I guess one could argue that you can make the best out of any situation... or see the beauty in anything.. BUT all in all, Tijuana isnt the safest
and prettiest of cities to be in.. Sorry to "knock" TJ , but its the way it is... Chances are one would not feel comfortable walking alone at night
ANYWHERE for a long distance here in TJ no matter what area... MAYBE playas, but Im not sure... All I know is I NEVER felt like this in Acapulco..
and Honestly I thought Acapulco was a DUMP , a dirty city, which it is, BUT im sorry Comparing the two.. Acapulco is a diffrent ballgame..
Yes I know the press makes things sound bad... etc etc etc.. BUT how can one make 23 dead bodies in less than 24 hours with tounges cut out, sound
good?? Yes LA has a lot of killings, BUT not mass murder.. , this is diffrent, and dont compare because it makes no sense!
This is only my opinion that I got after only 3 months living here... I fought it tooth and nail.. ALL my friends, MEXICAN and american told me I was
crazy, and I argued and told them that any big city is dangerous, etc etc.. BUT those days are over.. I cant argue with them anymore.. This city is
not the safest, and this city is dirty... and this city is more corupt than other cities I have been to in Mexico...
Sorry to offend anyone!

Todo Santos is a lot scarier. Hundreds of tweakers and the place is overrun with self-important, bored Gringos who want to transform everything to
their dream-world of a quaint mexican village. Very Scary.

TS is a strange place, weird vibes, dangerous to your mental health as opposed to TJ, which can be dangerous to your physical health if you're
affiliated with drug dealers or the cops/politicans/jounalists or walking down dark streets.

BOOJUM TREES... you are in the 'real' Baja when you see Boojums (cirios)!
Actually, I also think you are in the 'real' Baja when you are off the pavement, too!

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between San Diego and Tijuana. This is the dimension of Baja. It is an area
which we call........."nothing to declare"............

You mean "Pueblos Magicos"????
