I traveled to 20 different countries during the height of the pandemic. I went from being yelled at by elderly women for not having a mask on on the street in Italy, to flying to Sweden where no one was wearing a mask. At one point I took a flight and it was just me and 5 other passengers on the plane. There was more crew than passengers. I can't believe they even flew the plane. No way it could've been profitable. It was unreal.

[@gasaul5759]

The hotels were not full, usually they only receive couples who will spend a couple of hours there👀, so they can rent the same room several times in the same night. That's why you only got a room when you were accompanied by someone else. By the way, in that part of the city there are people who party all night until 6:00am.

Only if we knew each other, I could’ve made a better plan. I’ve been to Tijuana plenty of times and learn something new every time. It would’ve been easier to pay for a budget airliner such as Frontier to San Diego and make sure you get there early evening or afternoon.Make sure you book a hotel room online first though before the plane trip. Once you arrive at the San Diego airport, take a free shuttle to Old Town to hop on the blue line trolley for only $2.50. Once you arrive at San Ysidro, exchange your dolllars into pesos, then cross. The hotel(s) I usually stay at are Cascadas and Rizo de Oro which costs around $70 on weeknights.

Mexico is an enticing place to visit. Cheap, with lots of good food, sights to see and things to do. On the down side, parts of it can be dangerous as hell! Been there a few times but hesitate to go back with all the crime and violence

I am not surprised that you were yelled at about your mask. People in Calif. aren't as "laid back" as they are purported to be. I lived there for 30 years.

[@Skepticismistheway]

Funny to when you look at the studies by John's Hopkins that showed masks and mask mandates had no impact on transmission rates

[@TheUtuber999]

Maybe they were not born and raised in California.

[@vandamme6379]

How would you even measure that? I mean in the UK it was obvious by just wearing a mask in a room the infection rate was lowered. It’s simple science. Californians might be dicks but masks were making a difference to infection way before Covid. There’s a reason doctors have always worn them in mass population countries. 😓 Social media has ruined the human race. The fact you actually think masks weren’t useful says it all.@@Skepticismistheway

Dud, I just subscribed to your channel, and I hope you get to more than 1M subscribers. Your content is great! Watching this video and seeing you not able to find a hotel makes me feel frustrated, too!! I think it is better to book before travel, especially out of the USA, it could be kind of dangerous to be walking late night on a place that you really don't know, safety always first! Good luck.

One time in college I was partying in Tijuana and we took the trolley there. Last call I think for the trolley to take you back was around 2 am so we start walking back to the trolley stop to bring us back to San Diego. Then the power went out. And the zombies came out. Walking back to the trolley stop in pitch black with my friend was the eeriest experience I've ever had, absolutely terrifying. I just remember laughing and gunshots and fireworks going off, people screaming and screeching. No cell phone light back then, no nothing.

Never a good move to arrive in Tijuana on a Saturday without a reservation. Even on non holiday weekends, it's pretty much always a sellout. Especially by midnight. I arrived there a couple months ago at 2 PM. And I still needed to walk to 5 or 6 hotels in the downtown area before finding a vacancy. What was the name of the hotel that finally had room for you?

Bro, you cannot "wing it" in Mexico and especially in TJ. Rule # 1: Have the money to book a good hotel room in a decent area of the Zona Norte and BOOK IT ADVANCE! One of the safest hotels is Cascadas which is part of club Hong Kong who have the best security of anywhere in the Zona. You'll be close to all the action and have a nice safe room. Rule #2: DO NOT WALK!!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS take a taxi from the border. Don't be a cheap dead man!

Man, I didn't know that, I walked all over TJ. I took a taxi when I crossed the border, but I was on foot after that.

@@richardweiler6931 thanks Richard so you wouldn’t recommend traveling solo? What if I stayed in San Diego and took a taxi to Tijuana ? Or is it better to stay in Tijuana hotel ?

[@richardweiler6931]

@@robbyx6846 I don't want you to think that Tijuana is the gateway to hell. Most visitors come to the city and never encounter a single problem. If you stay in the Avenida Revolucion tourist zone, the chances of encountering trouble are very very slim. But I've visited there for decades, so I stray off the straight and narrow path away from Revolucion. That's where money hungry cops will often spot you, stop you, search you and then claim that you committed some imaginary infraction that necessitates a fine or a trip to jail. It probably is better to have a companion if you're planning on walking beyond the tourist streets. Cops are less likely to hastle people in pairs. On Revolucion, being alone is fine. Cops never bother you there. A taxi ride from San Diego to the border is fairly expensive. Downtown San Diego is about 16 miles from the international border. You'll have to walk over since the taxis don't cross into Mexico. You'll also need a passport or passport card or else Mexican customs agents will demand $20-$30 as an administrative fee (AKA bribe). It's okay to stay in Tijuana around Revolucion. A nice hotel that just opened is Hotel Grand One Plaza on 5th street just off of Revolucion. Rooms run about $100 on weekends and $65 on weekdays. Other cheaper options are close by including Caesar's hotel at the corner of Revolucion and 5th. Rooms there are about $55. Best to make reservations for the weekend as hotels in downtown Tijuana fill up quickly.
