Young Punter: Separating your memory card from your camera might not be good enough. If you do get stopped, they will turn everyone of your pockets inside out, and seeing a separate memory card will be a red flag.
Be smart; be careful, and have a good time.

In regards to safety issues, some had thought I would be driving across. I am actually walking across and and spending the time walking in/around zone norte including allies. I received some great private messages. But if anyone else wants to add their opinion, I'd greatly appreciate it. Again, I'm in my mid 20s and will be alone. I'll be there this Tuesday from 11am till 4pm. Depending on how things go, I may stay overnight, but I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet.[/QUOTE]
Walking across is best option. Car can get you in too much trouble and is a hassle with parking, ect. Other than that you don't have to be THAT paranoid man- it ain't North Korea! My advice would be to just go and have fun. Add more time to your stay when you feel more comfortable. I was so intimidated ny my visit to Kenya that I KNOW I didn't have as much fun as I could have.
On that note save some of that TJ money for a real monger spot like Thailand.
I agree, you don't have to be that paranoid, but the reason you shouldn't be paranoid is because you are clean, and if you do get stopped, they'll have nothing on you.
I agree, also, about Thailand, except that the baht is down to about 33 per dollar.
There are plenty of pics of the Zona and of the girls. I would suggest leaving the bling at home and getting your feet wet there before doing anything ambitious like snapping pictures.
Realize that there are other mongers in the Zona and some might not appreciate being photographed. This is a private hobby and the notion that your pic could end up on a popular website could be disturbing to some if they see someone snapping pics.
Remember that the many of the girls have their handlers or "padrotes" looking on as the girls work. If they see you getting snappy, they might want the camera. When you are not looking, you might lose the camera.
No, don't be paranoid. Everyone knows why you are there. Just go with the flow, get laid by a pretty latina or three, get back and do your trip report. Read the board, espcially Brockton O'Tooles guide.
Be safe and be nice

Go there, become familiar with the place, enjoy the stay. Don't try to play games with the cops - they outnumber you and they will win if it gets shitty. Don't even go there.
As a tourist, visiting TJ coming from San Diego the situation is a bit different from what I can read in the threat.
It's very easy to go there. Just take the Trolley "Blue line" from Downtown San Diego direction San Ysidro. It will cost $ 4.50 for the two ways. Take a seat in this train and try to relax, since it takes about 45 min from there. The people in the train will come and go and at the end, there are mostly spanish speaking folks in there. It's a special entertainment by itself. I enjoyed it several times.
Arriving at the border just follow the crowd the long way over the bridge to cross the freeway into Mexico. You will first see some american perhaps some mexican officials, but no one will ask you something. I took the door to Mexico in the East. From there it was like 500 m to reach the bus to "Centro". They charged me Pesos 3.50 and 10 min later I stood on the Av. Revoluccion.
From there it's just 2 min to walk to RLD - I am sure, everyone will find it easyly.
It's a everyday discussion, but IMHO I don't estimate the mexican women in general as beautiful. I entered "Hong Kong", "Chicago" and "Adelitas" an - hey - they girls show very sexy dancing, but the closer you get the more you will be disappointed (sorry, I don't want to hurt anyone, it's just my opinion). Looking in the corner, many girls hang arround in a sad mood.
At the end I walked arround the blocks, where I found like 100 SW. Here, I saw the more beautiful ones (again, IMHO), some dull, others in a good mood. I went to the room with 3 of them and was only happy with one girl. Here name was N....(sorry, for the moment I don't remember her name, if so I will tell you later) She had a open smile from the first minute to the last, she showed emotion and was the only girl I met that really was in to sex. I paid $20 for her (about 20 min, but she never took the watch to have the time) plus $5 for the shabby room. If you meet her, be nice to her so she will be for you and will give you a lot of pleasure.
Going back I took a cab, cots $5 or 50 Pesos (most people just take 1:10 even that it is 1:11, they are mostly nice folks, no bankers). At the border you pass 3 or 4 mexican officials (again no question, no hassle even that i have been a !lonely man") to be at the american controll like 100 m later. Again very easy, you show your passport. That's it.
Conclusion: TJ is a good option being in San Diego: different country with a special atmosphere, cheap girls - but: nothing to compare with what you could get in Europe (Prague, Germany, Spain ..) for comparable prices.
But is was fun anyway (I have some pictures from "my girls", but I won't make them public. Country John is right!
Nice TR Labadi. There are some gems in the alley, that's for sure. I had a few favs there who always gave good service. Repeating with your fav is the key to good service and then better service later on. Your observations are on the money.
Latinas are not everyone's cup of tea, especially guys with mongering time overseas it seems.
But they sure are MY cup of tea. Oh yeah.

