Havanaman, yes, it's in Cuban spanish with english subtitles, out in DVD or VHS. It takes place and is shot throughout Cuba - very, very beautiful! Part of it takes place in Baracoa, where I will retire someday. If you see the movie you'll know why. I was there once and fell in love with it.

Doc Bill,

I saw Strawberry and Chocolate a while back: Spanish audio but with English sub-titles (text) (Yes, my Spanish still needs help when listening to complex / rapid chat). Is Miel Para Oshun same? Out on DVD yet? Based in Havana or other city?

Regards, Havanaman

[Doc Bill]

I just saw the film Miel Para Oshun (Honey for Oshun) and I highly recommend it. It so accurately and succinctly portrays life in Cuba, so much so that I am surprised it made it past the Cuban censors. Experienced Cubaphiles will note the subtle digs at the system. It's made by the guy who made Strawberry and Chocolate. Thumbs way up!

WickedWilly,

Your report was enlighting. Problem with cuban women is to get to safe place with a bed not to pick them up especially in Varadero where every security guard at every entrance to every hotel watching you coming in and out. And believe me they don't accept money for letting cubans coming up to your room. Of course you care score a maid (it can be done and was described before in this section). Havana's situation is better since more accomodation options and bigger crowd as a result less police watch. Even there it's better to be cautious and use common sense because of the potential harm to girls not to you.

This is not a trip report as such, as I did not partake in hobbying, unfortunately this was a holiday with the GF and other friends. However, I was ever observant and wishful to what it would have been like, had I been there alone. My impressions of Cuba from reading the many articles here was that the girls can be hot and beautiful, but at present they are hard to find due to the many Police on the streets. I also expected Varadero to be a hobbying black spot.

I spent a four days in Havana, staying in the Parque Central and then a couple of weeks in one of the better resorts in Varadero.

The Parque Central was superb, great rooms, common areas and a good roof pool terrace and gym. The breakfast was better than most hotels I have stayed in and it was not expensive to drink there either. There was security on the door, but I am sure at times I could have got in with a reasonably dressed girl, especially in the early hours of the morning. I did see some tourists with obviously Cuban girls coming out of there room the morning, which surprised me.

What also surprised me was that although the police presence was there, many girls were still openly touting their wares around the Parque Central area. Indeed within two minutes of leaving the hotel for the first time, my friend had a girl on his arm, much to his GF amusement, then she went for me. In a one hour walk we were approached three times and this was repeated throughout our stay. Once, when my male friend and I were temporarily alone, we were approached by two girls and they were called over by the police who took note of there cards, but no more.

I was also approached by a pimp on the Malecon and there was about 20 girls I am sure were “workers” in the mile or two I walked along it. With one exception though all the girls where mediocre at best. The one who I would have gone with was a 8.5, very attractive lady, I guess in her very early 20’s. One thing that did surprise me was that most of the girls in Havana were of African decent with much darker skin, there were less Mulattas and even less Latin looking girls. This was interestingly reversed in Varadero.

The best place I saw for picking up a better looking lady was the Casa de Musica in Mirimar. While queuing I was approached in Spanish by a very lovely lady coffee coloured, tall and classy. If she had, had bigger breasts she would have been a 9.5+, but still a strong 9. To cut a long story short she ended up coming in with our group and sharing a table, bought her own drinks and never bummed off us at all. She spoke great English and left me with the feeling of what might have been if only I had been alone. I can report though that every time (and I mean every) I went to bar or toilets I was approach with seconds, so scoring here would have been no problem and I would recommend it to all. One word of advice though, go in the afternoon, it is much cheaper and as a result more Cubans go then. In the evening it is 5 times as expensive and full of tourists. Another sign that action was going on was the number of older guts with very lovely Cuban ladies grinding away at there private parts. Yes, I all in all I came away a very frustrated man ….. made the GF happy though!

Varadero surprised me. Here the women were so much more beautiful than in Havana, and nearly always were much lighter skinned. I saw beautiful girls working in the resort itelf, with guests staying in the resort and of course in the Discos. I am sure pulling in the resort would be hard; you may get numbers for meetings later though. Outside in the discos though, you would have a much better chance. I went to El Palacio de la Rumba ($10 with drinks, younger crowd the majority Cuban with a good few tourists, some with Cuban grinders. The music is more tecno/disco than salsa music and it is a little intimidating with the macho Cuban men protecting there territory a little), La Comprasita (Great place with show in open air forum, lots of Cubans, $5 to get in with drinks, dancing was fantastic and opportunities for finding a 8-10 high. The music was more Salsa, son and Ra. I was told weekends are best here) and lastly the Mambo Club (More touristy, $10 with drinks, live band and some good looking Cuban women. I was approached directly here on several occasions. This would be better in the week).

