Mexico

We are back in vegas now but on the weekend we went down to Tijuana, Mexico on the us border. It was a bit odd just walking across the border to such a different country, there was no check when we exited the usa only on the way back in and we still have no idea what a mexican border security officer even looks like.
It reminded us a lot of asia, the place had the same sort of vibrancy and buzz as well as all the touts trying to pull you into their shop. Also as the legal age is 18 instead of 21 it attracts a lot of young americans in the evening who visit the red light and club district.
The part of town we visited seems to exist purely to cater to american tourists selling mainly pharmaceuticals, leather goods and mexican souvenirs.
We had lunch and I rode the mechanical bull then we wandered around for a few hours before returning to the usa with a bottle of tequila.
