[QUOTE=Hermano1; 1481167]Is there any action outside the Zona Norte.

Is there a place where semi-pros, or normal girls who want to test the waters hang-in and go out. Any bars, clubs like that.

I have been to other latino countries, Costa Rica, Columbia, DR, Cuba to name a few, and found latina's to be open minded and it was not considered impolite if we ask someone whether she is interested in coming with us for fun. Sure there are girls who would not like to be asked this way, and when that happens, I apologize and leave. No harm done.

There are places on earth, where asking a chica like that will put you in big trouble.

Where does Mexican culture stand. Say I goto the pharmacy, and see a chica working there. Can I ask her whether she has boy friend, when she would finish work and whether she would be interested to meet me in the hotel. Would you senior bros recommend making attempts like this in Tijuana.[/QUOTE]First question, do you speak fluent Spanish? Mexican culture is still pretty conservative. Walking up to the pharmacy girl and saying "Do you want to meet me at my hotel" is tantamount to saying "Hey babe, want to fuck?" Good luck with that. Tell us how it goes. If she's a "good" girl it's going to take more than that. Unless, of course, you look like Aron Diaz. Then all bets are off!

As Hugo said, there is a ton of nightlife outside the zona. If you want to try your luck picking up a chica in one of the bars, you have a wealth of choices, depending on your age. Las Pulgas is a good idea for all ages. Circo is good for very young people. La Estrella is good for slightly older. You'll probably want a wingman. No guarantees.

Now, semi-pro is a lot easier to find, and is my personal preference. You'll find many on Craigslist. I've picked up some working as "touts" or sitting in a small bar. Most will hang out with you, drink or dance, whatever, accompany you to your room, all for a few bux. They're not hookers, but they do appreciate some extra income. Even many the "pros" on CL, after a few appointments so they know you, will be happy to go out on occasion for a very reasonable amount of money. You'll have more fun than sitting in Adelitas all night, and you'll spend far less.

I did a quick run to Tijuana Tuesday. The zona was very slow, many SGs MIA. I did see one Fav. And she was surprised and HAPPY to see me ($$$). She said no chicos. No business. (except ME!) Peso at 13. 00 at McDonalds at La linea. CBPs who were there were doing the "SLOW AND GO". Even in the building at 9:00pm it took 45 minutes! It's like the ones who were working (during the shutdown) were doing an intended "protest". That really sucks. This Filipino CBP agent with an attitude asked what I was doing in Mexico. I said Dinner and Sex with my girlfriend!

[QUOTE=Escort4Us; 1481682]You expect to wake up as the next Rush Limbaugh the next day?

I'd say you should re-evaluate your decision making. That's nasty stuff to use incorrectly.

You could start a heroin habit an avoid the lines at the pharmacy.[/QUOTE]I didn't plan on snorting it. Just swallow it. If this stuff is so bad, how is it still legal.

[QUOTE=ItsMeBeyatch;1481664]Will be in the zona this weekend. I will be going to the tequila festival. Anyone want to grab a beer or shots of tequila . Private message me.[/QUOTE]I'll be down for the Tequila. Send you a PM.

[QUOTE=HelpRules;1481990]I didn't plan on snorting it. Just swallow it. If this stuff is so bad, how is it still legal.[/QUOTE]It's not "bad." It does what it's supposed to do. It's an opioid, sometimes called synthetic heroin, although that's not 100% accurate. It's also somewhat stronger than heroin.

It's a painkiller. If you have a family history of drug or alcohol addiction it's probably a very bad idea to take this stuff recreationally. If not, a couple of pills isn't going to kill you. If you've taken other oral opioids, like Vicodin, the feeling is going to be much the same, perhaps a bit stronger. IIRC, Oxy is made in a timed-release fashion so it lasts longer in your system. That's probably why most serious addicts like to smoke it. It's more of a strong immediate hit.

Personally, I don't like the dopey feeling I get with this sort of thing, unless I'm in a lot of pain. If you do, don't let us stop you. Good luck.

[QUOTE=HelpRules;1481990]I didn't plan on snorting it. Just swallow it. If this stuff is so bad, how is it still legal.[/QUOTE]Really dude?

