Havana

[Mondo707]

You would be sent back AFTER your sentence is over. Anyone (specially foreigners) engaging in any way with drugs in Cuba is an idiot. If you think jails are bad in your country, in Cuba they are worst, Alan Gross before and after picture would give you an idea of what a 5 years in jail there could do to you, but then again, drug users are not the sharpest tool on the shed!

Well maybe since you said you are a Cuban national they'd put your ass in jail. That I don't know, however, if you are a foreign national they'd put your ass back on the plane and sent you back where you came from. I know this first hand from someone that happens to have brought some recreational drugs and was caught red handed lying while trying to go thru customs.
Moral of the story: why risk your fun times in Cuba.....is not worth it.

LOL, this video is a joke.

No, it's not! The guy is telling what happened to him, and I believe him. Most of those in power there are prone to abuse their power, specially against black people. There was a case where THREE YOUNG BLACK CUBANS were executed ONE WEEK after they tried to hijack a ferry to come to USA and there was nobody injured! (you can Google it), you can bet that their skin color sealed their fate.

Of course that the police won't mess with you as long as you stay within the line but you can bet a few "pesos" that they know where you are and what you're doing all the time.

It is not nice of you to try to mock Marwa, who seems like a nice dude, after what he went through. Once again, as someone who was born in Cuba, I believe him!

Late weighing in here, but I'd be careful with drugs in Cuba. The authorities are pretty strict on this kind of thing.

That said, I've hung around with some Cuban musicians who were smoking up almost constantly. But as a foreigner, best advice is to use caution.

As far as racism, it's very much present in Cuba. I've had several occasions where my Casa hosts said it was OK to bring in girls, "but no Negritas. " I'm not sure where the dividing line is on that as a lot of Cubans are mixed, but the statement struck me.

Unlike USA, in Cuba (and other countries), the mixed ones (with chocolate) are not considered negros / as (blacks), so the dividing line would be obvious, no dark skin.

Hey,

TBH, I had a hard time connecting the dots since the accent threw me off understanding and following his rhetoric.

I would never take any drugs into Cuba since I know authorities there would put one back on the plane to wherever they came from if found carrying drugs into Cuba...

Didn't know cRAcK was so easily available in Cuba, every where I travel the costumes officers also ask some basic questions, whining is a great word, but to a new level, hope the "trip"he's on gets better!

Racism? Yes, there is some racism in Cuba, but nothing like here in the States. Other countries, of course. Being black carries a burden in many places around the globe for sure.

One last thing, if I understood correctly he complained about being "questioned" for over 1/2 hour, right? Well, if one comes from Colombia via Mexico to visit Cuba that would set off a bunch of red flags for any custom agent who's handling you, being black, white, or any other ethnicity you can think of.
Guess you can understand where I'm coming from, right?

I completely agree with your post. In reality, I get asked the least amount of questions in Cuba, compared to other countries, including my own, USA.

LOL, this video is a joke. Don't allow this BS to discourage you from enjoying the greatness of Havana. Now, I am not African, but I am black, and I have NEVER had any of the issues, this dude is whining about. Matter of fact, we have never felt threatened or intimidated by the police. The first time we was in Cuba last year, when we had the party with 30 girls, an officer came over on his motorcycle, to check things out, and wind up leaving with 1 of the 30 girls.

Havana is a wonderful place, with even better people. It may be possible, that Kenyans are discriminated against in Cuba, but in my eyes, black is black, and people are going to be racist towards the skin color, not the nationality.

Yes, Habana is a wonderful place, and wonderful people, but I don't think his video is a joke though. I have been to Cuba many times and I have been harassed. Er, correction, my chica has been harassed by the police on more than one occasion, which wound up impacting me because I'm the one who has to pay, bribe the police with my money. BTW I'm a white guy from the USA, not that it makes any difference, but I find that Cuba is a pain in the ass when you want to take your chica ANY WHERE, whether it be a restaurant, the beach, stroll down the Malecon or wherever, it's a fucking hassle. Last time we were harassed, we were in Old Havana at a nice restaurant, the police were waiting for us when we exited the restaurant, fucking assholes scared the shit out of my date, turned into a major scene.

It's shit like this that has me looking for other destinations, Colombia is next.

It's a damn shame too. Havana is a great place, I can leave my house at 6 am in the morning, and be in Havana for lunch. WTF.

[Chris H]

This guy in attached video is in Cuba right now, he says he has been harassed by the police on a daily basis. He has some really good video's of Colombia and other mongering areas.

Like I posted a few months ago, my chica in Cuba told me the new Presidente was going to crack down on the girls coming to Havana.

I'm going to Colombia in a couple weeks instead of Cuba. Apologies for the poor sentence structure but got a hangover this morning. Hope you guys get my drift.

No reports for the past few weeks? WTF! No one chasing pussy in Cuba these days.

TTM.

I appreciate all the suggestions guys. Excited about this trip, took me a week to convince my Latin Spanish speaking friend to go. When I'm as American looking as they come and only know getting laid Spanish. Now he's excited too. I just want to confirm hotels are not lady friendly? Also are there any good massage joints, not necessarily happy ending just like good cheap massages? Found one ad online where I'm guessing they come to you. Haven't had luck with any dating sites that have any girls I find attractive over there. I guess there's a bit of luck to Havana visits.

I can only speak about central Cuba in this regard, but my experience is that women that do massages are older (maybe 30's) and less attractive. Casa owners are a great resource about where to find a "novia" or "querida". My experience is Cubans are less helpful when you ask about P4P. Your options increase dramatically if you offer the the chica plausible deniability about being a "mujer de la calle".

A casa owner advised me not to do this. The authorities monitor internet / social media in Cuba. You could get the chica arrested.

I doubt they can monitor private messages between 2 parties.
