General Reports

[QUOTE=Hargow20;2016069]Does anyone happen to know if there is a Taxi van that goes to the Zona from the border. ?[/QUOTE]Yes, they are 10 pesos and you can find one up by the yellow cabs on the street or look left from that smokey BBQ place after passing all the taxistas soliciting for $5 or 9 x the cost of a bus or van. The blue ones are nice but lack leg room if you are tall. Some go across the new bridge that will drop you a block from the Arch by Nelson Hotel.

Returning from Tijuana catch them on 2nd street just East of Constitution. They drop you back at the border but you have to walk back over the freeway bridge to Ped East or meander around to the new Ped West whichever you choose.

Apparently the new aircon bus will go from a new waiting stations just South of Ped East, to a main station on Coahuila just North of the Arch before it goes out East. But Ped East will be closed soon. It should pick up near Ped West.

When is it going to run? What hours does it operate?

[QUOTE=NingunoEspecial;2016043]Getting reports water has been off again in parts of Tijuana and Rosarito. Also some cuts to repaired or new pipeline scheduled in early April maybe around the 5th to 7th. Was in Centro yesterday plenty of water. It's a crap shoot of course just like finding soap, paper and water in any public restroom outside some of the more popular clubs.[/QUOTE]I was just in Rosarito 2 days ago water was running well and didn't hear or see any signage about a new pipeline coming down there.

I know I can come back to the States, but not sure of the reverse direction.

It's on the street in front of the plaza where many of the pharmacies are. To get to PedWest, you walk about 2/3 of the way across the plaza, to get to PedEast, you walk up the bridge that crosses the main highway that leads to the San Ysidro automobile crossing back to the U.S.

[QUOTE=EBoardbuilder;2016237]I was just in Rosarito 2 days ago water was running well and didn't hear or see any signage about a new pipeline coming down there.[/QUOTE]As Ninguno has reported, the outage will occur at midnight on 4 April (0:00 hours 5 April) and will last until the early hours of 7 April. It has been widely reported in local news sources from the state water authorities. The news outlets are reporting that CESPT will be doing repairs on the main water line. This will effect all areas of Tijuana, Rosarito, and Ensenada. These three municipalities share the same main water line. This is the same line they worked on last fall. Water was out in my Colonia in Tijuana for 5 days that time. Be prepared.

It would be wise to resist the temptation for DATYs during that week.

Don't know the hours but some do run to parts South of the Arch in the afternoons. Never tried one and likely won't in near future.

[QUOTE=Tinny2000;2016389]I know I can come back to the States, but not sure of the reverse direction.[/QUOTE]As far as I know the answer is no you cannot enter Mexico using Ped West.

Walked in Tuesday about 1 pm. Counted 8 CHP agents lined up, 3 on the left 5 on the right. No sniffing pooch this time. WTF? They looked bored and were shooting the usual peer2 peer BS.

So now they are so overstaffed that they line up to randomly search people LEAVING the USA? I know, they are supposed to be looking for upwards of $10 K cash going into MX but other than that I see no justification for it. Even if they have a sudden Most Wanted alert would think that would be mostly handled by local police on THIS side of the border.

Someone set me straight, otherwise I'll just chill and bear it like we do most of the recent DHS BS.

And we had US. Marines assisting CBP stopping American fugitives from leaving the USA into Tijuana. I think that they were looking for a particular person of interest.

Usually with a dog who greets you with a few sniffs. The this last time was way different. If it keeps up it is part of the new "administration" reallocation of priorities and tax dollars. Similar to what the federalies do in Mexico, cruising around flaunting their weapons to show the people they are standing up to the cartels. The locals all know the score. All for show.

I planned a trip to Tijuana from April 13-16th. I didn't know about how big of a deal Semana Santa was for Mexico.

Can anyone tell me how this holiday affects the nightlife in Tijuana? Specifically I'm talking about the clubs (Hong Kong) and general prostitution scene.

Are there more people around since it's the holidays? Or are there no girls working because they are traveling? I hope my trip isn't a waste because of the timing.

Easter week has little effect on working people in La Zona, including the girls in HK and on the streets.

The heavy year end holidays, between Christmas and mid January, have a lot of girls taking a long vacation to be home with their families, but the partying scenes in the clubs and on the streets are still lively with plenty of girls and mongers.

Younger single girls, without children and family ties, tend to work right through religious holidays.

Hello all,

I'm heading to Tijuana today at 10 pm and was curious if anyone could tell me where I could by some legit ED Drugs. I've gone to the pharmacy as soon as you exit the building next to the taxis. However, the Cialis was a dud. Want to pick some up today but was hoping someone could point me to a legit pharmacy.

Thank you.
