that is true. But then many of them still retain their culture in that case. An influence of white, yellow, black, etc non-mexican was what I was talking about.

I wish there were a better census kept. Most people you meet that live in TJ are not from TJ at all or are 1st genereation TJers. I'd like to know where the majority of Tijuananenses are from?

After 7 years trying to get down south of the border I have finally made it to TJ. WELCOME TO ME ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Im going to get some FISH TACOS, TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS.

Ok, So I thought it would be cool to reply to my 1st post to let you know that I am moving back to the US, not far just a hope, skip and jump across into SD. That was the original plan when we moved down here and we are finally going to make it.
We have spend 3.5yrs here in TJ and it has been great. It adopted me as if I were one of its own, anyways we were able to save and pay off our extensive debt to where we are (ZERO) in debt with the exception of vehicle. We were able to save a bit more and finally purchase a home in SD after 7 months of looking and putting offers down, I hope to finalize everything by Friday. No more crossing to take my boys to school and then go to work and deal with the insane traffic back into TJ everyday. Thank you ALL for the info while I transitioned to TJ. I will still be hanging out here, but just wanted to share.


Thanks
HR
