Area Around Hotel Inglaterra
If you come out of the Inglaterra Hotel and take your first right (walking along the street next to the hotel as it were) after about 50 meters you will see a bar with a load of girls hanging outside. The bar is called Nautilus. The girls were maybe 7's to 8's but really quite nice and maybe 10 girls in total. It was completely obvious and quite out in the open. If you dont see the girls hanging around outside then just go inside. This was about 8pm.
They invited me into the bar and aksed if I wanted to buy them a drink. I bought them ach a drink and also myself. At this point I was really thinking it was a scam as it was all too easy and they were rubbing my crotch in the bar with no fear of being sen or police or anything. Anyway i was expecting some rip off like pay for the drinks and the ils to sit with you ut actually it was no problem. Paid $10 for the drinks (total) and negotiated a price of $40 plus $20 for room with one of the girls. At this point I was very paranoid as the whle thing just seemed so easy.
So we walk up the street and go to a room and she asks me for another $20 which was annoying but no big deal. We were in a locked room with no means of exit or escape which i hate and always makes me paranoid. Anyway a long story short we did the deed, it was really great, great BBJ, great sex, not hurried and overall very enjoyable. I was paranoid and finished quickly to get out of there but actually i need not of been paranoid...it was just so easy and went down without any hitch whatsoever (apart from the extra $20).
Next time it will be much easier to negotiate armed with this knowledge and knowing that it is not a scam. Tonight I will try Roja and Cecilia.
Best Area Is Old Havana and Inglaterra Area
I was in Salon Roja last night and it was pretty limited in terms of action. I was there from 11pm until 12:30 and there were not that many girls in there and the ones that were looked really hardcore, cold and professional. Any interaction with these girls would be a real hassle by the looks of it. High demands and high maintenance. Just wasnt worth it in my opinion.
By contrast I was getting aproached every 5 minutes whilst walking around Old Havana at night. Decent looking girls too (didn't outwardly seem like druggie types) and all seemed ok with $40 for the girl and $20 for the room. Much less hassle too as the rooms are all within easy walking distance and right in the main tourist area so you feel quite safe. I have a distinct feeling that the girls have a lot more to lose than you if they get caught here and so the risk semed low.
All things considered I will give the discos and nightclubs a wide berth and stick to the streets of old havana and the area around Ingalterra (although I am slightly biased as I am staying in that area which makes things a lot easier)
