Posts: 22Couple of questions from Tijuana "Retread"
Hi guys, have been out of the hobby for a few years since hooking up with a lady from Toronto full-time (long story) and ending up where you would expect (international divorces are a pain in the ass, let me tell you!). Anyway, am heading to Tijuana after about 5 years off and have been looking on the boards for info, but thought I would ask directly:
1. There are a lot of websites with girls advertised; are these any better than just tooling around Zona Norte and negotiating (I don't have much spanish)
2. In the past, the girls would have a room or would direct you to hotel; is it better just to have a room (e. G, Ticuan) prior to trolling.
3. Is it better to find girls in the clubs (and will they leave with you) , use the websites, or off the street?
Thanks for any help. Will post when I return.
Until then, I remain,
Your obedient servant,
Winston

This is an interesting article I saw. It's so true but at the same time the US is finally doing the right thing instead of footing the bill. I met some very serious criminals deported from the US in Tijuana, they weren't bad guys they just grew up in bad neighborhoods. What's funny is these guys were good people that killed or attempted to kill people because that's what they were raised to think was necessary, but in Tijuana it doesn't take being in a gang to survive it takes money so they work their asses off for way less then minimum wage. I don't think the problem is as bad as they make it out to be, for the % of guys I met that were deported vs the crime I saw the numbers don't add up. Mexico is their prison.

Posts: 502Taxi's it is better to pay in pesos especially with the exchange rate the way it is. They wanted $20 to get to Rosarito but when I said ok 200 pesos is good they would take it. At some point it gets to be too much but one night I felt cheap and told a guy I'd pay him 15 he said no, I walked away and he changed his mind quick. It would cost me $15 in gas to drive that here in the states. If you're going there a lot though I would get one taxi driver you know and call or text him when you need him, then you know prices and can trust the guy. You could also make sure to get english speaking taxi drivers.

There is also the Airport Only taxi's when you go from the Airport back to the Border. They try to inflate the price because they are "exclusive". The fare should be no more than $15. 00. Again. Negotiate before you get in the Taxi. And be ready to walk away.
Sometimes I tell the guy just bring me to the Taco Stand just past the first left turn heading to the border. Get out. Pay $3. 00. Eat some tacos. Wave down a yellow cab coming back from the airport (not allowed to pick up a passenger) and pay the normal $6.00 back to the border.

Posts: 1102 year update
It had been about 2 years since I had been in Tijuana. Less hassale than before. No real haggling with the taxi drivers. Just wanted $5 from border to Hong Kong and the same from Hong Kong Back. Before it it was them staring at $8 and working down and coming back the ride was a little higher.
Also ate lunch at a little restrauant across from Hong Kong (street side not alley side). Beefsteak, rice, beans chips, slasa and coke for $3. 25. Actually pretty good. Looks like a hole in the wall.

However, I did have a great time in HK that night. I had my camera and was taking pictures like a freaken tourist!
Sorry, I can't agree with the,"This is one night you may be better off in NYC." comment. I will take the Zona over NYC and day of the year, including NYE, which I plan to spend in the Zona.

Posts: 3853Halloween = Family Night In The Zona
The zona was "dead" tonight (pun intended). Instead there were families with kids trick or treating all over the place. Who the hell brings their kids to a red light district to trick or treat ? Crazy.
This is one night you may be better off in NYC.

Never ever accept. A drink that was not opened in front of you! Do not be shy / foolish, they know better, it is not culture but scam.
