I've been there just once, but that's what discourages me from going: how crowded it gets and the prices. And it's disappointing, 'cause it's the only convention in town. Everything else that isn't as hyped has to be far away :/
Um, I lived in TJ my whole childhood and most of my teen life, and it disappoints me when people tell me that TJ is dangerous when in all reality, it was American news sensationalizing what was really going on. In 07 and 08, it was a mess because there was a mass kidnapping going on, I agree to that. However, TJ's kidnap count has since dwindled to inexistence. The police force and the Mexican Marines have made themselves present in Baja state, so the city's much more secure than ever before. In fact, a lot of Americans have returned to TJ and have even been welcomed by the locals quite warmly. The night life is so charming there, that it can't be missed! I don't know where you've been to say that TJ is dangerous, because I've never run into any problems. Not before, not to this day. At least come back for our bomb tacos and tortas...
