I'll be heading off to TJ two weeks from tomorrow.

Do you want to talk about your beautiful country, family, or dog? Would you like to say where you went on holiday or how you arranged the garden? Are you willing to tell us you girlfriend left you for a(nother) loser? Do you have ANY non knife-related topic you want to discuss? This is the place!

I'll be heading off to TJ two weeks from tomorrow.

Post by Fishtail Picklock »

This time I'll be spending about 29 hours, 50 minutes on the Greydog. Getting there is half the fun and the warm weather of northern Mexico has its appeal. I'll be stopping by the El Girasol (The Sunflower) gift shop to chat with Liza (the owner) and chat. The food and museums are great and the streets are always interesting (I'm going to eat more Chinese food for which the city is justly famous).

Since I'll be on the bus, I may find one of the "out the front" knives disguised as a pen. ($8-10) on the market.

Does anyone have any (legal) requests?

I understand that Tijuana used to be the source of most of the Rizzos coming here, but do they still sell switchblades there?

Yes, they still sell a bunch of cheap Chinese switchblades there (there are very few that we can't get here in the states).

Sammy: No, I have no interest in Mexican women. My reason(s) it that it is warmer, cheaper (food, lodging, entertainment, the beach) are all less expensive to access. I can blow off firecrackers without getting in trouble, (Yes, I am a big kid at heart). I'll be looking up another museum near the Zona Norte (Prostitution Zone). I'm in it for good, clean, cheap fun.

It is great to walk the boardwalk and duck in for some great food for a good 70 pesos ($3.71 USD).

Last, but not least, I am tired of the cold.

I would love to see pictures of what knives they do have for sale. It would be great if they did have some old Rizzys! lol

Tom: It is all the Chinese stuff that sells on Blade Play for $15 -$20. Trust me, I'll be looking for a few "specialty items" but I don't have much hope.

The last Spanish Fly I saw in August was fighting a Kissing Bug from Guatemala over a Central American refugee. :o :P

Rita will do it all for a Snickers bar, and twice if you throw in a bottle of Coke.

Ah, hanging on the Playa, eating great food, listening to the mariachis, taking in the salty air. Believe me, people. When you can do this all day for $15.00 + propina (tip) you are in a haven of rest that has no downside.

These are life's simple pleasures that you can enjoy without feelings of guilt or watching over your shoulder. Sweet, cheap, wholesome fun.
