Heading to Tijuana December 2 - 4

[fancy_argonaut]

My trip found me to be all tired out from having the flu. I felt crappy the entire time down there. I would like to know about the rooms that you were talking of. I would be interested in better lodging. Although the Zaragoza was pretty nice for the money IMHO. I do find that the "state of attitude" in Tijuana is to rip-off the tourists in general. Not all the people were out to fleece me. But the majority seems to be that way. Perhaps I have been to the wrong places.

As for the strip club scene, I like it. I find that the women are hotter in these places as opposed to Adelitas and Chicago. For only a buck, you can have your hands all over a decent looking girl. It was funny when I had one girl push my fingers farther in her pussy out of frustration of my light caress down there.

The Adelita and Chicago Club experience kinda sucks because I like to take my time with the ladies. Savor the encounter a little more. Perhaps that is why I like the strip clubs. I would also like to explore the massage thing a little more. I liked the Aztec Massage place because it was what it was. A decent massage with no frills. Is that what the deal is with Viva Mex?

Another thing is that I would like to have something better than just the 7's and 8's at the Adelita/Chicago places and move it up to the 10's. Where does one find them? And how much does that cost? I don't know about the rest of you, but I really like banging 10's. I live for that. I didn't see a 10 this trip.

Another thing I would like to know is I keep getting propositioned by the cabbies about getting the best massage, the best girls, and the best place in town. I assume that it is all bull crap. I would like to know where I can get the hot women and no knock. Thanks.

Dude first off, I'm not dogging you, but damn. Where do I start? I think next time you decide to come to TJ, try to hook up with some more experienced people that can show you around TJ so you will have a better and more productive time. I've gone to TJ maybe 50 times within the last several months, as the border is only about 12 miles from my house. TJ in my worthless opinion is not as bad as you portray it to be, as long as you use common sense and conduct yourself properly. This is where a person who has lots of TJ time under his belt would come in handy. First I think you paid way too much for the hotel, you can do a lot better in price and quality. Second that ignorant fucker that told you he wanted 50 bucks to usher you around TJ for two hours, I would have gotten out immediately and told him to suck my cock. Next I would have gone back to the hotel and told the manager that the desk clerk fleeced you by setting you up with this dumbshit in the car, and threaten to check out with a full refund in hand.
Finally, and respectfully, how can you tour the zone and not get laid or at least get blown? Dude, that's what there girls do for a living. You need to support them and keep the economy going. Whip it out and make that little chica earn her money. Stop wasting your money on those cunts in the strip clubs. If you go for the lap dances, work a hard bargin for the money. Say 20 bucks for 3 dances with her giving you a knobber as a sample of what you can get if you want to go upstairs for some more dinero. At the very least, she should give you a good hand job for your hard earned bucks. If she comes off with an attitude, it aint nothin personal. Just simply go on to the next girl or a different club altogether. And speaking of the massage, the next time you're here, I suggest you forgo the Aztec Massage, it is a dive with crappy amenities in my few visits there several months ago. Instead there is a place that opened a few months ago that on Revolution Ave. between 3rd and 4th street called VivaMex Spa. They have a website under the same name, or you can access it when you log onto tjamigos.com website under bars and massage parlors. It is new, clean, and more bang for the buck (30 dollars for a full hour to the minute) or more if you want it. Totally safe to leave your clothes and money in the room. I've been there maybe 15 times within the last couple of months, as I only live about 10 minutes from the border.
To close, I only want you and the other mongers that visit TJ to have a good time and make the most of it by being more informed of the good places to go and the ones to stay away from. There's many do's and don'ts also associated with being in Mexico, so I suggest you spend time with this forum and also tjamigos.com to become familiar with the flow of how things happen. You can usually post when you are planning to visit TJ and most of the time, there are people who go there quite frequently that would be more than happy to show you around and enjoy the company.
Anyway, I hope you have a more enjoyable experience next time you visit TJ and its surrounding areas. There are a multitude of things to occupy your time here, and most all of them can be accomplished with little or no risk to your safety and wellbeing. Also don't sweat it if you don't speak spanish, most people have a working knowledge of english, especially in the Zona and the surrounding areas. If they don't or won't understand, simply walk away and deal with someone who does. ?Es muy facil, que no?

I left Reno on a 9am flight through Southwest Airlines. Had to pass through Oakland but I got to stay on my plane. Southwest has no direct service to San Diego, so all flights are either with stops or plane changes. So on both ways I was in a flight that had me stay on the plane but I had one-stop. I arrived in San Diego by about 1145am and was in my cab to the border by noon. I chose the cab because of pure laziness. Had the driver agree to 40 dollar flat-rate to the border. He wasn't too happy about it because it costs about 45 on the meter, but there were several other cabs there that were willing to take my offer. Before I got to the border, I stopped at the bank and took out 500 bucks. I wanted to make sure that I had the right amount of funding to make sure I had a good time.

