General Reports

[Hargow20]

Sometimes the immigration officers will not require you to get a FMM form. Just show your form & the immigration officers will usually not check. When I first got mine they claimed it was a visa. I asked the officer to show me where it said it was a visa & they refused.

Yep.

It is an FMM, and is a requirement for tourists to enter Mexico. The fee has traditionally been waived for visits of under 7 days, but during the pandemic they were often making people pay the fee for visits of any length. There is no real rhyme or reason to who has to pay and who doesn't -- it seems to be the whim of the day. I've seen more and more guys crossing without having to pay, or even fill out the form. If you go, you may have to fill out a form and cross, and they may make you pay the $30 fee, or they may just wave you through. If you do pay the $30, the form will be valid for six months, so you can keep it and just walk in using the Mexican Nationals line in the future. If you want to, you can pre-print the form and have it ready for when you cross the border.

(your port of entry will be "El Chaparral")

Only if you are driving. You will need Mexican auto insurance. No other insurance is required.

Nope.

Yep.

Thanks for the Uber and GDL tips! Staying at a place in the historic center and the rates are really cheap for a nice room / area it looks like. I also am not much of a massage type of guy but if it's just a front for prostitution I am all for it. Were a bit spoiled with Zona Norte in Tijuana.

Been to Lake Chapala?

I can't say the hotel doesn't look good. Most reviews seem positive. I don't know what plans you have or how long you are staying in GDL. From my experience Centro is boring at night and many don't recommend it at night. The only experience I have is spent 1 afternoon walking around taking pictures of the buildings etc. At night I only took a cab to a strip club and left. From what I could tell is that most shops and tourist stuff close at night. It doesn't have a great selection of restaurants compared to other parts of the city. When I'm on vacation I like to eat at good restaurants since I don't at home. If you stay outside of Centro it's easy to take a cab in. From my experience you only need 1 day to see everything. Unless you want to take a tour to Chapala o Tequila, they also have those bus tours thru the city. When I went to Tequila we just hired an Uber driver to take us and wait a couple of hours and take us back. Me and my buddy didn't want to be stuck on an all day tour. When I went to Chapala I had a rental car.

So yes I visited Chapala. I wasn't impressed. The only thing I missed out on is on the way you can visit Vincente Fernández house but I forgot. I would recommend the trip to Tequila over Chapala. Also would check out Tlaquepaque. It's a nice little spot to walk around and buy some souvenirs if you want. Some good spots to eat as well. Just go during the day since I'm not sure how open it is at night.

I stayed at the Krystal Urbano before and it's a good hotel not to expensive but great part of the city.

Let me know if you have more questions.

This is really helpful. Thank you!

It seems, judging from reports here, that the clubs are still active and worth a visit. Is that fair to say?

Yep.

My main concern is the border. I've been hearing about this FFM card. I'll be taking the subway to the border at San Ysidro.
Should I be prepared to pay an extra $30 to cross? Who does the money go to? Where do I get the FFM card from, and are there ways to get it more cheaply or decline?

I went to Germany and Ukraine over the summer. When I entered Ukraine, I had to buy local insurance. Will there be a requirement like that?

Only if you are driving. You will need Mexican auto insurance. No other insurance is required.

When I left Ukraine to come back to the USA, the airline wouldn't let me board without a negative COVID test, despite being vaccinated. Does that exist for the pedestrian crossing too?

Nope.

My next concern is food. Are the taco vendors still out? I love that Hieronymus Bosch-like scene on the corner of Coahuila and see. Ninos Heroes. Is it still like that?

Yep.

Is Telefonica Gastro Park still open?

My brother introduced me to the world of p4p in the early 1970's. Sometime in the later 70's he was badly beaten by some bouncers in a NYC brothel. He completely stopped mongering after that.

I don't think anybody can "beat the monger" out of me hahaha! I would just go somewhere else after recovering from my injuries LOL!

