[QUOTE=South Gate;1116397]I bike a lot so I don't think the ride from the border to Zona Norte will kill me. Regarding safety, I am hoping to find a hotel to stay at while I am there and I will put the bike in the room. IS there such a thing as a really cheap but safe and clean hotel in Tijuana? Like anything for less than $40?[/QUOTE]There are plenty of hotels in Tijuana that meet your requirement. The problem may be their location.
If you absolutely must stay in the ZN, the my friend NE's advice is sound.
If you want to stay outside, then there are a couple of worthwhile places to check on Revu. Espana and Caesar are good choices, although the lady that runs Espana has bags of attitude to spare. But they're clean, safe and meet your price point. Don't know how they handle bikes. I think Nelson dropped their prices, so that's a good bet. And their restaurant is pretty decent, and their little watering-hole bar is a good place for a quiet drink. Rooms are pretty dumpy.
The Ticuan raised their prices, or so rumor has it, so they'll be a bit outside your range. But much nicer than the average Revu hotel. Around $60, IIRC.
There's a place on 6th, IIRC, about 3 blocks east of Revu, corner, south side, glass front. Don't remember the cross street or name but somebody here probably knows. Clean, safe, decent beds, $20 / night. They'll probably lock up your bike in the back.
Also try Villa Zaragoza. 7th and Revu. It's a drive-up style motel. Should be around $40 and you could put your bike in the room. Of course, the maid may steal it!
Headed down to Tijuana again as was in SoCal anyway, this time at the weekend. Train from LA to SD, then trolley, all very easy. Trolley is under construction, but not a major inconvenience, there is a quick (ish) bus transfer, but there are 2 buses, on calling at the other stations and one express to SY.
Got there maybe 5pm or so, still light. Briefly wandered around looking for a good exchange rate and toyed with the idea of trying a different hotel. Eventually decided the reliable 230 pesos at Hotel Santa Cecilia (right by the arch) was still about the best blend, the 270pesos big hotel on Revolucion just down from the arch seemed a little far to drag chicas, based on other reports the couple of other cheaper options aren't much cheaper, and might lack such things as hot water. Plus I'm comfortable with the security and attitude here. I think if you got the slightly bigger room (330pesos, I think) there'd be no trouble taking a bike up there, assume 2 flights of stairs won't trouble you. Set out on the prowl.
1) Leandra from my last trip ([url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2223-Streetwalker-Reports&p=1032511#post1032511[/url]) , around her usual haunt on Art. 123 near Ninos Heroes. She said "how much you going to pay me then, I said "200pes, we go to my room", she wanted to stay there, so she asked for 150pes for her and 50 the room. Brief covered BJ (said she had a sore throat might be able to get BBBJ otherwise) , then went straight in through the quite well used back door. Got there a little after she'd clearly had enough. Saw her in passing later, she wanted to go again, I suggested the following morning, like 10:30, she agreed, but didn't seem to be around. Very happy with her service, she's tall, well stacked and looks pretty good, late 30s. She wanted the light off this time which I thought a shame. Good service, reasonable looking older broad.
Wandered into HK, need to buy some crappy $4 beer on the way in, but don't need to tip the guy on the door. Saw a lively shaving foam show (actually saw 3 over the evening, one was upstairs and included the girls undressing a guy and dragging him onto the stage. I'm fairly sure they'd have blown him but somehow he just wasn't responding. Younger guy in good shape, even. Also saw Elizabeth on stage as I wandered in, she'd dyed her hair black, but couldn't mistake her trademark grab of a guys head and thrusting her ample assets into his face everytime she gets a tip. So pretty often. She vanished shortly afterwards and I went in and out of HK several times looking for her overnight, was eventually told she'd be there maybe half an hour later about when I had to leave Sunday morning. Looks like she'd be really fun in the room.
2) Some nasty old toad called Jasmine, was stood on Constitucion opposite the police station, promised the earth so was hoping for good service like Leandra, but this was a fail all the way. In the room suddenly everything cost extra and she didn't smell good either. Turfed her out unfinished. Must stop agreeing to these.
3) Young cutie called Perle also stood on Constitucion. Came to my hotel having agreed 30 for all holes. 300 pesos was fine. Good attitude, took it well, nice CBJ to start, if she's around try for a BBBJ, I expect it'd be worth it. I'll look for her again if I return any time soon.
4) Another young thin cutie called Anna in the Alley, Constitucion end, HK side. Wanted 60 for being cornholed in my room, but was OK with 30 (+6) in hers. Nice room, mirror on the end that she was facing, she started out with a pretty nice BJ too. Quite liked seeing her face as I got to it, she didn't appear to be in pain or anything, still not as willing as Perle.
5) Eventually brushed off some pushy attention in Adelitas, but did buy one a drink. 3 of them teamed up on me to try to persuade me to take 2 of them for 100, mucho everything, plus 12 _each_ for the room! Then (as I was basically shattered at that stage) , I was just coming back to my hotel when some fairly low grade, older lady sort of got in my face and started on me, but also wandered her hand into my shirt pocket and relieved me of the remaining dollar bills I'd had there for tipping. Can't have been more than 3-4 of them at that stage, but I figured I wasn't going to get far yelling at her for doing it. She offered $10 in the room, so I figured I'd just skullfuck her in revenge. She did a reasonable job, I think she was high as a kite as she seemed very confused. I thought she was coughing up blood at one stage but just drool and lipstick on the tissue. Gave me a few moments of hesitation though. Basically took half my toilet roll and put it in her handbag too at the end. Perfectly adequate service all in all, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I'd actually blown all my singles in AB.
6) Next morning couldn't find Leandra, but ended up having a beer back in Adelitas. Anna Maria came over and put her moves on me, I went to the room for 50 plus 12 and predictably on the way out 2 different cum boys tried to hit me up for a tip. Service was fine, Adelitas girls seem to take their time and leave you satisfied. But why so many fake boobs in there? Nearly every lady in there has them.
Journey back uneventful, left maybe 45 mins later than I'd planned, as breakfast at Taco Bell hadn't been served with any urgency at all, and I'd been looking for either Leona again or Elizabeth in HK. All in all, while HK was quite a bit busier, I didn't really notice much different about the Saturday night than my other trips which have all been Mon / Tues. Good, because I was worried it'd be a big sausage fest in HK as some I think have posted in the past. Maybe it's the winter? Although nobody seemed to have told the weather which sat around 80 degrees daytime and wasn't really cold enough at night to merit much more than a shirt.

