Havana

[MadisonGuy]

Has anyone here paid off a cop, or had a girl tell them the amount to pay off one? Planning a trip there and just looking to find out what the norm is. I'm not a cut and run guy if I found one I like I'm ready to pay to keep her, just making sure I'm not paying too much.

Looks like Cuba will lose lots of tourists with these bullshit arrests. Their culture is all about sex and partying and yet they enforce this shit as if they are in Saudi Arabia. Every music video you see of Cuba is all about pussy, tits and ass. Those commies seem confused.

My thoughts exactly, a place full of corruption, pussy, excess to those with authority, parties, blah blah blah.

Three arrests gets the girls three years. Guaranteed.

True. I recently spoke with some firends and taxi men living there. I was said that this enforcement is not only speaking or BS. They really act. No kidding.

I am new to this board and read a few pages back on Havana. I was there in early July with my wingman and stayed in a nice apt in Vedado only a few blocks from Hotel Melia Havana. We only speak broken Spanglish and rely on google translate. We were approached at 10-11 pm A couple of times while walking one block away from the Malecon. You probably could find jiniteras in that area but they fear the police and approach when no one is visible around. Word of caution, the jineteras can and do steal if you're not watching your stuff. My wingman, had 100 CUCS under the book by his bed which disappeared as well as some vitamins and sunscreen. If you're not interested in hard core putas, the general advise to start out with an "Hola, como estas" is always valid, if they don't answer you move on. If they do, find something to talk about, like do you know "where, what, which" nearby and then invite them to coffee, restaurant, apt, etc. If they accept, then high probability of scoring. We saw a nice chica walking by and a quick "Hola" and a conversation about the food quality at a restaurant on Calle 1 ra led an unforgettable session that night. She didn't mind a little p4 p. Once my wingman said Hello, to a cashier at the govt owned store and invited her over. Though not very attractive she was awesome in the sack and didn't expect any money at all, just gave her some women's lotion. Police can harass the girls without a doubt. And we experienced it first hand. On Sunday night after a few hours of rest upon arrival, while walking the Malecon saw two young girls sitting on the barrier wall with a rum bottle drinking. A smile and Hola revealed she is celebrating her 21th bday with her friend. Long story short we ended up taking a taxi to go to El Capitolo to a fancy club / restaurant. Around 1:00 am After a few Heineken's and some food we were walking to taxis and girls were stopped by the police. They asked for their IDs but we weren't even approached or had to show anything. Soon shouting and the girls protests and crying they're not putas. Police didn't even say anything to us. The girls were finally let go because one of them saw her cousin among the police officer who intervened on her behalf after scolding her for hanging out with extranjeros. We let go of these chicas because we felt like we were being fleeced. They called but we said no.

Having travelled throughout Latin and Asian countries I wouldn't rank Havana as a top destination but I would rank Cuban chicks as very passionate in bed if they like you. For me it was a one time visit and there are too many other places to visit.

A friend of mine was just in Havana and said the situation has become more difficult over the last year. Three arrests gets the girls three years. Guaranteed.

Hey,

I have to agree with what Uncle V and Catire mentioned on their posts.

Even if your Espaol is somewhat lacking your initial "hola" goes a long way to get you to 1st base (again as mentioned if she's interested).

From here you can always go with your phone translation app which I'm sure this will arouse her curiosity, then it's up to you once you get on base, LOL.

Remember, as was mention previously to check out the joint on Neptuno & Galiano, I think it's called Delirio Habanero. Even though I've never been there I've heard good things about it.

Mondo.

Thanks, guys. I will check in again before my trip for any updates. I go to Cuba again in about one month.

A good friend will be in Havana / Guanabo for two weeks from September 28th. I have given him good advice, but read here that it is more difficult to find hot young ladies than before. As a result of police fear.

My friend is a first timer and can not expect help from the casa people. Is there anyone who can recommend a cool wing man who is pretty much to trust and have good contacts with young girls hungry for extra money for good service?

Or someone who is up to date on clubs and can hang out with?

[Ty Down]

Looks like Cuba will soon have nationwide internet available very soon. Hope it's ready by November!

YEah, I was just hoping for a few names of drinking or gathering spots. I speak good spanish and know Havana well, so I realize centro is, well. Centro.

Any suggestions will do, centro or not. What are the best spots these days!

I have nowhere near the experience that you do but after 3 trips my impression is that the best option is to try to chat up girls in the street and public spaces. Be polite and try to strike up a conversation. Invite her back to your place for a drink. And don't be a dick and press the issue if she is not game. Unlike the US women won't get offended if an interested guy approaches them, as long as he is nice, not rude or lewd, and doesn't' backs off once they signal they aren't interested.

Remember because of the LE situation girls are shy and scared to approach even if they are interested in a bit of p4 p. So it is up to you to make first contact.

In Centro and other areas be on the lookout for the parks and other places that have wifi. This kind of gives you an "excuse" to be there and hang around. I almost always get inviting looks and catcalls from girls even when I am there just to check my email.

How's your Spanish?

I don't think there are many "places" in centro from a touristy / or club standpoint. (I could be wrong on this, but I don't think so).

If you venture inside, away from Malecon, you will find no tourists, big streets and a rather non descript, somewhat commercial looking environment. (at least in area where I walked around).

If you're a confident and ballsy individual, chat the women up. I suspect you will find some amenable ladies.

But with respect. , if you think you can just walk around asking how much. I suspect you will soon learn otherwise. For the chat up approach to work, your Spanish will have to be adequately conversational.

if you're looking for more "jinietera" types, hit the bars/clubs in Miramar (e.g. El Miyo y El Tuyo there are more such as this one) but don't expect La Gruta prices from the women in there.

Last time I was in Havana (and it's been a couple of years), the taxistas were telling me the Miramar places were where all the "action" was at. (from a Cuban partygoer standpoint)

Gentlemen, I have been going to Havana for about 20 years starting when I was around 20.

Obviously things have changed in this "scene," but I'm not here to cry about it. I love the city.

I have a question for all of you who know the city:

What are your favorite establishments / neighborhoods / etc for picking up ladies?

The obvious ones, La Rampa and Malecon, bore me at this stage. And Havana Vieja is fine, but I think centro would be best.

I am asking for a selection of the best daytime and nighttime places in centro to pick up ladies?

Thanks!

Hopefully it will return to the way it used to be.

I was there last night, any action, only couples or groups.

Is anybody in La Habana this days? PM.
