Nuevo Laredo

Well, you could drive in, and park the car near a hotel, then you would have the option of driving or walking after you see the new layout. There are girls available, but not nearly as many as there once was. If you drive you will note parking meters downtown, those meters don't work and are not monitored.

Bbond,

Are you referring to the new layout for Bridge 1 now processing Sentri and Ready lanes? I just saw this video that someone posted on you tube in October about a new club in boystown, across from Martha's and talks about more door girls available. Like in the old days, allot of truckers will be happy. I hope this is true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yroHAIEye4 I want to go check it out.

My question is, what would be better, to drive into NL or to walk? I am wanting to drive but would probably be wondering if it would be safe to drive down guerrero late at night looking for girl action. I feel safer in my own car. I do plan on having mexican insurance.

To Zygo,

State dept is handing out Global Entry for lots of people. Just about all are approved except recent felonies involving drugs or violent crimes.

I have been crossing the Tijuana border with GE for the last 5 + years, quick and painless, just drive right through, no stopping. Mexican Immigration never requires passports and rarely ever check cars, like 1 and a thousand. I got stopped once in inspection for wearing a cap, which hid the face from the cameras. They only check car registrations for stolen cars etc. The $60 window sticker is not required here, but that may change in the future..

Well, 4 months later and got my Global Entry (Sentri) approved and now can't wait to try it out in Nuevo Laredo. I keep meeting girls on dating sites that write that they live in Laredo but really live in Nuevo Laredo. I have spoken with them in the past and they are really cool. I'm sure that during Christmas time that many of them are probably just waiting to get over the holidays with family. I saw this one video on youtube about how people in Nuevo Laredo celebrated hollow ween a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoyGYdMb6Ys I mean it's a totally different culture there LOL. People are basically cruising up and down colon street in costumes. My question is, what would be better, to drive into NL or to walk?

Any establishment in the UK should have this procedure because most Americans wouldn't pay for it afterwards LOL. Sorry but food in the UK just absolutely sucks. You don't have to agree but you never see a fat Englishman.

Well, the native English food is pretty uninspired. I like fish and chips if they are done really well. Meat pies can be good, or kind of frightening. The so-called British breakfast with beans and stewed tomatoes is just plain perverse, and not in a good way.

But in London at least there is a wide selection of foods from other countries that can be quite good. I've had excellent Indian, Chinese, Japanese (sushi), and Middle Eastern there.

Sexo es como un restaurante. Pago al fin.

Except for fast food places. And in some cases quickie sex women. Asi es.

[Tiny 12]

Whats an easy to learn phrase to tell THOSE girls "sex is like a restaurant, I don't pay the waiter in advance I pay him at the end when the food arrives and the food did its job".

Sorry if that was out of left field and will update later about escort service on my embargo list as of 30 minutes ago.

UK pubs with food can be like this too. Order and pay at the bar, and they bring the food. It's just more practical that way, but also prevents the old dine-and-dash.

Well, many food establishments require payment first, buffet style, and most fast food places are like that. If that is an issue, then choose not to eat there. Same applies to "those" girls. Especially the ones that are delivered to you, like the massage outcalls, they will require upfront money and the driver will leave with that money.

Bbond, you actually walked the whole way? WOW.

Actually walked all the way to the post office and my bank, and back. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Ibuprofen, lots of ibuprofen.

This past Friday, I needed to walk across, at 8:15 am. Ped line was all the way back to Ocampo Street. I was in Laredo 20 minutes later. The sister cities appealed to CBP for assistance in the long wait times and so far it has helped, every check station inside was manned and the wait times greatly reduced.

On the way back after midnight, it usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to cross in a SENTRI / GE car, whereas the READY lanes usually delays 2 to 4 hours.

The GE / SENTRI card makes life so easy, don't know how anyone can live without it.

I am just getting out of a relationship with a girl from Laredo who may actually get deported to Mexico / Nuevo Laredo. It turns out that her son who is 23 and still lives at home is in love with his own mother and wants to control her every move and now I have been abandoned because women always choose their children before any man even if her kids are wrong. But I just applied for global entry which is what has kinda been holding me back from going to Nuevo Laredo. Most likely I will meet a girl and I won't want to come back at 6 30 in the morning just to beat the lines coming back to the USA and work on Monday. Hopefully I will be approved and be able to use it. I am going to Monterrey in 2 weeks, I hope. I asked for a whole week off. I plan on staying for a whole week there. I am not very good at writing reviews but knowing me I will be wanting to write something. But I will probably be going to Nuevo Laredo allot if I get that global entry pass. I mean, there are allot of attractive girls in Nuevo Laredo.

The cheapest way to go to Monterrey / Laredo by bus from San Antonio is to get the senior citizen discount on Greyhound. On the internet you buy the round trip ticket from SA to Monterrey, and depending on the day of the week and the time of day the the fare is usually about $30, sometimes less. I just went down this weekend and the round trip total was $30.80, taxes and fees included. I bought the ticket to Monterrey but got off in Laredo. You can also get off in Nuevo Laredo, or if you feel like it, go all the way to Monterrey. Hard to believe, but the round trip fare from SA to Monterrey on Greyhound is cheaper than to Laredo. I used to go on Turimex all the time, but their fares aren't competitive anymore.

Slick is right on this one. I just checked and depending on what time you book, it is cheaper, using the senior discount, to book all the way to MTY, from SA, than it is just to Laredo. So if price is a factor, and you can qualify, or finagle, senior fares, that is the way to go. Personally I would not use that, as for me, those buses are the most crowded and uncomfortable that there are.

I am over 62 (by a long shot, up there with DJT), but if you are under 62 and look like you might pass for a senior citizen, it should work too. Just make sure when you pay for your ticket on the internet to put down that you will pick up your ticket at the kiosk at the station. Do not put down "print out at home". When you pick up your ticket at the kiosk you just type in the number they give you when you pay for it, and it spits out the ticket in the form of vouchers or coupons that look just like the tickets you get at the counter, and you don't have to waste your time at the counter. With these the driver never asks you for your ID, but if you print out the ticket at home they will ask you for your ID to check for fraud, and they might also check your age.

It's fun to play around with the Greyhound website testing out all different kinds of permutations and combinations. Once I found a one way senior citizen fare from NL to Monterrey for $1. 00, the normal price being about $6. 00. Greyhound uses algos to set their fares employing many variables just like the airlines, and there's nothing better than beating an algo (after screwing Mexican putas of course).

Also as some have noted, with the new system on Bridge 1, the wait is no where near as long as it used to be. I walked back yesterday afternoon and there was no line at all, cars however were backed up. The CBP agents also seem to have done away with their usual ass holery, and are even halfway polite. Just make sure you stare at their name tag like you are trying to memorize their name. Those jerks, mainly low IQ Hispanics, are way overpaid, and do not want any trouble, particularly from angry gueros (ha ha, thanks for that one zygo, and probably a big thank you to DJT as well).