That's just it, once on stage, the dick no longer responds; been there, done that, in the Banana Club in Okinawa; lesson learned.
Elizabeth is one of my favorite dancers, as well as Ely. Elizabeth has so much energy on the stage and the energy does carry over to the room. She is a little bigger than the other girls, but her passion and the spirit she shows for the customers make up for the size deficit. Because of her liveliness, she does get a lot of tips and regular clients; I'm one of them.

One question:
What place of av constitucion was Perla?
Thanks
Misterroc, Very similar experience to yours. The conditional approval came in a week. I now need to schedule my interview in the next 30 days and that should pretty much do it!
Now only if I can think of any valid reasons to justify why I need a Sentri pass during the interview (I don't have work, business or family ties to Mexico) if asked about it. Any suggestion for a valid reason?
[QUOTE=Misteroc; 1115223]I applied too- a coupla weeks ago. It only took a week or less for my conditional approval to come back. I set up my in-person interview, but the earliest dates were in March.
I'm not sure I like the idea of lowering the fees, that will mean more people and that means longer lines.
A Sentri office at San Ysidro is an excellent idea, I can't figure out why they put it in Otay Mesa in the first place.
Finally, I can't figure out why they would have build that new spanning pedestrian bridge when walking over the building is already the norm. It works, why spend the money to build a new bridge? Is it because they don't want unfettered access to the building's roof for security issues? Before I knew about the over-the-building access, I used to just walk up a block from Jack in the Box to the street that goes over the freeway, then walk over that then down the stairs and along the duty free shops to the border gates.

I saw some just walk in without an appointment and one dude that was quite late for his; they did not seem to care. I would call and ask just how important the appointment time is, and once conditional approved, could you just show up for a walk-in.
As far as reasons to go down there; I had a couple of thousand of response ready. But the only question that I was asked, was if I had business in Mexico. I just replied and told the officer that I visit my friends in Tijuana 2-3 times a month. That was about it.

And they're doubling the number of pedestrian booths inside, and car lanes outside.

