Glad $30 is the cost of admission for 6 months. I've had to get business visas for other countries and you have to write a letter of justification from sponsor and then have their embassy approve you in addition to charging you $300-$500. I just wish they made it easier for the chicas to come visit in SoCal.

Columbia would be cool to try, but have read on their trip reports of being held up at gunpoint and the chicas purse stolen by motobike guys. Some say not to be out after sunset. I'd really need to get my bearings, but the pricing seems to be the best compared to Thailand. Also some of the bros reports are pretty entertaining for Medellin.

Doesnt mean we have to be an asshole about it, but if they want me to part with my dollar, then I should get some entertainment value for it. I hate the ladies that just walk around asking for a dollar just because you have a stack in front of you. I should start asking for a dollar every time they touch my ass, chest, or junior,

If the girls walking around asking for dollars were attractive. I would not mind but normally they are not so hot so kind of a turn off for me and I have to play this "try to be nice" about getting rid of them game. Ironically they have to play this "I am turned on" game with all the old fat gringo's who fuck them so it's kind of what comes around goes around.

The 7 day FMM is free, the 180 day FMM is $30. If $30 is a deal breaker you should just stay home and find a different hobby.

I walked across yesterday at pedwest and I handed the dude my FFM receipt I printed offline with my passport and he looked like he could care less about the fmm. He asked where is my registration? I said I filled everything out online and printed the conformation. He got annoyed and said I need the registration filled out. I said ok, well do you have a registration form here that I can fill out? He did, and so I filled it out, but apparently I'm only allowed to stay seven days. Although, I doubt I'll get deported if I stay longer.

Thanks for any information.

Take the 992 bus from the airport too America Plaza and get on the blue line down to the border. It will cost $2. 50 for bus and $2. 50 for trolly, takes about an hour total.

When you return from Tijuana, please contribute a trip report. Since 2012, you've asked nothing but questions about Tijuana, Panama, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic and haven't written a single trip report about those locations. Not trying to troll or insult you. It's just that ISG members like you who ask many questions, but who then don't write trip reports, are frequently ignored in this forum.

Good luck mongering in Tijuana. We look forward to reading your trip reports. Be a "maker" and not just a "taker."

You might be wasting your time. Not sure if this guy ever goes anywhere.

Depending on my mood, I usually just approach the lady that catches my eye and ask if it is ok to sit and if friendly, then buy them a drink. Usually other ladies scatter, but some stick around, maybe they hope I buy them a drink as well? It is your money and up to you on how you want to party. I have toddler Spanish skills, so if you are fluent, then sure it is easier approach. Either way, what junior wants, junior usually gets.
