IDs needed to cross over border
I havent been keeping up the last 3 months with whats needed to get to TJ. Im a frequent TJ visitor, usually every month, but I havent been in a while.
Whats required now? Passport if I read correctly. Mine is expired about 4 months, what do you guys think, not going to be valid? I know Birth Cert also but I dont have that on hand at the moment. Can you still get back with just a DL?
Man, I wanna go so bad this weekend, but I didnt prepare for the passport deal. heh.
A glimpse of the dark side
After coming out of CC a couple of Sundays ago, about 8:30, and having one more taco de pastor, I decided to head home. As I was standing on the corner debating where to pick up a taxi, this Mexican kid in a white shirt comes up to me and asks me if I want to visit a massage place. I politely declined.
“No, I’m broke and tired.”
“Oh. All finished for tonight?”
“Oh, yes.”
He then puts on his bow tie and asks me if it’s straight. I straighten it out for him. Then we get to chatting about things in general. The kid’s really personable and speaks very good English, but with lots of “ghetto” expressions. He’s straight out of Central Casting, but he proved interesting.
I won’t try to relate his stories verbatim, but I’ll try to relay the gist of what he told me.
Payment
He told me he gets no salary, but works with several of the massage places along Coahuila. He didn’t say, but I assume it’s Mermaids and La Tropa, maybe others. Depending on the venue, he gets between $10 and $20 for each customer he brings in, if the stay and get a massage. If they don’t stay, he gets nothing except, maybe, a couple of dollars tip. Additionally, he has business “relationships” with lots of SGs (not to be confused with the pareditas in the alley), and I’m sure he gets a cut of their action if he sets up a rendezvous.
Police
“They are professional criminals” according to him. After being deported from the USA he began working the street corner there. He said, at the time, he didn’t have proper Mexican ID because he wasn’t born in TJ. For quite a while the TJPD would routinely arrest him. Now, I guess they don’t arrest him, but shake him down on a regular basis. Some nights he has money to give them, others he has to ask them to come back later after he makes a little bit and he’ll give them their cut. We compared notes about the masked, helmeted and machine-gun toting Federales who conducted the raids all up and down the street on Saturday. He says it’s just for show, but nothing will be done. He insists the cops know where the drugs are, but don’t raid those places. (They looked kinda serious to me, but I was in no position to argue).
Girls
Angel began to expound on the virtues of “his” street girls. While we were chatting a girl came up to him, along with two young boys, probably her brothers, as they were too old to be her kids. After a quick conversation they wandered off. He told me he was surprised that she was “working,” as he hadn’t seen her before. He said she asked him to send some customers her way. Then a tiny chica with light brown skin came up to him. She was wearing tight clothing, but a jacket, as it was cold. She looked awfully thin, hungry and tired, with what appeared to be dark circles under her eyes. He introduced me to her and they talked a bit. After she left he explained that she was something of a deadbeat. She didn’t like to pay back loans. One of her girlfriends had loaned her some money and she hadn’t paid it back. A little while ago she got lucky at bingo (the locals call the slot machines in the casinos “bingo”). As she was leaving her friend came up to her, with another girlfriend, and demanded her money. She said she didn’t have it and turned out her pockets. At that point the two girls jumped her, beat the shit out of her, blacked both her eyes (explaining the dark circles), stuck their hands into her panties and retrieved all of her winnings and took off. So, she was looking for customers, but probably wasn’t finding too many takers. Angel then tells me why the alley girls are no good. They only go for 15 minutes, they don’t take off all their clothes, they charge $25 - $30, etc., etc. But the girls he knew were so much better. “They go for a whole hour, they work naked, they’re all young, barely legal, 18 – 22, and you can do anything you want. A lot of them are fresh to the business. Now I’m not guaranteeing that you can fuck THEM in the ass, but if you’re gentle and nice, who know? And the older ones, no problem. And they’re only $40 - $50. ” I just smiled and nodded. “And, they’ll go to your hotel with you. The alley girls won’t. All-nighters during the week are $200, and $300 on the weekends. As we were chatting, he was pointing out several of his girls standing around. (This was on the SE corner of Con. and Coahuila). Now none of these girls rated higher than a 5 on the not-too-fussy Phord scale, and ALL of them had that hollow-cheek look of somebody with a serious drug problem. Not only wouldn’t I let them anywhere near my hotel room for an hour, I wouldn’t even fuck them with FJL's dick! :-) But, I guess there’s a market, or they wouldn’t be there.