Hi, I have no trip report to share about the mechanical sex available in Tijuana, but I notice that some people on here seem to lump the Mexican women available in TJ with ALL Latinas.
With all due respect, please stop this. "Latinas" are a very diverse group of women from all over Mexico, Central America, and South America, not to mention certain parts of Europe even. Lumping the women of Tijuana and Mexico with the women of Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, etc, is a complete insult! Just to put it into perspective, it would be like saying since a Chevy Camaro is a sports car, it's in the same league as a Ferrari!
Hell, even the country I'm in now, Ecuador, the women here beat the Mexican women by light years, and this country isn't even in the top tier for Latinas.
Please don't make the guys on this web site think that all Latinas are like the girls available in Tijuana and Mexico. That's just blatently false. Anyways, I think most guys on here love Latinas. It's Mexicanas we (myself and others who complain about TJ) dislike!
Thank you for letting me rant.

Who is this 'we' you speak of?
I hear the protest but I respectfully disagree. My Maya Mexicana is Latina from the tips of her negra toes to the very top of her Raven Black hairy head. It's what makes her special.
Certainly other women of the world can claim the moniker, and they might be rightfully entitled to do so. But that doesn't dis-entitle the Mexicanas of Tijuana, not one bit (in my opinion).
There is a lot to appreciate in these girls. You need to be patient. You need to want to see it and you need to be able to recognize it when you do. In the fleeting pay for play world of the Zona, it's easy to overlook all that. Why be concerned at all since you're there for a $20 to $60 fuck and a few beers.
I've had long discussions with my girley about the term "latina." She is one. For sure. And I like it.

While in SD on business, I made it down to TJ on Sun night and Thurs night. I visited everything from AD/CC/HK to Revolution to massage. Here are some random observations:
1. Clubs on Revolution are really dead, even on Sun night. Several clubs (including Eclipse and Pussycats) had no customers and 2-3 women. Believe or not, these places ended up being the best option for me. I had total negotiating power and there was 1 decent girl at each place. It was truly amazing how much power I had. When I would try to leave one of these places, some of the girls and bartenders would make offers for me to stay (free shots of tequila, half price full service, etc). I ended up with a nice looking girl from Pussycats for $40 (sex and BBBJCIM) in the table dance room on Sun night.
2. Bartenders rip you off on Revolution. They always try to switch your $10 for a $1 when you try to pay for a drink. When one guy did this to me at Pussycats on Thurs night, I told him I saw the switch and to give me my $20 back (yes $20, not $10). He said, no it was $10. I wanted to scare him a little, so I threatened getting the Police and he either got scare or confused (maybe he thought I really did give him a $20) and gave me a $20. So now I'm up $10. Then, I walked out leaving the beer sitting there because of the untrustworthy bartender and the women were not that great. So the scamming bartender now is down $10 and has an open beer that I didn't pay for. If more people messed with these guys, they wouldn't try to pull that crap all the time.
3. AD had hot women, but all seemed cold. I didn't even try. I will say those were the best damn Mexican women I've ever seen.
4. Some clubs on Revolution have TV's (not the kind you watch).
5. Massage places want $40 just to get the girls alone to negotiate for sex. I didn't want to take the chance. Also, the aggressive guys on Revolution try to get you to visit and then demand a tip. If I stay, sure, but don't beg me to go with false promises of 40 beautiful women, waste my time, then ask for a tip.
6. Mexican food is great. I've eating at probably 50 Mexican taco stands and have had nothing but great tacos (never gotten sick).

Ezinho, with due respect, I think to lump all "Mexicans" into one category (mechanical SG) is a bit unfair. Yes, there are a lot of mechanical SGs in Mexico and TJ, but there are also some really great bar girls, semi-pros (TLN girls) and civillians that will give you a run for your money (or maybe even for free if you are good!) A lot of us guys on this board - and I admit that I am one of them - think that Mexican women are the most beautiful, sexiest creatures alive. Others may disagree, and of course that is their right. Women from Asia and Soth/Central America are hot as well, but once you develop a taste for Mexican women, nobody can ever talk you out of it. Most of us are hooked!

Good point and why the hell haven't we had dinner since last year Bluenose?
If you consider that many of the girls view what they do as "sex without Love," then that should answer the question "Why does she stare at the ceiling when I'm fucking her?"
These girls don't love you, they don't like you and they could probably care less about you. so the "mechanical" aspect of what they do is manifested in those who do not have good customer service skills.
My girley is most passionate and anything but mechanical. She's like a different girl every night.
Many of my SG regulars gave great service and were anything but mechanical. I have had several that were but that never spoiled the fun.
Latinas are fabulous creatures. Learn to enjoy them, hook up with one that you can develop into a regular and you'll be very surprised just how delicious they can be.
There ARE mechanical chicas out there. Don;t worry, you'll recognize them when you get them in the sack.
