For crossing the border--Otay Mesa Port of Entry is the nuts...not hard to get to and the border wait is a fraction of the San Ysidro cluster****. Actually I am not sure why anyone uses San Ysidro.

This is the route I take, and I think it's a little bit less confusing than taking MX1, which I have also taken to Otay.

Link in OP ain't working, anyone care to upload the info elsewhere?

Just caught up thru this whole thread, thanks for all the insight on Mexico. I'm living in San Diego now and plan on eventually splitting time between here and an office in Rosarito to grind on the weekends+ if I can find a good room coming up. I wouldn't make this post if I wasn't sure though.

If any other Rosarito smokers are gonna be in San Diego anyways and want to indulge on off days in cali bananas send me a pm. Not an ad, i've always shared and it would be nice to not be a complete stranger to your community when I start my search for a room.

I have only one reference on 2+2 that could vouch for me as to not being a scumbag and being serious about poker but he's a legit supernova sng grinder(was and will be again) that gave me a little booster when I had to withdraw all before.

I'm a 28/m/ca haha and would be grinding micro cash games 16nl+ while I work towards a 100nl-200nl roll goal. Don't want to derail this further after so before the micro lol's, keep in mind i'd be living in San Diego as well working a near minimum part time with healthcare. Then putting in insane volume on the weekends in mexico and more often when my br expands. Also dual wielding the CA fish when state legislation comes. tl;dr sorry...

Thank you. Yeah about 2 hours after I posted this I got approved

Anybody else have problems with telnor not working all day today?

working fine here, DCd for <1 min at one point this afternoon

mine was fine all day

Sorry if it's already posted but the thread is pretty long and I didn't see one when I skimmed through it. Thinking about heading to Mexico around June and I haven't been able to check out what I can rent down there very well. Anyone have a link where I can look at some pics of apartments/rental houses? Do any of you living down there have any one to recommend to someone who can show us around if we take a trip out there to look? Awesome thread and thanks for any info.

PM 2p2 name "miguel sedano" for an easy setup. he has helped alot of us and is as legit as they come. gl on the move.

Hello,

I grind MTT's and am looking to travel to Mexico and establish my citizenship. I speak fluent spanish and am looking for a steady grind house with other serious grinders.

US citizen from Los Angeles.

Thanks.

Hey guys, first post, long time player on stars, me and a friend that live in florida are already set up on stars but looking to move to the area, we just need to find a place and we each have dogs, 1 of them is large, if anyone knows of any places at the beach that allows dogs would love to hear the input, just sent a message to miguel as well hopefully he can help, look forward to meetin up with osme of u in the area(we are bigdog422 and golforejht72 btw....been goin on 2 week trips to cancun and canada since black friday occasionally but finally gonna do a permanent move)

do the places for rent on bajaopenhouse and baja123.com include utills? also, does anyone know anything about "bobby's by the sea"? thanks-

I'll get drunk, scream, and cheer for 90 minutes.

How big is the 2+2 group down there? Is soccer/basketball/other happening regularly? Def would be nice to get some exercise on a regular basis. Also, how long does it take to get to San Diego (including crossing the border)? Trying to decide between Rosarito/Buenos Aires and a couple other places. Safety/getting hassled by cops is also a concern. Some people make it sound like I'll be dodging bullets and getting framed for cocaine possession 24/7 and others tell me it's not a problem at all. Any input would be helpful :-)

got a bracket pool going for us its on yahoo $50 prolly get a higher one going too if enough interest send to uncfan11 stars pm me for group password

-Theres about 65 poker players now in Rosarito
-Soccer is working on being set up atm I think, basketball/volleyball happens on the reg
-Depends on the time you cross but usually will take about 3-6 hours including border wait to get to San Diego from Rosarito
-It is completely safe down here, nothing to really worry about

i got from sd train station to calafia towers in like 1.5 hours. rungood obv

BA > Rosarito

honestly I'd assume it's safer here though, simply because its a sleepy ass beach town

One guy got stopped for drunk driving on the wrong side of a closed road and paid like $120 i think to get out of it. All of us agreed he overpaid by about $100, locals and those of us that deal with cops alot alike. The same day I got 'caught' drunk driving and we had a bunch of weed they smelled, but I just said sorry and we're going home and we avoided a full on search, which may have cost $20.

Don't do coke, travel with weed, drive drunk, etc....and you won't have any problems. If you do choose to do these things, 99% of the time you'll be very glad you are in mexico if you get caught. I'm pretty sure stealing and crimes like that are extremely looked down upon, but anything victimless is relatively ok.

Basically just don't be a scumbag and have a morsel of street smarts and it's just as safe here as any other city in the US or western europe or anywhere.

If you don't need to be close to the USA then go to Buenos Aires. Trying to get soccer going but we need a place to play

Anyone got any tips on how they got stars to call their cell phone? For some reason they can't seem to get ahold of mine, last time I told them to add a 1 before it since I've heard that's how u have to do it for cell phones but they said they called some international operator and she said that the phone didn't exist... yet I call people with it and recieve calls etc. Any one else have trouble like this and figure out a solution? I'm stuck and got this phone like 99.5% for stars only so kind of lame.

the norm is that they only take landlines, no cellphones iirc. that may have changed, but not sure. maybe its why ur having a problem, do they know its a cell phone? try a skype phone#, works best imo and i had no issues. $18/3mos btw. gl.

they take cell phones

i just told them it was a cell and that they needed to add the 1 and it worked fine both times theyve called me

weird it's not working for u, sorry . inb4 operator error imo

Maybe my phone is whack, I called it once from my skype number and it worked fine with the extra 1 but tried again today and no go... que the fvck?

anybody doing much golfing while in rosarito?

Not yet, me and a few others are trying to hit up a driving range in a few days though. Haven't checked out any courses yet, but I'm hoping to soon.
