General Reports

[Tjgoer]

I was doing a Google search for TJ sites and information. I found this site and some others. Some are pay and some are free. Juan's Tijuana looked pretty good but is a pay site but I noticed they have a free membership option. Has anyone on this site tried the free option? It looked very easy to quality if you have been to TJ. I don't want to pay for a site.

I need cross streets, not an address.

going to san diego in a few weeks, anyone know how much a taxi driver charges to san ysidro from the sd airport?

what would be the best and cheapest shuttle carriers?

it will cost you dearly to take a cab all the way to the border from the airport. i'm guessing between $30 to $50 -- maybe more. a shuttle will probably be around $25 to $30 but you'll probably be sharing that with others and you will be the last person the shuttle drops off on their way to the border.

a much cheaper (and fairly quick) method is to get on the bus right outside the airport on harbor drive that heads downtown. (when you leave the airport, cross harbor drive and find a bus stop. you can see the downtown skyscrapers from the airport.) ask the driver for the $5 all-day pass and tell him/her that you want to catch the trolley to san ysidro. the driver will drop you off at the santa fe depot right downtown on broadway. catch the blue line to san ysidro. the trolley will drop you off right at the border crossing.

alternatively, you could walk to the trolley from the airport. it's about 1 1/2 to 2 miles depending on which terminal you arrive at.

note: buying the bus fare and trolley fares separately may be cheaper but you'll need exact change for the bus. the trolley machines can give you change.

In looking at the Quito, Ecuador board, I saw an interesting report posted from the Economist magazine. It referenced an in depth thesis (I think) done by a couple of Berkeley college boys on the sex industry in Ecuador.

http://imio.haas.berkeley.edu/Willia...tler101107.pdf
While the reading tended to be on the dry side, the statistics made me smile, esp when combined with titles like "equilibrium condom use" (swinging dicks anyone?, Page 16).

A telling sentence made me think about the risks inherent in that "charity fuck" we've all considered when faced with a pleading hag;

"brothel workers tend to be younger, more attractive and better educated. They are also slightly less likely to have an STI"

It was referenced in a more concise and relevant Economist article entitled "Selling sex".

http://www.economist.com/finance/dis...3877#footnote1

In any event, the shocking contrast between sex workers in a developing country like Ecuador (SW using condoms 61% of the time) vs "developed" Chicago (only 25% of the time) makes one consider how much safer P4P is in 3rd world nations. To say nothing of the benefit our USD traffic brings to these girls "winning of hearts and minds".

Hey, look at this board as one continuing learning experience, with professors in the field daily doing empirical research and posting it here.

These are very low quality but kind of give a nice impressionistic view of the HK rear view scene.

[Expat001]

I am an experienced monger (SE Asia, Latin America, Africa etc) and I was doing some work in SD and thought it might be nice to revisit AB and see if the quality had improved since my last visit probably 8 years ago.

First off I would have to disagree with those who say that going to TJ is not a foreign country experience. I think crossing that border, especially on foot is about the most jarring border crossing anywhere in the world and equivalent to crossing from HK into China in the old days. That is part of the adventure/fun of TJ is that you are dropping into a place where everyone speaks a different language and the locals wear different clothes and often cowboy hats and there is a lot of dirt, poverty and general 3rd world squalor. OK there are places in LA that might superficially have a resemblance but TJ is unique in that you are in suburban San Diego one minute and then into the TJ scene in another minute.

Anyway, I headed to HK club first. I have to agree with the other posters who say that the attitude there is lacking as well as the quality. It was fun to be there on a night when the chicas outnumber the guys 20 to 1 but maybe 1 or 2 where in the acceptable category. Most were the typical overweight, big ass variety so beloved by the local guys. Lets face it there are a lot more local guys there than gringos so the market probably is just meeting demand. Most Mexican guys like a big ass and what I would consider a chubby body. The weird thing is if you watch Mex TV they have these amazing Playboy model slim chicas. Need a few more in TJ. The best thing about HK was the jacuzzi bubble bath and the blond dancer on the cat walk who was cranking. At a distance she looked very hot.

Bought a few drinks for myself and a girl, but decided to do the alley run out back. Could not find the one morena I had seen on arrival. But several who could qualify. But decided to go to ABs to check it out. Much improved. There were several slim chicas of reasonable quality but despite drinks and encouragement could not get the price down to what I thought would be reasonable for the quality.

So I went to the nearby massage place and got a sweet girl with long balck hair from Veracruz who had no clue how to massage at all. So I ended up massaging her prior to FS. She gave me an extra hour in return for the massage.

Bottom line TJ is still a fun convenient place to enjoy a different atmosphere and there are a few jewels in the rough. Anyone who does these chicks without a condom or even does uncovered anything in any orifice is really asking for trouble. Chlamydia, syphilis and herpes are easily transferred orally.

Hi guys,

I've mongered in Brazil, China, Philippines, Spain and elsewhere... but I've never traveled to Mexico. As I expect to be in San Diego on business a few weeks from now, I'm thinking of a taking little side trip. Would you please offer some advice and/or suggestions?

