I guess it depends on your definition of what well off means. I too, have been offered ridiculous amounts of money for stuff; for example, for my 3 year old $200 ipod, I was offered $400. The prices for everything over there is inflated and Cubans, who understand the concept of saving money, save to buy stuff at inflated prices. But, I would never say they are well off; they are paranoid, repressed, oppressed and depressed. Even the ones with money. If you have access to money, every family member and friend expects a piece of the pie.

Please give me some advice on where / place to go to find some nice gilrs.

Thanks

Yes I know there are lots of well off Cubans. A lot of Cubans who are government employed live better lives than we do in our countries.
The majority of Cubans are not really well off. Lots of them have money though and lots of them live very well. As I'm sure you know there are lots of Cubans who have relatives in the US or elsewhere who support them. These Cubans are the lucky ones. The ones who aren't getting help from relatives abroad or the government do whatever they can to get by. Cuba is certainly a difficult place to live for those who are less fortunate.

A Couple years back I went to Cuba and this Cuban couple like my laptop. In fact they were looking for one. My Laptop was a IBM top of the line with Windows and Unix install. Nothing special except for the memory an dthe program I had install on it. But this couple really like it. The guy or husband ask me if I would sell it to him. At the time I though it was a joke because my laptop was only 6 month old and if I was going to sell it. It would be for close to $1,000.00. Well, that is what I asked and quess what? HE gave me the money. This guy had $1,000.00 CUC to BUY A LAPTOP! There are alot of Cubans down there that have money. It is not the majority, but they have money.

Contrary to belief, not everyone in Cuba is poor. In fact, I know a few people that have better lives than we in North America.

It's very rare to meet a Cuban who doesn't try to get money from you one way or another. It's a very difficult place to have real friends.
They don't have much so they have to try and get what they can from tourists.

Well, it could happen.

In all my time, I have dated 2 girls that were the real deal. One took alot of work. Never gave either one a dime....that might be the tipoff.

"Is there something I should be warry of? Is she the real deal or stringing me along? And meeting her parents, ... what is this all about? Am I really all that?"

I've met many families. Some of them, I still visit when I am on the island. There is a Cuba Amor forum that provides insight. Rules prevent me from giving you the actual site. But could be found in a google search.
Let me know when you start sending her funds to help with her studies, the bills, family emergency, etc... She might need a ride. But then again, she's different.

[Kalifornication]

As long as you're all that!! As for me, I'm not!!!!!! In any case, I agree with you as to the shallow p4p. That's why I have my regulars that I enjoy during my visits but they get no financial support from me when I am not there. However, they all get their monthly "support check" from others. I have on occasion driven them to the bank to get the money. Of course, dinner is on her that day!
I will not be there in June. I visit no less that 3X a year. Am going in early May,(as usual), usually go in mid Aug and have spent the last 5 New Years there. Set it up!
Venceremos!!

Cubiche,

Your Spanish must be very good, ... are you Latino? Cubano perhaps?

My Spanish is not so good, this is my handicap. It has not held me back however, but I am certain that understanding the language fluently would add quite a bit of milage to the adventure.

I like the idea of having a few regulars as you have. That is what I am seeking. Seems to me that you are far too humble, you are "all that", and a big of chips. SMILE.

Listen, seeking your opinion. Now I know you carry a healthy bit of skepticism about these chicas, ... I should do more of the same. But, with that said, this chica that I met that attends UCI is asking me to return in mid-July raher than my planned mid-June. She wants me to return to Santa Clara with her, as she is out-from school, to show me her pias and to meet her family.

Is there something I should be warry of? Is she the real deal or stringing me along? And meeting her parents, ... what is this all about? Am I really all that?

There two Casa de La Musica in La Habana. The one on Galiano was still closed in Dec for repairs, could be open by now. The other is located by Miramar. El Diablo Tun Tun is located on the the second floor of that one, with the entrance around the corner.

As to "meaningful, sincere" relationships, if you mean romantic, "real love", "nadie como tu", "tu eres el unico" " como puedes pensar eso de mi" "no soy como otras" I would suggest you proceed with EXTREME caution!!!!!! Even if they attend the University. I've been going to Cuba for 12 years. In that time, I've been with University girls on several occasions. Some of them had Yuma novios thinking they are the one and only and of course, they all had their Cuban. In fact, one now married and living in Italy, had her future husband's name tatooed across her lower back to demonstrate her true love. I have fotos of my dick laying in the crease of her ass, pointing at his name. But then again, you're all that and she is different!

Was The girl who had a tattoo across her lower back a mulatta from the Vedado Area? HAHAHA If it was her She was very very good!

[Kalifornication]

It appears that Casa de la Musica on Galiano is opened again.

Are you fcuking crazy, visiting Cuba in August ? Its too hot even for Cubans. Though I guess it would be fun as most Cubans are on holidays and looking to party.

Both Casa de la Musicas are indeed open. I went to both.

Cubiche,

In fact, you are right, I am all that, but I am not certain she is different. SMILE

I too have my USA girl's name tatooed to my heart, but I like a bit of adventure too. Do not get me wrong, I am not looking for a sole mate in Cuba. I am looking, however, for more than the instant shallow action of the pure p4p. I personally do not care too much what she is doing when I am abroad, which will be the case as I intend to only visit Cuba 1-3 times per year.

In fact, its better that there is a physical barrier between my USA life and my Cuban life.

I will be in Cuba again mid-June. Care to join me?
