A visit after a long break. Part 1
It's been a couple of years since I've been to Tijuana so here are some changes I noticed on a recent visit that might help returnees and newbies.
Crossing the border: lots of construction on both sides. I parked behind the Jack in the Box as I usually do and the price was about the same ($8, I think). The walk to the border crossing was pretty much the same except for a group of US border guards just before the turnstiles that included a drug-sniffing dog. Only one of the 2 turnstiles was operational.
Now on the Mexican side there is a really border crossing with booths where they check credentials. I did not have to get a visa. I was asked where I was going (a bar) and if I was coming back that night (yes) and he handed me back my passport card. There was a long line to have bags x-rayed but I followed some people going down the left side and bypassed the machine because I didn't have a bag.
After I left the building I didn't descend down to the old pathway but stayed up on the higher level and walked parallel to the road but up to the east of it. At the end I came to a road full of cars and taxis. Crossing the street I saw the poster listing destinations and.
Prices for taxis like the one that used to be by the Macdonalds way on the other side of tcar entrance. It was typically disorganized with some people lining up and getting into taxis as they approached. However, a taxi driver one lane over waved to me and I jumped into the front seat of his cab (a Libre) and was on my way.
Note this was the old eastern pedestrian entry. The new western entry will open in a week.
The driver used different roads than I was used to and approached Calle Coahuila from the north instead of the south. I paid $5 US because I was too lazy to change money. I never ask or bargain, just give the drivers the money like I know what I am doing and they never question it. Not that I would ever tip over $5 since that is a good propina already.
On the return I asked for linea sentri as I have in the past and added I wanted the old border (vieja frontera). I was left off near where I got the taxi when I arrived. It is really hard to know how to proceed from there but I looked where others were walking. There are two small, not well lit signs indicating the new (el chaparral) and old pedestrian crossings. Just past the sign for the old crossing is a small entryway that I would have missed if I didn't see someone go down it. Finally a ways down the lane I see the stores on the right and road on the left that I was used to.
I crossed a little after midnight and there were 2 booths working to enter the US. There were about 3 people in the general line and I was alone in sentri. Unfortunately there was a family of 3 having their bags checked at one booth and someone showing lots of papers at the other so I had to wait several minutes before my brief interview and I was on my way.
A visit after a long break. Part 2
Review continued on the action in zona norte.
I was there on a Thursday night during Comicon. Many of the chicas were wearing superhero costumes in Adelita which was a bad thing as they covered up a lot of midriffs and poorly shaped bodies.
Adelita Bar: the back bar has moved further back. There were fewer attractive women, especially the plastic barbies who look good but tend to give poor service.
Tropical Bar: they had a door charge so I didn't go in as I never see anyone of interest there.
Chicago Club: There were a few more women than what I remembered but still very few men so it was pretty dead. I bought a drink for a woman there who was all over me, much more aggressive than usual for that bar. She had the biggest ass implants I have ever felt. The a / see wasn't working well so I didn't last long there.
Hong Kong: the private dance booths on the second floor were gone and there were a few other small changes. Similar action and numbers of women as in the past. A door charge of $5 to get in. Note: if you don't like the beer they give you, you can exchange it at the bar for no charge (or tip). Still by far the most active location by a long shot. I went upstairs with a chica from Guadalajara whose name I never understood. $80 and I didn't bargain. $18 for the room and $1 for a robe. Typical excessive prices but if I only go once a year I'm not going to quibble. She said she had only been there 2 weeks and did seem somewhat new to the game. She was not in a rush which I appreciated. There was only cold water in the shower which only I used (she did a sink wash).
Street girls: the number seemed a bit low for a nice, summer night but not that different from what I remembered.
In OC wanting to visit Tijuana
Sorry, but I'm new to this forum and don't mean to bother: I was looking for an all-inclusive resort that provides escort in Mexico (preferably Tijuana). Similar to the Dominican Republic all inclusive sex tourist resorts. Let me know if there are any, and which you would recommend.
Also, I'm in Orange County and didn't know if anyone would consider carpooling to Tijuana. If so, let me know. Thanks!
Club girls and reasonably priced BBJ"s
I was wondering if there if anyone kows of any rasonably priced girls that are willing to do BBJ's. ? It's probably a long shot, but I can't see paying $50 of $80 for a bbj. Until recently I have been finding some great US girls. Most of them have left ot been deported.
