Monterrey

[QUOTE=Angelmio]I visited Monterrey a few years ago, and found a girl I really liked. I don't remember the name of the bar, but I do remember is was across the street from one name Tangrala or something like that. Her name was Cecelia. Anybody know a Cecilia. She was really thin, and reminded me of a crack *****. But, she was hot. Sorry to be so vague, but it's been a few years ago, and I just don't remember this shit after so long.

Coming back in a few weeks, and want to look her up if she's still around.[/QUOTE]You mean she was just thin, or actually a "crack *****" look. That doesn't seem to hot, but to each his own.

She looked healthier than a crack *****, but she was damned thin. She sat with me for a while, but don't remember names. You could look for her there. It might be her. You can't miss her. She even kept bringing up that she is sooooooo thin. Yeah, you're thin baby.

Caught a link someone posted in the Nuevo Laredo topic which indicated Palacio de Hierro has been "held up by gunmen" three times this year. I had no idea about this although that's been one of my big hang outs this summer. Absolutely no sign that anything was abnormal as of a week or two ago.

Maybe the Infinito danger is overblown and the real danger is taking your girlfriend shopping to the mall. I mention this partly because I see more gringos hanging out with their Monterrey girlfriends in the various malls in San Pedro than I see anywhere else on the planet.

Of course it's overblown.
Chesterboy has never been here to Monterrey.

Blourghus, Palacio de Hierro was robbed a couple of months ago and that's it. The other instance happened years ago.
No more.
And it wasn't "held", just the jewelry section Tiffany's has been afected, not the whole store.
You've been here. Thing is that Colonia del Valle folk do not want armed guards around them even if it means that the stores for the rich can be targets for robberies.
So even if it was robbed, no guards will be posted.

Well, crime is one thing, and anarchy is another. Mexico is poised on the verge of anarchy right now. I wish it were so easy as to be only dealing with the crime, which runs just as rampant in the USA. No, this is a different animal.

The danger is to the average bystander caught in the crossfire as the gangs battle each other, and the government battles the cartels, all of them having little regard for the innocents that might get caught in the crossfire.

There is no safe place to be. But, none the less, life goes on. And, If you have to live here, you might as well be getting some pussy in the process.

Well, I agree that traveling into Mexico at all is taking your life in your own hands these days. But, if you have to travel into Mexico, I can not say enough about the Mexican Bus System. Mexico may be a shit hole, but one thing they do have perfected in every way is the Mexican Bus System. Just compare TuriStar or Noreste to Greyhound. What a fuckin' cluster Greyhound is. Been there, done that. You will be amazed at how comfy and well operated the Mexican Bus Lines are. Miracles never cease.

There is no danger in Monterrey. No violence whatsoever. It's all overblown.come down to Infinito and bring plenty of cash. If you want the real information, you must meet personally with Monterreydude.come alone with plenty of cash for the hot women.

[QUOTE=El Cazador]The Palacio de Hierro was robbed by armed men two times almost within same month. These type of crime is reported by noticias but most individual crime are not. This week an open air mall and also a very large enclosed mall where held up by armed men and ended up in one dead. The enclosed mall was entirely shut down. A friend also tell me that a semi-new car lot owner in the same city of Palacio de Hierro was kidnapped yesterday.

There's no reazon to try defend the safety of Monterrey right now. It is very violent and getting worse.[/QUOTE]Lies and BS. Monterreydude and I live here in Monterrey and the worst you will find is minor traffic violations.

I really have to question the agendas of all these trolls making accounts and posting their fantasies. Look at how few posts they have! They can't be trusted.

Take it from veteran resident Monterreydude. If you come to Monterrey and go to Infnito, you will be safe no matter what. But bring plenty of cash.

I laugh out loud when I read about crime in Monterrey. There's a 0% chance of violent crime in Monterrey. Never happens. This is so ridiculous that it's funny.

One Fucking question: Does "anybody" have anything to say about finding pussy in the Monterrey Section.

The thing about the Palacio de Hierro is that it "appears" to be a safe place and I would have never guessed there was ever any danger there recently. Yet, Infinito has the outward appearance of being much less safe by comparison, although there seem to have been no recent confirmed incidents there. If you asked me, I would have said unequivocally (without looking at any actual data to back up the claim) that Palacio de Hierro was much safer. But, even now knowing this information, I would still take a lot more precautions in the future at Infinito than at Palacio de Hierro.

Most travellers have a tendendency to cloud their safety judgments by what they have experienced themselves. Folks are quick to declare some place as "safe" just because they passed through it and never personally witnessed any problem with their own eyes. I see this all the time on travel sites. On the other extreme there are people who will never leave their house because they are afraid they will get hit by a car. Everybody has very different expectations, and very different thresholds of what constitutes danger. In the end the debate is unwinnable for either side, and you will never convince anybody of your position. Playing down actual security threats, and overreacting to existing security threats, are equally irresponsible. The most useful thing would be to share as specific information as you can regarding safety situation, data and experiences, to help other guys and keep them safe (but not too safe).

That is the reasonable point of view. The information about the occurrence of such crimes is important for everyone to assess their own safety. But, the general cat fighting that seems to be going on here between rival members is relatively worthless. We all know that there are dangers in Mexico right now. But, giving up on pussy isn't a reasonable expectation for me. I would never have gone to Rio so many times back when I could afford it had fear overpowered this horn dog.

[QUOTE=Marius 67]Why is the USA governement not doing anything. Why? [/QUOTE]


What can the US government do? It's Mexico and we can't just send troops into another nation (so close to us). Besides, we have our hands full with the countries we have already invaded.

Ahem... Chester Boy, allow me to remind you that Marius is the one that lives in Monterrey, not you.

Freudian slip, I guess.
So many handles, mistakes are always bound to come.

Remember, I've witnessed the wide-spread extortion first-hand? I know you are increasingly famous for your denials of reality, but does that also go towards denials of identity? LOL.

Go back and check if you don't believe me.

But, in any case, you have convinced me that all the crime and heavy-handed extortion was little more than an optical illusion. There is zero chance of violence in Monterrey and all reports of anything violent are merely lies from imposters and people who just don't know. Bring cash. Come to Infinito. Meet with you. All is safe.

I am the one in the food distribution industry, but, yeah, I am a resident of Monterrey and I can vouch for Monterreydude's claims. Everything is way overblown. No violence whatsoever. Zero chance of problems. Come to Infinito.
