how to say
For pleasure ~ a very long time ago. I was young and with my father. I remember a taxi ride from hell, but that's about all.
For work ~ about 5 years ago. The company I worked for had a Maquiladora in Tijuana and I would go down and assist with desktop support (computer troubleshooting). I was nervous the instant we crossed the border and didn't relax until we crossed back over the border.
I hear so many horror stories about people being arrested for minor things and coerced into giving money. I remember hearing a story about an American who was in a car accident. He badly needed medical attention but they would not allow him to seek help until he paid money. He didn't have much, and essentially died.
You lose ALL your rights when you cross that border, so I have no desire to go down there. I'll keep my feet planted right here in the good ol' US of A.
David - where do you live?
