This guy is making a much newer version, and has some f**king delusions of grandeur. On his blog he says he is making this documentary for Cannes and Sundance, BS!

I don't even want to put the link down as to further promote him. If you are that interested in finding the video, do a google search for "a day in the zona norte". He has hosted his video and several video sharing sites and has a blog.

Personally, I think this j**ka** gives gringos a bad name. He is making some ignorant generalizations of Mexico and Mexicans, and he is clearly in making street girls uncomfortable, after they have made it clear they don't want to be filmed.

If you want to do a documentary, then do it right. Get someone who knows what the hell they are talking about, pay some of these people, develop relationships, but don't take without asking.

I think you might be talking about this documentary. I saw it years ago and have a copy on VHS. It is worth owning just to laugh about. But nowadays you can probably watch it online somewhere:
http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Border-VHS...0625588&sr=1-1

He took a real, ugly crackhead up to the room with him and she fell off the bed!
He did have some shots of Adelita Bar, but the faces were blurred.

From what I saw, this guy has no clue about Mexico, no clue about Tijuana, no clue about the zona, and really doesn't have anything intelligent to say at all. He is interviewing himself by the police station across from callejon coahuila, and there are like 3 chicks with their back to him. He interviews this old crack head lady that is always trying to hustle people at night.

All and all it reminded me of the wannabe travel guides on youtube, the ones with no insight or thought. It is like a newbie speculating on the zona after his first trip. Really a waste of time, and an invasion of a lot of people's privacy.

You would be risking your security by posting a meet.

You would have no idea who is who for real.

I could put on any name tag cause you harm , if I was so inclined.

We use this web site to tell war stories and exchange info.

To meet with people would be fun but the risk would be great also.

Making plans via pm would be safer but there is no way to no for sure what would happen.

I can understand about feeling safer among a group but you need to know the group beforehand.

Those days are long gone. I was watching the Mexican news during spring break and they did an aerial shot of the beach by Rosarito and Playas highlighting the point that it is dead compared to a couple years ago. When I was in high school I remember that place being crazy. I have been told that the Universities have all put the fear of god (or Mexican mobsters) into the coeds, and cut the free shuttle they once had to the border.

Chicas take the religious holidays off. I pity the poor priest who has to listen to their confessions.

“Forgive me Father for I have sinned, my last confession was three days ago.
Since then:
I sucked and fucked 47 cocks
23 of them fuck me in the ass for a few pesos more.
Most were average in size. Several were small and from Japan, they gave me a lot of money so it was O.K.
There was a couple so big they could have choked Linda Lovelace, I did the best I could. It hurt when they fucked me, but it was a kind of hurt that felt good; is that a sin?
10 of them came on my face. The big ones I did with a smile, no charge.
I did 5 lesbo shows with my girlfriend with big tits, she shoved a dildo in my pussy while a room full of drunken guys cheered us on. If I liked it, is that a sin?
I made 1000 dollars but told my family in Cuernavaca I made 800. I sent them only 400. The difference I spent on crystal meth.
By the way Father, if you give me an easy penance, I’ll suck your dick real good.”

Forgive me if I"m way off base with this as I'm a relatively new POSTING member to this board but I'm a member of other boards reguarding other subjects and one of the things one of my groups does is have "member meets" certain dates set in advance or on short notice where members set a date and time and place to meet and share experiences.

Would this be something that the fellows here at ISG and in particular the TJ board would be interested in doing?

Normally in the states mongering is a solo sport. It's very illegal not to mention there is ALOT of competetion by mongers to pick up the same girls so much as to where I've seen actual shoting matches erupt between mongers going for the same girl and blatant traffic violations trying to be first.

However in TJ there is so many girls peddeling their wares both in the bars and on the streets I'm sure that this wouldn't be much of a problem and it would give a chance for us mongers to exchange war stories and information.

We could even have T-Shirts printed up or maybe buttons so that ISG mongers can identify one another with our usernames printed on them.

Again if I'm way off base with this I apologize but I thought it would be interesting. Plus it would give me a chance to have some company to talk to as I will almost always be alone when I travel to TJ.

I'm only a TJ newbie and had my first trip last week however I'm already trying to save up more money to head out to TJ once again. To do so I've started putting 20 to 40 bucks away in a piggy bank every time I am tempted to monger here in the states. When it gets to 300 it'll definately be time to go to TJ again.

Tijuana Fanatic: Both the day and evening shift was down 60% at Adelitas. About 20% down at Hong Kong. About 50% down at the bar right next to Hong Kong. Chicago had about 3 ladies in the entire place in the day time, I didn't return in the evening. Shops were open as usual. But I was down the Thursday following Easter, not Easter weekend.

Efjayel: I didn't see the younger crowd. I think news of the Mexican violence scared them all away. If not the news, then the SWAT team patrolling the Zona. Most of my fellow man were in their 30s and above. The ones in the 20s were clearly out of college.

Thanks for the post Jackie888. Since you were down there for Easter could you give us some general information on the number of girls out. Also, was anything normally open closed.

Like others I often search for posts written around the holidays when I plan to go down for that holiday in a following year. I was about to do down this year for Easter weekend but saw a post somewhere saying many girls take Easter week off.

thanks,

TJ

PARKING. I parked in the $8 lot rather than the Jack in the Box because it appears to me that it offered better security. So I was willing to pay the $3 premium.

