safer in Ensenada?
Hello All,
You guys think Ensenada is a lil safer then TJ and Rosarito quite possibly because of the armed forces here?

There are plenty of armed forces in Tijuana. I just think it's the nature of the beast. TJ is the capital and at the border. This is wear the drug
cartel is so it's naturally going to have more conflict of forces.

I have yet to hear of any kidnappings in Ensenada in my four years, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened

I feel perfectly safe when we are in Ensenada, however, I also practice personal security precautions just as I do in Reno.

I think he was just trying to say the capital is Mexicali. Probably a good thing. Tijuana is already a beehive of activity.

Do some research. |
This may help you to keep up with current events unless, of course, you have access to the Mexican news.

That was in the center of town. Probably nothing more than local copycat vandalism or a love spat. What serious motive could it have? Had it been
an expert placement, it would have exploded, seriously.

I subscribe to Google News 'Tijuana', and according to news sources, there are approx. 45 kidnapping gangs in the Tijuana to
Ensenada corridor.

We live just south of Ensenada, do all of our shopping and business in Ensenada -- we don't feel threatened or worried in any way. No more than in
any place in the US. Lock your car doors, don't leave your purse in your shopping cart while you go off to look at somethng that catches your
eye...it's a great place and we LOVE it!

Sorry ElFaro, I meant it was the Baja's financial "capital". Good catch though!

Basically you just gotta be street smart.
Blend in the best you can.
Dress accordingly
Don't flaunt
Be vigilant
If you can't do that, don't go to Baja...or anywhere else (in or out of the US) for that matter.
