Does anybody have any suggestions on Crossing into Mexico without being hassled or harass at the border? Last time I went they held me and my buddy for about 20 minutes asking us what we're doing and why we are going into Mexico. They said we had to have a legitimate reason.

Tourists who are genuinely visiting for an amazing relaxing fun-filled getaway? Or "tourists" who are only passing through Tijuana because it's a border town on their way to from the US?

Probably 50% of Tijuana's "tourists" are guys going to Hong Kong, 49% are just passing through to cross the border, and 1% are actually visiting Tijuana for it's natural beauty and relaxing charm.

Yeah I'd say virtually no body flies to Tijuana to experience the place other than mongers. I know utube travelers that have visited dozens of Mexico cities this year and still never went to Tijuana. It literally has nothing to offer other than location on the border to USA. You can't even swim in the ocean most of the time. It's more expensive than the rest if Mexico and it's the most dangerous city on earth several years running. I don't think half the tourists are mongers. Maybe 5%. I was thinking about this recently because Tijuana tinder has so many endless woman on it. Usually even in big cities I start seeing same people or run out. But its endless with Tijuana, and realized, it's all the working girls flying in for few weeks of work, and all the other Americans coming here to fly to southern Mexico.

[Deleted by Admin] Less than 1 or 2 % of the 300,000 daily visitors to Tijuana go into HK.

Why don't yo go back to misunderstanding Tijuana restaurant workers?

There are many many women in Tijuana and all over Mexico who fit that description. The thought of selling their ass or friends family thinking of them as a puta is just not something they're willing to live with. Same thing in San Diego I see very hot chicks working shitty fast food or other minimum wage job when she's easily hot enough to work the San Diego clubs or ride out to Los Angeles or Las Vegas to hustle for some big bucks quick and easy. Not to mention what they could make escorting for minimum $300 an hour. I mean these chicks could easily pull in $1000 a day but yet they're flipping burgers or stocking shelves at target for $12 an hour.

Not to mention you got to be mentally tough to work the bars, where the real money is at. I've seen chicas in HK literally falling down so drunk because she drank too many fichas and a mesero has to throw her over his shoulder and carry off somewhere so she can pass out. I imagine they have a couple rooms where they just use to dump off chicas who are passing out falling down drunk. They're probably being constantly bombarded with meseros and guys trying to get them hooked on drugs and pimp them out. Other chicas trying to stab them in the back and steal their best clients. Being a bar puta is not for the faint of heart.

I totally agree with you that being a puta is not for the faint of heart. I have dated two ex putas for quite a long time in the past. One was married and had three young kids. She was married to an ahole that got drunk all the time and physically abused her and the kids. He was a taxi driver and she didn't work (in Mexicali). She took the kids and up and left him. She was then faced with the dilemma of now having to support the kids and pay rent. She went to work in the Panasonic battery factory in Tijuana where she made maximum 75.00 per week. She could not even come close to supporting herself and kids. She looked high and low for a job and could not find a thing that would give her the income needed. One day she saw an ad in the paper for a waitress with good tip opportunity. She went to the location and it turned out to be Bar Tropical. On her first day, she plopped herself on a chair (next to a line of girls) waiting for clients, scared and frightened as Hell. But she needed the money. In about an hour, a gringo came over and they sat at a table. He started talking to her and noticed she was scared and timid. He bought her copious amounts of ficha drinks and asked her to go up to the room. She started to cry. This guy felt bad. He gave her a 100 dollar bill, told her God Bless You and exited the bar. Looking at that 100 dollar bill, she thought to herself, I could never make this in a week. I have to stick this out. Which she did. She ended up going to work at Adelitas. She was a beautiful blond with a fantastic rack. I walked in one afternoon and the two of us hit it off. She confided in me and told me how much she absolutely hated working there. Hated the guys touching her like she was a piece of meat, etc. But it paid the bills. She told me that she felt like the lowest form of human being working there and one day wanted to be somebody. Long story short, I dated her for 7 years and she never worked in that bar again. We broke up. She eventually met another gringo who helped her buy a salon and to this day she works there and makes enough money to support herself.

Many other putas feel extremely degraded to work as one but options are slim, especially if they have kids and no preppa (high school). Don't get me wrong. There are some that love the money and that's the bottom line. I know I am going to hear from some that tell me I am full of crap and that these women can find a decent job in Tijuana. That is total BS. Don't believe it.

