Tijuana has never been my cup of tea, I prefer more laid back resort areas in Mexico where you don't have drunken Americans falling on you in bars. I think that most people realize that there are way better places to visit on the Baja penninsula and probably skip the border town altogether. Not so when you are a 19 year old college student hopping over for a weekend of under-age fun. Unfortunately, these kids are getting caught in the crossfire of one of the worst drug turf wars to hit the area ever. 685 have died this year, 300 since september.
In this economy plenty of Americans are still buying the cocaine, heroin and crystal meth that comes across the border every day which makes it one of the most lucrative spots for drug smuggling cartels and one of the most dangerous places in the Western Hemisphere.
Skip Tijuana and raid your parents liquor cabinet. You'll get in trouble but you won't be dead.
