as a hiding place. So now I have to ask GSR and others who have been searched how thorough the searches have been. Would it be likely for the monkees to find cash in your socks or shoes?

Ok I was staying at Cascada as usual on Sunday. I finished up with the "wife" at about 4pm, finished watching the game in my room, and decided to travel to Enva to see if some of my Favorite girls were around. It was about 5:30 and dark. I went past a couple of times and went to the arch mall area. I was going back to my hotel about 6 pm and in front of Enva was a policia car 2 cops and they were shaking down another gringo. As I passed not paying attention they called me over. Not thinking much I walked over. Not scared or anything just thought they wanted to talk. All of a sudden they turned me around, kicked my legs out and put my hands on the car. Instantly went to my passport other girl went to the wallet. I grabbed the pesos in passport. When the wallet came out the guy SLAMMED me on the hood. The girl had my wallet. They were good. I have stopped pick pockets in the US before but these 2 worked in tandem. Obviously not rookies! I could not keep my eyes on both of them. (not that I could do anything anyway. You can't run away from, and I was not doing ANYTHING but walking the street! I still am not effected too much by it, and of course I WILL still go to the Zona. I stay at Enva often "TLN"for a cheap alternative especially when I want an extended session with one of the Enva cuties! You know you guys ask about putting cash in your shue / socks. I don't and won't. Shit happens in all cities. (the cop situation was getting better / past few years) has the new government changed things back to the good ole bad days?

I had an experience in Tijuana, in the Zona Norte walking from Adelitas to Chicago, where 2 male cops stopped me and had me spread eagle on the hood of the car. The next thing I knew, one was pulling a planted baggy of Mary Jane out of my pocket. They proceeded to drive me around Tijuana, rifling through my wallet. I had my driver license and an ATM card in my wallet and they demanded I pull money out to compensate for their drugs. I told them I only had about $100 in my account, if that. One of them walked with me over to the ATM and made me give him my pin number. Then he took it upon himself to do the rest. Luckily, I only had $120 in my account and they took it all. Got back in the car, they drove me around a little bit and asked me how much I paid to park. I told them 8 bucks. Of which they gave me the 8 bucks and dropped me off by the linea. That was real nice of them to do that as I had all kinds of visions of what they could have done to me. They are all a bunch of corrupt bastards. Be careful to avoid them at all costs when walking from bar to bar in La Zona. It's just a matter of time before they pull something. Avoid j walking as they lie in wait to pop you and bribe you out of money. Use the crosswalks and do not make eye contact whatsoever with them.

Thanks Riki for describing your experience with the policia. This brings up a point that I've always been unclear about. I try to be always concsious of the police while in the zona. I don't do drugs, and never get really drunk down in the zona, so I think I cud survive through a routine shakedown, but I've always wondered what are your options if the policia plant drugs on you during the shake? Are you basically completely F'd, and have to comply with everything they say?

I've read other reports for routine shakedowns that suggest you can callenge the policia to bring you to the judge, and can expect a relatively unbiased judgement. But does that hold true if the policia has planted drugs on you?

What are your options? What should you do?

WELL IF THE Policia are not bad enough, Cascada gets into the action! They raised the overnight rate by $5. This is the third $5 rate increase in the last 12 months! They reduce the VIP card to 4 months! What else is new! As it is they never have towels in my room when I get there! Good thing I know where their stash is (sheets TP and towels) I always help myself! They do have a 1/2 off Mon & Tue. Rate with VIP.

Someone mentioned to me that the Increase in price was not really the fault of Cascada. They said it was because of the new 16% tax increase in Tijuana, and they were just passing it on to us! Mexico and USA, all the same (More tax for less goods!)

If you ever want a change of venue, head on over to Nuevo Laredo.

I apprecitae your post. Is NL worthy of a monger trip or only if you live in the area? I've been dying to check out the NL and Reynosa scene but from what I've been told its not worth the money to get down there. On the other hand I like to explore eat good food and do photography. Worth it?

Besides the BS Tijuana offers a lot to do. Thats what the attraction is for me at least.

Signing off from Centro. Medellin.

