After all, only a bunch of insane perverts would run through a hail of bullets in order to get aids. What kind of sane person would risk almost certain death to go to TJ???!!! LOL. So when they ask you WHY OH WHY did you go down there, consider it a compliment on your bravery. We should get medals.

I really doubt they are THAT ignorant. lol.

[Rabo Verde]

You are taking their questions too seriously. The border guys go to a sort of "roll call" like cops b4 their shift and occasionally get fired up at random to ask questions, maybe you look like some vague drawing of some guy they saw on a poster, etc.

Also, most of the CBP guys NEVER go into Tijuana, they are 100 meters away and never go, so they know LESS than nothing. They are highly discouraged to go, get their info from silly briefings and TV and wild rumors like everyone else.

If you want a laugh, do a YOUTUBE search for "GLENN BECK, MEXICO" and listen to him screaming how we have to send the Marines into Mexico to "stop the invasion" LOLOL, that's what the border guards "know" about TJ.

They are afraid of getting kidnapped, or investigated for corruption if they enter Mexico, etc., so they are just curious what kinda desperate crazy people would go to a place where bullets are flying and people are dropping like flies from the FLU and all the girls have AIDS, etc.

I came back from T.J around 4 AM on Friday the 16th. There was no line coming back, in fact it was the fastest crossing I can remember. The border agent just swiped my passport with out asking a single question. I love these scary days. No line crossing back, lower prices, better service. I went thru in just a few minutes. Got to the line at 6:50 PM and was on the 7:04 PM Rte 929 bus.

Tequila ! ..CBP waved and smiled.

...Went to the door & gave them a $20 for the Tecata. Door boy hands me back $15. Then waits. When I didn't move, he hands me back a dollar more. Then waits. I gave him a dirty look. Then he surrenders 50 cents more. What a fucker. Tries to stiff me out of 50 cents. He's lucky he can kick my ass too. Otherwise, I'd give him an earful.

Before anyone calls me cheap,...

Great report.

I don't like that b. S. Either. And then they give us attitude.

I also don't like tipping for services I never asked for.

Has any one experienced tough question from a US border agent since the incident or told it is unsafe to be in Tijuana (10 pm - 6am) and requesting great personal detail and questioning the purpose of the trip?

So many US border agents around for few travelers in the late hour. Is it safe for TJ travelers?

Yes, we can move on but how does the incident reflect on CBP current action at SY.

The purpose of my trip was to go to go go bars. That's still legal. They can ask whatever they want, tough or otherwise. They have no influence on me nor do I think they know anymore than I do, from watching CNN.

I'm heading to Cabo mid June with stops in La Paz and Cd. Constitution on the way. It's one of the most beautiful drives a man can make in this part of the world, excepting of course the run from Acapulco to Lazaro Cardenas; Playas Azul is right up there with some of the best scenes in Hawaii.

Mexico is a beautiful country.

Driving to Cabo is serious business. Definitely not 5th wheel roads unless you are a seasoned driver with lots of experience. Even with that I'd advise you to take a vehicle that handles well, especially on windy mountain roads. A 5th wheel will add days to the trip and increase the margin of danger.

No worries about the car - a newish 4x4 - handles everything I've given it. I suspect the road is similar to the road between Guaymas and Nogales? I've also driven many times the roads between Mexicali and Rocky Point, and Mcali and TJ.

Looking forward to it. Can you share details on the chica scene in Cd. Constitution / La Paz? Wouldn't mind take-out from Ensenada for company on the way to Cabo / La Paz. Taking the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan as well, so I'll have to check out your 'Playa Azul' - sounds fantastic!

i went down friday hoping to get an early jump on the memorial day weekend traffic. got there at about 12 noon. obviously the girls were still asleep from the night before as there were more waiters in the clubs than girls.

after taking a disappointing peep into the clubs, i found myself at my favorite restaurant. la pearla. it is on the opposite corner from hong kong. ordered the seafood enchilada which contained cut up shrimps, octopus, & fish in a green sauce. incredibly good dish. but unless you can handle spicy food like me, i recommend that you ask the waitress to make it less spicy.

thereafter i returned to hong kong where the girls finally made it in. because it was memorial day weekend, the new girls wore cute camouflaged outfits. and oddly enough many of the regular girls had costumes on. pirates of the caribbean. persian princess. flight attendant. i felt like i was at disney land.

then i took a look at the alley, which isn't an actual alley. it's minor street in the back of the main boulevard. interesting enough all the girls were in their prettiest dresses. they didn't wear their usual "slutty" outfits. they looked more like "club" girls. i was very tempted, but didn't have the courage to try one.

walked around the block then ended up back at adelitas. it started to fill up. but as odd as it sounds, its crowd level was like thursday. i spend some time there, got bored, and returned to hong kong.

there i found "the girl" i've waited for my whole life. well, at least when i saw her, it felt like it. if i was 21 again, it would've been love at first sight. but since i'm in my 40s and in tijuana, i really wanted to screw her. she wanted $80 even after a drink. romantic isn't it?

after i told her i loved her about a dozen times, she finally settled on $60. not bad when she initially told me to take my $60 and go back to adelitas while walking away. wow. tough love. but up we went. in the room, she used some sort of industrial thickness condom. it looked & felt more like latex than a condom. i felt like i was wearing an nbc suit preparing for a chemical attack. we went at it for about 40 minutes.