Anyway, after watching some of the street people come up to him and repay loans he’d made, it was time to go, so I gave him a couple of dollars, mostly for the entertainment. He was kind enough to find me a taxi that would actually use the meter back to the border. FYI, a ride from there to the border (not on the Sentri drop-off side, but the other side of the bridge) is under $2.00. I knew it was less than the yellow cabs, but I didn’t realize it was that much less.
So, for a couple of bucks I got a brief glimpse into the workings of the darker side of the Zona. Man, it’s sure tough to make a living. We normally experience the people at the upper end of the food chain in AB, HK and CC. After this, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to experience anybody much lower.

Second trip out....Purple Rain!!!
Hello fellow mongers,
Its STORY time!
Here is my second trip down to TJ, so my buddies and I headed down to TJ only a week after our first trip. Before we left we decided that we got ripped off at the Luxor so we were gonna ask the taxi driver if he new a better ***** house. We got to the border parked the car. We did our and yours albet, ritual of taking everything out of our pockets accept cash and ID, we headed to the actual border. There is always hot chicks before the border (possible clubbers more then likely).
We make it to the cab and my friend asked the driver where the best/affordable ***** house was. The driver said Purple rain. And we were like fuck it, lets try it. So we were off. We get there and automatically we see chicks all over the drive way, looking hot and so good. We sit down in a heavily fogged strip club. The girls are standing around, and this older lady approaches us. She states in English mind you, that if we want any of these girls to tell her and she will set it up. The fee would be 85 buck for 30 minutes. We sit around watching the girls dance on the stage.
Next thing you know the older lady tells all the girls to stand in a line so we could choose which we wanted. Dude heaven again. My friends pick there girls while I wait and continue to see if any new chicks are coming. Eventually I got tired of waitin, so I got up and found a hot smoking chick and said Hi to her, she told me that it would be 85 bucks for 30 minutes I agreed. We went up to there little motel.
She opens the door to see if there is anyone in the room, no one but the cleaning lady. I hear giggles, and next thing ya know my buddy is coming out of the room next door. We laugh and talk abit and my chick goes in Spanish "to much talking not enough sex" god that was hot. Anyway the tiny room consists of a bed that feels like the bed in a hospital, not comfy and thin. There is also a boom box in every room along with a couch and ottoman. She gets undressed we chit chat, and I get undressed. She puts the condom on and we go at it. This chick was, though a complete orgasm faker, pretty good at it. She was nice and thin and petite is the word I'm looking for.
So we finish she kisses me on the cheek and leaves to shower, I see her grab a brand new soap bar, and I leave. Down stairs my friends are waiting for me. They are eating tacos at the taco shack, not a stand cause it’s a building, but its propped against the Purple Rain. The taco dude is so cool. He talks nice English and tells us stories of how he use to live in SO CAL. Oh he later told us to fuck Kimberly, cause she has a quote "tight panocha".
We leave with a taxi cab to the border, the driver drops us off in a seedy location. We all get freaked out. As we walk the side walk we hear "YOU STOP! " me and my friend nearly [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] ourselves, luckily they were talking to a drunk white boy, my friend asked "is this a check point" the crooked cop says no just keep walking. We all start to laugh on our way to the border at how fucked up cops are there. Now the guy at the us border kinda hassled me abit. He quizzed my life where were you born, citizen ship, what did you do in Mexico. I told him I was parting LOL. Then he let me go, the guy at the door complimented my tattoo and we were off back to L. A. At around 3am. Awesome trip.
