Traveling is great
personal interests because it will make a more open-minded person when it comes
to inter acting with people. It also made it easier to understanding as to why
people act the way they do in their own society and in a society as diverse as
the U.S. It has long been said that travels “broadens the mind”. Now new
evidence proves that jumping on a plane will not only make you smarter, but
more open-minded. When you need to plan a vacation contact me!
Overview of Tijuana
Tijuana is the largest city on the Baja
California Peninsula and an important metropolitan center in Mexico. A
sprawling border town, Tijuana is not suited to everyone's holiday taste, with
plenty of noise and frenetic activity. Its location on the American border and
proximity to San Diego and other southern Californian cities ensures a steady
stream of curious day-trippers and souvenir hunters from up north.
Tijuana's
notorious 'sin city' image of prostitution and sex shows has now taken a back
seat; the sleazy element, the drugs and violence that seems to be the lot of a
border town, is still there but the focus has shifted in an effort to clean the
town up a bit, and Tijuana has become something of a shopper's delight along
with the intense nightlife and non-stop entertainment. This is the place to
shop, drink and dance the night away; there are souvenir stalls, numerous
duty-free shopping malls and markets selling goods from all over Mexico, as
well as countless bars, restaurants and dance clubs. The center of the activity
is the bustling Revolution Boulevard, crowded with shops, bars and restaurants
and their pushy touts, who do their best to get you into their establishments.
Female tourists should avoid entering bars alone, as safety can occasionally be
an issue.
Tijuana
has some more traditional Mexican diversions as well, including bullfighting
and Jai Alai (a Spanish ball court game), but travelers to the city are
generally not looking for an authentic Mexican experience so much as a
playground south of the border. Tijuana does, however, make a fun starting
point for a holiday aimed at exploring the Baja California peninsula, and the
beaches and resorts to the south. While Tijuana has been a popular and safe
place in the past, in recent years violence between law enforcement authorities
and drug cartels has escalated, particularly along the US-Mexican border.
Visitors who still wish to travel to Tijuana are advised to exercise extreme
caution and check the safety situation with local authorities and those of
their home country.
Getting around in Tijuana
Mexico
Local buses travel along routes across the city and offer a relatively cheap
means of transport about Tijuana; the destination is usually written on the
front of the bus. Taxis are a popular means of getting around Tijuana and can
easily be hailed off the street. The most common taxis are yellow cabs, which
are unmetered, and white cabs with orange stripes, known as 'Taxi Libre', which
are metered and generally charge much less than the yellow cabs. It's best to
negotiate a fare before getting in the vehicle or, if the cab has a meter, make
sure the taxi driver has it switched on. Calling an Uber taxi has also become a
popular option in Tijuana. A number of car hire companies are available in the
city, and self-drive is a viable option; however, caution is advised due to
safety concerns. Day visitors from California will find that most of the
touristy parts of the city can easily be explored on foot, and it is
unnecessary to bring a car over the border unless planning to go farther south
into Mexico.
