Get the HK coupons ,that is a free drink and your taxi fare.

Here's where I'm kinda confused, if I base purchases on 10-1 exchange rate but I get 13-1 when I exchange my money, I'm actually spending less right?

That is the whole purpose of using pesos.

Your kinda fuzzy on what you want as far as chicas but almost anything can be worked out. Figure for 60-70 pesos for each 15 minute of a room (still cheaper than using USD) Hotels use 12-1 exchange. Each hotel has different prices.

Most your bargaining is with the chica...price for services.

Are you talking about a club chica ? You said something about 700 pesos.

Non club chica is where you stay close to 10-1 rates in your mind but you can use it for bargaining with the club chicas too but by using pesos you'll get a better deal.Deal in 50 pesos($3.75USD) increments instead of $5 USD.

I have talked in past posting on all of this, I was annoying some so I let it go. Read some back post, you are on the right track, be confident .

Intercalifornias bus in OC Santa Ana bus station is $23 bucks round trip. Actually it's $23 from East L.A. Probably cheaper from the OC.

I can do a cheap run which is usually all I do now for $120. This is limited to one girl though and I don't do money exchange.

$23 for bus
$60 for girl
$12 for room
$17 for drinks
$1 cum boy tip
$7 for tacos & drink
__________
$120

I always end up spending more because I like to do extras with the girl and perhaps buy more than a couple of drinks. But if you stick to the above plan you should be good.

That is a realistic goal ! The chicas do not basically keep up with the daily exchange rates. The clubs do not either. Club give you a straight 12 to 1 rate for drinks(saves a little cash).

Math for drinks is simple in clubs. If they ask ,say, $7.00 USD then math is 12x7 which is 70 +(2x7)=70+14=84 pesos. $3.50 drink is 3.5x12=35+(3.5x2)=35+7=42 pesos. I shortcut through the math and x2 the number and then add to the original.
Now arriba at top price of $60 USD should be 720 pesos and $50 is 600 pesos. Now remembering that the the chicas were last year going arriba for 600 peso and 500 peso lets you know your realistic scale for negotiations are 500 to 720 pesos depending on your way/time of doing things.

Paradita (not sw) is all negotiations with a 10 - 1 exchange in your mind (200 pesos is $20 and 300 pesos is $30). So it is how much service you can get for the price you want to pay.

Taxi 50 pesos(tell them first), tips are 5 to 10 pesos and $1 tacos are 10 pesos.

Using pesos will without question save anyone money! How much will depend on you!
Math a problem , take a cheat sheet with you. Simple

So they are actually working from a 10-1 to 12-1 exchange?

Okay here the rough draft -

Greyhound Roundtrip: $36.00

Taxi from boarder to Revolution: 50 pesos ($5)

Question - Are the Libra Taxis available? I haven't seen one yet, just Yellow cabs

That's $41US thus far, that leaves roughly $119US

Here's where I'm kinda confused, if I base purchases on 10-1 exchange rate but I get 13-1 when I exchange my money, I'm actually spending less right?

666.28p = $50.00US Real exchange rate

600.00p = $45.03US Chica/Bar exchange rate

But they seem to think 600p is $60.00US correct? In fact I am saving $15.00, almost the price of one way bus ticket and it covers my purchase of food and soda (I don't drink). If I eliminate ficha drinks (straight into negotiations) and take a soda as to not be bothered, total transaction shouldn't be higher than $46-47US right?

How's here is something tricky -

I am not talking about AB here and I will not say were I am talking about. But if I wanted a short-time hotel, how much can I expect to pay and can I work that into the negotiations, say 700p for off-site?

Help me work this, I don't want to delay the trip I get and extra check this month, everything is covered...

I was able to make a detour on a business trip and spend some time in Tijuana. My Flight got into SD about 6:30 on a Thursday and I was scheduled to fly out Saturday afternoon. So, less than 48 hours.

