Havana

[El Grande]

Just back from a ten day trip to Havana. I'm not much if a club monger but here's what I checked out:

No 1 place now seems to be el Pico Blanco on the top floor of St. Johns Hotel at 23rd. Chica monger rate is about 10/1. Many good lookers. Closed on Tuesdays only. They all start with 80 but the later it gets the more you can barter them down.

There was a Leoni Torres concert at Don Cangrejos on Saturday. The place was crowded and lots of girls in there as well. Open on weekends only.

I also went to Fantaxy once on a Friday as everyone here is talking about this joint. Not impressed at all. It's small and crowded and far more guys than girls. Compared to St. Johns & Don Cangrejo they were not even as many good looking. The entry is free so I don't see why they think they can ask more than girls in other clubs. It's more a club to dance and hang out.

Open on weekends only. Lately they have some issues as a Spanish lowlife filmed his price negotiations with a chica in this club and put it on Youtube. This came on Cuban television.

Streetwalkers at night are on La Rampa, the Malecon and around Parque Central.

If you're into black hard-hardcore mulatas you can also try Guanabo bars during the day.

I pulled most of my girls off the streets or in Supermarkets like Carlos lll or Galleano. Just start talking. It's still very easy to get contacts.

Cheers, El.

Definitely helpful Ty. A chick I met on cupid kept trying to get me to add CM before I came. She had whatsapp so I could not understand why I needed the CM. She lives far from Havana anyway and said the buses would be booked up during carnival when I was there. She wanted me to take a taxi her way for $80. Even said I could stay at her house, but fuck that noise.

What is Cupid? Is it better for Latin America than Badoo? It seems like the Badoo pickings are slim.

Thanks. You-V.

Anyway, back to CubaMessenger, yes it works, as I was responding to someone else, just trying to be helpful.

Sounds like an Am tip to me. A pro tip would be to tell a chick no if she asked to see messages in your phone. And who is going to pay $10/ month to talk to 1 chick? Even a rat has more than 1 hole to crawl into. So if someone was to delete messages, how are they supposed to decide which chick's messages to delete and which to keep?

Yeah you're right, I'm an amateur compared to you Mr. Enternational. I guess I should have added that I really like this one particular chica and she treats me like a King when I'm in Cuba. I do bang other chicas but I don't want her to know about it. She does have a photographic memory and can decipher my security code on my cell phone in no time. Even though I tell her to stop fucking with my phone she won't stop, and I'm not about to throw her hot little ass under the bus. She has staked out her territory and has no intention of giving it up. BTW, $10 a month is less than chicken shit to me.

- " how are they supposed to decide which chick's messages to delete and which to keep?"

Dude, I don't know how you make it though a single day without getting lost, geeesh.

Carry on.

[Mr Enternational]

It's not free, $10 per month.

*Pro tip*, when you get to Cuba and hook up with your chica, she will want to see what messages you have on your CubaMessenger, you might want to delete any other conversations you may have to avoid a nuclear meltdown, those chicas are very jealous indeed. LOL.!

I wanted to know if it would be difficult to find girls who would go along with threeways. I would be traveling with my girlfriend, so we would want to find someone bi. We had no problems in Colombia, they actually loved my girl, but not every place is the same. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey guys,

I have ben chatting with a cutie I met on Badoo and she wants me to add the app cubamessenger to my phone so that I can send her message when she is not on wifi.

Does anyone have any experience with the app? Is ti safe? Or is this some kind of scam?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yes, it's cool. I've been using CubaMessenger for a year now. When you download app, it will ask for a verification code, to make sure you receive the verification code, access your application, there under Settings = Telephone number, choose your country of residence and enter your number. It's not free, $10 per month.

Cubamessenger is safe and very easy to use. And cheap to use compare to normal text messages. I have use it just over one year to communicate with my wifes relatives in Cuba and never have had any problems.

This is not a mongering report, but some of the information may be useful to mongers.

My brother, nephew, and I went on a cruise to Havana so my brother, who is 87, could fulfill his wish to see the old cars. We arrived Wednesday afternoon and went on a bus tour arranged through the cruise line. One of the stops was at a park that looks like a large parking lot. There were some taxi drivers there, and I arranged for one to take us on a tour in his old Cadillac the next day.

Wednesday night, my nephew and I walked around Old Havana across from the pier where the ship docked. There were some ladies on the streets that were available, but I didn't see any that I couldn't do without.

I had 24 gifts bags of toiletries that I had assembled (photo attached) to give to the locals when we went with the taxi driver. I put the gift bags in two larger bags, 9 in one and 15 in the other. When I got to customs, they wanted to know what I had in the bags. I showed them and they said I could take the smaller bag, with nine bags, but I had to take the other one back to the ship. They also said I could take the larger one later. I had to fill out a customs form. The taxi driver showed us parts of Havana and took us to a university to pass out the gifts bags. Everyone was very happy to receive the gifts. When we went back to the ship, my brother and nephew didn't want to go anywhere else, but I wanted to get the other bag of gifts. When I got to customs, they wanted to know what I had. I showed them, but someone recognized that I had taken the other bag earlier, and looked through the forms and found the one I had filled out. They told me I could not take any more. I asked about them telling me I could take it out later. They said no more that day. We were leaving that evening. I asked if another person could take the bag out. They said yes but with only 6 of the gift bags. I went back to the ship and asked my nephew to take 6 gift bags through customs. My brother can't walk any distance, so he could not help. When my nephew took out the same bag that I had taken out, they did not question him. The taxi driver and I went back to the university and distributed the six bags. When I returned to the ship, my nephew suggested we each take four bags and go to Old Havana. When we went through customs, they did not question him, but asked me if I had perfume in the bags. The customs people obviously can make their own rules. The taxi driver said they are rude with most people. The people checking passports were very friendly and didn't ask any questions.