SAN DIEGO (CNS). The increase in sexually transmitted diseases in San Diego outpaced the nationwide uptick in 2012, according to a report out Monday.

In figures compiled by the USA Centers for Disease Control, increases were discovered both nationally and locally for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis in 2012, the most recent year for which figures are available.

Gonorrhea cases increased 4. 1 percent in the USA for men and women, but the national rate for men was 8. 3 percent. In San Diego, incidences of gonorrhea increased 19 percent to nearly 83 cases per every 100, 000 people. About 30 percent of the cases were in men ages 20-29.

Syphilis went up 11 percent nationally, with three-quarters of the cases involving men who had sex with other men, according to the CDC. The San Diego rate jumped 12 percent in 2012 to 10. 4 cases per every 100, 000 people. 85 percent involving sex between men.

Nationally, chlamydia cases rose 0. 7 percent, compared to 6 percent in San Diego County, according to a report from the county's Heath and Human Services Agency.

Chlamydia rates in San Diego increased from 496 cases per 100, 000 residents in 2011 to 526 cases per 100, 000 residents in 2012. Forty-five percent of the 16, 545 local chlamydia cases were reported in women 24 years of age and under. Rates in men increased 9 percent from 2011 to 2012.

"Sexually transmitted diseases are a silent, national epidemic," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county public health officer."Doctors need to talk to their patients, and patients need to be open with their medical providers and disclose their sexual history."

Dr. M. Winston Tilghman, the senior physician and STD controller for the county Health and Human Services Agency, said people can decrease their risk of infection by openly discussing STDs, condom use and mutual monogamy with their partners.

Preliminary figures show the rates of infections per 100, 000 in 2013 were similar to 2012, Tilghman said. He said the 2013 statistics are not yet available for release.

Last year, the county started a free home testing program for gonorrhea and chlamydia available to women 25 and younger that can be accessed at DontThinkKnow. Org or by calling (619) 692-5669.

The county also operates four STD clinics, which offer testing and treatment for most STDs on a walk-in basis. The service is part of the county's Live Well San Diego initiative, which aims to improve the health and well-being of all San Diegans.

More information about STDs is available by calling (619) 293-4700.

i've been going down to tijuana since january of 2013, having moved from san antonio, texas to san diego. at first it was a lot of fun. nice looking women in hk, adelitas, tropical and chevelas. the latter places, tropical and chavelas, didn't have as many good looking women as the other places but there were always a few. i used to frequent tijuana starting back in 1999. at that time up until about 2006, when i moved to texas, the biggest action in town was had in adelitas and chicago. chicago, in my opinion had even better looking chicks than adelitas. boy have things changed, however, i'm burned out on the whole scene.

when i moved to texas, i used to go with a friend down to nuevo laredo. it's a totally different vibe down there. some great bars downtown. the girls down there are a lot mellower and cooler than those in tijuana. you don't get the constant hustle from friggin waiters parading girl after girl over to your table and getting pissed when you don't keep ordering beers. nor do you get scammed like i have been in both tropical and chavelas, where i have been short changed on many occasions. then there are the police. in nuevo laredo, the police had all their weapons confirep001ed and all removed from their jobs due to complicity with the cartel. so, it's only the military policing the town, unlike tijuana, where the damn corrupt cops will rob you blind. i had an experience in tijuana, in the zona norte walking from adelitas to chicago, where 2 male cops stopped me and had me spread eagle on the hood of the car. the next thing i knew, one was pulling a planted baggy of mary jane out of my pocket. they proceeded to drive me around tijuana, rifling through my wallet. i had my driver license and an atm card in my wallet and they demanded i pull money out to compensate for their drugs. i told them i only had about $100 in my account, if that. one of them walked with me over to the atm and made me give him my pin number. then he took it upon himself to do the rest. luckily, i only had $120 in my account and they took it all. got back in the car, they drove me around a little bit and asked me how much i paid to park. i told them 8 bucks. of which they gave me the 8 bucks and dropped me off by the linea. that was real nice of them to do that as i had all kinds of visions of what they could have done to me. they are all a bunch of corrupt bastards. be careful to avoid them at all costs when walking from bar to bar in la zona. it's just a matter of time before they pull something. avoid j walking as they lie in wait to pop you and bribe you out of money. use the crosswalks and do not make eye contact whatsoever with them.

