Tijuana Reports

[QUOTE=Hodysseus;5242417]I applied for my Senti back in Oct 2019. At that time they quoted me 52 weeks. As it turned out I was approved in November 2020, which was longer than 52 weeks. However taking into account all the shutdowns from covid, I was thankful to get it that quickly. You will still have to go the interview then wait for your card, but it will all be worth the wait in the end. Crossing the border with Sentri is a breeze, even compared to the Ready lanes when you drive across.[/QUOTE]At this point, no American should ever apply for SENTRI. The process takes forever, they have far fewer locations where you can go for your interview, and getting an interview is much harder. Global Entry has all of the benefits of SENTRI, plus it works for travel to any country (SENTRI is only for Mexico; NEXUS is only for Canada). The Global Entry application process only takes a few weeks, and you can get your interview easily at hundreds of different locations. SENTRI is only worthwhile for non-US citizens from certain other countries.

Heaven is back as of 3/8/21 .

[QUOTE=Jason619;5245487]Heaven is back as of 3/8/21 .[/QUOTE]Yep, all clubs are currently open -- not as speakeasies in their respective hotels. It will be interesting to see how long that lasts. I hope it continues for good!

Arrived in Tijuana approx. 4:00 pm Tuesday 9th due to work telecons. Went in through Mexican line showed my $30 pass and was told to go right in.

Had my traditional therapeutic massage then walked the streets and checked out the clubs. HK had a good number of talent some looked really good. Seemed to be quite business oriented though. Same with Adelita. Stopped into Tropical. Door man took me in to a seat then said I could tip him $5 and it would be ok. Wished I had not given him anything in hind site and never will again if I go in there. Not as many street standers as last Thursday. Decided on one of them though. Stands on North side of alley closer to Constitution. Said her name Elisabeth. Wanted 300 for quickly or 500 for everything. Was quite cute so I decided to go ahead. In the room wanted money I pulled it out then she said "more things cost more". I grabbed the money back and was going to leave. She quickly backed off and said 500 for everything. I should have left. No touching or kissing anything. Found this out after entering her. So finished. Was a nice tight giner.

Had a couple tacos then back to the US.

Heading over to HK this coming Sunday afternoon to check out the reopening. Send me a PM if you've ever been interested in going but afraid to go alone.

Is this the bone-skinny Elizabeth with a long coat?

She's ugly, all skin and bone with a bad attitude.

There are many hotter and sweeter street girls but the weather has been cold and they are not working.

Finally made my way down yesterday to HK for their re-opening. Arrived at 1:30 pm and it was comfortable with more ladies than guys. Easy to get a table and chill while enjoying a beer and entertainment. The meseros were a bit eager to get your drink order. I had at least 4 meseros hit me up after I ordered a drink. I know they are doing their job but it's annoying. Anyway, beautiful ladies and the vibe was great. So glad they opened the club as the 7th floor option just want my thing. HK staff did add some fans near the rear stairs for better air circulation and closed off every other bar stool to maintain distance. I'd say about half of the people were wearing masks. Overall had a good time with three ladies, plus a nice lunch at Azuls. The only drawback was the pedestrian line at 7:30 pm was long. Took about 45 minutes to cross. I need to get a sentri card!!

[QUOTE=DrPornDawger;5255475]Thought everything is cheaper in TJ?[/QUOTE]Dude, pesos. Street girls in the zona are about the only thing where pesos are a lot cheaper than just using dollars. The bars, clubs, and hotels accept dollars and it's usually a better rate than pesos. But street girls think in pesos and you get a much better deal. It gets confusing because the symbol for peso is also " (we stole it from Mexico).

That 500 peso fuck cost him about $25. If he had paid dollars it would probably have been $50.

[QUOTE=FunTimes2019;5255331]I need to get a sentri card!![/QUOTE]Don't get SENTRI, get Global Entry. It has the same benefits, works for any international travel (not just Mexico), and is far faster / easier to get. There is no reason for a US citizen to get SENTRI anymore.

Thanks for the info! I plan on applying soon but don't expect to get it anytime soon with such a backlog. On another note, it really helps to speak Spanish. I'm bilingual but all three times I went up, I was quoted 80 instead of 100 that I keep hearing about.

[URL]https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/how-apply/application-fees[/URL] The $80 possibly a scam? I doubt the CBP officer accepting the application would approve the interview without the extra $20. The interview was fairly simple.

[QUOTE=JDome;5255736]With Global entry can you skip the line if walking over?[/QUOTE]Global entry has its own line. You can walk past the long line and get into the global entry line.

The 80 fee instead of 100 is regarding what the ladies in HK quoted me. It has nothing to do with Global Entry. Please read my previous trip report.
