Violence up in Baja – especially for journalists
We can't sit here and classify TJ as being Mexico. There is more to Mexico than Tijuana. We have to remember that TJ is a border town, in which criminals from all over South America and Europe pass through in order to get to the States. Every border town is crap and filled with crime. TJ doesn't feel like Mexico to me, because of the influence of others and crime they bring. Those of you who do not want to step foot on Mexican soil until the violence subsides, stay out of TJ because it wont change...go to real Mexican cities and vacation spots, such as Puerto Vallarta (aka friendliest city on earth). I personally have never had a bad experience in TJ, I have found myself in awkward areas behind Revolucion where there are many crackheads and prostitutes...that was scary, but then again you don't see me going to Compton here or Skid Row to hang out. Just know where you are going, and if you want to travel to Mexico for that authentic experience, your best bet is going anywhere BUT Tijuana.— August 20, 2008 4:47 p.m.
