Nuevo Laredo

[Aceite]

Was in NL this weekend. NL is definitely not worth skipping past on Saturday nights. I was here for 2 weeks end of September as well. Centro has some very nice street girls hanging out all over every night. Defiantly plentiful any day of the week. Of course weekend is better. Tho I haven't taken part in that action it looks very tempting non the less. Boys town is alive on Saturdays. And while in September there wasn't to much that interested me. Plus I brought the girlfriend and one her friends with. So I already had guaranteed px2. I still found something else I wanted to try for side fun. This Saturday I was there As well. The selection got much better. Plenty variety for all tastes. I ended up having one best times there for a long time. One girl I spent most my time with was an absolute dream. Had me torn as there was a few more I wanted to take for a spin LOL. I also found a app called Didi it's pretty close to uber but you can just use cash. And almost half the cost of taxi not that NL taxi cost much. The cars are much nicer and drivers are younger and just want to finish the trip no hassle that comes with some taxis. Some areas where taxis are hard to get they work great instead of sitting around forever hoping a taxi happens to come by. Been using the app all weekend. Not a single problem with it or the drivers. As for NL being unsafe. I'm probably a perfect target. I take huge risks and put myself in some questionable situations. Yet none has taken advantage of it. I feel perfectly safe in main areas. And while some spots situations might not be perfectly safe. What laregeish city in US is perfectly safe in all areas. Fears of safety in NL is not a concern for me onky first few times years ago was I worried a little. Not anymore after seeing what it's really like. Also if you like juega juega. Its closed down again to my surprise as it was open back in September.

You know I've heard the same thing. Then I saw this Mexican porn star that I follow on Instagram advertise she was coming to a club in Nuevo Laredo. I've never stopped there. I always go straight to Monterrey but after seeing her to a club there and seeing others in this chat go to Boystown I am now considering it. Even though I do not know where Boystown is at or the quality of women available.

You need to just keep going to MTY. Laredo is fine during the day, but why play with fire.

If you put yourself in a dangerous situation, it can be, but it is very unlikely. Thousands of people live here. Including many Americans.

I have had two encounters of trouble in the many years I have been down there. The first one was in a popular bar downtown that has since closed where some local (bad guy) kicked me in the ass as I was headed towards the bano. He claimed I was looking at his girlfriend. I grabbed him by the collar and told him vete la verga pendejo and let's take it outside. I'm not backing down to your sorry ass. The bouncer and two waiters came over and broke it up. The waiter pulled me to the side and told me to let it go because this gentleman (ahole) was a rather high ranking dude in a certain organization. I immediately left. That was a stupid move on my part. Second incident was being pulled over in a taxi at a checkpoint right outside the zona by some very nice gentlemen. Luckily, they let us go and I didn't get robbed. So, take it for what it is worth.

Yes.

I have been living here for 14 years now, take that for what it is worth.

Without going into detail, yes it is dangerous. Take my word for it.

Interesting. So on the Mexico side of that city, nuevo Laredo visiting girls is legal right? I have heard the city is dangerous for Americans.

Bbond is the best at giving expert advice regarding Nuevo Laredo. I have been down there 4 times this year. Spent time both downtown and at Boystown without any problems. My advice if you are going to Boystown is to get there no later than 10 pm and leave no later than 2 am. Without going into detail, yes it is dangerous. Take my word for it.

You should not be messing around in Laredo after dark, just too dangerous.

From what I'm reading we can actually walk into Mexico the same way as long as we get the permit..

You don't need a permit just to walk in. However if you plan on going deeper south, a permit is required to do that.

[Appalachian]

It works a little different than I thought but was easy. For a US citizen returning to the US, all I had to do was show passport and tourist permit. 3 checkpoints in total. 1 Mexico, One at the actual border, then another on the US side.

They didn't give me any trouble at all really.

From what I'm reading we can actually walk into Mexico the same way as long as we get the permit but I haven't tried it. I was interested in avoiding the flight.

[Appalachian]

Well. An update. The bus was boarded just before reaching Laredo at a checkpoint.

They checked my passport and permit. When I flew in I was issued at no apparent cost a 180 day pass. 6 months. So I'm good.

[Appalachian]

I'm about to cross border at Laredo. Supposedly I should have no issue.

I bussed from Monterrey to Nuevo Laredo for 24 bucks roughly. I'd have been better off budding across the border but I didn't want to wait the extra 4 hours on the greyhound.

I'm just learning how it works. Trying cross with my passport only. I think I stated I would be here 14 days but I stayed 20. I'm not sure if it matters.

My larger issue is getting back to Tennessee. I went this way to scout the process so that I might return this way later. Flying would have been faster and at about the same price if I booked on time. But I didn't want a set departure date.

[Conick2000]

This is not new, they selectively enforce this when they want. You need to pay the fee over face the consequences, very simple.

I've never had them force this one me. They ask for the fee and I say I'm only here for the weekend. The they give the visa. If they did push back I would just pay it. No biggie. If you fly in the fee is included in your ticket.

Might be going to MTY next week.

Just got a distress on WhatsApp. Either it's a new policy or a gringo buddy got shaken down for $25 the MEX govt doesn't deserve.

Maybe because he's Asian.

Effective Oct 2021 and or lame excuse: "due to concerns of Corona Virus, leisure travel to Mexico is temporarily suspended. Any foreigners traveling to Monterrey even if less than 6 days still need to pay for the $25 paid pass".

I personally had a near miss in September in Tijuana, and with that in mind prior to this WhatsApp buddy situation, was thinking just saying "essential dental work at clinic in Monterrey" and be as vague as possible.

True $25 is well within my spending budget but I don't believe in shakedowns.

He says they even showed him a sign stating Effective Oct 1 2021 until further notice.

Anyone?

I was in Mexico last week with a 7 day pass and used the Acuna crossing. No fee, it was free as normal.
