Lucha Libre is popular in Mexico and I've always wanted to hit up the wrestling museum in Tijuana. Along the wrestling theme, tag me in if you need assistance Road Warriors style.

I finally found a decent Tijuana promotion called Crash. They have a big event May 5 with Blue Demon Jr.

I tried buying tickets for hours last night with an amigo helping me translate and I could not get the site to work. Will try again today.

Skewers have six shrimp of a reasonable size - 50 pesos per skewer. And they taste great!!

They also provide fresh lime, chili sauce.

Not bad at all. I'll make sure to try next time.

Thanks for the reply.

One thing I'm curious about is the corn on the COB. Half the time it's more boiled and juicy and fresh. Other times specifically when I crossed the border it would be more grilled and dry and chewy and off putting. Is it just luck of the draw or are there two different kinds?

Sounds great, what's the name of that nice hotel?

I talked reception. No jacuzzi rooms and no fridge unfortunately. Also parking is partially indoor partially fenced in outdoor but they have a security guard.

Av Del Pacifico 560, Playas, Monumental, 22504 Tijuana, be. See. , Mexico.

I did the same thing recently. Can't beat that big taxi for 15 pesos. I was eyeing those shrimp but didn't pull the trigger. How much were they?

I grabbed some nice Mango and tajin and some good corn. Walked the boardwalk, border wall and around the bull stadium. Felt very safe the whole time.

I'd like to stay at the nice hotel there but wouldn't want to make that far of a drive solo after crossing the border. It's nice for a short day trip to kill 3-4 hours.

Thanks for sharing taxi locations.

Wanted to share me new routine. After the 2nd night I always head to beach for a couple of hours to kill some time enjoying the waves and some nice food / drinks.

One reason I do this is HK club is a little quiet till around 4 pm.

I take the yellow stripped van from one block away from the front of the cathedral https://*******.com/van-downtownTJ.

And exit at Walmart (and Del parque) https://*******.com/TJbeach-walmart.

Return bus from beach at Vittorios restaurant https://*******.com/bus-from-vittorios.

15 pesos each way and riding with the locals is a nice cultural experience.

At the beach I visit Black dog cafe for nice cool indoor or outdoor shade spot to enjoy a nice smoothie or other drink. Other nice cafes there too..

I always get multiple skewers of BBQ shrimp. They cook them right on the beach. Delicious.

One day I may visit on the fish restaurants that overlook the beach.

I highly recommend going to the beach in the early afternoon when there is not much action at HK club. Then when you come back around 4 or 5 HK is bustling.

Airshow starts 9:30. Thunderbirds will fly at the end, about 4 PM. Will leave OC at noon, get there by 1 PM, bring sandwich lunch to Riverside National Cemetery to watch the airshow. We do not want to drive in March AFB parking since it costs $40 (WTF?) and would take hours to get in and out on a 2-lane road with thousands cars. Cannot find the FM frequency the airshow will be broadcast in. Damn.

Take 91 East exit 58 to Van Buren Blvd. To the Nat Cem. Beers have to be discrete, hide in the trunk and drink from cups. Don't try to watch from freeway 215 as CHP will chase you off.

Naturally after air show we will head South to Tijuana to visit the fine senoritas and the main course, hot Latinas' Flying Pussies show. Couple bros are going if you want to join the group.

As a precaution I usually print FMM form before visiting the border (via foot).

This time I realized I forgot to do that when on the trolley heading to the border. So I filled out the FMM form on my phone and got a pdf file with the FMM and took screenshots.

Luckily they did not ask for FMM or demand any fee (I. E, it was like pre-covid) and I sailed through easily.

But I am curious if anyone shown the FMM on the phone to get through without paying an FMM fee. I want to know if they accept FMM on phone vs printed FMM form.

Never tried to get through with a PDF version of the FMM (don't know if that's even allowed honestly) but did want to point out that I have also noticed that Mexican customs officials have been a lot less aggressive in demanding the FMM "fee"/ bribe over the past year or so. To be fair, the Mexico / USA Border was technically "closed" during the peak of COVID unless you had a valid reason to cross (e. G. , medial appointment, work-related need) so the bribe in a way was actually doing us a favor (allowing us to cross a border that by federal law was supposed to be closed) while the customs officials were able to pocket a little cash in return.

The FMM form only counts if it has a stamp on it. For now the Mexican immigration only requires it if you straying Mexico more than 7 days. Just show the Mexican immigration your passport and they not require one for 1 day visits to Mexico. Before they were scamming people and making everyone buy a FMM form for $30. Also remember that the FMM form is valid for 180 days if you get one.

Anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse of that flaca walking sin ropa through the Zona midday Sunday? I was walking behind her from the big church all the way to Chicago club. The looks on everyone's faces were priceless. Never seen so many heads turn. Meth was the common guess from the locals I spoke to. Didn't feel appropriate to take a picture, but that's a memory I'll never forget.

I wasn't even sure the name of this place. I had to Google and check it. I've been recommending guys go, but I always say go only on Fri. Sat night. There may be a cover, but it will get you into a new big club. And its a block from hotel ticuan. Its. Ore for guys in need of change scenery From. Hk. A block north of this club, 30 feet off revolution is a massage place that has a bar next to it. If you go to this bar, theres 2 dollar beers various woman in the bar who will flirt and then do massage sex I hear. I haven't paid for that. But. I went and drank. Again, it was a good change pace from the sausage fest in Hong Kong. Shit on weekends I run out of Hong Kong and will find any bar on revolution or its side streets to see some woman even the gay bars have a better woman to men ration than hk on the weekend.

They have a lot of nerve. Last time we had a long wait for pizza across the street so tried to check the place out and they wanted a cover charge screw that.