I had reserved a Motel room at the Travel Lodge in San Yrodio. $56 per night. It's about a mile to the border and I easily walked that in about 15 minutes. So I got to Tijuana about 9:00 PM. Note if you're thinking about buying some "V" or"c". The drug stores close about 8:00 PM. My plan was to buy some "C" (36 hours would be about perfect for my stay). But they were closed.

While I went to all the usual places, I had the best time at La Valentina. The enterence is in the alley. How can you beat 2 beers for 3 bucks. I hooked up with "Candy" and definately had a GF experience. We spent a lot of time dancing and fondling and finally went upstairs about 5:00 in the morning. The session was terrific and I was pleasently surprise with what was available. $50+10 room + 1 for the clean up boy. Certainly not rushed and I know I spent more than 1/2 hour. Taxi back to the border and walked a mile back to the travelodge.

Went Back on Friday afternoon and walked to Reveloution. No problem walking over the bridge. Stopped at the Casino. So everyone knows there are no table games. Just slots and a sports book. It was crowded on this Friday afternoon. The good news is it was one of the few places air conditioned.

Later back in the Zona. Hong Kong was packed. I have never seen so many girls dancing at the same time. The baths were being used by 2 chicas in each and on the stage two girls were soaping each other up. The visual experience should not be missed while in Tijuana.

I did not partake on Friday night as I was worried about making my Saturday flight. Almost was talked into a quickie by a SW but backed out.

Overall I enjoyed my time in Tijuana and look forward to sneaking back.

Enjoy!

When I go to a new area with my Verizon I dial *228 and get my towers in the area updated for better service. I even do it every month or so, in home area, in case they get new towers. So it would be advised to update your roaming capabilities right before you cross the border (parking lot). I have noticed from 1 to 2 bar differences in signal strength. You guys can try this right where you are now and see the difference.

[Cobra Comander]

Some, do, some don't. My Verizon will work on the corner of Con and Coahuila, but not in the alley. I won't work in CC, but may in the rooms.

My Boost Mobile is similar.

YMMV.

The only place my phone seems to work is upstairs on the north side in Hong Kong, Mermaids, La Perla and also discovered today that I get service in Bar Delicious.

CC

Looking to go to TJ for the first time. Possibly stay the night. Does domestic/us cell phone service extend into the zona (HK/Adelita area)?

The best thing to do is call your cell phone provider and ask them. Each provider is different and some have a way to extend your coverage area.

Okay I am trying to understand this as best as possible. I'm on a total budget and in need of services...

I am trying to keep it to $150 max, two girls (not SW), including a bite to eat at some fast food place, or street tacos or whatever and the ride back to Los Angeles.

About $47US is 600 Pesos. I asked before if he chicas are doing the math, in other words keeping track of day to day exchange rates?

I'm going to try to do one of these "budget runs" that some of you guys are famous for and try and get two hours of pleasure from one, two, maybe three providers.

Thanks

Sounded like you had a great time and most likely not forget it for years.

Oddly for me, the memories afterwards tend to be better than the live actual event. But that's just me...

I think it depends on whether your phone has a 'sim' card. My phone works in the U.S. side parking lot, but does not work just across the border.

[Sgt Perv]

Day dreaming about my time on the flight back to FL, I think I could have saved $50 by negotiating, anywhere from $50-80 on ladies drinks, and another $100 by not taking any of the girls for an hour. Although, taken to the extreme I could have stayed home and watched porn and saved even more

Noway should you short yourself your pleasures, just save yourself a little money in the process. Do what you want and remember their culture is all about the haggling. Just part of doing business in Mexico.

Simply by using pesos would have save you some money on all the drinks you bought( your and the ladies) plus your arribas.

It was gone when I woke up in that abandoned alley including my pants. And don't even get me started on the hangover afterwards.

So the condom hanging out of your butt and the 50 pesos in your hand did not bother you?
