Some words are very specific to Cuba. They never say coche for car, but carro. They often don't pronounce the are and S, and pronounce the LL as why. For example, instead of saying Ven por aqui, para comer alitas de pollo (normally pronounced as polio) (Come here, to eat some chicken wings), they would say: Ven pa'qui, pa' come' alita de poyo. One day I was negotiating a journey with a taxi man. He kept on saying that with the PAY-YO, it would be cheaper than with a Geely ('good' chinese car). I ask him PAY-YO? What's that? And he answers LA PAY-YO, LA PAY-YO! When I meet him, he showed me the car: a PEUGEOT. I'm french, but would have never guessed PAY-YO was the car brand of my country! What a laugh we had! They speak very fast also, and first time is quite hard, even when you speak spanish quite fluently. And telling your GF she's your mango is a good compliment there!

Where would you recommend instead of Fantaxy for quality of ladies? Specifically nightclubs I should mention.
Thanks in advance!

As I'm today in the mood to share some knowledge, you may also wonder where the Guagua word comes from (that's how people call the public taxi minivans)? The first buses in Cuba (and DR I guess) were from Washington Wallace & Co company. On the side of the vans, you could see the 2 Wa in big letters, so people used to call them WaWa, hence Guagua with the time.
And to say a final word, don't call the fruit Papaya like that in Cuba, as it means pussy there. You should call this fruit Fruta Bomba.

I won't really miss it. The girls weren't all that hot (not worth the high sticker price) and it was just too damn crowded in that place. Impossible to stand much less get a drink at the bar. I would think they would have closed it for violating the firecode alone.

Hope you get it this time around.

Where's quebola at? Can't seem to find it on my maps. Me search.
How's Shangri La? Seems like Mio why tuyo is what's really left over for the "upscale" young Cuban crowd, no? No more Bolabana and no more Fantaxy.

Perhaps I wasn't clear in my explanation. We expected to get back around 900 CUC but we got "less than $900". I don't recall the exact amount we received in the bank exchange hence using "less than". It was off by a significant amount that I remember raising a stink at the place, to no avail. As for Cuba, one trip was a decent experience but there are many better places to go that I personally prefer.

Posts: 138Fantaxy update.
For all you fantaxy lovers, the place is confirmed closed permanently. Nothing much Castro's grandson can do about it. Heavy prostitution is said to be the reason to its closure. Its a pity but I see it as a blessing for us mongers. The regular girls working there have all moved to quebola. Not as fancy as fantaxy but same quality of girls with cheaper price. Fantaxy's rate was around 100-150. Most would not go below 120. The rate for girls at quebola is around 80-100. Pay nothing more than that. Of course there are cheaper girls outside if you think this is too much. Have fun!
