Mariachi Rock and Roll in Tijuana

Mariachi Rocko Sol de México The Devil went Down to Georgia

I live in Zona Norte - Tijuana's Red Light District in a very humble spot with several really cool mariachis as close neighbors.  The most "loco" ( crazy ) one is Oliver Garcia, a master of the trumpet.  This evening he insisted that I play the following YouTube Video.

One man's crazy is not always so crazy.  As I have said a million times - wild horses or Mexican donkeys could not drag me out of TJ.

A Rare Video of Hong Kong Club of Tijuana

Hong Kong Club of Tijuana Video Review

Taking photographs or shooting a video is strictly forbidden in the Hong Kong Club of TJ and as well the entire Red Light District of Tijuana.  This is a rare clip.  Much more then a review - this is one hell of a testimonial.

Five important Spanish Phrases - courtesy of Ibiza Properties

1. Hasta luego- you probably know the word ‘adios’ but people don’t actually say it that much. The universal goodbye is said ‘asta looego’, more of a ‘see you later’. It is very difficult to pronounce well if you’re not Spanish or a consummate linguist but it is a phrase you could easily use 8 times a day, when leaving friends, leaving a shop, leaving any kind of appointment…

2. No pasa nada – literally ‘nothing happened’, it means don’t worry, that’s fine, it’s ok – the kind of space-filling platitude that is just so useful. Someone bumps into you, drop the British apology even when it is your fault, just say ‘no pasa nada’.

3. Una mesa para cuatro/dos/ocho por favour – ‘A table for 4/2/8 please.’ The easiest way of making a reservation without knowing how to conjugate the verb ‘to reserve’ or pronounce the word for reservation!!

4. Chao – This is not the Italian ciao. This is our own Spanish chao that also means goodbye. It is particularly useful on the phone. Again, no need to hang up with a ‘Bye’, nicer and cooler with a chao.

5. Question: Algo más? This means anything else?  Answer: No, nada más or just no gracias – I have seen countless non Spanish speakers befuddled at a deli counter with this. They get through the cheese choosing and salami sourcing with pointing and thumb finger movements to indicate quantity but when all the items of the shopping list are ticked off and the charcutera says ‘algo mas’, the non-Spanish speaker freezes. Is the answer yes or no? Further complicated by the other option which is for the charcutera to say ‘todo?’ This means ‘is that all?’, which of course requires the opposite answer. So note this, when you have finished shopping:

Question: algo mas?  - Anything else  -   Answer: no nada más  -  No nothing more
Question: todo?  - Is that all   -   Answer: si!  - Yes
You can say gracias after both these answers but you really don’t need to.

Tijuana's Hong Kong Club

If you have ever been to the Hong Kong Club of Tijuana then you know what I mean when I say that a visit to the iconic strip club - bordello is priceless. That said, by contrast the cost of partying in the Hong Kong Gentleman's Club is much much lower then any strip club in Southern California, any other state in the U.S, and especially a fraction of what the cost is of partying in a strip club in Las Vegas. Most importantly, let's not forget that in Tijuana's Hong Kong Club the ladies are not teasing, they get intimate.

Hong Kong Gentleman's Club

The hundreds, and I mean hundreds of exotic Latina babes of HK of Tijuana are super friendly. The lap dances are full contact and are available in the bar, in V.I.P areas, and in private Lap Dance Rooms at a cost of $20.00. Better yet, an intimate time with one of the very beautiful babes at Hong Kong is only $60.00 plus $10.00 for the room in the lavish Hotel Cascadas. Add the impeccable service by the wait staff, and the killer ambiance of the club. All of this makes HK Club of TJ a winner.