The trick is going to be how to do this without slowing down the crossing. I suspect they'll do most of the stuff at night making my 10 minute-from-Adelita-to-my-car trip late at night impossible.
Stayed at the Cascada Hotel the first night after reading a post by Mike123. Nice (by Mx standards) remodeled rooms for $40 US. No extra charge for girls up to my room, as I took three of them there during a 12 hour period. The last one went home at 3AM and I slept until 12 noon. Wanted to stay on another night, but the idoits that remodeled the rooms place non-access plates over the electrical outlets. No electric hookup to recharge my cell phone.
Got up, checked out, and had breakfast by 1PM. Ran into an American that lives down there and stays at the Leyva. He took me by the hotel and I previewed several rooms. I figured for $21. 50US (discounted for no TV) and they had electrical outlets, that I could at least stay one night.
I was WRONG. They friggin noise at night from people yelling, and cars parking was just too much. I did use the room to entertain another three girls. I decided to call it an early night and went to bed at 1230AM, but after an hour and half of people yelling & car noise in their interior parking lot, I finally got dressed & packed and checked out.
Cell phone fully charged, I headed back over to the Cascada, checked in a 2AM. By this time I was WIDE awake and head out over to one of the clubs until about 4AM. Went back to the hotel and sleep (QUITELY) until about noon.
I'll post more about the girls and other adventures later.

Hows the clubs at 4AM compared to the early evening say. Around 10-12?

Most likely not too well, as most clubs close at 3AM. Only street action, and most girls leave before then, at that hour. 10-3 is the best bet for night action.

I was able to re enter HK after going upstairs. Browsed around for a friend. When I didn't find him, I headed over to Adelita around 4:15am and they let me in. Maybe they are not enforcing the curfew on weekends.
I hadn't been to Tijuana in 15+ years. Until last Monday & Tue. Yes, HK & Adelita were unofficially still open after 3AM, and yes MOST of the girls were gone.
Also, don't remember the name of the two bars at the end of the street. If you go out the back of Hong Kong turn left to the end of the street. There are two bars on either corner (will someone please help the boy here with their names). Anyway. The one on the right as you are facing away from HK is open until 6AM. I know because I was talking with a HOTTIE from Hermosilla named Ashley until 430AM. Gave her my room number and she "PROMISED" to come by after work.
Also, the hotel above this bar had a nice little street gal working late afternoon & nights. Her name was Jackie / lyn. I was there two days and paid for her company three times. She was lots of fun and almost full GFE. No BBBJ Also met with Isabela & Guadalupe, both were also lots of fun. Had another gal but don't remember her name, and wish I could forget that I actually paid her for the BAD service.
I shamefully must admit, that I although I had read the FJ boards for several years, I really did not prepare myself for this Tijuana trip. Hell, I had even copied MIKE123 reports (all the way back thru 2007) into a word document. I was going to use his great reports as a sort of landmark & girl guide.
How did that work. It didn't. As I had my head up my ass and left CA without it. Oh well, I did stay at the Hotel Cascada in their newly rentivated rooms. I even noticed those Kama Sutra painting on the walls. Oh well, Mike123 thanks for the great reports just the same. To bad I probably won't get to use them for another 15 years.
At the end of 40 hours, I had 6 encounters, and all but 1 was lots of fun. Also, I crossed coming & going at Otay Mesa POE. The cab ride in each direction was $10.00US, and the wait at the border upon my return.... well with 8 people ahead of me, there really wasn't a wait. I crossed back over at about 330PM on Wed.

So I'm planning a trip to Tijuana at the end of the month. It will be my first. So I've read over the posts fairly well and there's none that really compile the information. The prices are all over the place and the break down of each place is with less detail I was hoping for. I've went to San Jose, CR many times and I guess I'm just an idiot but I didn't realize Tijuana was so close to the US. Anyway I would really love a break down of hotels, descriptions and pricing. Bars, Mps, and strip joint. Description and pricing. If anyone has been to San Jose would love to hear the differences. I thought at first Tijuana was cheaper when reading posts but then when I read more in depth I realized that generally prices are negotiated for 30 min not an hour. Plus unless it's an MP I want to go back to my hotel, which I'm hoping I can find a fairly nice comfortable one. I'm going to stay for around 4 days, probably check out the beach and a few other things. I'm going down with a friend of mine who lives around Los Angeles which is where I'll fly in. Oh also info on this train to trolley I hear about from Los Angeles. Website links would be great. Also a heads up for any laws that I should be careful of breaking would be cool. In general I'm a late night wanderer which I know isn't the safest thing but I like to find the really gritty local clubs.
Also I've been to a lot of places around the world and no matter how cheap the girls are I still like trying to pick up girls that aren't working, is this as easy in Tijuana as other places around the world or because of its close vacinity to the US does it not really work as well. I call it the Justin Timberlake effect, because in most countries they think the average American makes 500k it turns me into Justin Timberlake which certainly helps my confidence. Ha ha well can't wait until I'm down there and able to post about the mayhem. Oh also will cell phone get international charges there? If I could answer my cell phone I might not come back, that's all I need for business!
