Posts: 47At DramaFree11, I read that bus to Laredo then walk across, then bus to MTY is fastest. This is due to immigration checking and traffic at bridge crossing. Can others confirm?
I went to Laredo recently, went to Jorochos bar for about a minute a couple times, then walked out. I saw one gringo (Bbond? And a chica or two. Not sure if they are working, but seemed receptive. Anyway, I'm not one for loud music, so I left quickly.
BT mostly has gorditas, but a couple are not fat and decent. A taxi driver showed me some nice WhatsApp chicks, but I didn't get digits. I don't know where or how he found them. Any ideas? The typical sites seem mostly fake. MTY was a blast. I went there after a few days in Laredo, but I liked Laredo too.

Posts: 2794The last time I took the bus into Mexico through Nuevo Laredo, the immigration officers where ripping off the passengers. The whole bus had to pay a bribe of 400 $ otherwise immigration officers were going to have us wait for hours in the bus inspection station while they searched our bags, harass us and God know what else to us. The first clue that this was going to take place was the long bus line where we had to wait for about 3 hours just to get to the bus inspection station in Nuevo Laredo. My question is, if I know that there is a long bus line to cross into Mexico, which tells me that immigration officers in Mexico are ripping off the passengers, can I just get off the bus and walk the rest of the way across bridge 2? From there I can just take a taxi to the central bus station in Laredo and be on my way.
This is why I stopped driving or taking the bus, just too stressful and too many variables. I have no problem living on the edge, but in my opinion just too dangerous now.
I did talk to a couple of guys in MTY and they said the drive is just too dangerous, they will not do it and they work in MTY. This is before I had my issues, I thought they were being overly cautious, now I understand.

I have an friend from Laredo told me Boystown is gone. Not sure what he'd meant by that. Wanted to get the real facts.

Posts: 812They did the same thing on election day here in the Philippines but all bars were still open. Expats were allowed to drink just not Filipinos. In NL some of my best times ever were when the bars were closed. There still werwe girls around it just took a little more effort to look for them. That was years ago though.