Crossed the border. Had no problems there. No asshole Mexican Border guy telling me to press the button to pass by like I have experienced in the past. In fact, there wasn't anyone there this time. I avoided going to the Yellow Cab stand that is straight ahead, I went to the right and walked towards the McDonalds. You can't miss it. Once you get out the gates and you are greeted by the line of Yellow Cab cabbies barking at you to come in their cabs. Ignore them. Keep walking across the street. Walk past the Pharmacy and the McDonald's. Keep walking until you see the Taxi Libre stand. You have to pass the gauntlet of barkers, street venders, and street people. There you will find a good deal in terms of price of taxi. When I get to the stand and take my cab, I always say, "con meter por favor". It means, with meter please. Be firm and polite. I take the cab to my haunt. La Villa Zaragoza Hotel at 7th and Madero. For this weekend, I got my decent and safe room for 49 dollars a night. For two nights, Friday and Satuday night I was able to get a room quite easily. The cost of the taxi is under 27 pesos (approximately $2.70). Give them 3 bucks. Most of the Tijuana inhabitants like to round the exchange rate to the nearest peso and in their favor. The exchange rate is about 10.3 or 10.4. But they want to have it be 10 pesos to the dollar. I give it to them. I consider it their tip.

I get to the hotel and I get a standard room with a king-sized bed. When I get to room I crash. I was tired from a long week of work and being sick. I was getting over some flu or something. Later in the day. about 3 pm, I make a huge mistake. I asked the front desk guy at the hotel to help me find a driver to take me shopping somewhere where I wouldn't get the gringo prices. He points his finger at a guy that was loitering in the small lobby of the hotel and tells him to bring me to some shopping place out of the area. At this time, I was very tired and I wasn't really thinking straight. I told the guy I am not sure what I really want to do but can I hire you for couple hours for driving me where I want to go. He lit up and said sure. By this time we were already driving. I asked him how much will it cost me for a couple hours. He told me 50 bucks! I felt like such an idiot. I told the guy that that was too much. Then I told the guy 40 for two hours. Retarded! (I should have gotten a Taxi Libre con meter) That was my mistake.

I decided not to go shopping after all. I decided that I wanted to see the beach of Tijuana. I went down there and saw some pretty cool things. Once I was there, I got to see the border along the beach. There isn't a fence blocking the whole beach. There is a fence that goes halfway across the beach though. I walked down there and looked to see if I could walk across the beach border. I noticed that there was a border patrol guy sitting in his jeep up top of the hill on the US side. I got to have a little fun by jumping back and forth from the US side to the Mexican side. After I had enough of that, I walked down the beach looked at all the beat up and ugly buildings that are there. I don't understand why they don't develope this area and make something good out of it. It's just a freakin mess down there. After the beach stroll, I got back into my driver's car and head back into town. Then I went back to bed and slept.

The next day, I made a decision to have some fun. So what did I do? I decided to walk around. I walked to Revolution which is only a block from the hotel. Walked up and down the street. Up to the CaliMex grocery store, down to 2nd Street. I forget the name. All of these streets have names, but they are also given a number for reasons that I am not sure of. Things that I noticed while walking the streets. The police, the police, the police. I was seeing the police driving up and down the streets. Sometimes at very high speeds chasing God knows what. I have to say, I never had any trouble with them. I am a male in my late 30's, white, clean cut, without anything extravagant on my person. They didn't even look at me. Other things that I noticed were street vendors. They are very practiced and persistent. Never make eye contact with them because they will chase you. Insult you. Anything to get you to give them your attention. Just don't give it to them.

There is some good news. I did find something that tasted very good on the strip. At the Aztec Massage entrance, there is a stand that sells Churros. Very delicious. Costs 50 cents. Probably 5 pesos. Check it out. By the way. On past trips I have used the Aztec Massage for a good real massage. The price was 25 bucks. These girls have good hands and can melt away your stress in a session. I highly recommend it. (Sorry, no sex offered there)

On to the night. I went to Peanuts and Beer strip club. Not a bad value. I wanted to try something completely different from all my previous trips. I have been a Adelitas and Chicago Club guy, but I wanted to try something different this trip. When you get there it is a little intimadating. You are confronted with the barker in the front. Don't let this bother you. They will bring you in and find you a seat in the club and bring your first drink. I played it graciously and gave the guy a buck tip for bringing me my 4 dollar beer. I got my seat right at "sniff row". Right at the rail. I like the rail because I can nurse my beer and have a front row vaneforum.xxxe point of the action on the main seforum.xxxe. I got there about 10pm on Saturday and the place was packed. Another benefit of sniff row is that you have a good excuse not to take the girls to the private room. You can just point at the floor and say "esta bien". One can make their dollar stretch in this place good. There isn't a cover charge. Only a 4 dollar drink. Now. The ladies in this place were looking pretty good. I think they looked better than any of the ladies in Adelitas or Chicago Club for the most part. The bodies were smokin hot. The faces were, well, I dunno. Wasn't looking there. I spent 3 hours in there and I spent about 50 bucks total. I was buzzing pretty good and I got more ass than a toliet seat. By the way, there isn't a no-touching policy. That meant hands were all over the ladies. I had an excellent time in there and I recommend this place. Just remember to not get too messed up on the beer in there. Just like any Tijuana business. They are out to take you for whatever you will allow them to take. Have your guard up all the time. Never trust anyone. Word of warning.

