The girls who I have shown Duolingo to have loved it. They think it is hilarious when I practice and they always jump in with things like "That's not how you would say that. " I have to explain that they are starting very simple, with present tense only and no slang. They always make fun of the stilted grammar, like Henry Higgins teaching Eliza. "Please direct me to the nearest train station. ".

Wow, that is surprising, but in a good way. How many times have you sessioned with her before? It is obvious you guys have built up a good rapport with each other.
And your strategy of having the girls teach you Spanish is a good one. I have the Duolingo App on my phone, but I found out that you need phone service in order for the app to work. (I do not have phone service in Tijuana.) Next time, I plan on either bringing a small book down or print out some lessons like you did.

There's a good lesson. As I read your story, when you said you paid her to go to Azul, I thought 'eh, I don't know if that's a wise move. ' Even at $15, eh, I don't know. But when I read she only took half, it made me smile. You are dead on! So much of what I read on this board is how cutthroat some of these girls are. Or how it is painful for some guys to fork over two quarters as a tip to a mesero. I think the lesson here is that you treated this girl with respect. I dare say that you will be rewarded, not just with the $7 you saved. Clearly you are a good person. And whether or not these girls share notes, they all pick up on the good guys vs the others and the experience we receive is based on that fact. There are no doubt sharks out there. But those are pretty easy to weed out with just the slightest common sense. But well done, Goyo.
Just my opinion.

Ha, Paradita, not Perdita. They are parada, standing, hence paradita. Perdita is close to perdida, lost. Freudian slip?

What I Did On My Summer Vacation.
The "Reports" heading of this section reminds me of when as a little kid we reported on what we did over the summer.
So now that were adults the report are a little more interesting. But the topic has not changed.
Just back from HK and Zona Norte. Met up with my favorite Perdita from the alley and after our session I negotiated a little extra money if she would go to Azul's with me and exchange practice time for Spanish for me and English for her. There are many web sites out there with typical words and phrases for conversational Spanish. Here is one as an example. I just printed a copy of the phrases and brought them with me and we went through them and she got to practice her English as well. Originally I offered ten and she wanted $15. Which is a little high. But she took herself off the street for 1/2 hour so no arriba for a bit. Then the oddest thing happened. I went to give her the $15. And she only took half. She realized that she wanted to learn English a bit as well and she found value in our practice time. The kindness of many Mexican girls continues to amaze and surprise me.

Funny in 1980 I drove into Tijuana, but I was not a Monger at the time. I saw guys sleeping on the sidewalk, and was so surprised. After many trips to MDE I just walk around them now without a thought. Looking forward to make a visit there in the future. Of course a TR will follow.
Global entry account will be linked to your passport and they should stamp it upon entering Mexico. When you go in for your interview with the CBP officer be sure to ask him all your questions, make him earn his pay.

Your Global Entry card will let you use the SENTRI lane when returning to the US on foot (it doesn't mean anything when leaving the US). Just follow the signs for SENTRI when you approach the border and walk past the regular line. I've never had then stamp my passport, but I usually show them my passport card so it's not even an option.

When you come back thru there is a special lane you won't need to stand in the regular long line. PedWest for example. There is often a long line of people on the right side of the walkway. You just walk by all of them on the left side and when you get to the gate where you come through the turnstile, just have your Global Entry and Passport or Passport card in hand to show them and they will wave you through in front of the others in line.
Then when you get to the second area a few feet later inside the building. Just stay way to the right (it doesn't look like a line as it's empty most of the time), when you get to the front of the line just wait for one of the guards to wave you over to his booth area and he will expedite you going thru with just a basic question of where your going or if anything to declare. I remember one time cracking a joke when he said are you bringing anything across. I said just memories.

You don't need the Global Entry Card when you enter the US by air because when you scan your passport, it will detect that you have Global Entry. But for land crossing, you need the actual Global Entry card. You also don't need it to walk into Mexico. You only need it to walk back into the US. In Pedwest, you're going into the Sentri line. If there's a long line, just walk past everyone till you get to the gate and show one of the CBP agents your Global Entry card to let you in. Then you go on the Sentri line (usually there's no line). I've gotten my passport stamped maybe 3 out of 10 times I've walked into Tijuana but I've never had it stamped when I was re-entering the US. Tbh I think it depends how busy it is when you cross if they will stamp your passport. I've crossed to Tijuana on a weekday and they would just wave me past without looking at my passport. I've crossed on a weekend and a weekday holiday and they had me fill out a customs form and stamped my passport. Some CBP agents won't bother to look at your passport (you don't have to pull it out of your pocket).

Will need to check out Brazil. Heard many good things about it. Rio I am guessing. Cartagena, Columbia is also in the bucket list. Crime in Rio makes me a little nervous but considering I survive in Tijuana quite often I am hoping that has been a good training ground for not doing stupid things.

I guess it is because of the way society brainwashes people in the US and tells them that marriage and monogamy is the "right way" to live. If only people would be more open minded to things, they can discover the fun that is out there. As a side note, I recommend you look into Brazil, especially now that they got rid of their Visa requirements. From reading some of your posts, I think you would love it there. It is more expensive than Tijuana, but I believe it's a country every monger should visit at least once.

Speaking 5 languages, I have said this many times before. When you don't speak the language, you do not have to worry about hearing women complain because you don't know what the fuck they are saying anyway. My first time in Colombia I did not speak Spanish. This non-pro lawyer that I was messing with was trying to get me to buy her a plane ticket. Not knowing Spanish "I did not understand" what she was talking about. Had I known Spanish at the time, I would not have been able to fake the funk.

Man you are funny. She LET you kiss her? Yipee! Do yourself a favor and stay away from Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, and Philippines. You will go to those places and blow a gasket. I totally get it though. When you are home starving, a bologna sandwich tastes just as good as a ribeye.

So it kind of a mind fuck to come back and keep editing my personal dialog when something I am talking about with someone else reminds me of some experience in Tijuana. I have shared that I go down there with a few close friends but it's tough with others.

Viagra to the rescue. Actually there are benefits to girlfriends as well like speaking the same language as I don't know Spanish very well. And relating to the same world growing up in the US. Same culture.
But for now. Fun times in Tijuana!
What could be better than not speaking the same language.
I get you on what is available in the you. S for us over 50 gang. Well I have a Tijuana GF and we don't speak the same language and life is berry berry good.
