Havana

This girl looks to me like a gay trying to sell fake pics and vids. I would avoid her / him like the plague and not bother losing my time with her /him. Completely useless.

Most of the fb profiles you mentioned before are the same kind. I chatted with some of them to see. Girls trying to sell fake pics of Colombian girls in order to get a recharge. Cuban girls have been famous for that now thanks to stupid mongers sending money for naked pics and vids which can be found all over the internet for free.

I pay to get laid not to jerk off.

Go to Cuba walk around and start talking to a girl you like then you will be sure of what you get. All the rest is BS.

This is PERFECTLY said! There's no need to deal with wack Facebook want to be girls. Its very simple to just walk the streets and meet plenty of chicas. Don't make it harder than what it really is.

Just out of curiosity, what can you sell in Cuba? I live in Israel and have an Israeli passport. I can freely travel to Cuba.

Last time I was there, even like the simplest things you wouldn't think twice about in my country could become a luxury item in Cuba due to the planned economy.

For example, I was told that hair ties and hair pins (which they sell by the whole bag in my country) is an item that is somewhat hard to get. Hygiene items like toothbrush, toothpaste, razors, etc are also hard to get. Apparently beef is super expensive and controlled, so when I brought a bag of Costco beef jerky people were treating it like some delicacy. And simple things like Hershey's chocolate were sought after. A good pair of socks could fetch $3-5 dollars on the black market.

But I wouldn't bother selling things, though. I would just bring small items like that as gifts to give out to people I meet and people who help me. I imagine if you're from Israel you probably live a lot better than the average Cubans so why would you want to waste your limited time of your Cuban trip trying to sell small items when you can just be enjoying yourself?

I agree completely. Don't send recharges and in fact don't even bother messaging anyone until you are in Cuba. However I don't think they are all fakes and I keep hearing things about "cat and mouse" games with the police when trying to pick up girls on the street. I hope to soon see some solid first person reports from the frontlines here.

If I were you I would try to get in touch with this girl. She seems to quite friendly regarding men of the gringo persuasion.

Thanks!

Half way up La Rampa just past the open all hours cafe going up the hill is La Tikoa (or something similar), although the term semi pro doesn't really mean what you think it means. And I don't know if they're remotely open after all this pandemic nonsense.

I've been to Cuba a few times and have never seen anything like you are asking for. Several years back there were music venues where you could find company, but not sure what is operating now with Covid restrictions. Hopefully someone on the ground there can help with that.

The guy gave you the answer and you ask again? MN. Moneda Nacional. Their money, currency, also known as CUP, Cuba peso.

Moneda nacional was the name of the currency in order to distinguish it in the past from CUC, which was Cuban Convertible Currency, which no longer exists.

To make my response clearly say what I intended, to the original question from Onojdi. That Muzungufotsy gave you the answer and yet you asked again.

[AmorPorFavor]

Thanks a lot for the advice. During my second part of the trip I will stay at the old town, so I'll definitely try this. Do you know the girls in old town willing the spend the night with one guy or they prefer short time looking for more customers? And what are the rates for short / long option? Trying to collect info about the price to know what will be acceptable and to know when they are trying to overprice the stupid gringo.

Depends on what she looks like. A Ferrari costs more than a Kia.

Anybody who has been to Cuba knows what MN means.

20 cuc ST. 40 cuc LT before Covid. Just convert to MN. Should be easy.

Moneda Nacional (National Currency), in this case CUP (Cuban Pesos).

I have found girls just walking around old town at night after say 10. They will be hanging out in the doorways sitting on steps and other places. Just say hola. They may even approach you if you look OK. Don't worry its safe to walk around at night. Also take a ride with some pedicabs and ask the guy. Some of them know a lot of girls.

As of today or at least for the past couple of weeks, USD is back taking the throne in Cuba. Bring your USD if you have them. The street value is higher than euro or any other currencies. To give an example, in December 2021, USD100 is around 7000 MN and Euro100 is around 8500 MN. As of now, USD100 is around 10500 MN and Euro100 is around 10700 MN. Notice the big jump? Do the math and tell me which currency is better.

From chatting with Cubans online, I get the impression that many don't understand the distinction between the US dollar and the Euro. They know that there is the CUP and "the other currency". And I think "the other currency", USD or euro, will go pretty far. If you have money you can call me honey.
