Havana

[JinaWrangler]

No problems at all. This is my 4th trip this year, and NEVER any issues. It seems getting through customs is even easier and quicker, than before covid. You do have to go online, and fill out an entry to Cuba form. That takes about 2 minutes and it's free. You will get a QR code to show the nurses, then you are on your way.

Just FYI, when I was there in August, traveling alone, the immigration flack at Jose Marti grilled me for about 10 minutes about the purpose of my trip before letting me through (this took longer because of my limited Spanish. Again, Cuban government, have English speaking immigration flacks FFS). I assumed he was just stalling me so they could rifle though my luggage, which did, in fact, arrive last on the carousel. He was basically asking me about the purpose of my trip, which I dutifully parroted as "support for the Cuban people. " he was asking me about "donations," which I assumed was a subtle request for a bribe. Then I realized he was asking me if I was some humanitarian bringing donated items and money to Cuba (which of course the Cuban government wants their cut of because they care about the Cuban people so much, LOL). I assured him I was not there to make donations to the Cuban people, at least not by his definition, haha. He also asked me how much money I was bringing in, which I low balled considerably.

It made me a little nervous and paranoid, but I got through OK, and met my casa hosts, bought my Cubacel SIM, pre-paid ATM cards, and cervezas why agua (all at or near the airport) and I was on my way.

Oh, interesting! Is it the one on the corner of San Miguel and Galiano? Their website makes it look like a normal bar, but are there working girls there too?

I've heard that the Cuban Art Factory is another good club to try. Do you have any insight as to what happens over there? Do the girls in clubs ask for more than street girls? How much should I pay for a quick fuck or an overnighter? Thanks.

Not familiar with club VS, might check it out if you or someone else post about the location.

As far as FAC (fabrica del arte cubano) it's a place where it's mostly a place to take a date, not so many working girls there, although I've seem some there too. Lots of single girls in the joint.

This place is highly recommended if you have some game, even if that's not the case it's quite an experience to check out.

After all, Obama and his entourage made a visit back in 2016, so you know the place is happening.

Let's know your experience when you come back.

Saludos.

That's the name of the club, VS.

Good to hear! Maybe an elementary question, but what does VS stand for?

Just returned from a 2 night trip to Havana. Once again did not disappoint. I was just there in August, so not much changed, just docent Chicas to choose from and the exchange rate was even better, 250 cup to $1 usd. There was plenty of options of women, and even the Malecon had some choices late night on Monday. VS was jamming until 5 am on Sunday night, with a ratio of about 3 to1, women to men.

Don't let the Debbie Downers on this board discourage you, Havana is a GREAT time!

Chris did you have any issues with transportation in and out of Cuba?

I may get back to Havana but my contacts have all disappeared since Covid.

You might not like my comment, but I don't know what is "hypocritical" about them. Spanish is universally taught in US schools BTW. Many countries teach English, because they want to trade with the USA. Every commercial airline pilot is expected to speak English because that is considered the universal language of air traffic. And yes, the one country that complains incessantly that the US has an embargo that is 90 miles away would be better served if its inhabitants spoke and understood English. Of course it is much easier for the Cuban government to mislead their populace if they can't read western news (E G, Cubans in Florida love Trump, but Cubans in Cuba do not).

Anyway, yes they should teach English in Cuba if they want English-speaking tourists to go there with their US greenbacks!

Same reason Americans should learn Chinese I guess. It would be economically good for them to do so.

Wow! Just wow. Questioning why English isn't taught in Cuba. I love Americans and how they think everyone should speak English.

Just back from the weekend about, San Rafael's loaded with girls as is the rest of all Old Havana. Just be friendly and approach whoever you're interested with a smile. All the girls were super nice and none more expensive than $40.

Do you pay them in US or in CUP, and the 40 is after market conversion?