Maybe the customs people at the airport are more friendly. If not, I guess they will take what they want since you can't take anything back to the airplane.

Some observations: The Cuban people are super nice. I think the ladies are not as pretty as the ladies from Medellin, but I saw some attractive ladies. During the daytime, I saw very few people walking. Even in October, it is hot and the humidity is high.

I may return, on an airplane. There is a curiosity inside me that wants to experience more.

Damn TravellerNjoy! I didn't know that's how you do it Mr. Casanova! LOL! It sounds like you got some game. Thanks for the compliment and the information and hopefully we can cross paths in the future. Remember to keep the Pimp hand strong.

Far from Casanova. If anyone is Casanova its you! You know I admired your reports and anxiously awaited for the upcoming reports. I just wanted to do things differently this time, and didn't care if I had someone in the bed. It turned out to be amazing experience. Honestly, I learned, it just takes little effort, and you can have semi pro or non pro fairly easily.

My last trips I was doing the usual, Malecon, Don, Fantaxy, capri etc. And getting screwed with high priced. I learned a valuable lesson talking to a security guy at Melia Hotel, we struck an hour long conversation and he filled me in, basically he said 25 CUC should get a fine girl.

Thanks so much for sharing. I leave in less than 3 weeks and I will also be staying close by Habana Libre and will check out the coffee shop to see if I can't meet my own perfect 10.

In case I do what upscale restaurant do you recommend taking her?

The restaurant I like is inside the Habana Libre (Tryp) hotel. Its called Bucanero close to the Reception area. They have good Mahi Mahi and the cost is around 11 CUC, fresh shrimp cocktail 6 cuc and decent selection of Red Wine. They have chicken breast Stuffed with lobster for 18 cuc, all of them are my favorite. We had Mahi Mahi, some cocktail, and one or two bottles of wine (didn't pay attention) and the cost for two person was around 60 CUC, this was really shoving wine like drinking water. Its very quiet and private, nice surrounding.

My another favorite is Restaurant Sierra Maestra (same hotel as above), its on top floor with panoramic view and nice food.

The Cubans don't like spicy food, I had a rare girl she loved spicy food and we went to Buena Vista in the old tourist town, 2 person around 90 CUC. I would stay away from this place unless they are into spicy food, which I doubt highly.

Obviously we all know Floridita (Hemingway hangout) its a lively place and very light snack food isn't bad, if you are in the mood to listen to some music have few cocktail and light food this is good place to break the ice. The price isn't bad 2 person for a drink and light snack 20 Cuc. I sometime start here get into the mood, walk and talk around central park and have dinner at other place and go home.

All of the above for a regular date, otherwise don't waste your money on them, stock up on a case of Cristal, gums, take with you big jar of mixed nuts and you are golden.

Also, if you are eating alone there are some nice Paladar across the same hotel.

Hi guys,

I just returned, and just wanted to update our friends here.

Please don't take this post as bragging. I am an average humble guy, and wanted to share some expereinces.

Mondo. Looks like you had a great time and liked Fantaxy, I didn't get to go there this trip, I had my hands full.

Anyway, quick feedback. I stayed near Habana Libre, I got a 2 bedroom apartment, and I am glad I did, I hate walking or negotiating for the taxis. This location served me well. I met some 9's and 8's at upscale coffee shop at Habana libre hotel and at LaRampa Cafeterina. I was waiting for a local Cuban businessman to show up and having a coke, next to my table met a half Ukrainian and half Cuban, she was 20 and beautiful. We just spoke briefly and before she was leaving I casually asked her to have dinner with me at an upscale place, she agreed and I asked her to meet me at 6 pm at the same place. I showed up at 6 pm and past 6 pm I thought to myself it was too good to be true, guess what? At 6:05 she shows up, dressed to kill and hair done. We went to the dinner at an upscale place and had a bottle of red wine, and seafood. Afterwards, I asked her to come to my place and have a chat, she agreed. We chatted for a while and did other things. Ahem. After few hours later, I gave her a gift of LED bluetooth Speaker, she loved it. I than gave her 100 CUC as a gift, she politely refused, and gave me a dirty look as if I was thinking she was a pro.

Great experience and thanks for sharing.

BTW, you can speak Spanish?

I speak very little Spanish, I would say 5-10%. I learned basic greetings, and common everyday phrases, IE: how much? Food, money, directions, etc. What I learned can be learned very easily in a week. I am really good with offline google translations. If you do use google offline Spanish pack, do yourselves a favor and put your phone in Airplane mode and no WiFi and make sure it works and you have a working handle on it and play with the settings and save the common phrases. It is fun and pretty good.

Also, use app called maps. Me (google map does not work in Cuba) and download Cuba map before going, and save in favorite all the spots mentioned here, this will save you time and you can see visually how far things are.

Another great tip I would recommend, I know its bit cheesy but its fun and you will have knowledge of how Havana is set up geographically along with getting educated is to buy ticket for 10 cuc all day pass for hop on hop off bus, you can catch the bus at any stop and pay the driver 10 CUC directly. You will have a great time in the morning and you will see Miramar, Vedado, old town and other famous point of interest. You can get off explore and get back on the other bus shortly, they run all day.