Maybe that's why it's a Schedule II drug and not OTC.

Have fun man, you sound like the kinda guy that should make sure their Will is in order.

i've been lazy and remiss in my reporting.

3 weeks ago i set up an afternoon rendezvous with rocky, the flying squirrel. i parked at otay and hoofed it across (which isn't bad) and then up to bellas artes (which is a bit of a hike on a hot day). call me cheap but i have a philosophical problem paying $10 for a very short cab ride to her place.

i walked to our meeting place, we bought a few skyys and cervezas, and then retired to our favorite no-tel. we ordered a light lunch and, i must say, i've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food at these establishments. you're a captive audience so they could give you any crap they wanted to, but it's always been good. ok, the guacamole needed a bit of salt, but i'm quibbling. &61514;

then we sat around and swilled our drinks and proceeded to get a nice buzz going. as usual, i was on the receiving end of a long, rapid-fire spanish lesson. i'm getting better at keeping up, but often get blown into the weeds.

after a while we proceeded to get more comfortable. we put on some music and started to get down to business. pretty normal so far, right? before things went too far we adjourned to the shower to clean up a bit before the main event.

back in bed things started out normally but then something changed. rocky got more and more passionate and affectionate as we progressed. lots of dfk, rubbing her pussy on my thigh, sighs and moans. next thing i know she flipped onto her back and pulled me on top of her and inside of her. condom? fuggedaboudit. ohh, que rico!

carnal relations with her had always been pretty good, but now she was taking it to the next level. i was merely a passenger, along for the ride, at this point.

we eventually finished and collapsed in a heap. after some recuperation we looked at the clock and then zipped into the shower. it's amazing how quickly four hours can go by when you're having fun.

i held out a few hundred pesos for emergency funds and gave her the rest, probably about 1, 200. then we walked out.

traffic was going to be a be*tch heading north, so we retired to the pool hall for a few games and a few beers. hoo, boy. i was just going to hang out for an hour, or so, until traffic calmed down. but we all know about the best laid plans, etc, etc.

we got a table and a couple of cues. then rocky starts ordering a steady stream of cervezas. i put some music on the jukebox and we played and drank. and played. and drank. next think i know, another four hours have passed. shit. i should go. ok, one more. another hour passes. damn. luckily i'the held back enough to cover the tab. i settled it. in the meantime, rocky's all over me like a cheap suit. what's not to like?

outside the cabbie wants more to take her home, and me to the border, than i have. i scraped through my pockets and came up with just barely enough, after a bit of negotiation. i got dropped off at the border around 10-ish, no line, cbp agent wanted to know what i was doing in mexico. dunno, dude. i just woke up in the street.

traffic was light on the way home, i will say that. since then, ms. r's messages have become a lot more affectionate. i think she's in love.

Wendsday morning I carpooled down to Tijuana with a few of the fellas this was going to be a rare overnight trip as far as the carpool thing goes. After last year we decided the Tequila festival should require an overnight trip so nobody has to drive after all those samples.

I have not done a regular mongering trip to Tijuana in quite a while due to the regular GF thing. As some have mentioned on here thoe secret missions to Zona Norte are hard to keep secret, there are alot of eyes in the Zona and you never know who will rat you out. And with my buddy Artisttyp in town it was worth the risk just to be able to hang with him for awhile.

I met up with Artisttyp shortly after arriving and we met up at one of his favorite restraunts and had a nice lunch. By the way if anybody on here needs food recomdations hit up Art or Phordphan they got the Tijuana food scene wired.

Next we headed to the Zona my plan was to get a room at Cascadas and use the coupon I had. It required getting a bucket of beer at LC bar and then they would give you your room for half price. It is a great deal if you are a beer drinker. Good thing I had Art with me to help me finish the bucket. Of course using a coupon in Tijuana always seems to be a hassle nobody seems to understand how a coupon works. But anyway after standing around the desk at Cascadas for about 20 minutes they figured it out and sit me up with a nice room on the 6th floor for 25 instead of 50.