In all three there were lots of women tourists with Cuban men and in all the clubs they were openly propositioning the Cuban guys. No loss to us though they were without exception pretty rough.

Overall I liked Varadero as a resort and would have certainly found some sport here contrary to what I thought before I left.

Cuba was a great place though, I love the music and the dance and there are few better dancers than the Cubans. It is a good and cheap holiday destination, not I suspect a top hobbying one, if you like your action easy, but if you do not mind looking around I am 100% sure you could find a good few suitable candidates. My experience was limited though, so looking around the model shows, university and other similar places would up ones chances too.

I do hope I can go back, my libido is still there now, unfulfilled, but I am now looking forward to my next “real” trip, to LOS in Oct/Nov.

Doc Bill,

Thanks ... and my plan is to stay at a "Casa" but will check
the chicas. BTW, someone has put the dates for El Carnaval
its from the 20th thru 28th of July.

[Doc Bill]

I'm pretty sure that Carnaval is in July in Santiago. The girls are all over. Try the outdoor cafe (not the food, it sucks!) at the Hotel Las Americas. That's a great hotel to stay at too, by the way.

[Alboroto]

Doc Bill,

I am planning to visit Cuba next month and do want to
visit Santiago for El Carnaval, any idea when this is
to happen. I have asked El Cubanito but since he fucking

[Alboroto]

Macgoo,

I saw a message on El Salvador Forum, well when are
you planning to bring your "Royal Asx" and "Dick" here
the ladies are waiting and we can tour along.

[Doc Bill]

Go to Santiago, it's incredible. Take a look at the Santiago board here.

Greetings Fellow Mongers,

I'm off to Fidel's communist paradise once again! I've never ventured outside of La Habana (besides La Playa Santa Maria) during previous trips mostly because I've found the mongering situation there to be excelente. Any suggestions for excursions are welcome. How's the situation down in Nueva Gerona? Is it worth the hassle of flying down there? I've got 10 days this time so time constraints aren't an issue.

Thanks

[Macgoo]

Brethren: My apologies to you for enduring this senseless diatribe.

arecho66,

I acquiesce; my mistake, you're right on all points. Considering your writing precision and emotional conviction, it must be frustrating communicating with an illogical imbecile. Certainly you must be exhausted by creating, then quoting comments, I never made. For that I am truly sorry. In the future, instead of conferring with associates at the Hoover Institute, I will consult you on all matters of geopolitics. As recommended; I will cease all research on location mongering and look for another job (?), upon my return to the States. Flame Retardant

For the moment, however, I have another hot chica to negotiate -- all else must wait.

[Arecho66]

Macgoo,

Bush invaded Iraq. He did not assassinate Saddam. Assassination and invasion are markedly different. You fail to see the disconnect. Things will not change when El Comandante dies. Recall case of Ho Chi Minh. Which means you and/or your gusano family and friends will never recover properties. Those moldy titulos you grasp in your clammy little gusano paws are worthless pieces of paper. If you want to alleviate "your people's suffering" get that maricon Bush to lift the embargo. My assessment of the Cuban character is far different from your recommendation of bloody mayhem. Again, you fail to grasp the obvious disconnect. Instead of rummaging through old WSG posts, look for a job.

I used to be an active member of a forum that deals with Cuba (politics). One day a guy posted there a picture of a Cuban "prostitute" and because of that, I stated to "keep an eye" on alt.sex.prostitution in order to fight the "perverts" traveling to Cuba for sex. That newsgroup was mostly spam and flame wars, but there I discovered this and other forums, and I began to change, for the better!

To make a long story short, I found out that I enjoyed more reading about you guys' "adventures" than discussing politics. In 2002, after watching DonGringo's Leah's video, I decided to take my first "mongering" trip. A couple of hours after landing, a Colombiana got a hold of me, and for four days made me feel like a teenager again. It opened my eyes in more than one way. Life was good!

My political quest is over, now I'm a "born again" hobbyst! Keep those pictures & reports coming. F*** politics!!!

[Alboroto]

Macgoo,

Well I do agree with you when it comes to the security
of our fellow mongers, in fact, I am planning to ask the
El Salvador Customs Department if they are also reporting
to the US all or any pax visiting Cuba.

The US$ 7,500.00 paid for a chica, perhaps we can laugh
at but I have paid more ... My Divorce !
