Tijuana

Last weekend in LA. Kyle Smith and I went over to Tijuana in Mexica to stay with his pal from North western, Ben Gilmore. ANother great weekend.

Tijuana is permanently overshadowed by the border fence. As border towns go its pretty rough and ready but with its own charm.









Ben and his Mexican girlfriend Renata took us out for some delicious and cheap meals at restaurants only a local would find.

We stayed both nights at Ben's Uncle's beach house in Rosarita. Ben has been living in Tijuana for a year brokering commercial property for his Uncle.






Visited Fox studios where Titanic and Pearl Harbour were filmed.




Very strong police and military presence in the city. Drugs, prostitution and kidnapping all major industries in the city.































Watched a boxing match at the Jai Jalaia stadium.
