Nuevo Laredo

[Zygomatic]

I am going to Nuevo Laredo to meet up with a date I met on POF and I hope she is not a cartel member. My question is, do hotels that cost between 45 to 55 dollar normally have microwaves in the rooms? As I have said before, I have to cook my own food and a microwave would allow me to whip up some oatmeat quick. I also hope they carry soy milk at the wal-mart. I am going to pack a little George forman grill and possibly a portable blender in a back pack with clothes to last me a couple of days. I have to get smart about parking because 15 dollars per night for parking on the US side is 30 bucks for 2 days. This trip needs to cost me less than 150 in order for me to keep coming back to see my novias in Nuevo Laredo. I think if I take just one nice size back pack I won't stand out so much.

Emillianos located at?

Here is a photo, the people seen are in front of the bar, which looks a bit different now, it no longer is semi open air, and the doors are kept closed. Photo is a bit old, but you can see the liquor store right next door, on the corner.

The last time I arrived at nuevo Laredo at night and walked down Guerrero, I was harassed. Some guys were making fun of me saying that I was fresh meat. Anyways, that location looks a little sketchy at night. If the police come can they arrest the guys or just the girls? Is it safe to take a taxi, get down, talk to the girls and find a taxi back to the hotel without danger?

They can spot a new visitor in a second, Just ignore them. Everyone knows why we are here, and will not bother you. Yes, guys can be arrested too, but it doesn't usually happen, but definitely can. Taking a taxi is the safest way. It really is better, for a new visitor, to meet with someone familiar with the scene here, you will feel safer and you can get the feel of the place. Everyone has their own comfort level. That bar, since it is close to the bridge, is a high traffic area with people just hanging out as well as those returning from shopping in Laredo. Late night the bridge traffic subsides.

Why do the police target the girls? I thought, due to Boy's Town, that Nuevo Laredo was a place where street girls and solicitation are tolerated. Do the police go after john's? Is Emillianos the best place to find street girls? Do you go inside the bar or do they stay outside? I thought Nuevo Laredo was similar to Tijuana, in that prostitution was legal. Which city is better to find legal prostitution. Nuevo Laredo or Matamoros?

Prostitution is legal but only in the boys town compound. Which is couple miles from centro where Emillianos is located and it is illegal there.

It is the first bar as you walk from bridge 1, about 1/2 block south of the bridge. The Herradura is closed and has been for quite some time.

And, yes, at times there are lots of girls hanging outside there, but they never know when the police will do a round-up. I have seen the policia take 40 girls off the street, in one night.

Soon as you cross bridge one / pedestrian bridge its up one block and is on the right hand side of the road. Taxi will be right out front of the place most the times.

I was in there last night and there were about 15 ladies hanging out. It was early also, about 8:30 - 9:00. A small number of gals hanging out on the street. Maybe 4-5. They are out there you just have to strike up a conversation because they are working.

Do people ever walk around using their smart phones in public places? What about in some of the more retail areas like heb and walk mart?
Thanks.

Yes, since now there are so many places with free WI-fi. Plus people playing games that require no internet. For a while here the big thing was radio phones, people walking in the stores, and the idiotic ringers that were used, quite annoying. And yes, they even drive while talking or texting.

. My question is whether I can actually trust these people or not?

Hard answer, I know people here, that I can, and do, trust with my life. Others I trust about as far as I can throw them. It can take years to build a real trust, or just a few weeks, it's all in the actions of the people that you meet. I walk into some bars, the only gringo in sight, before I sit down I have a beer in hand, some times paid for, and some times because they know what I drink. Best I can say, is trust no one until you know them, and they prove trustworthy. If you are a stranger, in a low life area, everyone is your "friend". Do not believe anyone that calls you amigo that does not know you, they are trying to gain your confidence, without earning it.

When I went to nuevo progreso this past weekend I realized that there is actually P4P action but not out in the open. It would be the type of action that adheres to discretion and can be had if someone who knows where to find the action helps you get in contact or meet up with the ladies. I feel this way because the local Mexicans are very friendly. My question is whether I can actually trust these people or not? I would hate to get scammed since these people do in fact live desperate lives and desperate needs allot of times call for desperate measures. However, I have made friends in the past that do help me out in Mexico. However it can be dangerous. I once had a friend set me up in Monterrey, but if I am smart I can likely avoid those scams.
