The word in Camaguey is that Western Union is out and bank cards are in. This has nothing to do with the new insane US policy that will go into effect in Nov. That will limit or force WU to close their doors in Cuba. The real reason cubans are moving away from Western Union is that WU dispenses CUC and the CUC shops are losing all their merchandise to the new USD shops that are now legal in the country. So, the store on Republica Ave in Camaguey that used to sell food upstairs for CUC is now only accepting USD. Other USD black market stores are opening. But now they are not black market, as the Cuban gov't has allowed them to operate. But they only accept USD. Here's my question. I live in the US. My understanding is that US banks don't operate in Cuba. ATM cards from the US don't work there. My girlfriend is asking for a bank card that I can recharge with cash. She can take that to a bank and get US dollars with it. I know that Cubans use this system, but I don't know how to get the card and set up an account up here in the US. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I'll add parenthetically, if you read about WU closing in Cuba you can read testimonies from Cubans about how difficult it is to live right now. With CoVid and no tourism and few imports. If WU closes, they will be S. O. L. As far as remittances from the US go.

Just use the new regulations as an excuse to cut off the money line, she's not your girlfriend, she has somebody in Cuba banging her, even when you're there (they can find the way).

I send money to Cuba (not to girlfriends) and I'm doing just that. They have to make their government to allow them to make a living.

The card she's asking you about is one that has to be recharged from outside to be used in the new overpriced stores they opened there.

Yes, I have lived in Latin America for many years totally and hence also spend a lot of time ofn Match and then Cpid sites.

I see that Cuban girls, for money or culture, both, take own iniative to cibersex. In a way that girls form high octane countries like VNZ or COL would not do.

But also a ton of duplicate profiles, from Cuba and on Dominicacupid.

I ask myself; How many of these Cuban girl s are Cuban. I get there +53 Cuban Whatsapp, but obviously that seem easy to change if you how the know how. In YouTube films over habana it was not like Medellíand or on average beauty VNZ girls on LAC out -beauty even paisas.

Itis difficult, because I have had many friends that never used me for money and I have got sex from those girls, but also traditional one robbing, and several tries to rob me during maybe 7-8-10 trips, 7 of them at about up to or more than a semestre.

In Buenos Aires you find prepagos, but they are ugly, from the poor parts of the country, in Medellíand, girls almost being my neighbours worked at the Penthouse-like site on Calle74 , / Estadio girardot.

In per al girls are ugly. It is sad but true, and mean, boring, don't go there.

Cuba is new for me. Lot of complicated things to think about if you want to stay long-term.

VNZ; We can only hope El Joven wins the upcoming elections and re-integrate the country in the international community again, and get rid of that highly damaging double-currency they have now. 60 of the civilized countries acknowledge El Joven as Legal president.

I mean so the Venezuelans can return home and get paid, and aid.

Trip planned to Medellin in early November. Can anyone assist? Is Poblado Plaza Hotel Chica Friendly? Any 4 Star lodging suggestions that are Paisa friendly would be appreciated!

Last time I was in Medellin, I used Lifeafar Investments, they rent apartments all over Colombia. I found a fantastic 2 BR apartment in Poblado. I can't remember the exact name of the apartment I rented , but I will definitely book that specific apartment again. It's right next to the CASA KIWI Hostel in Pablado. KIWI Hostel address - Carrera 36 7 10, Medellin 050021 Colombia. You can Google Earth it and go to street view, facing Kiwi hostel, it's the two story apartment building to the right, get the 2nd floor apartment facing the street, it's awesome.


This is not the exact apartment, but it's on the same street, a good example of what they have to offer.

This is the Cuba board BTW.

Are you sure they are crazy for sex? I doubt it. Sex, they have plenty, they might be crazy about money, but not even that, family living out of Cuba and "foreigner boyfriends" provide plenty of that, you'd be surprised to know (well, maybe not) that many would send money for naked pics and videos, even when that's plentiful and free on the internet.

I fully agree. World is full of losers ready to pay for what is free and then it completely changes the attitude of the girls from sweet ones to cold and mercenary. That explains the success of BS sites like Onlyfans. Pathetic.

Actually I think they may legitimately be crazy about sex. But that's sex with Cuban guys around their same age. 50,60, 70 year old Tourists, probably not. Though there may be exceptions.

You'll have better luck by asking this question in Colombia forums.

Where is LAC? I've been to Cuba almost 30 times and have never heard of LAC. LOS Angeles Clippers?

Sammy, LOL, how you been brother?

[Rebel Monger]

Cuban girls, from LAC, from Habana, are crazy for sex.

I think he's talking about a dating app, LatinAmericanCupid.

Personally, I have never used a dating app, especially an international dating app. It just seems to me that you never know who you are talking to. Even in my little simple world, I can see many, many things that could go completely sideways using one of these apps. But that's just me.

Stay safe and party on.

They just closed airport Habana, now they open up for some flights, and will be hit again, since nothing helps until there is a efficient vaccine widely distributed.

Europe and USA, advanced countries have had close / open / close / open since March, as soon as they lighten up, a ne breakout comes, it inevitable!

Better to have a boring + 1 year until the world gets back on it's feets again.

Cuban girls, from LAC, from Habana, are crazy for sex, they start sending porno of themselvves, I mean a porn-star -like girl and then a victoria secret -alike girl, and showing her having sex with another girls, and asked if I wanted to have them also. Cuban girls might not be as beautiful on average as colombianas and venezolanas, but hell are they horney. All you see on xvideos etc, with those curvy models, latinamaid etc etc, they want to do that; they crave cock in their ass, they are like "men" are supposed to be, wilder girls, and it was so very much living in Colombia, but Cuban girls are damn horney and seems to have ignored all problems to have sex instead. Advanced sex. I would like to involve myself with an highly educated girl, but even after the pandemic, Cuba will go to one single currency! That is a cost-changer! They are opening up, slowly, but they must.

[JohnReter335]

Can you please elaborate as to how are these girls from Holguin are contacting you? Is it via Facebook, Tinder or what? Thanks.

I think must be from tinder.

Hey,

Haven't posted in a while, here's is the latest info from Mesa Redonda (daily semi-official program) Today they had both the minister of transportation and the minister of tourism on to report on the up to minute news about Cuba and its opening to foreigners.

It's in Español (Spanish) I know some of you speak the lingo so you'll benefit from this.

Mondo.

P.S. Thought I re-post it this here from the Havana thread since there's info about the rest of Cuba included in the broadcast.
