LOL, I don't know man. You're basically saying you know 8 people who've gotten drugged and robbed at least one other person who was robbed and killed down there but at the same time saying "hey, don't worry about all of that. Go down now it's worth it!

Especially if you are a native American who doesn't know any (or speaks very little) Spanish, my opinion is that Tijuana will generally always be the superior option. A good percentage of chicas, meseros, club / hotel staff, etc. In Tijuana speak passable enough English that the "language barrier" isn't too much of an issue there. Would imagine it's much, much more of an issue in South America. There's also a comfort in knowing that the USA Is literally within walking distance / few minutes Uber ride if things get uncomfortable in Tijuana for whatever reason. You're much more isolated in South America in this regard. Not to mention the USA Dollar is universally accepted nearly everywhere in Tijuana, unlike most places in Colombia / Brazil. This all just speaks to most probably having a much higher comfort level in Tijuana, which is much more USA -friendly than South America for the reasons I've mentioned (as well as several other reasons).

Colombia is a shit hole. Read the Colombian threads, guys or their friends are getting drugged or robbed all the time. This is just not that common in Mexico, unless you are actively seeking drugs.

Yea but those are 8 people over 7 years for going to Colombia. If that heps. LOL.

About the US dollar in Colombia I just use the ATMs to pull pesos out. I never bring dollars to Colombia because the rate is about the same between ATM and exchange facilities but in Brazil I bring dollars to exchange because it makes a difference.

On scale of 1 to 10 Mi espanol is like a 5 but my listening is a 7. So I'm not fluent as you can see. If you speak no spanish now. Trust me that place will force you to learn some quickly LOL which is a good thing in my opinion.

I've been to many countries around the world and language barriers have never kept me from going to places like Qatar, Kuwait, ect.

I have been to Tijuana three times so far and I only went last week because it was a closer flight.

Another reason is the women are in general better the further you get from America.

Get out of your comfort zone and do not let fear stop you. Your missing out on a lot.

When you go.

1. Attention to detail (closer attention to the women but to all of your surroundings. Motos included especially when your walking at night by yourself).

2. listen to your gut feeling while there.

3. Be positive.

4. Relax and have fun.

It's worth it man trust me. Cold approach and facebook will be your friend over there (well at least in Medellin and Cartagena for me).

I stay away from Tinder but it's up to you if you want to use that.

As for as street girls. Be alert! The casas are safe but that is not my thing.

If you have question on Brazil I'll be glad to assist or any veteran on here would. Unlike me they may have been going since 1988.

What's so crazy is that he was the only one that said something. The others did not care (I've done it before). And he's area of responsibility was the restaurant not the buffet in the ball room. But whatever. I've been over it.

Do not be afraid of Colombia man trust me it's worth it!. Just use common sense when out there but the women are soooooo much nicer and genuine in Brazil.

Don't wait go now.

P.S. All the scolopamine stories are true and it's a lot more than what's being told or reported but hasn't happened to me (knock on wood). I know 8 men personally who have gotten scoped and robbed and the guy that got killed (robbery) from Atlanta I knew him as well and a few others who are no longer here. It can differently get dangerous very quickly in Colombia.

Attention to detail will keep you safe most of the time.

Never seen any terrible things in Brazil personally or to any friends or associates of mine so far. Only things I've seen are the drug related videos of killings but I do not hang in those areas.

If they're worried about a banana leaving an all you can eat buffet line. Than they have bigger problems in their lives. Shlt like this is unheard of man LOL smh.

Never seen this in my entire life.

Seriously they are the worst part of every trip I have south of the border. They are the main negative of Ticuan, I watch them at the buffet and they take crazy amounts of food, hogging every public part of the hotel and always with bad attitudes in the elevator. 4-5 in every room. Ticuan won't let me have two chicas in a jacuzzi room but I see them bring extra (small cots) into their rooms.

