TJ 1st time

With having such shit luck with the relationship world I've finally decided take a trip to TJ lol. Going down Dec 15th through the 19th. Staying at Cascadas, will probably mostly be at HK but definitely going to check out other places. Been doing a good bit of research and I'm glad for all the info out there. Definitely going to enjoy this trip, if anybody else happens to be going we can grab beers if you want. If anybody's got any advice to through out there feel free to share it. I do have one question though. How much cash would y'all be comfortable crossing the border with? I know I'm going to have to have use a ATM but want to minimize it.

    Also do you think it's worth getting a Jacuzzi room?

    Are you a black dude or just a Tone Loc fan?

    Do the BGs treat black guys any differently?

    As for cash to take across.....as long as you distribute it between your pockets and your baggage and then use then safe in the hotel room, you can take ANY amount. As I have noted in the past, make a comfortable budget and then double it and take that amount. As I have said, you can always make money but you can't recreate the time spent in HK - don't ever come up short on cash in HK. As for the room, take the best one you can afford. Don't take the cheapest single bed ones.....good luck and enjoy.

    @Funkycold88

    I will play along and comment on your discussion.

    To answer your question:

    Q: How much cash would y'all be comfortable crossing the border with? I know I'm going to have to have use a ATM but want to minimize it.

    A: “Carrying over $10,000 USD cash when departing from or arriving to Mexico is legal. However, failing to declare it is a violation to the Mexican Laws”

    So I would feel comfortable crossing the border with up to $9,999 USD so I don’t have to (and you don’t have to either) use the ATM

    As long as you are not flashing cash carelessly no one would know how much money you have for them to want to rob you, and as long as you don dress flashy the same applies.

    Dress as a lower middle class or upper lower class American and behave like a well raised gentleman and you will be treated as a gentleman.

    To answer your other question

    Q: do you think it's worth getting a Jacuzzi room?

    A: Sex in the jacuzzi, pool or shower is not as safe as in other dry places. In my humble opinion and limited experience foreplay can take place in the jacuzzi, and then move things to dry clean areas to finish. It is up to you, if it is in your bucket list or not.

    Since you said it is your first time, remember; nothing is going to be as you expect it, it can be better or not as good, but you are going to enjoy the journey to the Happiest Place on Earth as long as you are open to the possibilities.

    I always recommend to people not to drink at all to be able to enjoy and remember the good times and also be sober to deal smartly and calmly with ant kind of situation.

    Just be careful out there and remember Pics and Vids or it didn’t happen.

    Ask for HK US airport pickup by their man, Alberto. For $75 you can skip all the taxis & border lines. And it's safer.

    Wow TJ Walker, this is new info. How do we get in touch with HK to get this pick-up from the US Airport? Is the pick up from the San Diego Airport?

    The biggest single threat of a problem in Tijuana is with the policea. don’t dress flashy but dress neatly.
    as to the Need for a Jacuzzi I place on a very low priority. The rooms do tend to be the nicer ones but the water is dirty. May not seem like it when you first look at it... but if you use the bath bubbles you will see the scum. to keep your amount of dollar bills to a minimum I suggest Carrie mainly the big bill. Especially in Hong Kong change is always available. you can either utilize the north bar bartender (since they have the most change available) or use a trusted mesero. i usually spend 300 to 400 a day. US dollars are fully usable at the bars in Zona Norte. For the street girls I suggest pesos and be sure to acquaint yourself with the exchange rate. Presently it’s about 20pesp to 1 dollar.

    This is a pre-Covid TUSCL TJ article that has good-info for first-timers and most of the info still applies:

    My first time there I got the Jacuzzi room and I'm glad I did. I didn't care about the jacuzzi but the room was bigger than the ones I saw without the jacuzzi and the every girl I brought up seemed to want to take their time in my room. This could be total placebo but on my second trip there it wasn't the same.

    The 2x larger jacuzi rooms allow for a lot more different sex positions, mostly standings, there's also a sofa in room, a table/counter (sexable) and more large mirrors :-)

    @Papi are there BGs in TJ that are your type? I keep reading that Haitians are coming to the Mexican border and applying for asylum in the US. Are any of them working as BGs or paradas in the mean time?

    @funkycold88 mis 2 centavos. As some have said, spread your money around your bag, person, shoes, socks, etc. i even have a “wallet” (in case of 911, i can just give the wallet) with a small amount of $. Have not felt threatened, but better safe than sorry.
    How much should u take? Up to u. Do the math with arribas @ $100 each. Then add a little more $$.
    One thing i noticed, you ask on tuscl for info, 1st to tj...to follies, but never return the favor by reviews. Give n take friend

    Hey man I’ll be there the same time as you, sent you a message.

    Greenbeans is right, figure on $100 per arriba plus extra for drinks and fichas, times the number of arribas you think you'll manage. Don't bring anything smaller than a twenty aside from what you need for the taxi. You'll accumulate smaller bills in your change once you're there, and you can get tipping singles from any of the bartenders at HK, Adelita's and CC.

    Welcome to yoir new addiction!!

    Last pieces of advice; upon entering HK, waive meseros off. Like slow down. Do at least 2 SLOW laps around all the awesomeness. Stay in control of YOUR experience. Pick where you wanna seat, go get the girl YOU want. Be respectful but confident. Chicas & meseros can smell fear & nerves, shit like new car smell.

    Last thing... Report back when done.
