CR seems pretty comparable to Tijuana. Can anyone who has been to both compare the two?
I went to TJ for the first time last Christmas. I just completed my fourth trip to Costa Rica. I thought I had preferred CR to Tijuana, but after seeing what has become of the scene in Costa Rica, I'm not sure why I'd continue to go there when Tijuana is much cheaper and easier to get to., and closer.
I'm not a fan of Hong Kong's in Tijuana, but there are other clubs. Also, the escort agencies in Tijauana tend to be really good and you will get guaranteed girlfriend experience with them. Can't say that about a lot of the girls in Costa Rica. Also, TJ has tons of hot girls on the streets, starting at around $20 dollars. They upsell for various extras, but it's still cheaper than a lot of girls in Costa Rica. Also, I am seeing tons of great looking talent on Skokka and mileserotico for Tijauana.
Like Costa Rica, it's helps to speak Spanish. Tijuana in my opinion is no more dangerous than San Jose. If you are not a drug dealer, are respectful, don't talk shit, and don't walk around drunk, odds are that you will be safe. Watch your back and stay in a classy hotel. Someone here mentioned the Hotel Ticuan. That's a good choice. I personally would recommend it.
Considering the state of Costa Rica and the way the scene there has deteriorated, why go through the trouble of going there when for many American guys, Tijuana is much closer?
Also, Tijuana is MUCH cheaper than Costa Rica, but then again, what place isn't?