anyway, after getting totally hustled this past week by both waiters and chicas, i am totally burned out on tijuana. to be honest with you, i would say that adelitas is probably your best choice of bars as the waiters are cool and you can actually chill somewhat without getting the hustle. problem is, most of the chicas are professionals, many very hardened. they will take you up to la hotel coahuila and you'll get a knock on the door after about 20 minutes, which is usually the arrangement they have with the towel jockeys. it's all a ripoff! yea, i know some of you will tell me differently, and that's cool. i'm just tired of the whole scene and the hustle.

if you ever want a change of venue, head on over to nuevo laredo. yea, you may still get hustled, but not as much and i think you'll like the cheap drink prices and mellow chicks.

be careful though. in one month a few years ago, saw the aftermath of soldiers riddling a pickup with machine gun fire and seeing the dead in the cab as well as two people getting killed in the bar right before my buddy and i were headed over to it. other than that, it is a fun time.

I have been mongering in Tijuana for 10 years, and I was stopped by the cops for the first time last year. I was sober and minding my own. I wonder why all this has been happening so much lately. Participating in WWG is now a dangerous endeavor.

[FlapJacK]

How about making note of the number markings on the car and or the plate numbers? I would think this would be a dead giveaway.

As for money. Keep a limited amount in your pocket for decoy and keep the rest in your sock under the foot.

Its bad enough dealing with dirty corrupt people and even worse when its cops.

Bienvenidos a Tijuana.

It's very difficult, and may not be worth the hassle, but if you can look carefully, note any physical characteristics, time of day, etc, you can file a complaint. They'll ask you to identify the cops in question. That's the hardest part, as I don't think they have badge numbers, or anything like that. Again, it may not be worth the hassle for $40, but if the amount were larger it certainly would be.

I have no empirical evidence, but it seems the shakedowns may be increasing. We all need to be on guard at all times, which sucks big time.

Glad you made it through it with the loss of "only" $40.

Rocky the Flying Squirrel is preparing something of a surprise for this weekend.

I think it involves some booze and another chica. Might be interesting.

More as it develops.

That happened to me once before also. Once you get inside the terminal, the ready late gets slower than general public. I think it was due to they had more officers working the general lanes rather than the ready / sentri.

This has only happened to me once, and several months ago, so I don't think it is a sign of any undesirable changes to ready lane. Next time I get into this situation, ill just get into the general lane, and take advantage of the additional staffing.

Yes that would be the right decision. Seeing as how the ready lane stayed in one single file line. As the general lane gets close to the CBP officers it splits into about 5 lines. Anyway it wasn't that bad of a wait about 25 minutes.

[Phordphan]

Was this very late on Sunday? Enva is on Calle Primera, aka articulo 123, right? I haven't been down to Tijuana in a long time, but I've seen some real nasty shit go down right about there. Despite testimony from other Tijuana mongers, I will contuniue to avoid that area. Especially after dark. I'm glad you avoided a bigger loss by doing what you did.

My biggest concern is that rip-offs from cops may be on the rise. This is not the only recent report of such.

Yes, I don't like that portion of Primera, either. The darker it gets the creepier it gets. If I have to walk out of the zona at night I always head south up Constitucion until I get to 2do, then cut back over to Revu.

[PimpinIt]

The Ready Lane has really been a benifit for me over the last 3 months. However today was a little different. I crossed back to the USA around noon. Althought the lines were not to bad. When I got in line the Ready Lane line was at the exact same spot as the general public line. I still waited in the Ready Lane, which was a mistake the General Public lane ended up moving faster. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

200 pesos would last me about an hour in the Zona.

It is not your fault you lost money. It's those fucking monkeys that wear uniforms. They have been searching Gringos a lot lately. When I left HK to go to Tropical last Friday, I looked both ways before crossing, not for traffic, but for those fucking clowns and their trucks!

Welcome to the club!

The 200 pesos is so I DON"T go with any other chica. She is getting real jealous lately. Jajaja
