I would like to know if you are interested in advertising your
business in our hard-copy magazine called Land's End Basic Survival
Kit Inside. The magazine circulates monthly and it's aimed at tourists
visiting Cabo San Lucas and the Baja peninsula in general.
Please take the time to review our past issues here:

You Nomads were right.... Cabo is just like any other massive tourist dollar sucking port o' call.
BIG CORPORATIONS WITH BIG CORPORATE DOLLARS! Yuck!
This ain't Baja. Get real!backninedan - 5-26-2005 at 12:38 PM
Hard copy mag?? there to slick to wrap fish in.Bob H - 5-26-2005 at 04:56 PM
Way wrong board for this stuff, huh?
For all the Baja tourists

Although I prefer the wilds of Baja, which you can probably see more remote areas than any other site at http://groups.msn.com/TheBajasBestGuidesPhotoAlbum, I also enjoy Rosarito and Los Cabos. They have plenty more entertainment to offer than
anything in the states and I assume this is why so many of you crowd up these places.
Guess why Cabo is so expensive? Because of you guys! Los Barriles is doing the exact same thing. If there are people that are either too stupid
or just willing to pay then why not!
But guys, to condemn or even form an opinion without spending time somewhere is very ridiculous. That's what a bunch of these clowns were doing
with Rosarito, because they passed through there once or read it in the gazoot. Shallow.
I used to say things like that about Cabo San Lucas but, after having spent a little time there, it has plenty to offer if you know where to look.
Ain't no changin it now

so why whine and snivel about it? I just need to make more $$ sos I can afford it!
It might be more ethical than

the Gringo Gazette (cough, not!).
But, I don't think so.

in the same thread? You better do some hail somethings Gypsy!bajaden - 5-27-2005 at 07:55 PM
Im not sure what this is about. I suspect that everyone has their own reason for where they want to be. I used to love Cabo. That dates back about 15
or 16 years. I know that many of you go further back than that. I know people that go there and love it . Most of them are on their first experience
to mexico. All that I used to love about it is gone. The dirt roads that I used to take to get where I stayed, are now paved. My favorite bar to hang
out in near the marina, is now a disco. Where the venders used to set up shop, is now a mall. The things I used to buy at the glass factory now cost
three times as much. I can't afford to eat at the Office anymore. Only Zippers seemed normal to me. I suspose those that live there have no choice but
to accept it. To those who don't know how it used to be, its probably wonderful. But to me, it now represents everything I ran away from.
Den....
Ethics and the news business

Well, JR,
When the subject comes up for me, all I can think of is that famous comment about sausage, something about "its wonderful until you find out about how
it is made".
In this particular subject, the ingredients are seriously rancid.
Or sell um

FWIW, the Internet Cafe a couple of blocks from here charges $10/hr.; I think La Paz average is about $15. Why is it so expensive in Los Barriles?
--Larry
Wow! Sounds like a good business to get into. Up here in Ensenada the going rate for internet is 10 pesos per hour with many places charging
just 5 pesos for a 1/2 hour.
Because my amigos,
jrbaja - 5-29-2005 at 11:39 AM
they can! And most of the people here don't care as they have obviously done well.
And as far as my prices go, they are a lot less than any of the other distrinbutors/manufacturers of bamboo items. And this is while I am still the
only person with a bamboo busines down here.
Seems pretty fair to me!
Because
jrbaja - 5-30-2005 at 09:10 AM
down here it costs a certain amount to get connected and then you stay connected for almost free. They give you a certain amount of time before you
have to pay and I have never gone over the free time in Rosarito. Even when I forget to disconnect.
I think that's what's going on in these cafes.pokey - 5-30-2005 at 09:24 AM

As for it being a good business to get into, at that price I wonder how these places can even break even, unless they have some profit product other
than the computers. Run some numbers...
--Larry
Ahh pesos. Yes, I believe it would be very difficult to turn a reasonable profit at those prices. I don't know about La Paz but here in Ensenada
there is a plethora of internet cafes. And not enough customers willing to spend 10 m.n. per hour. I suspect that most of the internet cafes here
are bringing in maybe 200 m.n. per day. Hardly a business worth investing in.
Here in Los Barriles
jrbaja - 5-30-2005 at 09:27 AM
the majority of people, (except on weekends) are gringos. Who need to stay in contact with wherever they are from. And, it seems as if the cafes are
an exceptionally good place for the P-nche gringos to whine to each other!
They stay pretty busy!
