Ciudad Juarez

[Adam Z]

Haven't been there in a while. I wouldn't waste my time there. Spend 10 extra and go to Venus or Luxxor, same service, better girls.

Has anyone been to Michel's, every time I go its closed.

After a few beers and not much luck, I decided to head across the street to Hollywood. Now the waiters and girls here were a lot more agressive with the drinks and dances offers. I took one of the girls up on a dance and had to buy a $6 drink for each dance. She had an amazing body and I really wanted to fuck her, so I passed on the third dance and was expecting the offer to take her out of the club, but never got it and she walked off.

Now I didn't look like a bum, but I wasn't overtly asking for extras. Did I miss something? My experiences in other cities in Mexico (Nogales) is that I didn't need to make any effort in places like this, the girls made the offer and that was it. Is there some kind of protocol at either of these places that I need to follow in order to get some action? I can keep going to Luxxor, but I'd like to branch out a little.

Just tell her you want to go to the room with her. I've never had one get offended, but have been told no. Usually they just start negotiating price with you.

he pulled me over, asked me for my drivers license. then told me that i have to pay him 500 pesos fine for him to return my driver license. i have seen this many times (not necessarily in juarez) so i knew what he was up to. i played dumb and asked him if i am every going to get a traffic ticket and of course he said no, that i only had to give him that 500 pesos. i was pretty pissed and i showed it on my face yet i remained calm the whole time. at the end i ended up paying him 40 dollars and got my driver license back. i forgot to bring my passport last night so i needed the dl to get back to el paso, or else i would have let him take my driver license.

usually you can make them go away for $20. tell them that's all you have. a speeding ticket will cost you about $10-12; let the cop know that you know this, but it's a hassle to go get your license back. btw, you can get back with the ticket and maybe some other paper, such as your registration. been there, done that. that ends on 1/31 though.

So I ventured across the border last weekend. I have a few questions though. I usually hit up Luxxor when I go to Juarez and have a pretty good time at a cheap price, $50, but I'm usually disappointed with the enthusiasm.

This time, however, I decided to change it up a little and see what else Juarez had to offer. I had a few beers at Kentucky Club and, because of some reports on here, decided to hit up Alice and Charley's around the corner. There was definitely some very attractive women dancing but none of them ever came over to ask for dances or, what I really wanted, to fuck. I had one come over and, in perfect english, ask for a cigarette. But that was it.

last night i was driving in juarez with my girlfriend (she lives in juarez). we were going to a burger joint to get some dinner. i was stopped by a motorcycle cop, who told me that i was speeding. i might be speeding or maybe not, that i'm not sure. i was going just a bit faster than other cars. but i knew that my speed had nothing to do with him stopping me.

he pulled me over, asked me for my drivers license. then told me that i have to pay him 500 pesos fine for him to return my driver license. i have seen this many times (not necessarily in juarez) so i knew what he was up to. i played dumb and asked him if i am every going to get a traffic ticket and of course he said no, that i only had to give him that 500 pesos. i was pretty pissed and i showed it on my face yet i remained calm the whole time. at the end i ended up paying him 40 dollars and got my driver license back. i forgot to bring my passport last night so i needed the dl to get back to el paso, or else i would have let him take my driver license.

anyway i'm still pissed. my girlfriend told me that i should accept it because that's how the police are in mexico. i got the police's name and his badge number. is there anything i can do with this information? i doubt juarez has any complaint department etc. how about writing to the tv station in juarez? i remember about a month ago some asian was robbed by a female police in juarez and the victim actually identified the police officer that robbed him and it was all over the news on tv. of course $40 could hardly make the news. any thoughts? i'd hate to just let this slide by.

The best advice of all is to never let the sun go down on your gringo ass in Jtown. That is why I always go with the mps. Cross over in the afternoon, cross back before sundown. That's my moto.

Lucke

Yeah, but those events took place on the south side of town. One over by the Airport area and the other by the Lear Corp/ Borunda Central Park area. MAPSCO 1st Edition page 115 & 99, respectively. They both look like the typical areas for these events - fairly industrialized and such.

The increase of events has me wondering how it'll all be by the end of the year up by the border areas that most of us enjoy. I know I'm starting to see more Federales by the PDN area again and I hear rumblings of the Juarez Cartel wanting to make a dent this year; taking advantage of the attention being paid to the "other" cities right now.

I don't have a problem staying overnite but I do like to be tucked in by 2AM when I do...

Good advice, I agree and that's all my "gringo ass" will do, too much heat at nite for me.

I'm sure these areas aren't in our average monger's radar but still interesting to note the trend.

Juárez's homicide rate doubles in new year (6:51 a.m.)

EL PASO — Four men were killed in Juárez early Monday, continuing what has been a particularly bloody beginning of the year in Juárez.

With the shootings, there have been 24 homicides in Juárez in the first 14 days of 2008 -- or 1.7 homicide per day, double the average of 0.8 homicides per day last year. In comparison, there has only been one homicide in El Paso since Jan. 1.

Many of the victims in Juárez were young men and died in what appeared to be drug- and gang-related incidents.

"These problems between organized groups of criminals are very difficult to prevent. It's something going on between them," said Juárez municipal police spokesman Jaime Torres.

The last four homicides stem from two separate incidents Monday.

In the first, Juárez police said that they were called to the scene of a gun fight on Zafra and Cruz streets at about 4:40 a.m. They said they found the bodies of three unidentified men next to a blue, 1991 Plymouth Voyager. The men ranged in age from about 17 to about 30. Police said they think two of the three men were brothers. They died of bullet wounds.

At about 5 a.m., police went to the scene of another reported gun fight and found the body of a 30 to 35-year-old man wrapped in a brown blanket at the corner of Cotija and Caracuaro streets. The man, also unidentified Monday afternoon, died of gunshot wounds.

*I will be in CJ in a couple of weeks. "Joanna" from Luxxor caught my eye on their website (she's allegedly the girl on the far left in the attached photo). But it looks like the one or two reports on her from this board gave her average reviews. Has anyone else had any experience with her?*

I am sorry to report to you that she was no longer at the Luxxor the last time I was there (December).