In my last short report. I talked about not getting any action. That last night I scored. She still tries to call and text me now even tho, I haven't seen her in 5+ days now, and I'm home now. I used the app BADOO. Make sure you download it now. My friends couldn't do it there. This is where all the girls are. Nothing on Tinder, so there's no point. The amount of matches and girls writing me was crazy. Once I left Havana, I left so many on open because there was no point. I have never been close to matching with so many girls here in the US. I will say this before we get too deep. Most girls are not working girls. They will still love to go out on a date or maybe a club or two. I stayed near Club Johnny in an Airbnb. Every girl knew where that was. That might be a hint to stay there, just saying ha. One of the first girls I matched with was hot. But my friend does not pay for it. So we gave them up. After that I thought every girl was working, so I was straight up asking every girl. That caused a lot of them not to text back or just say no. Even these two super hot twins. Got me sick just thinking about it. If you don't want to pay for it, then that will work. My older friend speaks Spanish and he gets every girl's number he talks to. Crazy. He fuck a few and even took a girl to the hotel in Varadero. I will talk more in that report. Like many said to me in earlier reports. Learn as much Spanish as possible. I used Google Translate which was fine, but it was just different if you know Spanish. It will be so much easier. I didn't get much time to go downtown but when we did, the amount of hot girls was crazy. Next time around I will be down there more clubbing. Most of the girls you can go up to and talk to. I saw my friend do it the whole trip. This report is getting long so I wrap it up. Havana Cuba is a gem waiting to be seen. Every girl can be walked up to and talked to. Most girls are not working girls in the way of Thailand or the DR, but if they're single and if they like you, that will probably be the case. You can take them out for dinner or a club. Maybe they are working so they want money or a gift.

I met a girl on the app. She stayed with me from 1 to 6 in the morning. We had fun in the pool, we drinks tons of beer, played a little pool, and of course, fucked everywhere in that house. Only paid 80 USD. 40 went to the taxi because this girl lives so far away it was fuck stupid how far this girl came for me. Then the rest to her. I also gave my Kit Kat to her. She went crazy for them. If you thinking about going to Cuba, JUST GO. Learn some Spanish or be like me. Do nothing but swipe all day then set something up. Get the data for your phone on day one. There wifi FUCKING SUCKS. All the food we had was good. Stick to whole fish and pork. You be alright. Have a beer. Everything tastes good drunk haha. If you're from the US. Only cash works. Cash is king. And have a hell of a time. I'm going on three cruises in the next year so PM me if you want to talk because I will be in a different forum now since this trip is up.

Thanks to everyone who gave me so many tips on Cuba before coming. You guys are the real G for that. Thanks again. Cheers.

Water should be no problem if you plan a little. Find out where the closest stores to your casa are before you travel (you guys should post whereabouts you are planning to stay, instead of asking general questions about Havana provisions, so some of us can help to guide each other). There is a nice little store across the street from Jose Marti Airport that has water, beer, and rum (it might be challenging while toting luggage, but my casa hosts were with me).

I don't have anything in mind yet. My buddy and I are planning a trip in March / April and it's down to Havana or DR. I'd much rather Havana, but at the same time, I don't want to have a bad time not being able to eat or get drinks. I'm not really a fan of the touristy restaurants. I like wandering around and just stepping into some random restaurant at midnight for "2nd dinner". There's a restaurant at the other end of the block of La Floridita that I've always liked. I was just wondering if restaurants still have their full menus or if they're down to 2 dishes or something and you get what you get.

I've always had a great time in Havana. As for girls, I've always rented places that had no problems with "visitors". Like you said, if the ad doesn't say anything, its probably ok. I've also learned to look for places that state "the entire space is for your use" or something along those lines. Then I know I'm not renting a room in someone's house and I don't have to feel awkward making crazy monkey noises at 3 am.

It's funny how Cuba will give free education to the doctorate level, but not teach English in schools. I get the FU to the USA thing, but Spain is the country that turned you into a colony. Maybe the government thinks if they teach English to their citizens they'd be even more likely to want to leave. Regardless, I'd say 1/10 girls know some rudimentary English, but don't count on it. They get it mostly from US music (I was stupefied to learn that one of my favorite young Cubanas had a Queen song on her phone!