After I left Peanuts and Beer, I jumped in a cab and went to Chicago Club. Jesus F'n Christ! This place was very, very busy. Wall to wall people. I looked around and left. Walked to the alley and checked out the ladies. As I walked by, they kept beckoning me with a "ch-ch-ch-ch-ch" sound. Like a rattlesnake. I got a kick out of that. I talked to couple them. They were cute, but none of them struck my fancy for some reason. I guess I wasn't interested in having relations that night. I'm probably a homo. Not!

Walked into the Hong Kong Bar. They made me pay for a beer before entering. Walked in. Wall to wall dudes and a few women. I walked in, took a few swigs of the Tecate. and then left. I wasn't impressed with what I saw in there. Probably all the hotties that have been spoken about were "busy".

Left the bar and went around the block to the entrance of Adelitas. Same story with Adelitas. Wall to wall humanity. I walked in, walked out. Jumped into a cab and headed back to Peanuts and Beer. I spent about a half hour there and decided to call it the night. I didn't get any. I was okay with it.

Went to bed around 4 am and got up around 11am. I checked out of my room. One thing to note is that I used the hotel's security box for my wallet, keys, and excess dollars. In the four times I have stay at this particular hotel, I have never had anything stolen from me in my room or in my deposit box.

I had a 735pm flight, and I had to kill a few hours in TJ. I decided to walk around again. I ate a Burger King. Watched some football at the Caliente sportsbook by the JaiAlai Palace. After that I hailed a cab to take me down to Adelitas. I wanted to see what it was like on a Sunday afternoon. I get there and it was wall to wall humanity again. I walk out. I walk to Peanuts and Beer and see what is happening up there. The place is empty. I see only about 4 girls working in the whole place. There is one hottie in there and I get a private dance with her and I had a good time. Total touching in the curtained cubical. There was so much touching allowed that the girl was frustrated that I didn't touch her pussy enough. She would press my fingers inside of her. I got the hint and gave her a pussy exam. All for 30 bucks for 3 songs. (Long songs) Not bad. After that, I head back to the hotel to get my things from the office and go to the border. There was a huge line, but it moved quickly. Took about 35 minutes. When I get to the officer, he asks, "country of citizenship?" Also he says, "did you bring anything back?" A breeze. Run my bags through the x-ray machine. I am in America! I take the trolley to downtown and catch a cab to the airport.

Conclusion:

Tijuana is Mexican hell. Now. Let me say that hell has some benefits. Hot chicks. Interesting people. Never a dull moment. But there is the bad things. The Cops. The Bandits. The Vendors. The Danger. I was in constant fear every moment I was there. The thought that you can be tossed in jail and not have a chance to get out. The thought that someone could steal your things and you can't really defend yourself because you will be judged against because you are in someone else's country with no real rights. With that thought in mind, I will still come here. I am in the hope of going to a better venue though. I have been to Dominican Republic and that was an experience way different than what I had in Tijuana. Tijuana is a circus like atmosphere with a lot of lawlessness. Dominican Republic has better laws to protect the tourist. It seems to me the law is to exploit tourists in Tijuana. Just remember to not trust too much when in TJ. You need to know what you can before you decide to come down. Knowledge is power and this board is a good start to learn to stay safe down there. The danger down there is real. I recommend taking steps to make sure you are covered. The La Villa Zaragoza is a good hotel. But even they will exploit you just to chizel a buck out of you. Use the Taxi Libres with the meters. Get the money you need on the USA side. Play it smart.

Yeah, I'm here now and will stay for the next couple of weeks. I'd be happy to meet you and anybody who's cool. Bunch of guys from tjamigos are going to Deliciosa on Ave. Constitucion Dec. 3rd at 7pm, I'll be there too.

I don't like clubs though (too loud), much prefer street chicas. If you want clubs, I suggest starting with Adelitas and Chicago Club and taking it from there. $40-60/half an hour +$11/room for servicio completo (sin ropa, oral, todas posiciones). Half that in the alley (depending on time of day and your negotiating skills), but quality drops.

I am coming to Tijuana this weekend for my 4th trip. This will be my first time for coming during the weekend. I know from what I have read that it is a mad house. I have hotel reservations in Tijuana so I don't have to do the border shuffle all the time. Is there going to be any regulars of this board going? My plan is to be at Adelitas and Chicago Club. And possibly sometime at the strip clubs. The strip clubs is a new thing for me. If anyone has any input on those, please let me know.
