It's been awhile since I've been to La Zona, but recall over the years meeting several Russian, Ukrainian, and assorted Eastern European babes. With the recent influx of Ukrainians and Russians at the border, and their well earned reputation as lovers for hire, has anyone noticed or met any such chicks?
[QUOTE=MerakiUnicorn;2681835]Thanks for the very useful tips. I'm just asking cause I remember someone here mentioning about something you can fill up online to skip that fee.
I don't want some ******* cops to take advantage of me. If the fee is not mandatory, why should I pay?[/QUOTE]When was the last time you crossed? They technically "re-opened" the border last November. If you tried to cross prior to that during COVID you technically were supposed to have an "essential" reason for crossing the border. (If you didn't they nearly always let people cross anyway if they were willing to pay a $20 or $30 "fee" which customs officials often pocket themselves.) Crossing to visit a sick friend wouldn't qualify as an essential reason. Also, most of those officials are experienced enough to ascertain who's being truthful and who's not. For example, if you were trying to cross late on a weekend night, dressed like you were about to go to a nightclub, and you're claiming to be crossing for one night just to "visit a sick friend", chances are they won't believe you LOL.
Yes, filling out the FMM online beforehand greatly increases the chances they won't try to solicit the $20/$30 "fee" out of you. Customs officials greatly prefer to prey on inexperienced tourists (of which there are plenty every night); taking the time to complete the FMM online beforehand is evidence that you're an experienced border crosser which makes it much less likely that they'll pick on you.
[QUOTE=MerakiUnicorn;2681827]Question: I have a US passport. Last time I crossed the border, they charged me $30 fee. I told them I am just going to be visiting a sick friend for 1 night. Still they said they cannot waive the $30 fee to enter Mexico.
How to I enter Mexico without having this fee charged? I would rather stick this $30 on a beautiful Latina ass.
Any info would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Like you I too hate paying that fee if I can avoid it. I too would rather spend it on the gals.
Ignore the replies that wrote stay home if that is a problem. We have a right to be careful with money even if we CAN afford it.
Fill out the form at this site & print it and bring it with you: [URL]https://www.inm.gob.mx/fmme/publico/en/solicitud.html[/URL].
It worked during my last two trips. No hassle and it also saves them when crossing since there nothing else to fill out.

Rambo,
I am with you. We should never let any stupid bullies rob us, even if we can afford it. Don't be a weak fool and let riff raffs abuse you. You should resist and fight back. Point out to them where are are wrong. Take down their names, date, time and details and push your grievances. That's the only way we will see any improvements and progresses.
3 of us crossed on foot Sunday afternoon 2 PM. There were 3 Mexican Imm guys manning the line, only a dozen people in front. 3 of us showed them passports with no FMM and were waved thorough quickly, but they took a gringo into the room, likely trying to rob him. He did look scared in front of them.
In front of the parking lot, a Mexican guy proposed to drive us over for $60, claiming he would save us money. We just told him to get lost.
On the way back we took HK's limo. It parked next to the pedestrian path, still a good walk. We tipped the driver $4, he seemed happy. The car was parked for 8.5 hours. They charged us double $26 for parking. Damn. We could have parked for free at the trolley stop and ride it back.

Get husted for an "FMM" at the border = Pay same money.
I fail to understand the actual problem.
"I'm going to mexico" should ring in your head that here and there, you're getting fleeced for a few dollars. Smile and tell the story later.
Just curious. Whats the longest time period for a HK chica to be working at the club that you are all aware of. I think the longest working chica I know of at HK is 7 years. I don't even want to imagine how many dicks she has taken in that time period.

You're not supposed to pay for FMMs when you stay 7 days or less. The $30 FMM is for entry for 180 days which most going to Zona Norte don't want. But a lot of times the customs officials shake pedestrian tourists down for $30 (or $20) and in a lot of those instances don't even give them an FMM they just let them go through and enter Mexico.
When you do the online FMM it does seem to greatly decrease the chance you get shaken down for $$$ (assuming you have a valid passport). But do understand $30 isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things LOL.

You pick the amount of aggravation in your day.
I've never had to do either, I drive across.

I believe its very on and off for them. When theres no other line of work where else are they going to go. The smart ones save and start a business so they can get out. Most BGs don't have that level of foresight though.
HK wasnt always as big as it is though. I bet there was girls who started of decades ago at CC or AB and are still going.

Will buy Prof Clark a few Tequila shots when he has to do any long research in Hong Kong.
We need to file complaints and make a lot of noise with the Mexican Consulate in San Diego and Tijuana Tourists Authority.

[QUOTE=Gregyyr;2681324]Your missing one important part and I am just guessing it is big as I am not a Tijuana hooker. You can be in a social situation and someone asks what you do and you don't need to lie. They live two different lives. They go home saying they are working in a restaurant or whatever. They can't tell most of their friends etc. Their family. As a painter you can do a good days work and complain later to your buddies about it. These girls can only talk to their HK friends. Also. They can't do this work in their home town, they need to be away from their family's, friends etc. Do make the money. Most of our regular jobs we can just do in the city we are in if we have a little experience!
Also. There is society shame factor, which is bullshit. Being a hooker is just as respectable as any other job in fact it's more respectable in my opinion. It's bullshit a massage therapist is respectable but the minute some guy comes it's illegal and not respectable. Also I am not going to get any STD's being a painter. No matter how much you practice safe sex. If your banging a lot of guys I really think your chance of catching something is higher. Not to mention the Covid factor of risk..[/QUOTE]Great point. Comparing sex work to hard labor job is not the same, especially with the stigma pertaining to sex work.
[QUOTE=Penetrador;2682063]Yeah I'm hoping there might be some Ukrainian pussy working in la zona.[/QUOTE]You would think there would be some Ukrainian pussy there wouldn't you. I heard HK Only hires Mexican girls for the most part. They should make a little exception for a while and allow a few Ukrainian girls in there. I bet it would go over well for the men but the working girls may not be to happy with that competition. But maybe supportive considering their country is shot to hell!
