General Reports

[QUOTE=Jackie888]I've canceled all trips to South of the Border until further notice. Aside from the threat of the flu, our border closes if we hit stage 6 (we're currently at 4). And as far as I know, there is a medication shortage in Mexico. It's very bad luck to be on the wrong side of the border if we hit stage 6.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprise if the clubs temporarily close for a couple of weeks. Anyone knows whether the clubs are still open?

I feel really bad for the ladies. They have to earn a living. Plus they're on the wrong side of the border where medication is scarce.[/QUOTE]
I canceled my trip down today too. I am not worried about the flu as much as the border situation. I have heard lines are slower than usual and as Jackie said, there is a real threat that they will close the border, even if temporarily, while you are still in TJ.


I guess you guys will have to jack off for a couple of weeks.

[QUOTE=Tijuana Fannatic]I am not worried about the flu as much as the border situation. Tijuana[/QUOTE]Too bad O'Toole's guide does not have a "Flu" Section. Anyone consider doing it while wearing a mask?

All seriousness look at the "Spanish Flu" on Wiki or somewhere. That stuff during WWI was crazy. It killed more healthy people than it did children, sick, elderly because your body's immmunity is used against you.

Anyways be safe.

I had planned to make my second sojourn down to Tijuana on cinco de mayo but due to the pandemic I have postponed my trip. Not just due to the pandemic tho. I also would like the opportunity to save up a little extra cash and instead of doing a day trip try and spend 72 hours in Tijuana. That way I'll have time to monger and do the tourist thing. Maybe even catch a bull fight.

Oh. And as far as RTTF goes lately. I'm up to page 120 of 190 on the tijuana reports section. I've been reading the fucking fourum like a fool lately because I've become intriged by Tijuanas Zona Norte LOL.

Mexico Mitigation Plan - Paper thin Surgical Fashion Mask
DF chicas in paper thin surgical mask (source MSN).

Adventure Package?:find a N95 rated surgical mask, keep clean hands away from the mouth, nose and eyes, and follow the WHO's Director-General recommendation - no border closure.


Russia, HK & China will conduct secondary inspection for US and Mex arrival.
WHO advise to it's members states including the Untied States of America.

Critical date May 6 for Mexico and May 5 for WHO. Mitigation plan in effect.

Border closure is an unknown risk for A(H1N1) virus as it it is clear we are at Level 5 in DF, Level 4 in NY, Level 3 in CA. A very dynamic and fearful situation for everyone.

# Given the widespread presence of the virus, the Director-General considered that containment of the outbreak is not feasible. The current focus should be on mitigation measures.

# The Director-General recommended not to close borders and not to restrict international travel. It was considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention.

# The Director-General considered that production of seasonal influenza vaccine should continue at this time, subject to re-evaluation as the situation evolves. WHO will facilitate the process needed to develop a vaccine effective against A(H1N1) virus.

# The Director-General stressed that all measures should conform with the purpose and scope of the International Health Regulations.

I've spent the last few days off time reading the fourum and am up to page 159 out of 193 and I intend to finish all 193 posts. I don't intend to dig much further since reports from 2005 are kinda too old to be reading through and will work on possibly the reports of distinction after that.

However I do have a few questions that hopefully I can get an answer to before I take my trip hopefully in june or july after this pandemic goes away.

1. When I was in the Zona I don't remember seeing any cross walk signals at the corners of the streets and with the way people drove I was almost afraid to walk across the street. In order to avoid Jay Walking how do I know when it is ok to cross the street, I remember reading around page 150 that pedestrians have the right of way but not everyone obeys that law and we both know who wins a fight between human and car.

2. Is Las Pulgas still open? I would like to find a place near the strip to relax and not be hustled for drinks, have girls constantly asking me to go arriba after I've just gotten done pounding my 3rd girl and need a breather. Any other non working girl bars close to the zona that you guys would recomend?

3. In reguards to the casino there is it similar to those of downtown las vegas? What I mean is do they have both slot machines and table games such as roulette and blackjack? What are the minimums?

