Before you come into the room

Research Research Research

Before asking any questions, I recommend you do these three things first.

  1. Read Brockton O'Toole's FAQ  three times to learn the basics of getting to TJ, doing your busines and getting back out with skin and wallet intact.
  2. Go to these Websites:

    3.  
    1. WWW.TJHombre- Currently the most active board with a boatload of current info on the ladies of Adelitas Bar, Chicago Club, Hong Kong Club, et. al.     FREE
    2. http://tijuanatours.baja.com/-A new board Operated by Juan. A new source which bears watching

  3. Lurk for at least one session. Introduce yourself (real name not necessary), sit back and see how the people interact.

Questions

These are some of the most commonly asked questions in the ASPT chat room.

  1. Who's the best girl to go with?

    2. This is usually the first question a new participant asks when he gets into the room. Remember research? It's better to come in with a question about a particular lady. Besides in a room of 10 regulars you could easily get 10 different answers. I've always thought it best to go into the club and go with someone who starts your engine.

  2. Is it safe?

    3. If you're asking this exact question, you haven't read O'Toole's FAQ. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do NOT collect $200. Okay, is it safe to walk around TJ in general? TJ is NOT Disneyland safe. A mugging can happen lightening quick even in broad daylight, so it is not a good idea to let your mind wander. This is a sure invitation to be jumped on.  Always be aware of your surroundings and spread your money out in different pockets.

  3. When is the best time to go?

    4. The smartass and correct answer would be when the ladies are there.  It would depend on which club you are most interested in. Hong Kong and Chicago are best Tuesdays thru Saturday after 9pm. Adelitas is opens with a modest selection around 11am and starts to fill up around 2pm  (lord I love this place).

  4. How much should I pay?

    5. This one has caused sleepless nights. The conventional wisdom has been $40 for AB and $50 for CC including $10 for the room (30 minutes). There are those who feel these amounts are overly extravagant and say we should be bargaining more. Who's right? I haven't got a clue. I'm sure that there are techniques that will help you reduce your cost...if that's what is important to you.

  5. Do any of you have pictures and could you email them to me?

    6. Don't be surprised if you get the chat room equivalent of deafening silence. Pictures are usually traded between people who know each other or have established identities in the room.  If they say "no", don't push it. You're gonna have to earn their trust.

  6. Can I meet up with one of you to show me the ropes?

    7. Most of the guys who hang out in ASPT started out going all by themselves, so you know it isn't exactly brain surgery (no offense guys). For that reason meeting in the Zone is more of a social function than one of survival. Most don't mind hooking up with participants from the room for the purpose of sharing drinks....NONE want to hand hold a newbie thru his first Zona "date".

    You might want to check out Juan's Tours. He does offer personal tours. If you are particularly nervous as a first-timer, this might be the way to go.


Summation:
The bottom line. Do some research before you come into the room. We don't mind giving a bit of advice but it shouldn't be on something that is already well published.
