The fischa program in Tijuana combined with the reality that hoards of chicas without any training, coaching or standards of sessions regularly flood the clubs. In other words, you can't just assume you'll get a good session you need to do some interacting and investigating beforehand. Often you may need to talk to 5-10 chicas before finding a good one. It's better to do so without buying a $10 (with tip) every 5-15 minutes.

Let's start with a pretty high budget to illustrate. A $500 a day / night (24 hours) budget. Now for $500 a day I'm going to have lots of fun with quality chicks at least close to GFE. So let's say I do 4 arribbas every 24 hours, 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, 1 in the evening, and 1 around midnight. Even keeping to $80 per session that's $320.

Budget about $50 a night for hotel and $30 a day for food. For $500 a day I should eat somewhat good. Your now up to $400, plus another $25 for drinking, $425, you'll need some money for tipping. Now your down to almost none left for fischas to stay within your $500 budget.

Beyond $500 a day. Some might say why not just go $100 over budget or maybe $200 over budget. For yet a larger budget though, I would want to stick to only the very top chicas, so increase the per Arriba cost to $100. I might also want eat & drink more and better, so the budget for fischas would still be low.

$1,000 a day budget. For this budget I'd want to stay in top hotel accommodations, might want to do 2 girls sessions, overnight sessions, perhaps go the escort route to get some extra services like CIM, DFK, etc. 3 regular premium arribas = $300,2 girl escort session $200, overnight session = $300? Those estimates with my hotel & food is probably over $1,000.

The issue in my mind is that increasing budget should go towards more & better sexual sessions first & also better hotel food next. Until I get up to maybe $1,500 a day, which seems absurd to me can I get to justifying the $10 per mini fake alcohol drink Tijuana Ficha drink game.

You do not need any excuses. You just need to pay the money for the visa. If not you will not enter.

Or enter by vehicle which avoids the hassle altogether. Having said that, I've walked in a half dozen times in the last year or so with zero issues and without paying a dime.

So even if there was a mandatory quarantine you should be good if you're just passing through CA to get to Mexico. In theory, you'll need an "essential" excuse (e. G. , dental or medical appointment) to get into Tijuana though even that tends not to be a problem. At worst the customs officials might make you pay a $30 fee for the FMM visa to enter the country.

2019/ early 2020, I was visiting the Zona at least once a week. Beers, bottle service, ubers, rooms, tips, food, girl drinks, and of course arriba adds up. The VIP card helped. Prolly used my free drink 50 out of the 90 days. Back then, when you got a drink at 11 pm, you were able to get another one at 12 am. Not sure how that works now.

Last time I was there you got two free drinks per day, but they made you wait 12 hours between them. They were real strict about that, too. On my last day I wanted to use my free drink for a bottle of water on my trip back to the border, but I had used it the night before at 10 pm and it was only 9:45 am and they wouldn't do it.

I'm considering finding a contract girlfriend to avoid the expenses of the club and in turn support a lady. Contract meaning you have a mutual understanding that your relationship will end. I don't mind finding an apartment in playas or near pedwest for her and paying for her cost of living. Anyone have experience with this arrangement before and what's a reasonable monthly offer to support a lady. No feelings involved.

I can't comment on the actual cost of that kind of an arrangement in Mexico, as all of my sugar relationships have been in the states. There is a lot of advice out there for finding and keeping a sugar baby. I'd stay away from a pro, for sure. Too many guys freak out when they think about their special lady working the clubs getting banged by guys all week before they see them. And I can't count the number of girls I've met who have new phones and nice cars and big apartments provided by their gringo "boyfriends".

Check out sugar baby sites like Seeking.com. You won't be guaranteed that the girls are not-pros, but you'll have a better chance.

Avoid the contract girlfriend. Any guy she's dating on the side that gets wind of this is gona pay you a visit. Including former boyfriends. I always thought I used my free drink VIP card more than anyone but you beat me by a lot. Just hanging out inside hk Chicago Adelitas usually only cost me 30 bucks a night so cheap entertainment. That includes 1 drink for a girl tips all I can drink beer. So 30 bucks for 3 hours is pretty cheap thanks to free beers especially Monday Tuesday and I would jump to the small bars for dollar beers maybe start on revolucion.

Since March of 2020, I've prolly only gone to the zona no more than 10 times, and I would avoid the clubs and utilize the streets lady's since some HK girls went to the streets.