4. On a similar note has anyone gonne to the arcade near the zona? Do they have up to date games or am I going to be walking into an arcade from the 80's?

and lastly

5. How many of you guys regularly go to TJ and bang 4 or 5 chicas a day? When I went back around easter I felt like I was in heaven. ALL these beautiful chicas in one place and i could fuck every one of them if i had the $$$. I wish i could get back all the money I've spent on adult entertainment in the states since I turned 18 and go to TJ. I'd have a zero sperm count LOL.

According to the experts there is absolutely no proof the masks can prevent or even reduce the odds of getting the flu. In fact they could become saturated like sponges and you would be constantly breathing in cold and flu viruses.

They may help contain the virus if worn by carriers but no protection for those wearing them.

Most of the flu is spread by finger contact and they emphasize money being a major carrier.

[QUOTE=Joehart1]Thanks everyone,

A few weeks back I asked about eating the food in Tijuana. I recieved some terriffic feedback and I had planned on staying in the area on my upcoming visit.

But now it appears that eating south of the border is not the main health probem. Things are always changing I guess. My planned trip is in July with my airfares booked. Hopefully, this flu will have run it's course by then. We'll see. I know by coming to this site I'll have the most updated info.

Thanks again and enjoy![/QUOTE]There is an great restaurant, I have been eating here since 1992, easy to find, get a taxi. I block off of Cuahtemoc Norte and 1 block south of Aguas Caliente blvd. There is a short street at an angle off Aguas Caliente Blvd and Cuahtemoc. Big sign says "24 Hours". Good prices and home cooked food, like going to Grandma's. Everyone knows this place. Great dinners and lunches for aroung 800pesos. If you are at the Palacio Azteca hotel you are a block south of the street.

[QUOTE=Sgt Perv]On the news today, there was talk about the US may close the US/Mexican border due to the flu out break.

My trip down in June now is on hold.

That swine flu is some serious stuff.[/QUOTE]

Just watched Obama's interview since it's his 100th day in office. Wow, time flies. They asked him about closing down the border and his response was that the united states is not in a panic state so it will not do that. But that it can happen if things really get bad. I doubt that will happen.

I've delayed any trips I was taking. Not like I was planning on a trip soon anyways but now I definitely won't go for a while until this calms down a bit. I'm going to text some of my favorite girls and tell them to be cautious.


EDIT:
Was watching the news and saw who they believed was the first victim and the spreader of the swine flu. It was a little kid in a small one mule town in Mexico. Quickly afterwards many others in the town where infected. Kid pulled through though. He's fine, running around and playing like it was only a cold he had gone through. They farm pigs around that town but all pigs have since been euthanized and disposed of.

800 pesos? Must be damn good food! :)

[QUOTE=Efjayel] They asked him about closing down the border [/QUOTE]
Like if that ever worked LOL!

In the news, 300,000 pigs were killed in Egypt for prevention, let's eat more bacon so we can get rid of the pigs lol.

Jeez I agree!
What was it Lobster, caviar and fine wine?

Typical American news media, asking dumb questions and not providing the right information as usual.

What they should really be saying is that, if you are old, easily get sick or have young children traveling with you, you should avoid going to Mexico save for emergencies.

I would go down, short on cash this month though, next month maybe you know how the US news cycle works and funny that prosecution for war crimes was starting to put Obama on the hot seat and a flu scare comes up.... But I think the media (the left side anyway) is like a dog with a bone on this one, they aren't going to let a flu scare distract them and that's a good thing...

I mean did SARS all of a sudden become dormant???

I purchased a ticket to San diego several weeks back for a quick Tijuana run for labor day weekend. I've been reading posts here and following the news closely. I've come to the decision that I'm still going to make my trip. What do you guys think? Am I crazy?

I purchased tickets to San Diego a couple weeks ago for a memorial day weekend trip to Tijuana. I've been reading this board and listening to the news about the swine flu. I've decided not to postpone a thing. Do you guys think I'm crazy?
