Posted this Q on Havana thread and someone quoted me 87cuc / 100usd rate. Which is really poor rate. But he did exchanged in a hotel!

What rates why'all getting on the black market? Please state where and when.

Also to fellow Canadians, what rates are why'all getting for your cad?

Gracias.

The rates in Cuba a similar to the rates you will get at any bank in the world. 1 CUC = 1 USD. Therefore, if the spot rate for CAD is currently. 95 USD, there will be a. 02 to. 03 difference, so you might get 0. 92 CUC for $1 CAD.

The extra difference with changing USD is the additional 10% charge because it is hard for them to handle USD due to the embargo. Therefore it becomes. 90 less the usual. 03 margin to get to the 0. 87 which sounds reasonable.

In the end, don't bring USD if you want a proper rate. Bring CAD or Euros.

listen carefully, do your internet research before arriving in cuba. internet service in cuba makes the big sucking sound, not in a good sucking sound kind of way. if you use a computer in a casa or small hotel you will pay a through the nose and you will be using a dial-up modem that connects to shitty networks. it will take 5 to 10 minutes to simply log into your email. friends warned me and i couldn't believe it, but its true. many websites are blocked and the rest take forever and a day to load. there are a few international hotels that have truly good service. expect to pay $6.00 usd for 30 minutes at one of the large hotels in at major city. ask the clerk if the speed is good before buying a lot of time. it's worth it if you need to get something done. you won't be able to use your own laptop, so forget about accessing your bank or credit card company. i won't use a public computer to access anything private except email.

send your pms to local mongers before arriving, makes notes of: hotels, bars, discos and restaurant address, drivers and services telephone numbers, etc, before you get to the land of fun, sun, music and hot women.

i also suggest that you bring lube, condoms (plenty of them and then pack some extras) , and the little blue pills (as needed) with you. think about it, do you really want to waste time finding and buying the above if your spanish is not fluent? if you are from the us, bring plenty of cash (already converted into euros before arriving!) unless you have a non-us credit card or non-us bank account. you are there, having fun and the cash always goes faster than expected.

know where you wallet is at all times. if there is a girl in the room, then take your wallet to the bathroom with you and shower with the curtain open, so you can see it. i left my wallet unattended while taking a short walk and my "girlfriend" helped herself to $100. i noticed the missing money right away, but couldn't prove it was her. she is poor, so what do you expect. i split the next morning. if only she hadn't been so greedy, i would be making plans to see her again and again.

Well said Syz.

What a stupid, rude and silly man you are.

I found a great girl in Cuba and I am married for 10 years now.

And I am sure you can find better women in Cuba than in the us or europe.

[Szympans28]

This is CUBA, gentlemen, fuck them and throw them away, NEVER go to their houses, to meet the family etc. Never ever fall in love with them.

Those girls as well as the ones walking past all seem a bit gordita to me.

Lonely. I got to give you props. The lighter girl is amazing! Where did you find her? When I am in Cuba I just don't see this quality anymore. PM me her number maybe?

Plus one of the most serious crimes that can be commited in Cuba is attacking an American, I know, I was robbed there and went thru the entire process of apprehension, court, imprisonment. But it has to be an American there illegally.

So hold on. You are an American and you were robbed AND served jail time? But if you get attacked, the attacker gets charged? Shouldn't you be the victim in both cases? From what I know attacking a tourist (extranjero) is serious crime, even robbing one.

[BrasilSoccer0]

my guess is the darker one is 16.

nice reminder video for my next; p.

I used to visit Cuba semi regularly back in the late 1990's. The girls were off the hook and I always had a great time. I have followed the news over the years, and a bit more closely since Raul started to try to change a few things. I'd always thought if things changed enough maybe I could retire there (even though I'm a citizen of the USA). Well, I'm retired now, but my guess is that despite all the talk things haven't changed all that much. Particularly from the perspective of living there. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong. I'd love to hear that I'm mistaken. But, still shitty infrastructure, internet access is extremely poor and all the rest. Still tough, as I understand it, for an American to wrangle a way to live there legally.

Thanks for any info!

I been to Cuba twice now and stayed for 3-4 months each time. You can buy a house for 5-10K and hire all kinds of helpers (servants) for 15-20 bucks per month. I'm down for that. Plus one of the most serious crimes that can be commited in Cuba is attacking an American, I know, I was robbed there and went thru the entire process of apprehension, court, imprisonment. But it has to be an American there illegally. They really admire Americans that run the Embargo. They figure you are part of the revolution. Anyway, I have found a way around the home ownership problem and the paperwork to stay. I want to retire someplace where I won't be hit in the head by muggers,

Which would describe America, where I live now. I want to have a few GF's. Which would describe Cuba. And I don't want to spend all my time mowing the lawn and doing dishes. So I'm all over it. Lonely

I was trolling other forums and came across this post, I read the article and saw the pictures, I almost fell off my chair. The guy's pose is priceless, it reeks of "I'm running the first chance I get".

[El Chico]

I know I've asked this before, but does anyone know of sights similar to this in another language (Spanish / Italian) where guys are posting pics from their Cuba trips?

I fell in love, been to her home (in fact, I live in the home every time I go) , have two kids with her. But, eyes wide open, yes I still have concerns about bringing her over. You just never know. By the way, however, all this depends on a number of factors, I. E, where did you meet her (tourist area, resort) , does she introduce you to all of her family and friends, are you really apart of her life? Does she have no problem registering with you, even when its not necessary (my girl insists on registering with me all the time). But this is still no guarantee of anything. So then what does this all mean. Shit, bring her over and marry her if you want, your chances of a successful relationship even in your own country with your own women is less that 30 percent, and at least the Cubana will fuck you better, or at worse, fuck you over better.

I beg to differ. Just don't marry them. You can fall in love, go to their houses, meet their family & friends, their kids etc. Just don't marry them.