Now I've notice some major savings. Can't believe how much I've been spending. If only I could track my spending's. But you can never completely track cash payments.

So my question is budget. How much do you guys normally budget for a night the Zona, A week, (a weekday / a week and a day<<if you know that movie LOL) or If you have a monthly budget set.

I agree the best thing is to tell the Mexican customs that you have a dental appt. I would go in the afternoon or morning before the dentists offices close.

I'm no expert but you should be fine. I don't think there's currently a mandatory quarantine in San Diego county. Mandatory quarantine laws can vary by state but I've never seen one that applies to travelers just passing through the state to get to another destination (e. G. , will be in the state for less than 24 hours en route to somewhere else). So even if there was a mandatory quarantine you should be good if you're just passing through CA to get to Mexico. In theory, you'll need an "essential" excuse (e. G. , dental or medical appointment) to get into Tijuana though even that tends not to be a problem.

Also remember that things can change day to day. I'm headed down on Saturday and still am prepared for things to go wrong.

This is great advice. I am driving to Mexico tomorrow and I am also prepared if something goes wrong. I will be glad when things get back to normal, but we are honestly looking are May-June, probably a little longer in Mexico.

Driving is one thing, but flying is whole different subject, internationally Hell No, to many risks and the possibilities of being stuck some where are very high at the moment.

I live on the East coast and have a free week at the end of January ... Can I get to Tijuana without any problems?

I live on the East coast and have a free week at the end of January now that it looks like I'll have to cancel my Bogota plans. I'm thinking of flying out to San Diego and crossing into Tijuana for the week. But California's lockdown and talk of a 2 week quarantine period have me a little spooked. Can I get to Tijuana without any problems?

I would recommend researching the covid situation on the ground here in san Diego, LOS Angeles, Tijuana before coming here. Especially you are over 40. Its very very bad, hospitals full, to start going into the clubs now, one should assume they will get covid. In the summer, and even early November, covid was a issue but its full on blown up over here. Even avoiding the clubs I don't feel comfortable living here but am stick here right now as I don't want to fly.

If a person showed up at the border today holding a dental cap that was first done by a Tijuana dentist eight years ago, but popped out when he ate a caramel candy last week.

I'm sure the slimy Mexican customs agent will pocket the $30 as he abuses his authority to steal as much as he can.

I doubt the Mexican border person gets any of the $30 bucks. Maybe the top boss gets some from whoever. But that money is kept track of. The day pass charge of 20 bucks I was often asked for this summer likely goes to the employee as I was not given any paperwork or even showed my license or anything. Also, I bet people crossing at el paso into Juarez aren't charged this fee. From everything I can tell, Mexico assumes men are going to pay for sex. Its probably mostly a Tijuana thing. A lot of woman online state they weren't charged. Also to pull off the medical excuse you need to put some work in, and go in the morning. Too much trouble for most people.

This is incredibly ironic, to the point of laughter. SMD is bleating about the Mexican's NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW!! Dammit, these thieves aren't following the LAW! How dare they not follow the LAW?? (In addition to an epidemiologist, SMD also LARPs as an abogado).

This may come as a shock to many, but the current LAW is that all non-essential border traffic is forbidden. Yes, that includes visiting hookers. I know, I know, but there it is. By rights, the Mex border dudes should be refusing entry to the hordes of beer-bellied gringos in cargo shorts and flip-flops claiming dental appointments. That's the current law.

Now the Mexicans, being a pragmatic lot, don't necessarily want to block all gringos crossing the border. What to do, what to do? It seems that, based on whatever criteria they're using, they decide to make some scofflaws buy the 180-day FMM. Sure, if you say you're only going for a day or two they're supposed to give you the 7-day version. But you're not supposed to be there in the first place.

For this princely sum of $30, they give you a "golden ticket" that you can use to cross as many times as you care to, as many days as you care to within six months, in the "Mexican passport holders" line. What other country offers such a deal? Yet, there are posters who b-itch about this, and fume about not following their version of Mexican law. I have an idea. Let's start enforcing the letter of the law and see how fast everybody starts to b-tch about not being able to cross at all.

Man, there is no pleasing some people.

Under the law entry into Mexico for stays intended and actual for less than seven days requires no fee. Stays in Mexico intended for between 8 and 180 days require the (approx) $30 FFM fee assessment.

Mexican officials using their positions to insist on charging and pocketing the $30 from visitors (simply cause they can rip off weekend and single day visitors) are simply thieves and apparently only respected by lowlifes.
