CS free checking account lets you draw money at good exchange rates, you will pay the ATM fee but they reimburse you at the end of the month, basically a travelers card. I suggest that one so you can withdraw from any bank.

I am not traveling to MTY as much as thought I would be. I like Tijuana and Moscow much better. The other reason is I just do not like traveling through Laredo and flights are just to expensive. Sometimes I can fly to Moscow cheaper then a flight to the MTY. I will still be going, but probably every 5-6 weeks, and I sure as hell will not pay $900 to fly there. Working 70-90 work weeks now, so no time for Moscow, but I am going at the end of May.
You talk about safety, but when you hang out where you do or stay in cheap hotels this is what happens. I worked out a deal where I stay and it real safe. Your putting yourself in bad situations, both in Laredo and MTY, also making the same mistakes over and over again, safety first. You may get lucky, but the Cops, probably will not help you, especially in the shady areas.

Posts: 353A caravan checked into my hotel.
So, I'm staying at hotel 500 right, well today a large caravan landed in this hotel. A group of about 200 dudes have been taking over the halls, yelling and whistling and the sense of security is very questionable. Allot of people that I have spoken to in Monterrey hate the president of Mexico for allowing these disrespectful people to harm businesses by disrespecting this city. Well, I just called the front office here at the hotel and the girl there, bless her soul, just told all these disrespectful dudes to shut up. Hopefully they will follow instructions because I need to get some sleep. I have never had to call the police here in Mexico but hopefully I will not have to but this is very awkward to stay at a nice and new hotel with a caravan from the norther triangle. By the way, I want to stop posting so much. I need to focus more on myself. If anyone has heard about machine elves, well I believe in that so I should focus more on myself. People like frank Lucas thinks it's a good idea if I stop posting anyways because I am not telling him how to go exactly to the places that I go to.

Do you know if it's possible to transfer money from an American bank to your BBVA bank?

Ignore those on the street who are trying to pull you into a club. Also, walk with a purpose and with confidence; you don't want to look lost.

Posts: 353What am I doing.
Today I was eating at a restaurant not far from hotel hacienda and saw a couple of Americans that I would never see myself hanging out with in the USA. Many of the people who come here just do not fit in but it's not to say that Mexicans will be rude or anything, it's just to say that they will most likely get repelled in some ways. I realized again that my reviews are for me and probably for me only. I feel like I need to go ahead and stop posting if I am just attracting the wrong people.

Posts: 353Important lesson.
As I was walking down a street close to the central bus station, I saw a few hot girls so I stopped to get a better look at them. One of them pulled me away to a strip club and asked me to buy her a drink for 20 pesos, when the drink came I was charged 120 pesos (scam) and then she insisted that we go to a back area but that back area was so dark that I just asked the waiter for my change and left. I told what happened to one of my big booty friends and she told me that I was being set up. The strippers are sometimes in with the waiters. Be careful out there guys, my opinion about strip club is now changed. I don't think the people who read this forum go to the same places that I go to anyways.

Posts: 353Best bank to withdraw cash
Banorte is by far the best bank to withdraw cash. They offer the best exchange rates and lowest cash withdraw fees. For example, Wells Fargo in the USA charges me 282 dollars to withdraw 5000 pesos and Banorte only charges me 262 dollars for the same 5000 pesos. Another comparison is the cash withdraw fee, Santender charges me 100 pesos plus another 12 pesos for insuring my withdraw (scam) and Banorte only charges me 48 pesos to withdraw cash. Banorte is also much nicer inside with many more ATMs at their locations and has 24/7 ATM service.

Posts: 353Alameda park.
I walked through Alameda park today, I was scared to walk there a few days ago but today I didn't care and wanted to inform everyone that there is police presence there. I felt protected by the few police that were there. One police got in between me and a group of Hondurans and made a gesture to those Hondurans to not mess with me. Everyone was having a nice and relaxing time. Many people were laying down or sleeping on the grass. I didn't walk the whole six blocks because there was a sense of risk and I didn't think it was worth it anyways.
