It is fairly routine for the police to search people to see if they can extract a bribe. If is better carry your money in your body. This way you have more control if the cops search you. If I sense a cop is going to stop me I immediately take money out and hold it in my hand with my cell phone. The cops will often say they need to search your wallet and take some money. I have noticed the police have not been shaking people down much in the Zona recently. I believe this is because there the national guard is patrolling.

I came across some what of a alley that has steps that go up to the main street. I thought it would be a good spot since not a lot of people where walking up the steps. After a couple of minutes hanging out there and taking photos while I was moving around a portable $5 tripod for my phone I noticed 2 cops walking down the steps and sure enough they began asking me questions, what was I doing, where I was from, what do I do for a living, have I visited before etc. I didn't think of it at the time but I told them I've been to tijuana several times and everything has always been cool and no one's ever bother me. They could of taken that the wrong way. One of the cops asked me what I had in my hand and I explained to him it was a bluetooth clicker for the tripod to take pictures. After asking for my ID they informed me that they were doing random searches to look for any contraband or weapons and I said that's fine. I had a small cross shoulder bag on me and I opened it up for them, at the same time I was keeping my eyes on them making sure they wouldn't slip something in my bag. I had my wallet in there with like $200 usd and I was like shit I can kiss that money goodbye. He questioned me about some cigars I had and asked me if there was any illegal substance in it. But I kept calm and told them no and where I bought the cigars. To my surprise they they gave me my ID back and told me to have a good day. I thought for sure I was going to have to at least give some money up but apparently either not every cop down there out to get you or I just got lucky. Keep in mind there was 2 cops and I was alone in that pathway of stairs. They could of easily planted something on me and ask me to pay a fine to let me go. I'm thinking they were looking to shake down people who have weed etc on them and extort them. Either way that was my cue to get the hell out of there because I noticed they came back down the stairs when they saw that I was leaving the area. I wasn't taking any chances and had a uber on it's way to pick me up LOL.

I was at HK club during an early morning for the finals for a 2018 World cup game that Mexico played at. And it was a blast. All the gals stopped dancing.
The club became a regular sports club for about an hour.
At least for me, sometimes it's nice to get out of Zona Norte, LOL. I get that for the games where Mexico is playing everyone in the club (including the workers) would be focused on that, but am thinking for the games not involving Mexico they'll have the music blasting with girls constantly approaching you. Would rather chill and focus solely on enjoying the game with other sports fans. With that said, I'll definitely still check out the Zona during the World Cup and at least see how it is.

Thanks. For something like a huge sporting event I'm all about the crowds so I'll check out Revolucion and see what's good up there thanks. I've seen on TV in the past that maybe they even set up big screen viewing right by the Arch (though I'd probably prefer a seat inside a bar and don't know how chilly it'll end up being.
Also in your hotel room, check the TV channels. Mexico has tons of channels and I'm sure there will be World Cup 2022 somewhere because Mexico is also playing.

Alot of interesting comments on MDE vs Tijuana. I'll offer my opinion. I'm a bit of a veteran now in both locations. Disclaimer: I do have a slight preferrence for MDE. But I want to give two thoughts.
1 - It's pointless to compare the two. At least not with a definitive answer. They both have pros and cons comparatively. But I would say the pro vs con depends on the monger and their preferences. So I'd say research and determine what you like. If HK is your speed, there is no HK in MDE. If you are into lengthier dates, MDE is where you should go. There are dozens of variables and plenty of fellow mongers to help you out. I'd just be aware of your "hunting" style.
2- I would never say MDE is more dangerous. Not sure I'd say Tijuana is more dangerous either. Yes, there is one area of MDE I would not wander around after dark. Beyond that, most of what you hear is overblown or speculation. Virtually all of the gringo areas in MDE are extremely safe. Here again, we all have different comfort levels. But if you avoid Centro in MDE at night, I don't think your odds of trouble are any higher in MDE.
Anyone wants my own opinion, PM me. Or I'll be in the zona Saturday.

Any seniors (capitan, dogers) who have exp with mexico scene any insights, I can't do escorts, prefer the club scene.
I've spent a lot of time in CDMX over the last ten years, and I'm sorry to say, but you're SOL on finding anything resembling HK, AB, etc. Your options are street girls, in several different areas, escorts, or my preferred route, SA.

ABC News just reported some kid from Orange County was drugged and robbed while vacationing in Madeline. But the thieves fucked up and gave him too much drugs and killed him. And now the robbery turned turned into a murder 2 full blown investigation.

I hear ya CAP. Recently researching Medellin for Christmas week and the cost was expensive to fly but watching many YouTube video's it sounds like it was safer before Covid but since then it actually seems a bit less safe, in part possibly due to the influx of people into Columbia from other countries.
