General Reports

[QUOTE=JohnCandy;2080872]Thanks for all of the intel here on the Tijuana scene. Extremely valuable! I didn't really know where to put this post. I decided on the "General" thread because several topics are discussed...

...Fly into San Diego on a Wednesday around noon and get an Uber to San Ysidro. Exchange US dollars for Pesos (it seems to be much better to pay in Pesos? I think this goes without saying, but I'm sure on my return trip I will be able to exchange any leftover Pesos I have for US dollars? Walk across the border at Ped East. I'm currently getting a Passport Card to avoid a stamp in my Passport Book. This should be all I need to get into and out of Mexico, correct? Should be walking across the border by 2 pm or before.

First stop once I cross will be a pharmacy on the Freedom Path? A note on ED drugs. I have never used them, but am thinking of trying them out? Typically, I can do 2-3 pops a day which is a chore with the SO, but easier with strange pussy.[/QUOTE]Get pesos. Easy to turn leftover pesos into dollars at the end of your trip near the border-on either side of the border.

Passport card is a good choice.

Piri Pharmacy is on the Freedom path across from the Tijuana Wax Museum. Try 1/2 or 1/4 of a pill for your first time to test your personal reaction.

For someone with an intention of doing both street girls and escorts in your hotel room, there is no better choice than HDS that I am aware of. But know that not all escorts agencies will send their escorts to HDS and not all street girls will go to HDS-especially with someone unknown to them. A reservation at HDS is recommended-can't do it online. Their phone number in Mexico is +52 664 xxxx646. They have single rooms and double rooms, some with kitchenettes. Cascades would be better for taking street girls to your room, but fewer escort agencies will send their escorts to Cascades because it is smack dab in the middle of La Zona (as opposed to HDS which resides on the North and East perimeter of LA Zona).

PhordPhan is correct about there being a lot of muggings within one block of HDS. A buddy of mine who lives in HDS just last month was mugged for the second time, this time in front of the Hotel Ceasar (not the famous one) half a block away. So be extra aware when you walk near HDS.

Don't worry about limited Spanish skills. Not many street girls possess even basic English skills, so requiring them might be super limiting and unnecessary. Are you going there looking for your next wife or next fuck? Sex for money is well understood in La Zona between people who speak different languages.

[QUOTE=Phordphan;2081267]You are correct. My point, however, was that this is OP's first time and, from his post, he indicates one or two SGs. The $10 savings per session may not be worth the effort of changing dollars and then changing pesos (at a seriously disadvantageous rate) before leaving for home. I always advocate the usage of native currency wherever one travels. But in this case I'm not sure the benefits outweigh the costs. Of course, only the OP can be the judge of that.[/QUOTE]When I was there 2 weeks ago, first time for me, I changed currency and discovered that the biggest benefit was with SG, but was able to do it with HK as well. I do agree that if you're picking up 1 or 2, then it's a couple extra HK girl drinks saving. As for leaving with currency, by the time you're in the US, you should not have a lot of pesos left anyway. LOL.

I do have a question regarding how the SG structured their pricing. I found that they want 300 P for 20 minutes and 500 P for 30 minutes. Is this normal pricing? Or is this negotiable? Didn't try but how opened are the SG if you want to add time after? I.E. Same structure?

Thanks for the responses Phordphan & M2041.it's much appreciated! Lots of clarifications there. As I stated before, after reading about a year back of the threads, all the info starts to run together and it seems there is a lot of contradicting info to make matters worse. I think I saw somewhere the HdeS was a good place in the Zona. But per your advice, I think I will try a night at Cascadas (which I think will work well for BGs and SGs) and a night at either Caesars or Espana. Hopefully one of the latter two will be escort friendly.

I was thinking similarly on the ED drugs so this confirms I will not be trying them on this trip. Also, I will bring both my enhanced DL and Passport but will present only my enhanced DL at the border. Hopefully that's all they will ask for. If they ask for passport, I will have it. Hopefully as other have stated, they will not, and I can avoid the stamp. Thanks for the intel on phone service.

JC.

I only go to Tijuana for a few hours at a time and I always change money. The only time I use Dollars is inside of Hong Kong and Adelitas.

[QUOTE=WombatEd2;2081342]Acronyms are fantastic, so long as you can safely assume that everyone you're talking to knows what they stand for.[/QUOTE]John Candy and I were commenting on Hacienda de Santiago.

HDS is a 5-story, 48-room hotel located in La Zona on the NorthWest corner of the intersection of Coahuila & Revo.

Thanks all. HDS=hacienda de Santiago. So it's seems the best for me will be to do a night at cascades and a night at Toucan or Caesars. As stated before, if anyone wants a wingman, PM me and we can make arrangements.

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;2079456]I'm dying laughing over here! Damn near spit out my last beer. Oh my goodness![/QUOTE]Decided not to go to V's for the rest of my life.

This may have been mentioned before but here it is again if it was.

To anyone with notions of driving into Tijuana through San Ysidro a couple of weeks from now, the USA General Services Administration has some advice: Change those plans.

For a 57-hour periodfrom 3 am On Saturday, Sept. 23 until noon on Monday, Sept. 25 the border will be closed to southbound vehicles.

The closure is critical to the GSA's plan to realign the southernmost portion of Interstate 5 a project that launches the third and final phase of the $741 million expansion of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the busiest land port in the Western Hemisphere.

A very long detailed read for anyone interested.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2081268]Piri Pharmacy is on the Freedom path across from the Tijuana Wax Museum. Try 1/2 or 1/4 of a pill for your first time to test your personal reaction.[/QUOTE]I am also going to give a hat tip to Mercado El Piri. $9 for 4 boxes (16 pills) of Figral beats the price you'll pay from the restroom guy at Hong Kong.

For those that are afraid to venture outside of Hong Kong, don't be afraid. Just jump in a cab and tell them "cuatro dollars to museo de cera at el Arco". They'll understand what you mean. $4 dollars to the Wax Museum at the Arc. The area is pretty safe with lots of people and plenty of tourists.

Besides from the look that the CBP agent gave me, I had no problems bringing 4 boxes of Figral across.

P.S. The southbound access at Pedwest is really nice.

[QUOTE=WanderingMan;2079849]Has anyone ever visited thhis club out of the zona?[/QUOTE]Yeah, I visited on my visit a year ago. Much slower that Hong Kong, when HK had 50 girls working, New Body had only 5. And I think I was the only customer. But it was a nice club with plenty of room and nice atmoshere and I actually had a good intimate sexy time with a girl in the private room.

When I was staying overnight at Hotel Cascadas, not all, but some ally girls had no problems joining me in my room. I just had to pay their hotel fee (eg. If they were standing in front of Hotel Mini).

I just recently tried one of the girls in front of Hotel Ibiza and had to use her hotel. Rooms were nice. My question is a) If I become a guest at Ibiza, do I still have to pay the short term fee to bring girls up. B) Will girls from other locations come up and especially the ones standing at the back of Hotel Cascadas? Thanks.

I exchange about $1000 before crossing then exchange it back when I get into Tijuana. At the abc exchange I got 17.6 x1000= MN 17,600. Then exchanged it at the cambio across from hotel gloria 17.05/17,600= $1032 and some odd cents. Made $32.
