General Reports

I asked Border Patrol last time I crossed PedEast and I was told that it should be "soon. " It had been closed but it's opened up recently to be used exclusively for Ukrainian refugees. It might be opened up for the general public once that demand is over.

Well the Pedwest hasn't been used for the Ukrainians for a few weeks now since the law changed for them and now they need special paperwork before being allowed to enter. The problem is nobody knows what's going to happen with Title 42 and if it is removed what kind of s show the border will become. They already have more migrants arriving daily to be ready when it expires on the 23rd. If they aren't let in I already know of some that will just cross illegally. They've been in Tijuana since Sunday. Now they just wait and see.

Last night a bro met me in Chavelas, showed me his arms full of nasty red bumps of bed bug bites. This is a very serious problem as you can bring the bed bugs home, spread it everywhere to others, and really get crewed with trying to get rid of them.

Last year another bro reported cock roaches invaded his room, got into his shoes, clothing, lap top and luggage. The bro said Motel Diaz on Revo near the Arc was nice, clean with aircon for about the same price.

Leyva should be avoided unless you want to risk infected with diseases and bring bed bugs and cock roaches home with you. Any bros confirming bed bugs / cock roach problems at any hotel in La Zona, please alert us.

Any word on when PedWest will be opening?

Correct, VIP Card can be purchased at HK Reception. It can also be purchased at check-in at Cascadas in case you're staying there for the night.

It has been a few years since my last visit. In the past I just purchase the card at HK reception. Is it still the case? Thanks.

You can purchase the card at HK customer service desk or where you check into Cascadas.

There's no COVID testing going into Mexico or coming back for pedestrians crossings.

Are there any vaccine or covid testing requirements for pedestrians crossing into Mexico? Are there any vaccine or covid testing requirements for returning US citizens at the pedestrian entry points?

Yes very easy to do. Go to the main TelCel office in Plaza Rio and purchase a phone plus sim card there.

Best to get a phone plan that works on both sides of border. I usually calling Mx. From USA days before a visit to see who is going to be around and also to shop the agencies.

One time I gave my phone to a chica I was having a drink with because she was so fucking impressed with my iphone she's never held one before. In about 5 seconds, she turned on my hotspot, changed my password and piggbacked my data. I didn't even figured it out until the next day.

Lesson learned. Never let anyone get their hands on your phone. It's basically your life line when travelling. Always travel with the motto of trust no one.

Can the holder of a VIP card make Cascada hotel bookings for another person at the discount rate? Or only for the card holder?

I don't think so, if I remember correctly, you get the discount when you check in, not when you book.

Got a keep an eye out for sharks! They can be absolutely ruthless.

I lost a 60 dollar Droid phone in playboy club once. I asked staff if anyone saw it. No good. When I returned in hour the girl I bought drinks from had it and wanted me to pay for it LOL. My top offer was 5 backs when she saw me leaving without it she gave it to me for 5 bucks. If it was a new I phone of course she would of kept it.

Any discounts that come with the VIP don't come in to play until you check-in in person. The Cascadas website is only to reserve a room but there's no monetary transaction that takes place; that's done in person.