Today I was buying socks on constitution and two 4'7" fat Armenian brothers were blocking me and all customers from paying as they yelled "give me dollar" to all the cashiers. Not just arguing with one employee about the stores return policy, but blocking the other cashier from working and helping the other customers.

Small dick foreigners ruining it for the average gringo monger. I told the 2nd brother if he wanted to block me from paying the result would be his family never seeing America. We both might go to jail but I won't be the one blocked from crossing the border. Lucky for us both a 3rd cashier opened up as they could only block two.

Even my east Hollywood Armenian friends know that their people are the worst mannered I'm the world. Fat big nosed wives and horrible tempered short fat men.

I'll be heading to Tijuana for the first time on the 13th of this month. If anyone would like company or to give a newcomer a few pointers, message me.

I'm pretty new myself hope you have fun and take care of yourself out there!

[TheMan31]

I'm thinking he was told the rules that need to be followed or he would be written up or let go. Equivalent to BJ dealers at casinos demanding you get off your cellphone or they will get reprimanded or let go. They all have to abide by rules of their supervisors or hotel. I bet he could care less what you did, but it is his livelihood. The opening door for a local family and not you seems odd. Most places I've been to have doormen or concierge that opens the door or helps with luggage. It all depends on quality of hotel and never stayed at Ticuan. Hope to read your Colombia and Brazil trip reports. One day I'll venture out to that region and hopefully the scolopamine stories are one off and not consistent with gringo tourists.

Gentlemen,

So, I decided book hotel Ticun for my third trip to Tijuana, this is the only hotel I have stayed at by the way.

Yesterday I had the all inclusive breakfast that they provide to you when you book your room.

After eating I was too full to take down the banana I grabbed off the buffet line. So I decided to take it with me.

To my room. As I'm walking to the elevator going up back to my room. I hear "buddy. Buddy" and foot steps running towards me.

This "petty ass dude" that works there in the restaurant before you get to the ballroom chased me down and told me that I could not.

Bring the banana to my room. I was like what? I didn't want to argue with him so I told to just take and get the hell out of my face.

He stated that the food must stay in the ballroom. At this time I'm thinking why does that even matter? I'ts a effin bananas bro?

Just by the way he acts I know his life has got to be bullshlt smh.

This is the first time this has happened. Not sure if any of you experienced this?

I have also noticed that they do not really hold the door open for foreigners as we are walking in and out of the hotel. Strange.

Only time. Was when I was walking with a local family or old Mexican people. Any other time. No.

This is why I rarely F*ck with this place.

Colombia and Brazil is more my speed.

Thoughts?

I live at Hotel Ticuan and see the Armenians trying to grab bananas to take with them to the room. The problem with that is you aren't the only one eating breakfast there and if everyone took a banana to their room there would be none for anyone actually eating breakfast. Also bringing that type of food into a hotel room isn't the best idea for pest control. I understand that they offer room service and all but banana peels in the trashcan can get gross even if just for 24 hrs until the maid comes in.

I have gotten to know the staff at the Ticuan. The majority are really nice people with one or two assholes.

Be kind to them.

This is true I'm here now and noticed that as well. I'm like what in the hell is going on. They took over some of the couches playing card games and shit. Talking and laughing all loud.

I swear those guys smoke every 5 minutes. 7 in a circle.

Some of them are cocky and not in a good way. Reminds me of Mediterranean men (I am guilty).

What killed me was seeing a chubby MILF in a Velour sweatsuit from the 70's. The tackiness made me blind from the sight of it.

Cheap Eurotrash that hard working Americans are paying to import for no reason. SAD.

I apologize for the bad sentence structure, missing words and typos. I was in a rush but you all can make out what I'm saying LOL.

Too lazy to fix everything.

[FlacasOnly420]

New batch of Armenians arrived this week. The smoking circle is expanding outside the lobby again.

They are waiting for the fat fuck that gets them across illegally. He shows up every now and then to weasel vodka shots from his clients.

I feel like I see him almost every time I am here.

There's still some around for sure but it seems way less than my last visit 5 weeks ago.