I saw this video on you tube from this dating coach about how once you go down the escort hooker route it's almost impossible to go back to normal girls. It's a real good video I thought you guys would like watching, but there is a mention in the video about these famous identical twin sisters in Brazil that were escorts. He talks about his friend and other guys flying from around the world to sleep with these identical twins. Did I miss this. I don't remember twins at Help or on the escort site. Anyone care to comment and know anything about these twins and did you hook up with them. Thanks.

Well I haven't spent a ton of time downtown looking for women. During the day it's nice to walk around and see all the sites. I'm not a massage parlor guy so not sure what's available in that area if any. At night it's pretty dead since all the tourists and shops mostly close. They have one strip club that I went to Scandolous and I wasn't impressed. Had 1 drink and left. Even for a non mongering trip I would recommend looking to stay in a better area if the city. In the area around hotel RIU they have hotels that are very affordable and you can walk around at all hours with h no problem. I just walked back from my he strip club to my hotel at 5 am.

BTW if I you are flying out of Tijuana when you return if you are taking a Uber from the airport they will ask you to walk down by the flight tower to be picked up. With construction going on they don't like getting stuck in the traffic and it may have something to do with them not being airport taxis. Most Americans just use the CBP bridge but I didn't know your plans. One other one hung I almost forgot. I wouldn't pay the FFM at the airport. No one looks for it so it seems useless to me.

If you have any questions about GDL just let me know. Just put it in the GDL thread and I'll see it.

Elizabeth and her twin sister have been working in HK last few months. She's about 5'5, very skinny with stick thin legs, lots of acne and skin lesions, her dark hair bundled up on top. She used to work in the alley in front of hotel El Porton, looking very skanky in street lights with her rail thin body and bad skin, but with make up and under HK's artsy lighting, she looked pretty good. Her sister looks a lot healthier. They usually hang out near the front stair case, but Elizabeth would walk around briskly hunting down guys. They hang out all night, rarely get picked up for drinks or bed.

Another pair of Twin works on, off in HK, big, tall girls with smooth, light skin. Their faces look half Asian, broad and round, like Chinese Hans or Korean. Unfortunately both have gained weight. They are so huge may be approaching 180-200 Lbs. I used to tease the Korean wingmen about this pair of alleged Korean twin and they would go ape shit wanting to meet them hehe.

There are other twin sisters in HK.

Thanks for the info. Wasn't aware of the site. It's not a mongering trip per say but I hope to have a bit of time on my own so I was checking out the Guadalajara forum to see what action is down there and if there is anything around the historic district.

Unlike you I could never eat the bugs sold in China and Cambodia. Yuk!

Cannot sleep with bugs and roaches in the room. They give me the creep.

But I sure can eat hot girls and sleep with them hehe.

I did a lot of traveling in Mexico during the lockdown. Always flew out of Tijuana and they have no requirements on COVID testing to fly. It is the same as if you fly domestically in the US. The only thing they have made you do is fill out a health questionnaire before they let you go thru security.

Implying,

Glad to see you back in Tijuana for some tender love and hot sex with the pretty chicas.

Nothing creeps me out more than roaches and bugs in the room. Damn. Leyva disgusts me, off the list for any future business. You should have walked out of the room and demanded money back, cursed the stupid guy sitting at reception desk and walk to another hotel. I may have to pack a can of Roach and Ant spray in my travel kit to set up a defensive perimeter around the beds in South and Central America hotels. Damn disgusting sleeping with bugs and roaches.

Sorry to hear about your world-record performance hehe. Try Ultra Lab's Sildenafil. 25 MG quickly pumped up my dick so hard I had a huge hardon but could not pop, pumping 2 girls hard and fast, one BB, half hour each. Looks like it desensitized my nerves and prevented popping. It may help guys with hyper sensitivity delay popping.

Hope you have a fun, sexy time in Tijuana.

Oh come on CapN, you know you enjoy a few insects and scorpions on a stick like they sell from the food carts in China or Thailand. I never tired, but locals seemed to enjoy eating the bugs.