TRAVEL. The border was patroled by Mexican Marines + Mexican border police. Upon crossing the border, I paid $3 to Taxi Libre for the trasportation. I always pick an older driver even when stuck with the yellow cab cartel, which I despise. They drive more cautiously, keep the seatbelts in their car in working order and not badger you for tips. I'd rather not start out my vacation with by fighting with an asshole taxi-driver.

ADELITAS. I think it's because of Easter, but this place was sparse. The ladies tend to be older than in the past. So they looked to be in the 24-34 range. However, they don't blast the music as loud as they used to, which is a nice retreat if you get burned out later. Price was 50-70 USD, or 600-800 Pesos. They will take pesos for drinks. The waiters are less pushy than other clubs. This place has melowed out since I've last visited. One big bonus about Adelitas is that the ladies generally speak English.

Hong Kong. Here, the ladies are younger but are not as pretty as Adelitas. But there are more! There are two types, one group wearing slutty clothes and the second group wearing conservative black dresses & miniskirts. I was first under the impression that the conservatives don't do the nasty thing. This is wrong. They do everything the other group does. The only difference is that they don't do the go-go dancing and strip show. Upstairs, private dances, etc. Everyone does it. Price was 50-70 USD, or 600-800 pesos. One thing I dislike about HK is that the ladies generally don't speak English, and that they blast their music. So you end up yelling a lot and you can't tell whether the ladies can't hear you or can't understand you. The best thing about this club is that you can practically get any lady to sit and play with your piece for a price of a drink. Personally, I like the lap dance. Yes you can bone them for $72 (60+12) and the dance is $20. But I see it as sampling. Maybe I'm picky, but I don't want to waste my 1/2 hour boning a real ***** of a woman. My time and energy there is as precious as my dollar.

MINOR CLUBS. Didn't get to flavor them this trip. But I did poke my head inside. Other than the one right next to Hong Kong, they were insufficient ladies. What I don't like is they like to turn the lights down. So you can't see whether the ladies are less attractive or not.

DRINKS. They still cost around $3 each. I tend to get a beer upon first arrival. But then I purchase a water bottle afterwards. You can take it to other clubs (provided you hide them upon entering), wrap a napking around it and walk around without being harrassed for drinks.

EAT. I've the world's weakest stomach. So I stay with the restaurant next to Adelitas or the Chicago club. I'm workign my way down their menu. I suppose I'll venture out to other places after I finish the menu.

PESOS. I tried using pesos to save money. However, my inabilty to speak Spanish and the inability of the ladies to do simple math, it's been a real pain. From my experience, the ladies think in USDollars. Then the convert it back to pesos. What ever romance or heat you have with a lady before you negotiate evaporates by the time you lock down a price. So unless you can speak Spanish, stick to USDollars for the ladies.

SANITARY. I try to wash my hands a lot, particularly BEFORE using the restroom. If you're like me, you like to touch as you go through a club (hey I'm a prevert, my hands go everywhere). So I do advise my fellow man to wash their hands clean of bacteria prior to handling their piece in the bathroom. It's a shame to pick up a STD but it's outrageous to pick it up without engaging in actual sex.

OUTLETS. BTW, if anyone wants to do some shopping, there is a minimall with outlet stores about 1/4 mile from the border. Turn right when you get off the final exit. Much of them are for guys. Nike, Adidas etc.come to think of it, the marjority of them are for guys unlike other outlet malls.

Hmmm. Maybe they know something.

Granted you have a point about windy days due to the general pollution of the streets, but the groundwater around the Tijuana area is extremely contaminated due to a poor sewage system. The water treatment system in TJ is no more efficient than anywhere else in Mexico, and the news of safe tap water in TJ would have made national headlines here. It is that unbelievable. Contaminated tap water in TJ can be in ice, it is used to rinse vegetables and dishes. Improper food storage and preparation is the next culprit of Montezuma’s Revenge.
You live there and your body has had time to build up its defenses, most mongers don’t put in the hours required to develop a dependable immune system. There are countless varieties of pathogens. Some hit one person hard, while the next person will hardly be affected. Pathogens are very small and it only takes a few to get things started. What puts a small squirt in your dump can put a gringo in bed for days with stomach cramps.
A lot of you will probably roll your eyes when I say this again but I’ll do it anyways; take a Peptol Bismol tablet before you eat (but not before your ED helpers).and you won’t have problem with your meal, and DON’T DRINK THE WATER!

You are probably correct, I don't have the balls to verify the story. It was posted on one of the boards by a monger who decided to test the sample to see how bad it actually is. I have no first hand experience myself and, like I said I don't have the balls to try!

When I eat at my favorite taco stand on normal days I have no difficulties; every time I ate on or just after a windy spell, I got sick. Lessons learned.

If I violate the above rule, I spend a day or two on the toilet...

I read somewhere recently that an analysis of TJ tap water came out cleaner than San Diego water...

My point is that you shouldn't get sick from washing your hands and then sucking your thumb.

The next day my stomach started grumbling so I went to the restroom and had a bad case of diarrhea. Came out black and very watery, in short bursts, "BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!" Was actually kind of fun. lol

Then I felt better.

I didn't get sick or anything I just had to use the restroom. Now I wonder if it was the tacos, the seafood, the burrito or the burger that caused this. First time that eating at Tj caused me any problems. I have a strong stomach anyways, I can eat a lot of crap and not be affected by it.
