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.

I don't drink either so I order a coke. I tell them Coca por la botella so they'll bring you the whole bottle instead of a tiny glass. It costs 70 pesos plus propina.
There's no Thanksgiving in Mexico so they're working while we're off. Other holidays like Christmas and New Years they're closed for a couple of days. Not all clubs were closed for semana santa. Matehual was closed but I took my friend to Chocolat and Desextres. They cost more than Matehuala but they were open so I didn't care.

Posts: 353Funny story and spa rules.
I don't mean to offend anyone and if the person I am talking about is reading this message then sorry but someone walked into a spa that I was in with flowers and this guy was completely in love with one of the girls. I could not hear what the guy said because he talked so softly so maybe this guy was American and he did look like he could be a gringo. I think the man in charge of the spa took the flowers or told him to put them back into his car because first the flowers disappeared and then that guy disappeared. This particular spa has rules where customers cannot ask for girls numbers and girls cannot ask for guys phone numbers and they do this in order to uphold the level of service which is top notch and very professional.

Posts: 353Non Mexicans downtown.
I was waking downtown not far from the central bus station where many people don't like to walk and it's probably because they don't feel safe. I over heard people there talk about la migra which translates to immigration as I was walking by them. So this told me 2 things, that many of those people downtown are not Mexicans, they are illegal immigrants that reside in Monterrey and 2 that they connect me with immigration somehow. I am tired of feeling scared to be honest. Its not to say that I have not gotten scared to walk down a street but that only happens very rarely now.

Well today I happen to walk by 2 of the matehuala franchises and in both cases I saw some gorgeous strippers walk into the clubs. These girls are just how I like them, beautiful and with big booties. I may get the courage to walk in to those clubs tomorrow or within the next few days but since I don't drink then I don't know what I could order from the bar. I guess I can ask the bouncer or waiters to help me with that. But on a different note, I was wondering what mty is like during holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. Are the clubs open and do girls work during the holidays? Monday was the first day after Semana Santa which is a whole week of several spas being closed and on that day after Semana Santa there were so many girls and customers ready to get back to it and do as much business as possible. Many of the girls didn't really do much over that whole week of semana Santa and were ready to get back to work. To be honest, since I don't have any kids, I would rather be in mty over the holidays but I don't want to look stupid. I guess I can ask the Mexican forum for the spas but since you have lived there over a year in the past I wanted to get your input. Thank you.

Posts: 353Quick update on hotel 500.
Unstoppable, I have an answer to a question you had about hotel 500 being girl friendly. It is actually girl friendly, they just ask they the girls don't spend the night. Also, they are looking for a partnership with a restaurant company that would want to open a restaurant on the second floor which is going to be very nice and unlike anything on Madero street so far. There are nice views looking down on Zaragoza and Madero from the hotels upper floors and the rooms that overlook Madero which can make many men happy that they chose this place.
