Tijuana city roads, public transportation and Salvia divinorum

I won't like to live in Tijuana, maybe to work, but for nothing else. I'm from a relative little town, and I don't feel at large on this city. Fortunately, I'm just here for work purposes, and I can't wait to be out of here.

This is one of the worst developed cities,with a totally unplanned scheme. Instead of taking advantage of living next to the US, it's content by getting the leftovers of its neighbor.

Specially on cars, the commute system is the worst I've ever seen, I don't know a lot of cities (I've just travelled to some cities in California and some in Mexico) I can tell that Tijuana with few exceptions, has the most wrecked buses, cars and taxies of the whole planet. Something I've only seen on movies from places like China.

The roads are unbearable, there's a crack on every block, even in downtown. There are not road signs, and the streets are not painted, even to divide a two-way street.

One good thing is that dollars move around as well as pesos, for someone smart, it's possible to use one or the other to get the most of them.

I think it would be a great place to sell salvia divinorum, once this crisis pass.