on the way out, the cleaning boy wanted an extra $12 for the extra 10 minutes. when i refused, he told his elderly boss and the both of them badgered me for the extra cash. really pisses me off. lucky for them they each can kick my ass. when confronted by an overwhelming threat, i did what i'm good at. i ran.

it was around 7, i ran back to la pearla and order the gigantic fish special. it's basically a one pound bbq grilled fish loaded with sweet onions & peppers. what can i say? i like mexican seafood food as much as i like mexican women.

afterwards, i took one last trip into hk. went to the door & gave them a $20 for the tecata. door boy hands me back $15. then waits. when i didn't move, he hands me back a dollar more. then waits. i gave him a dirty look. then he surrenders 50 cents more. what a fucker. tries to stiff me out of 50 cents. he's lucky he can kick my ass too. otherwise, i'd give him an earful.

before anyone calls me cheap, i generally give out about 4-5 dollars in quarters to the kids and charities in the street whenever i'm down here. i just get a little peaved when the goons think of me as an imbecile.

personal observation between hk and adelitas. it seems that the girls are at adelitas to go upstairs. they're not there to mingle. the drink that you buy them are just something they actually have to do to remain employed. at hk, it seems that the prettiest girls are there to have drinks. so they often (the best looking ones) quote outrageous prices.

vitamins are actually sold in the adelitas bathroom. but you need to ask the bathroom boy. in the past, they actually lined up viagra. but i suspect that the local authorities notice that the bathroom was a poor area to distribute prescription medication.

i had a talk with the local pharmacist. according to him, viagra is the most potent. but only an 8 hour duration and isn't as nice on your heart. cialis is the least potent, it last up to 36 hours. levitra is somewhere in between in terms of potency & risk.

in the past, i tried 1/3 a cialis. but this time i tried the entire 20 mg pill to see how it works. it's pretty potent stuff as i walked around with a continuous erection. the down side is that it was very difficult to have an orgasm. great if you're an aspiring porn star. bad if you need to finish. so even if cialis isn't supposed to be so potent, it's still pretty strong for someone in their 40s and in good shape. and it seems that the hours duration period is accurate as i still have a major boner while writing this report on saturday afternoon.

security isn't as heavy as in the past. i didn't see armed swat teams with automatic weapons patrolling the zone anymore. also when i reentered the us, our border guards seemed like they weren't as diligent as in the past.

editor's note: i would suggest that the author or another forum member consider posting a link to this report in the reports of distinction thread. please click here for more information.

Freezin,

Sounds like it may be a little early for you, but I'll be driving Baja to Cabo myself in late June. If you can't make it then to caravan, at least look for an additional post from me after that time. If none exists, I may not have made it and proceed with caution!

Tjfun is right, we should leave the paranoia talk to the crimes and safety thread. The last thing I will add though is that there was a note left with the bodies of the 4 teens. The note talked about how the kids owed the killers drug money and also something about "let it be a warning to others who try to rip them off." I saw this on the nightly news a few days after the attack happened.

Wow, what a great site this is! I ran across ISG a few weeks ago and have been reviewing this forum as well as the Dominican Rep. Forum ever since. I'm convinced that some of you are former "Penthouse Forum" letter contributors (LOL) but all the info you guys provide is really fantastic. Thanks a lot!

Anyway, I'm heading to Tijuana (from Bonnyville, Alberta) once the Flu scare is over to get some dental work done and plan to stay at the Marriot for a 2 or 3 weeks. Can someone let me know if the Hotel is chica friendly and if any of the Escort agencies are any good?

I'm also thinking (always a bad sign! ) of buying a Fifth Wheel trailer and travelling solo (except for the occassional chica or 2! ) thru the Baja to Cabo and then down the West Coast to PVR in Sept. Or Oct. Am I out of my freakin mind to consider this? Will I at least make it to Ensenada alive? I read a lot of negative press online, but normally take it with a grain of salt. Our provincial capital city, Edmonton, has already had something like 38 murders this year, so I figure that you're just as safe in Mexico. I should probably mention that I'm 50 and don't have a lot of mongering experience and I just started learning Spanish with Rosetta Stone.

Any insights or comments are greatly appreciated and thanks again for all your previous posts.

No offense but....

Shouldn't these crime reports be in the CRIME SECTION?

If you guys are not reporting on your actions with girls in TJ then post in the correct section.

Sorry, but this is getting boring.
And, sorry, a bit silly. Yes, the media highlights crime in TJ just as it highlights the shooting of a BLACK RAPPER! In both cases the media sensationalizes crime involving certain segments of society.

Now lets get back to reporting on the TJ girls. Please!

TJ

[Rabo Verde]

Hey I am down in TJ and it is real quiet here, but I heard some guy got shot at the BEVERLY CENTER, so I am afraid to go home to Beverly Hills...

Do you think I will be safe???????

Monday, May 18th, the Atlanta hip-hop scene lost one of its most promising up-and-comers, and the DJBooth lost one of its most supportive artists; The Gang Ent/Konvict Muzik rapper Dolla was gunned down in a group altercation outside Los Angeles' Beverly Center Mall.
