TUSCL lurker here. Been to a few SCs in Vegas and LA area (I live in OC). Planning to go to Tijuana for the first time by myself this Labor Day Weekend. I've read pretty much all of the recent beginner guides about TJ on this website. Just had a few specific questions if there were any mongers with some extra time on your hands.
-
How is Tijuana on Labor Day? Is it so crowded/busy that it isn't worth going? Or does that just mean things are better/ there are more girls on Labor Day? Pretty much trying to decide if I want to go on Labor Day, or the Sunday before.
-
I've been reading alot about the new rules and pricings at HK (I don't know if I can call them new, because I've never been I guess). Is it still worth it to go to HK as a first timer, or skip straight to CC or Adelitas?
Of course, thank you to the long time Mongers for the boatload of information on this site. I would have never considered a trip by myself to TJ without it.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I hope you have both already; your passport and passport card, you will be going back for sure.
Have a valid current passport and Visitor Permit (FMM) in your possession at all times when in Mexico to show you are a legal visitor.
In any case your passport or passport card will be scanned and there will be electronic records of when you come me back to the United States for sure.
When going into Mexico they might or might not scan them too, but at the least the Mexican border officials will ask you for the Visitor Permit (FMM) and the permit will be stamped and the number of days that is valid noted on it (up to 180) and you keep half of the Visitor Permit.
Keep the Visitor Permit with your passport card or passport because you are supposed to show it to government officials, if they ask for it, and ultimately you will have to give it back to a Mexican immigration official when you leave Mexico.
This is the Mexican website with the official information: inm.gob.mx
TJ is back to “normal” regarding HK, It is SAFE and not a problem if you take the 5 minutes FREE LIMO RIDE to Hong Kong and stay at the CASCADAS HOTEL after you use the PedEast Border crossing.

Buy your $60 VIP Membership Card at the hotel Cascadas customer service.
You should get a discounted room and save in the long run when bringing one of the girls “arriba”.
Remember you are visiting a different country with a different culture a different language, but very nice people and really good food, an interesting “experiences” that you should be able and happy to afford.
As long as you behave like respectable, friendly, gentleman, you will be treated like a friendly, respectable gentleman.
Don’t overthink things, nothing is going to be exactly like you imagined or were told, just be prepared for the worst and hope for the best that way you won’t be surprised.
Just relax stay open to the positive experiences so you can have a good enjoyable time at The Happiest Place on Earth (according to Krusty)

Keep in mind the Russian proverb:
“People greet you according to the way you dress and say goodbay according to the way you behave"
Don’t drink or do drugs or do or carry anything illegal, focus on enjoying your first Hong Kong experience, relax and enjoy, don’t worry be happy.
