1st time in Tijuana and HK
First I want to thank all the bros for the advice and intel they provided me with the last few days after making my initial posting informing them that I was considering visiting Tijuana for the first time this weekend. I got my nerve up a bit after reading all the advice and intel and decided that I would make a short trip Saturday afternoon. Not going to lie but as a noob I am all but sure I looked way out of place and was more than likely taken advantage monetarily by the most of the workers, both men and women. I didn't have room reservations nor did I plan on stay too late as I did go solo and when I haven't been in an area before I like to get a feel for it before I throw myself in. I crossed using the pedeast walkway as recommended and before even entering was sold / told I needed the 6 month visa with of course cost me $30. After crossing I found the taxi stand and asked them to take me to Hotel Cascadas to which the driver told me that Club HK was closed and if I was aware of that. Through the intel provided here I told him I was aware but that was going to the Hotel for a room only. After he dropped me off I he did ask / tell me it was a $6 fee and again after the intel provided I was prepared to pay $5 so I just gave him that and he let me out. I walked up to the reception desk and they asked if I had a reservation and after telling them "no" tried to get me one and also tried to sell me a VIP card to which I of course said "no" again. After than they escorted me to the 7th floor and a "mesero" walked me around till we found a table and a young lady I wanted to speak to. He then brought us a few drinks to the tune of $13; $5 for my beer and $8 for whatever it was that the young lady chose. After some small talk and touch feely again as recommended I decided to get to know this young lady better. They charged me $19 for a ST reservation to which hey kept the additional $1 for a "tip". When we arrived at the location another gentleman worker came and gave us some additional coverings and again asked for a tip another $1. Lastly and most importantly I got to know the young lady who if I can remember correctly told me she goes by "Erica" she is stunning with great features and said she is originally from Caborca, Sonora. The time was well spent and although all in all it was a bit more than I expected to spend for such a short trip I was good for a 1st time at Cascadas, HK and Tijuana. I most definitely want to go back very soon.
