Travel Info
I want to go check out Tijuana, but everyone says such bad things. I'm not really interested in going to jail. ;D
Travel Tips
I've been there about 3 times, but absolutely would not go alone. When I went, I was with a guy I know who married a lady from TJ, and she was raised there. They both know their way around, and where to go and where not to go. I'd have been lost without them. I also wasn't used to seeing police standing in pairs carrying assault rifles. Also, the "Federalis" (spelling?) -- Federal Police -- will force their way through heavy traffic when on a call. If they take your mirror off or dent your vehicle.....oh, well....there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, I've seen them forcing their way through traffic like that. Personally, I'd say go with someone who's been there enough to know their way around, and stay with them. It's interesting to see, but use your head about it, that's all.
One other thought....the fastest way to find yourself arrested is to possess drugs or a gun.....guns are absolutely NOT allowed (they wouldn't even let our military bring in weapons with blanks for a military funeral there -- for the 21-gun salute), and they're always watching for ANY drugs....not a place to go for that. |
