Pedestrian Bridge on U.S. Side Perfectly Safe
[QUOTE]I wouldn't cross the bridge into Tijuana after dark alone. Although I did it a couple of times. Wait till the trolley comes and cross with the locals if you are by yourself. I went to McDonald's and by the time I came out the crossing was fairly quiet. I didn't even think of this as being a no no until I read it on this board. People have been robbed crossing alone I found out.[/QUOTE] This poster is confusing two different bridges. On the U.S. side there is a bridge over the freeway that allows pedestrians to get back and forth from the west side (where you enter Mexico) and the east side (where you exit Mexico). This bridge is patrolled by contract security guards and it's perfectly safe. On the Mexican side if you walk past the Yellow cab stand you'll find a bridge over the Tijuana river that leads toward the Zona Norte. This is where muggers lurk. You should never walk from the border to the Zona or back. Take a taxi instead.
3rd Adelitas trip, have a question
Hey, mongurus
So, I had my first trip to Tijuana during Spring Break (I'm a lowly research assistant at a state university trying to finish a degree, so I'm quite poor).
Anyway, I first arrived on a monday, it was slow, and being a newbie, I spent my first $60 on what wound up being a pretty prefunctory experience (albeit no worse than what I've sometimes paid much more for in nearby Nevada).
But the second girl I found...great Caesar's ghost.
Sonya (sic?) from Chihuahua. Put her tongue in places I didn't know had nerves...great GFE.
When I came back through after visiting a friend, I couldn't find her, and wound up just sampling a few street girls (reasonable value...second one was authentically pretty).
Anyway, I'm going back this Monday and I had a few questions for the regulars.
1. Am I likely on a Monday night to be able to get an all-night room at the hotel above Adelitas? I got one last time, but the second time through, I couldn't get a room for the second night.
2. How the hell do I go about tracking down this girl again? Do I tip a waiter and hope he knows who the hell she is? Do I just hang around and hope? After subtracting overhead (gas, room, drinks, food, taxi, parking), I've got about $140 USD, so if I can't find her, I can find something.
I've read the board and seen a lot of interesting ideas on how to find/create the GFE experience I'm looking for. Does anybody have any reco's?
Thanks, guys
WIFE: What did you spend your bonus on?
ME: Liquor and prostitutes.
WIFE: You don't drink.
ME: The liquor was for the prostitutes.
Thanks, HT, what about Sundays?
HornyTraveler,
Cool, that's some good information there, although I'm bummed that it will often take time to work up a GFE, but such is life.
I actually might bump my trip up to Sunday...anybody know what the rough odds are of getting an all night room above Adelitas (or anywhere else safe in the Zona Roja, really) on a Sunday night?
Thanks
