HSBC has a ATM located by 2nd & Revolucion st that gives out dollars They are fairly reasonable. There is also another bank located across the street that has reasonable ATM fees. The only caveat is that HSBC ATM is booth is closed after 5 or 6 pm I believe. Personally I always get money before I visit the Zona.

Restroom tip.

If you are walking in the Zona Adelita's is a good place to use the bathroom. I usually give the restroom attendant a quarter or 50 cents and they are always grateful and never complain.

Personally I would avoid any ATM in the Zona.

Yes, but as others have noted, the fees are outrageous. Took $300 out of one in the ATM bank to the right of the main HK entrance. Service fee was $5. Fee to exchange was $37!

You can get pesos from the ATMs inside Cascadas for a $5 service fee and no exchange fee, but no USD. I do have to qualify this by saying that my last experience with the ATMs in Cascadas was about a year ago, so things might have changed.

There are ATMs in the outlet stores area on the US side. A few times I have walked across the border and gotten cash there. As long as you don't try to cross during one of the rush hours, crossing the border both directions is fairly quick.

None that I have ever found, not ATM's that is, you need to find a cambio and exchange MX pesos for USD.

The one in the Hotel Coahuila reception area dispenses dollars. But I was charged like $12 dollars ATM fees for the transaction.

Mexico CITY (AP) — More than 25,000 Mexican workers at dozens of factories south of Brownsville, Texas, went on strike Friday after owners of the plants that assemble for export refused union demands for a 20 percent pay hike and an annual bonus. The Union of Maquiladora Industry Industrial Workers of Matamoros, the SJOIIM, said that by late Saturday nine companies had agreed to meet the salary and bonus demands. Union leader Juan Villafuerte thanked union members who had stood outside in the rain and cold, noting "we hope to soon conclude this labor. " The government of Tamaulipas state said at least one company announced plans to leave the city of Matamoros. The state's development office said other companies had halted.

From link:

The minimum wage will rise to 102.68 pesos ($5.10) a day from 88.36 pesos on Jan. 1, while along the northern border with the USA The minimum daily wage will double to 176.72 pesos ($8.80), said Labor Minister Luisa María Alcalde. Dec 17,2018.

3,000 migrants in Tijuana and 12,000 on the hoof. Might not be a good time to be striking? Has border employment priced itself out of jobs (asking $9. 28/ HR)? "went on strike Friday after owners of the plants that assemble for export refused union demands for a 20 percent pay hike and an annual bonus. ".

Yes, but my experience has been that they all charge exorbitant fees. I would just bring all the cash you need from the US.

If this happened in Mexico, Divorcee would soon be stripping and selling beers in the Chicago Club or wherever! I know a Mexican guy who something like this happened to, and he left the Mexican child support judgment with the ex-wife and her new boyfriend in Mexico and returned to the USA. She collects nothing from him and he tells her, "when you and your boyfriend let me see my daughter, then you will get a child support payment, until then, forget about it!" Moral of this story, he wears the pants since he never got her a green card or citizenship in the USA. She is stuck in Mexico and apparently it is very difficult for her to hunt this 2 legged wallet for $$$ in the USA without US residency.

I can't believe but that's how it is! Authentic post from the Yahoo forum "Marriage & Divorce" BTW enjoy Tijuana!

" Can the judge make my ex husband get a job?

Last year I met my soulmate and he's the man I love, so I divorced my husband to be with him. (my boyfriend now lives with me and my kids) Since I have a full custody of my children. My boyfriend lost his job so now our only income is what we were expecting to get from my ex. The problem: My ex husband called me " ....you", and he quit his job. And now he just sleeps in his car and he's unemployed. Now my kids and my boyfriend have no money coming in at all! And my ex refuses to get a job. Can the judge make him get a job? ".

The cheap charlies keep complaining about Tijuana girls, trying to buy cheap sex from them.

Here's a brilliant man, who would sneak around behind his wife's back, throwing away half of his $120 billion asset, just to have a piece of a Latina. Soon the Latina will also take his other $60 billion hehe.

Cheap charlies should consider themselves very smart to get love and sex from hot Tijuana girls every week with their pennies:

Texts Reveal Long-Running Relationship.

According to Page Six, Bezos and Sanchez were texting each other as early as April and May last year. Bezos wrote a number of lewd texts to Sanchez while she was still in a committed relationship to Patrick Whitesell and MacKenzie was still officially his wife:

"I want to smell you, want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight. . want to kiss your lips. I am in love with you. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon.

While Bezos' lawyer claims that Jeff and MacKenzie have "long separated," the official announcement of divorce did not come until yesterday. Just last September they were spotted celebrating their 25th anniversary. About two months before the first alleged text was sent, Bezos told CNBC how to treat a wife.

Here is a link to a large article with pictures about it. I am surprised that a smart guy like Bezos was having an affair and is now divorcing and paying 60 billion to a ex wife. Link https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ocial-facebook.

My recent experience on Sunday and Monday: There was a definite drop off in quantity. But at least for the Sun and Mon I was there, I did not see a drop off in quality. I think so much of that is not only subjective but also a bit of luck with regards to timing. A few minutes could make all the difference in the quality of available chicas.

Agreed. It's amazing how you can walk in to HK see a hottie and by the time you do a lap she is gone. Or the opposite you wait 10 minutes and 5 gems pop up. I much prefer quality anyways. Helps make the decision that much easier.

Might even try the SH scene this time. Don't usually partake but if I'm not wowed I'm the clubs I just might.

My initial weekend trip for a few weeks ago got pushed back but finally all set. I typically do a Friday. Monday run. But this time doing Saturday. Tuesday. I'll finaly see if Sunday and Monday are better than Friday and Saturday. Of course this is all a matter of preference and definition of better.

Friday and Saturday will by far have better quality and quantity. But also comes with lots of customers and more hectic atmosphere. Where Sunday and Monday will be calmer, better odds and possibly lower prices. But less quality.

Hope now that it's the end of the month some girls start coming back or get new girls in. I plan on using Saturday to hit the small bars then HK Sunday and Monday. Aside from some escorts and good food.

Hope it's a decent trip. Really need something positive at the moment.

Will report back.

I'll be spending time in the Zona and Playas de Tijuana in February and will be getting to HK at noon. Trying out an airbnb place in Playas (need some quiet time as well), but cannot check in until 3 pm.

Any suggestions on what I can do with my suitcase and laptop during the 3+ hour gap between arrival and check-in? Really don't want to drag it around with me out of concerns with convenience and safety.

Your help is appreciated.

On June 08/18 I decided to also check out Deja Vu. I got a taxi from the zone and arrived around 6;30. Went in and place was empty. I sat down and a larger older blonde lady showed up and asked to sit down. A mesero arrived and I purchased a lady drink and my drink. She sat on me and I asked where everybody was. She stated that it would get busier there later.

She finished her drink while she explained that there were rooms upstairs available. I bailed back to HK. That's my story. I have no experience with Amnesias.

Could anybody who has spent time there comment?
