Hong Kong Club Reports

[SeaBeeJoe]

Anybody know when this event is? It is pictured as an upcoming event on the HK website, but there is no date attached for when.

I saw on the bulletin board yesterday it is Feb 8th.

It's been awhile since I made my trip. I know the girls go back home for the holidays. I'm thinking about make a trip next weekend or shall I wait. Thanks in advance!

[Captain Solo]

Will soon figure out who the stupid pricks are.

You must be new here.

There is much meaning in so few words in this perfect post.

Very little about this story seems true.

Yep, you're right. If you get off at the last stop by the Dax it's literally a straight shot down Constitucion to Zona Norte, probably even a slightly shorter walk. I guess I'm just used to walking up and down Revolucion so have been more comfortable getting off there. I guess depending on time of day, some might feel more comfortable walking down Revolucion as it tends to be busier and a bit less sketchy.

I exit the van at Revolucion because I typically stay in a hotel in Centro as opposed to the Zona. I check in and dropoff my stuff before heading to the Zona. I like the Zona but I need time away during my trips to Tijuana. I've done the Cascadas, Rizo and Adelitas hotel thing and it's great for bar girl escapades but I've preferred Centro over the last several years so I can have my cake and eat it too. I'm other words, fill up on escorts and make the short walk to the Zona to pop some bar girls.

You don't have to say anything, all these vans have a last stop and it's the following block from where the Ruta 3 bar on Revolucin is at by the Dax store on the corner. From there you simply walk a couple blocks straight north to get to the zona. I do it all the time, never had a problem. Once in a while I'll take the HK limo if I see other mongers already waiting or if they're already in the process of pulling out the lot, I dont like riding it solo, otherwise I just take the bus or vans that go to El Centro and leave me those couple blocks away. From there the vans circle back to the border and continue that same loop.

Every time I've taken the van they've always let me out on Revolucion. They let me out on Carillo Puerto and Revolucion by the pharmacy that's directly below the big Ruta 3 Sports Bar, which is on the corner right across the street from the Burger King mentioned earlier. It's literally right on Revolucion, not a block after as you mentioned. If you're walking down Revolucion to get to Zona Norte it's better to get off on that side of the street past the traffic light (vs. Getting off on the side where the Burger King is located) anyway as you'll eventually have to cross the street to get to that side anyway when walking to the clubs.

You can tell the driver you're getting off at Revolucion just to make sure you're getting off at the right place. If you don't know Spanish you literally only have to say "Revolucion" to him and he'll understand where you want to stop. But it's a busy location where other riders in the van tend to get off more often than not so you usually don't even need to say anything. But if you want to make sure just say "Revolucion" to the driver and you should be good.

Some at this reckless stage, anything is possible. Always a surprise!

Very little about this story seems true.

Who takes their girlfriend to HK? Why would anyone want to drink between HK and the border? They want to pass through Immigration drunk? And drive home drunk?

Who leaves Tijuana with large amounts of cash in their pocket? You bring cash to Tijuana if you want to fuck some ladies, but these guys brought their GFs.

A driver told me revolution is not a stop once. In fact like I said they rarely stop on revolution. If it was really a stop more people would ask for it. Theres often no room for him to pull over. You can ask and it works for you but immjust saying for others, they should expect to be let off one block before which is really a block and. A half before or 1 block after which is really a block then a half block north when he makes the right turn which is where the official bus stop is. I don't carry suitcase so it doesn't make difference to me where he drops me off.

With a little cussing mixed in I was like "fuck we could have been home already if we just jumped on a ruta". And her response ohhh noo mucho rateros. I have never had any issues using the rutas.

Yeah, I've never had any problems on the rutas either. The people on them have generally been super cool. Although my income bracket has risen substantially over the years, low budget / no frills has always been much more my speed anyway.

Now that I think about it I will say I don't know any chicas who use the rutas. The ones I know all either drive or use taxi / Uber / Didi as transportation. Get the impression that some think they're too good for the rutas. One girl I used to mess with at Adelitas uses Uber to send her kids to school every day. I asked her why doesn't she just put her kids on the ruta route to save money (I've on multiple occasions seen school kids in uniform going to and from school on the rutas which is why I asked). She mentioned something to the effect of the rutas being "very nasty" and that she would never use them, LOL.

With these busses which locals call taxis, they are size of white long sprinter vans. I do not believe they will always stop on revolution. I get off a block before revolution which is called Madero. If you stay on, the next stop is about a block after revolution. This stop, is just as close if not closer to Hong Kong so if you miss Madero stop this one will be fine too. I'd say I've only seen them stop at revolution maybe 10% of the time. Either way personally I would not want to be walling on any street including revolution with a suitcase. You probably won't be robbed but everyone's gonna be looking at you and thinking (tourist / rich gringo / Russian asylum seeker / he about to get robbed).

Taxi van for 10 pesos is tough to beat. It's 15 at night which is still quite the bargain.

Yea I love the rutas a great bargain. Just slightly uncomfortable traveling at primetime when you are packed in like sardines.

Main problem I have is the GF is spoiled rotten and insists on uber / didi. I probably spend 1000 pesos a weekend on didi compared to I would probably be spending around 200 pesos using rutas.

It pretty much lead to fights this past weekend as didi kept us waiting long periods of time. With a little cussing mixed in I was like "fuck we could have been home already if we just jumped on a ruta". And her response ohhh noo mucho rateros. I have never had any issues using the rutas.

No. Get out on Revolution at the Burger King and do the short easy walk to the Zona. As I said, the van leaves when it's full or near full then another one will pull up.