I honestly respect that woman that works in a factory or another job in Tijuana over being a puta.

Where is that place in Tijuana that is good for shopping local stuff, tons of small shops, etc? Not a corporate mall. Looking for some t-shirts, souvenirs I can take back home, etc. Is it near ZN?

I shop all over Tijuana. What specifically are you looking for besides tourist knick knacks which can be purchased all up and down Avenida Revolucion?

I recommend Leather, Silver Items, and Oaxacan Crafts, Guayabera shirts.

Atoyac Leather. Calle 3.

Guayaberas. Hand Art next to Caliente Casino On Revolucion and 4th st.

Oaxacan Crafts- Little alley that empties out into Plaza Santa Cecillia.

Silver. There are two notable curio shops for silver I recommend. One 2 doors down from Ceasras on Revo same side of the street. Then directly across the street somewhat in a diagonal line from the other shop.

Candies / Mexican Treats. Mercado Hidalgo Zona Rio.

TIJUANA XOLOS Official Merchandise. XOLO TEAM STORE Plaza Rio next to the movie theater escalators.

I would stay at Ticuan if you can afford it, or Jatay in la playas. The beach is open and might be nice during the day, chilly at night though. Not all agencies will send girls out to Jatay though so best check, if you pursue that option. La playas has what you need for ATM, grocery / rx and some great food. Jatay has great steak / shrimp tacos and if you get a ocean view room, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset while getting your cock sucked by a cute young chica.

Not sure I agree on this, but the number of non Hispanic tourists in Tijuana are way down from where they used to be. But it's not easy to tell the Hispanic tourists because they look like everyone else. I remember in the late 90's it was packed with US college kids on a Friday or Saturday night. Not so much any more.

It was even crazier in the early 90's when Revo was literally flooded with SDSU babes in overflowing bars sucking down tequila poppers like it was going out of style.

Tijuana has a population of 1.3 million residents that host 300,000 touring visitors arriving into Tijuana every day.

Tijuana alone is the most visited city in the Western Hemisphere, second only to New York City. 50,000,000 people visit the city each year.

Babe, likely more than 10% (or even 20%) of the people you see in Tijuana are actually tourists, not 1%.

I dated this girl last year who was young and sexy and hot enough to strip in any bar in Baja and make decent money at it but she chose to work in a factory 12 hours a day, 6 days a week instead of selling her ass in the bars. I admire her for that.

Maybe so, but Cabo and Cancun have 100 times more American tourists than Tijuana. I am out and about in Tijuana and vicinity every day. I am being generous when I say that 1% of the people I see are tourists. And that includes the beaches.

Men are just too dam horny.

That's the problem. Little head thinking for big head.

If the girls maken140 night, before sex just on tips and drink credits, they can stand firm on $100 to eventually it will be $150 for that 15 minutes condom blow job sex.

Most bar girls don't make $100 a night, at least on week nights. I'm pretty close with a number of bar girls and they tell me it's damn difficult to pull $100 with the ratio of guys to girls. But you don't have to take their word for it. Just do the math. In any bar in Baja during the week, there are 5-1 girls to men. It's impossible given those odds unless they can find some asshole to ficha fuck or stupid enough to pay $100 for a 30 minute session. Now weekends, they make a little more than that, at least the hotter ones. But, they're not making the fortunes they are promised before the come all the way up here.

Just cause factories pay 3 bucks an hour doesn't mean these girls can only work in factory.

Tijuana is the biggest border crossing on the planet. It will never be a ghost town.

I never said Tijuana would be a ghost town. If you carefully read what I wrote, I said if you guys keep throwing wads of money at these people, you're going to turn it into another Cabo or Cancun and it will be a mongering ghost town. But it's up to you guys. I have no skin in this game. I don't monger. But I am indirectly affected by how much these girls think their asses are worth.

All those other places are in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe so, but Cabo and Cancun have 100 times more American tourists than Tijuana. I am out and about in Tijuana and vicinity every day. I am being generous when I say that 1% of the people I see are tourists. And that includes the beaches.

The prices are going to keep rising and that sucks for the hardcore nickel and dimers. But there will never be a shortage of talent.

I hope you're wrong, Scott. The rest of you guys better hope so, too, because $100+ sessions are not sustainable in Tijuana or anywhere else in Mexico.
