Hi Fellas!

Thinking of coming to GDL for a weekend for one of those Thursday FIFA matches in June.

Just wanted a safety update and projection after all of the gang violence earlier in Feb. Hoping to hear from someone in GDL long term -- on the ground.

Thanks in advance!

It's been quiet. . . Back to normal. The narcos pretty much just threw a fit that Sunday morning for about 2 hours and then that was it. I even went out and rode my bike around the whole city that day. There will be a TON of extra security out during the world cup so I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not "on the ground" but I know people that live in the city and I look at the local news online daily. The violence that happened in the city was very over sensationalized by the media. Also since that time the Mexican government especially in those cities that will be hosting WC matches has had a priority on safety and as the time comes closer you will see a higher and higher level of security. I've been very drunk late at night walking all over the city and never had any issues especially if your going to be I. The tourists or better areas. The biggest issue you will have is paying the high prices for hotels and how crowded everything will be for those matches.

I was planning on going but it didn't seem worth it for the prices and how crowded it will be. It will be a fun atmosphere but I can experience a similar atmosphere much closer to home for a lot less.

So if you have the money definitely go, just after the violence they had a baseball tournament in the city with no issues and they just had pre WC games played and nothing bad happened.

I'm interested in heading to GDL. I'm not a agency type. I like massage spots or the strip clubs. I know it's not HK in Tijuana but are there strip clubs that you can have sex with the girls in a room there? Also I see the term estetica used here, what exactly is that? Is it a massage spot or something else. Thanks.

I don't see anything on the map resembling an estetica or happy ending type massage place. I recommend trying one or two of the shadiest looking massage places you can find down there and if she asks at the end if you need anything else, that's your cue to ask for estimulacion.

This thread on catadorgdl indicates that the area is lacking:

I went to Dany's on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago. Kind of okay. Search for estetica masculina:

I am in Ajijic for a couple of weeks and looking for a female masseuse with happy ending. Does anyone have any intel? Thanks.

Just got back from GDL. Only went out one night. Men's has remodeled and is a little bigger but the talent was poor.

I was very drunk when I was in Cesar's so don't remember much.

I did hear from the taxi driver of a new strip club. Club Vicious. Maybe the GDL resident has visited.

Tried a girl from Lizeths named Paige who was terrible so overall a waste of a trip and I think I need to drink less and visit a new place.

I've used mileroticos once and I will never use them again.

Evidently I was messaging a male pimp whom I thought was the girl. When the girl was on her way, I received a text from another number. The girl stepped out of the Uber. Fat and masked. Never again.

Wise advice, thanks! I ended up playing it safe with "Cassie" from Lizeth's Girls.

I'm in Guadalajara now. There about a dozen of ads with photos of super cute women that are almost identical saying $1000/ HR $1600 for two hours:

Sort of believing they must be pure fake.

Hey guys do the agencies that people speak of here, Lizeth and Julyana, have incall locations where you can see the girls or do they only come to you? I have an airbnb in the centro which I think should be ok but not sure.

If they don't are the others that do?

No you can't see them before you make a date.

Usually if your a repeat customer they might send you a face pic but as a first timer I highly doubt it.

I've been living here for 4+ years now so of course I mainly use ATM's and veeerrrry rarely change USD. Some notes on different banks. . .

Santander, my #1 preference. 35 p fee. I think 11 k peso limit per transaction but if I want more than that I just do two transactions one after the other. Almost never fails me.

Banorte, not bad. Fee like 56 p. Also limit 11 k pesos but still nbd. Also almost never fails me.

Banamex. I avoid. The last time I was in a pinch and used one of their ATM's, it never gave me the option to decline their exchange rate, so I got stuck paying the 7% or whatever commission.

BBVA (bancomer) - I also avoid. The lines are long because it's the most popular bank, and they have a low withdrawal limit I believe (probably also because they have so much traffic).

Scotiabank. Not bad, if there were more of them I would probably use them more. Fee and limit in line with Santander I think.

HSBC. Have only used once or twice, don't remember anything out of the ordinary.

Of course I use schwab so I don't really care about the fees anyway. I also use my CC 90% of the time for the rewards and exchange rate. Cash is basically for small purchases and giving envelopes to the chicas. I've been here so long the algorithm has adjusted and I don't even have to put travel alerts on my cards any more.

As far as tapanko on a Wednesday. . . Well I wouldn't expect much action outside of Thurs / Fri / Sat nights, and definitely don't bother going before 1030 p or 11 really. The clubs here don't get going until after the boys go out for the cena, a couple of drinks after, and then they land at the teibol around 11 or 12. They pretty much all have homeboy standing near the bathroom door selling the stuff for 200 p that keeps you going all night if you want.

I've been using Banamex for about ten years now. Unlike many of the other banks, they don't try to trick you by asking you to accept their awful exchange rate. You already know, but other posters may not, that you should ALWAYS decline the bank's offered exchange rate and you will get the much better Visa exchange rate.

With Banamex, they don't ask you if you if you want to accept some crummy rate. They automatically give you the best rate without having to decline the bad rate. I've withdrawn pesos from Banamex well over a hundred times now and checked the rate. It's always the good rate. I've withdrawn the limit from Banamex and then gone to Santander and withdrawn money too, on multiple occasions, and the exchange rate is the same. Banamex charges about 31 pesos ATM fee I believe.

The only downside to Banamex imo is they have lower limits.
