TJ looks so much nicer now than it did 20 years ago. You sparked my interest for sure 😊

This brings back memories. Thank you for the vlog.

David, Your fans are glad to see new content! Your new camera looks good at night. Dark shadows combined with multiple bright artificial light sources seems like a good test of it's low light capabilities. Focus and depth of field look good too for outdoor scenes.👍 Because you were able to post this video from it after wandering around a sketchy part of Tijuana alone at night, I think we can also conclude it's relatively theft resistant.😄

Im from LA and have been going to TJ for a few years now. It's about a 2.5 hour drive. I like going more to the beach city of Rosarito since it's small and walkable

I used to go myself with my Ex in the 80’s when living in LA. We used to spend the weekend there, about every six weeks. Stayed at the Fiesta Americana and had a great meal in our favourite restaurant. We also went down to Ensenada a few times and ate at El Rey del Sol! Awesome!

👍Long intro of GTA Tijuana. Stay safe and thanks for the video

Nice Videos David keep going!! Like your videos too much ❤ Greetings from switzerland 🇨🇭 😊

Great video, the new camera was money well spent. I used to hit up Tj with friends, rarely by myself, almost every weekend during '98-'02; we'd usually club hop between Margaritaville, Senior Magueys, Senior Frogs, Iguana Ranas, Club Bananas, and occasionally, the infamous (depends on who you ask) Club Adelitas. I'm certain that I'm forgetting a few, we were usually drunk before taking the cab drive to TJ. I don't think any of these clubs are still in business, it looks like HK is the newer/bigger Adelitas. Anyway, stay safe and keep up the good work.

Really Like This Video it really shows you how Tijuana is 👍

What new Camera is that David? Pocket 3? Internal or external mic?

you are in the commercial district calle segunda to be exact the district is Centro you are about two blocks east and south of zona norte the red light district, for the clubs and night life you would want to check out avenida revolution

I haven’t been in about 20 years but it was fun back then and we never got into anything too bad. I think it’s probably worse now than when I used to go. I enjoy the video brings back memories!👍

I watch over 300 videos on your channel. Great stuff. I've traveled alot and your advice is solid. You should walk and talk tours in Bogota and other Columbian cities besides Medellin.

How did it go?

This camera is much better Than your last camera

great video

How were you hiding your camera?

I used to go there when I was 18/19 back in the late 80's.

Love TJ, last time I was there was 2019, I crossed back into US with just my CA DL w/ no issues, still that way?

Great colors and resolution with the camera. I used to shoot New Orleans nightlife back in the late 90s to early 2000s, and used mini dv tape in a higher end Sony TRV 900. We could only dream of the quality you are getting, and with less expensive equipment. I suppose the risk there lies with getting caught in the crossfire of a cartel war. Odds of that would be quite small. Those clubs with girls would be carefully managed, and risks to tourists next to nil. It's refreshing hearing some varieties of music in this vid. Colombia's obsessions with reggaeton grates on my nerves quickly. Thanks, great vid and be safe.

Interesting video, as usual for you. Good commentary as well. Have you been to Mexico City lately? I would love to make a trip there. We used to go there when I was a child to visit relatives, and then again after finishing university. It became known as quite a dangerous place for various crimes, but not sure how it is now. Good luck with your film.

@ 6:45 to film with the osmo like you would a go pro or sony you need to change it to FPV mode. other wise it will stabilize the lens and keep it level.

Everywhere is dangerous but I been there Everytime it's safe for me though ... Go to Hong Kong , AdelitAs closed , Chicago club and tropical bar

We used to go to TJ, Rosarito Beach and Ensenada all the time back in the 80s. Long live 91X!

In my college years, approximately 02-05 we used to go down there every weekend. get a lil but of weak coka, a lady of the night and a bunch of tacos. Goid times until they kept arresting me and told me i couldnt ever come back

I use to walk alone there regularly from early 2000 to 2009. The polica harrassed me more than locals but one time 3 kids tried to surround me on the walking bridge but I split them up using the stairs and the one trailing me realized I had bad intentions when we got to the top... lol

The camera is 🔥🔥🔥

Been going since the late 70s. A lot in the 80s. Last time was 2015 or 16. Good times.

Just catching up with your vlogs. Somehow I knew you were working in Mexicali but I didn't want to spill the beans in the comments.

Seems like Tijuana is much safer than for example Medellin, or? I never saw you walking there at night with your camera.