1) If I have more than 1-2 nights available, should I consider some destination beyond TJ? If so, where?

2) In TJ, where should I stay? (Considering: low budget, safety, access to the local ladies, and transportation convenience.)

3) Anything/place in particular that I should avoid? (I'm looking for a fun relaxing time on a budget... not a wild drunken brawl, a night in jail, or a chance to get ripped off.)

My general thought is to leave most of my stuff in a rental car parked in San Diego and then take the trolley to the border. Once across the border, I'd pick up a map of TJ, check into a hotel and then go explore. I'm a bit of a cheapskate and generally try to travel as a local would... so I'm not interested in high-end glitzy entertainment or accommodations... and I certainly don't want to overpay for the pleasure of female company.

Please respond here or PM me with your suggestions. Thanks.

Hey,

1. If you have a few nights you could visit Ensenada. It's a short bus ride down the coast. No great shakes, but a slightly more laid-back atmosphere than TJ. That'd be good for a night or two, no more. Lots of other places in Baja, but you'd need more time and would probably have to fly.

2. Low budget digs in TJ are fairly plentiful. Several up and down La Revu, clean, comfortable but usually very noisy until about 3am. La Espana is OK, Nelson is good for the "experience" of an ancient hotel, and hoping the floors don't collapse! Villa Zaragoza is off Revu a bit, behind the Jai Alai fronton, so it's quieter.

3. Just don't get drunk and obnoxious and you'll be fine. Dont wander much outside the zona (walking from Revu to the zona down Constitucion is OK), dont go anywhere with a street tout, don't carry ANY pills, if searched always keep your money in your hand.

[Beverly Hills]

No point in me going to TJ for gas. I'd lose half of it returning back to L.A.

I think those federalis busting down Adelitas are only doing it to make themselves look like they are actually doing something. I'm sure they know they won't find anything at the Zona Roja bars. But hey if they have the power to raid a bar full of hot chicks, I'd be doing the same. They're not going to raid the real drug trafficking places and end up in a gun fight and lose lives. So this is why they raid zona bars, make themselves look like they are working and have the pleasure of gawking at all the chicas.

One of my gals at AB told me the other night that the Federali's come in AS CLIENTS. Usually in the morning hours she said. She also said that is also when most of the narco guys come in-although she said that they account for a small portion of the clientele. Daytime and early evening is the safest time out there. After that, take them back to your hotel and get the hell of of the area. No point in taking the chance of being ANYWHERE when it is more likely to be raided.

[Country John]

I took up Country John's suggestions and tried out Las Pulgas club, a civilian disco club on Revolution.

I was ogling and contemplating my moves on some of the sweetest-looking civilian chicas on the dance floors when the Federales swooped in wearing their black unforms and face masks, aimed their machine guns, stopped the music and checked out ID's of hundreds of people in the club. Needless to say, the chicas and chicos were all pissed off.

They did arrest 2 tough-looking older guys apparently had oustanding warrants. So my take is that the Federales are just not screwing around for nothing. I just hope the Mexican government can manage to clean up the crime, violence and corruption so the people will have a better life. We just cannot give up our fight against evils.

BTW, many chicas in Las Pulgas, including some very good looking young ones, were giving me the eyes before the Federales screwed it up. I suggest that after draining your balls on Coahuila, the bros should try to pick up the civilian chicas in the clubs on Revolution. It would be a a lot of fun.

Perhaps Country John can offer cheap lessons on the art of picking up freebies?? Would a few Coronas in Adelita do?

Yes, the civillian pool of chicas is waiting for the right guys. In my travels in the civilian world in Baja, I get the big eyes all the time from civilians. Many Zona girls go there off duty, so look closely, you might recognize a few.

Yes, contrary to what many people believe, the federales are very serious guys and they ARE having an impact. So far they've removed thousand of fire arms from the street and they should be recognized for that. Mexico DF realizes that the hospitality industry in Baja is a nerve center that can affect commerce and good will everywhere. The world community has been getting the message for many years that Mexico doesn't care and that corruption makes the beast that cannot be tamed.

They busted a Baptism ceremony where they got 60 bad guys, members of the Felix cartel. Got lots of guns, ammo etc.

So this little trick at Las pulgas was intended to send a message to the bad guys that there is no safe place for them anymore, and the message to the good guys is that the federales are working ont he problem, so give them a chance.

I think TJ will clean up easier than Culiacan or Veracruz. The bad guys can't flee North in Baja.

I see positive changes in Tijuana. I am glad I am here. I can't wait until the Via Rapida is finished.

So Las Pulgas is happening and also El Torito (my new spot) is also very nice on Saturdays. It gets busy late (arounf 11 or 12) and the pussy is outstanding, not as much as Las Pulgas, but it should be no problem to hook up there.

Lesson? Sheesh.... just dress smart (not like a tourist), leave the Bernmuda shorts, baseball cap and t shirt home. If you look good, then the girls will want it (because they think you have money).

Be safe and be nice
Country John