It dosent take much to get me buzzed and I don't remember how the time got away so quick. I do remember ending up in La Gloria bar doing some slow dances and then we noticed it was going on 8 and were supposed to be going to the Tequila festival so we headed over there. We met up with the other fellas who all seemed to be pretty loaded, amazing what numerous samples can do to someone. It probably helped that due to the rain there were not alot of people there and each booth was more than happy to see someone show up for samples, they were very generous. I'm not big on Tequila but I was able to drink some of the flavored samples that tasted pretty good. I do remember getting a sandwich at this Argentinian booth that was out of this world be sure and look for it if you go the festival this year.

Eventually we found are way back to the Zona and hung out for awhile in different bars. They were passing out free drink cards at the festival for a free beer at HK and I do remember using them and getting some pretty generous touching for a 1 dollar bill in HK. Again details get a little fuzzy Art headed to the room and I wandered around until 4:30 in the morning. Amazingly no encounters with the monkees or the Rateros. Pickings got pretty slim as far as SG's go but I did settle on a nice slow long BJ with Cecila who stands between Valentina's and Cascada.

Before I knew it it was 8 a. M. And I couldn't sleep. Staying overnight in the Zona reminds me so much of when I'm in Vegas. No matter how tired you are you can't sleep because you are afraid you are missing something. So I headed down looking for a good morning SG. It was very slim pickings, as I was walking around I decided to stick my head in La Malquerida Bar. This place has a reputation for an off duty Zona workers hangout. So I walked in just to have a look and I see some girl upstairs waving, I turned around to see who she was waving at, and there was nobody behind me, but I continued to ignore her because I didn't have any idea who it was. She did send a masero down and he said are you Hugo and I said yea and he said your friend wants you upstairs. So I go up and there are 2 girls and a big bucket of beers there, she gives me a big hug. And I don't have a clue who she is. These girls are always changing there look and besides I'm missing that gene that allows you to remember faces. Anyway I soon figured out she was a girl I had been working on as a back up plan awhile ago, just in case the GF left me heartbroken one day. She had been gone for months and wow it was good to see her back. So anyways now its 8:30 in the morning and for the next 3 hours I sat there getting drunk with them and having the time of my life. Who gets drunk at 9 in the morning. You have got to love Tijuana. Now I probably should have offered up some money and brought them both back to the room, but I have figured out it is easy enough to find sex in the Zona and sometimes it is better to keep sex out of it and establish a relationship that will pay dividends in the long run.

So I did leave the bar around noon and found a SG who provided great service for the 200pesos and got one more session in before checkout. The few times I have used SG's in the last year have been awful. So everything this trip worked out great and I had a wonderful time in Tijuana.

Great trip reports Phordphan and Hugotheman!

It is always good to hear others perspective on Tijuana, inside the Zona Norte and outside as well.

Thank you both!

I see there is a web site for checking historical border cross wait times. My question is, is there any way to check the real current wait times from the zona before heading back to the border.

Here is my worry. I want to maximize my time in the zona and also do not want to miss my flight out of San Diego. If I anticipate 4hour delays and come to the border, and I happen to pass within 30 minutes then I will endup being a dump idiot wasting time in the airport, and I would rather be having fun in the zona. On the otherhand if I stay too late then will miss the flight.

What is the best way to check the backlog from the zona. Do I have to come to the border and then go back or can I check from some place in the zona itself.

I've got a Google app that gives me real time pedestrian and auto border wait times. Just look for it in on iTunes or the Google apps store.

[QUOTE=MikeyMae;1483726]I've got a Google app that gives me real time pedestrian and auto border wait times. Just look for it in on iTunes or the Google apps store.[/QUOTE]Thanks Mikey,

I think someone posted the best place to park on the US side. Can someone help me which one is good. A parking lot that is closer to the border, with less walk. Borderstation parking seem to be about 0.75mile, is there anything closer than that.

This past Sat and Sun. Saw a lot of police trucks arresting mostly locals. Saw a gringo arguing with a cop as he was stopped walking across Prago restaurant to the other side. There were truckloads of people in the back. There were many times the cops would slow down look my way then move one. I'm sure they thought about hassling me.

Saturday night I walked by three cops patting down a local Street urchin, the female cop watching their back smiled at me as I passed, and I didn't even offer to buy her a ficha. Go figure.
