Tijuana Reports

[QUOTE=WeedInSd420;5716819]Thinking of crossing to Tijuana soon but I don't have a valid US passport yet, just my drivers license. Is it possible to cross to Mexico and back by walking from just using my drivers license?[/QUOTE]As MikeFandango says, it is possible but can be very inconvenient. Crossing into Mexico, they may allow you through, but will probably require that you purchase a tourist card called an "FMM" (some people call this a visa, but it's technically not). It should cost you $30. They may accept a simple bribe of $20 in lieu of purchasing the FMM.

Returning to the US, they have to let you back in to the country if you are a US citizen, but they don't have to make it convenient. Without a passport they can send you to "secondary screening" to confirm your identity. This can take 10 minutes or multiple hours. This is AFTER you have waited in the pedestrian line to cross into the US -- which can also range from an hour or so to four or more hours, depending on the time and day. Bottom line, if you are crossing back to the US without a passport, expect it to take a long time. Try to cross when the lines are short, and leave plenty of time if you are catching a plane.

I'm white as fuck And never have any issues with just my Drivers License. Crossing in Mexico they bring you into a back room they ask for 40 bucks, give them 20 and they let you go. Back into the US I just say, sorry I forgot my passport. They ask me where I was and I'm straight up I say Hong Kong and they say next time bring your passport and I'm through. Now my buddies who aren't as white as me, they have made go to secondary in the US, put them through the ringer. They always get through in the end, just takes more time. Also helps if you drivers license is CA. Had someone with a WA license once and they gave more shit too.

Appreciate the feedback fellas, going to be giving it a try this weekend with just the drivers license we'll see how it goes.

It is best to go and apply for a passport. Just go to the UCSD passport processing center. You can get a card for $50 or $60 I believe. You can use the receipt of passport application to cross.

Maybe heading to Rosarito for a few days and wanted to see if there is any fun to be had, let me know.

Side note since I started my TJ adventures in the early 2000's does anyone remember the Amazing Tonya? What a fun time with her always.

Ah, yes. Tonya / Tania / Tanya (assuming you are refering to La Famosa of Adelitas). I first became a TJ regular in 1996 and quickly learned to latch on to either Tania or her friend Candy at every possible oppertunity.

I have never been to TJ but was thinking about heading down there and hitting up the Hong Kong club.

I was curious what you guys think is a good amount of money that I should expect to need to bring with me?

I'd probably only do one girl. I'm too old to do two in one visit. .

I'd park on US side and taxi to HK. I have read several other reviews I know that you may have to talk to several of them before you find the right one so there's going to be some expenses in buying them drinks paying for the room maybe getting some food while you're there taxi fare back-and-forth plus the girls fee. Assuming I head down there and spend a few hours total what kind of realistic amount of cash should I bring. I've heard these girls can try and rip you off but assuming I picked out one of the hot ones what am I really expecting to get legitimately charged for 30 to 40 minutes. BBBJ if I can.

Aside from cash and your I'd and maybe a couple of bank or credit cards I'm assuming you would want to leave most anything else valuable that could be stolen or robbed from you back in the US. Are there safe places to park your car on the US side or are you asking to get your car burglarized to be parked in the wrong spot.

Thank you.

[/QUOTE]You could get by with like $120 if you didn't drink or eat anything. Me, if I'm going across, I'm going to enjoy myself a bit and have some beers as well as a chica or two. I would say you can eat, drink, and fuck a single chica quite well on all accounts, for 200 bucks. But if you want to drink twelve beers or feel up every girl in the bar, it's going to be more.

Girls will ask for 100 (or apparently 120 some people are reporting) but you can definitely get them for 80 depending on the day and time. I haven't been since before the pandemic and apparently they are trying to recoup losses, both on the girl side and the hotel side. The room is roughly $30 all-in for your session. Feel-up any working girl in the bar for $1. Beers are around 5 bucks and chica drinks are around double that, if you want them to sit with you and see if you get along. If you want to eat, leave the bar and go to the taco stand right on the corner for amazing tacos at dirt cheap prices. ($10-15 is more than enough to be stuffed).

BBBJ if I can.[/QUOTE]You can spend as much or as little as you want (well, as much anyway). Besides the $80-100 for a girl, you'll have the $30 room charge for 30 minutes. If you negotiate with the girl for more time, expect to pay more for the room as well. Then you have drinks. If your goal is just to get laid, you don't need to buy any drinks at all. But if you want to interview a few girls and find one who is most compatible with your style / personality, expect to pay $10 for a ficha drink. That will get her to spend 10-30 minutes with you, wherein she tries to persuade you to go upstairs and you try to figure out if she is the one. Use this time to feel her up, get her to dance for you, make sure she is fun and accommodating. If she drinks her ficha fast, what will she be like in the room? Also, you'll tip the waiter for her drinks, the door guy for checking her out and giving her a robe, and the kid who cleans the room when you are done.

So, for a 30 minute session you have $100 for the girl, $20 for drinks for her, $30 for the room itself, $5 tips. That's $155. Add in some money for a cab, drinks for you, and random tips, and you can get in and out of TJ for under $200.

If you want to hang in the bar and "interview" lots of girls, you can easily spend a ton of money. Those drinks add up. But remember, at a strip club in the US you'll pay as much as $30 for a lame lap dance for one three-minute song. A $10 drink in Hong Kong can get you twenty minutes of full contact flirting, touching, and grinding. Enjoy.

Does anyone know if Luxor Massage is still open?

It is best to apply for a passport at a passport processing center. UCSD has a passport processing center. It is about $80 with the processing fees for a passport card. You can use the receipt as proof off application to cross. This way you be certain that you can cross.

[QUOTE=MikeFandango;5717380]I always go with my passport and I also got the six month entry to Mexico (40 bucks). I saw many people that come back with only a driver license, they will question you and eventually they will let you go, but IMO not worth it the hassle, but definetly is worthed to go to TJ, make sure you do your home work before, Zona Norte is a lot of fun but you need to know where to go.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Taco007;5729707]Dropped a lot of money there in the early 2000's. Beautiful ladies![/QUOTE]I would habe asked on the sister site, but all the talk in their TJ section was about Germany and Thailand.

The time a lady drink or fisha (never sure of spelling) lasts vary greatly, but under 5 minutes is not uncommon. Could be as fast as 2 minutes. Remember a drink doesn't have to be gone 100% before she orders a 2nd or 3rd, etc.

If you get 10 minutes that would be pretty good, 20 would be phenomenal.

The waiter and chica do tend to slow down considerably after 2-3 drinks, but that's usually the max most guys buy per girl anyway.

Also not ever girl consents to a full on grope & make out session during the fisha drinks.