Hello David, appreciate the video today, back in the day pre 911 we used to drive down from SoCal Orange County to Surf @ K38 Baja, Camp on the Beach and the locals charged $20 US to enter the Beach. Best of times was the place to be. My son now 21yrs works the Polaris Supreme Sport Boat out of San Diego, Blue Fin Tuna the Target. My fiancee is Cali Colombia we are heading to Florida soon...Keep up the video content. Thank you, Jackson.

What camera are you using here?

Camara is great. Go over to Zona Rio. Much better but the walk over from the Arch . . . at night . . . no. Zona Rio is full of commercial banks and better medical/dental clinics. The avenue, I forget the name is a series of classic traffic circles with large bronzes the last being Abraham Lincoln as you head south. If you continue in that direction you enter the area with the soccer stadium, country club, and more affluent residential areas. The other area that I would check out would be Playas out on the coast. The new camera is great but you walked through some interesting areas (aka sketchy). You were on the end of entering really bad areas before you found Zona Norte. That area just to the West . . . Is off limits if you like your things and your safety for sure. Be safe, my friend.

What do we look out for to make sure if and when you get a "date" with one of them, there is not a group of dudes waiting for you in that room?

Won't happen if you pick a girl who stands against the walls. A paradita. They're licensed and affiliated with the hotel they stand near. The danger is going with a "walker." A girl who strolls the streets, soliciting guys she encounter. Usually they're drug addicts, and anything can happen if you accompany them.

You must have concealed the camera in the Zona. The girls always turn away if they spot one. And it's dangerous to film openly in the ZN. A lot of guys there who don't wish to be seen on camera. Even the policia will use your filming as an excuse to hit you up for a mordida.

Everyplace should have a Zona Naughty 😀......time to rewatch the film Traffic 2000 again

Tijuana is like any other place in the world, if you hang around with the wrong crowd you will pay the price be safe my friend.

What is model of camera. Let us know!!!

David I DON'T FEEL this LIKE A GOOD PLACE. Even when he played ball with the boys in Medellin, the place seemed calmer there

You may seek comfort in the wings of a soiled dove, but you will not find it, the dumpsters hold bodies that are later taken to the dump to rest with the multitudes that thought they could have fun, scratch an itch, and were too smart for it to happen to them. No matter what is said after how much, the secret part and unspoken answer is everything that can be taken will be taken.

Someone told me that any animal just running loose can become a taco or burrito in minutes, He didn't laugh when he told me lol.

Tijuana is more touristy. Try going to Tamaulipas where I went and see what ya think. I went right after all the bodies were found hanging off the bridge there near Victoria

It is a dangerous place, but not for petty theft, like you said, not as much as other places Crime can happen anywhere, and Tijuana is dangerous mostly like you said for drug dealers and cartel activity. If you stay away from that you should be OK and you know it is the president of the arm guards, the national guards they are the ones that took over the federal police and these guys are helping the public so you should feel protected when you see them I would trust them a lot more than the Regular police 👮‍♀️ Columbia and Central American countries are a lot more dangerous but be careful anywhere you go and good job I go there all the time I’ve been fine thanks be to God

shoot some shots in Mexicali, the city I grew up in :D

Not the jailhouse 😂

Min 4:10 yuup your right. I usualy go for the ladies, i dont wonder around just straight to the destination. Spend money have fun and leave. I dont stop around

I found Mexico is like that when you leave a resort lol the police and military presence is what makes it feel mad uncomfortable to me

I used to go there too and it was a blast ! Semi safe almost got robbed but nothing really ever happened as far as getting harmed or the police throwing me in jail . Loved the clubs . $10 dollars all you can drink all night ! But now wouldn’t go there you will probably get robbed , killed or kidnapped!

Dude it's not that serious unless you stay there in that section don't go to the 6th Street go down to caliente to the perdomo where the nicer area is or go to Las playas the casino right there in caliente at the hipodramo is really nice zona Rio

😂 @ 10:57 some old white Dad/Husband was caught on video going to HK or leaving. 😂😂😂

Be careful there especially at night and with a camera even if fluent Spanish and of MEX heritage. I know someone on one of my "monger" boards who was seriously injured walking from the arch to ZN. He was assaulted by a group of 6. I cross the border, pick up the Zona shuttle to HK/Cascadas then stay in the small area especially at night. During the day I will walk down to the Cathedral and large shopping center. I like TJ but getting more expensive to play and since live in Texas can also get to Costa Rica and MTY efficiently. I still like Medellin Colombia and blend in with my basic Spanish and courtesy however giving it a pause for awhile at least for shorter trips. I might retire from my 9-5 job in the US to Cali however in 1-2 years where I can work remote! You know it is not as hot compared to Texas!
