Havana

Dolphin,

For me Vedado is the best. But that is just my personal preference.

El Cubanito

I agree, Vedado is my place as well. Either around La Rampa y L or out near Miramar where you can find some pretty big casas.

Less hazzle from jineteros in Vedado than Old Havana. Allthough Old Havana is beautiful.

Basically, any area in Old Havana, Vedado or the section of Habana Centro that runs along the Malecón would be my pick.

Good luck with that. Seeing that it's your first time, don't sweat it if things don't work out with the chicas from online. There'll be plenty girls around in Havana who don't care if they have only known you for an hour. And if you speak some Spanish, they'll be more than happy to talk to you. (If the policia is not around, off course...)

I'm heading to Havana in April, so would be interested in hearing how all the Cyber-stuff turned out. Might give it a go if it sounds like it's worth it. Please give us a report.

[QUOTE=Dolphin2007]Hi Travelling Gring,

I've only tried CyberCupido. It allows you to write to 2 women per day, and check out the profiles of 70 women/day for free. If you check out somebody, it sends them a notice that they are being checked out (and then they check you out), etc. So, the free service works fine for me, but you can pay to have unlimited emails, etc. I always include my email address in those that I write to, so I quickly get them off Cybercupido into my email.

I'm travelling to Cuba for my first time in March, so then I can tell how it will all pan out. But offhand, I think it is working great. I have about 4-5 women lined up who will be great and who seem like they'll be fun. My spanish is somewhat limited, so all of them but one speaks some english. If you are fluent in spanish, you will be golden, and have your hands full. If that is the case, I think the problem then becomes are these women going to get in the way of your unplanned hunting and mongering? Also, I'm a tad bit picky on looks, so I've really excluded many women who were interested in me, but they were not quite my type (I like them slim/petite). I have one who I really like and who is bilingual and who writes me frequently, so I'm hoping to spend lots of time with her. But, I like to keep the others in my backpocket just in case, as well as I'd like to hunt a little. So, I think you'd do well using Cypercupido. I'd like to hear from you and others about success with the other options though. Buena suerte.

I am planning my first trip to Havana this February. I will stay at the hotel and don't plan to rent a car. What are the main no hassle pick up venues? Is there a problem for a sure ST/LT at the casa of chica's choice? I need a simple guideline. Would definetely hate to waste my time. My spanish is quite limited. Used to DR, CR etc. I did my homework but still confused how easy is to see some action. thanks.

No hazzle, best bets are the discos and the suburbs. Worst places are Habana Vieja and Malecón. Cops on every streetcorner.

All pro girls will know a casa you can go to. These will be illegal casas mainly.

Limited Spanish and first time visitor, I would stick with DR or CR. But if you feel up to the challenge (it will be a challenge!) good luck in Havana.

Thanks for the advice Travellng Gring. I'll definitely let people know how things work out with the cybercupido planning. I'm booking a casa in the Vedado area (thanks for the advice on that too everyone), and it is 3 blocks from the Malecon, so the location will be good. Nice to know that I should be fine either way.

Best wishes everyone.

I concur with TG. Havana is NOT the best spot for non-Spanish speaking newbies. The game is fast there as many of the Cubans see how fast they can seperate the unknowing from their cash.

Fellas,

Som jerk-off (hope it's not you, Dolphin? :-) has booked my favourite casa in Vedado in April, so I need to find a similar casa.

Requirements:

- Location: Vedado close to 23, L and Malecon or Centro on the Malecón or perhaps Habana Vieja (but never seen a good, independent casa there)

- Totally independent. Prefer apartment over room/studio. Seperate entrance and owners who don't hazzle about chicas.

- Balcony, telephone and clean as hell.

Any tips?

(In case you don't want everybody to know about your 'secret' casa so that it is booked everytime you're in Havana, please PM me)

Hola TG,

Not me. I'll be there in March, not April.

But, the place I booked can be seen here:

[url]http://casaparticularcuba.org/viewproperty.asp?code=HAV335[/url]

Maybe that'll work or this group will work with you. I was VERY clear that I wanted to bring female guests to the apartment, and they were cool with it. In fact, my first choice was a no-go because they said the owner would not allow guests there.

Good luck,

Dolphin

Dolphin,

I was going to PM you something coincidental about this casa, but you have chosen not to receive PM's?

TG

Tg,

I am not a subscriber, so I believe I can't receive PMs.

I hope you are not going to say it will be a bad casa. Rather, I hope you have good things / good memories of it. I have these feelings of dread that I'll try to bring a chica back and they'll give me crap about it. But, we'll see. It is anything like that?

Hi Dolphin2007,

I am confident that a sophisticated world traveler such as yourself can afford a $20 subscription to support this forum and all the work I do to keep it maintained.

Come on dude, a forum subscription is less than 50 cents a week.

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue]

Please let us enjoy what happened

The problem is not if they are "cool" or not, it's whether they require girls carnet info to be written in the "book". If so, no self-respecting girl (or smart jinitera) will step in the place. Better check if they require guests to be signed in or not.....

Dolphin,

I agree with Jackson: sign up. It will be worth it. Some of the best tips you'll receive on these boards are through PM's. And the guy is doing a hell of a job, so it's really only fair.

Send me a PM when you have signed up.

Fido Dido: You're not missing out, that's a promise. A few things are just better handled in private. I am sure you agree.

Wow! Razzing from jefe Jackson is getting me ready for the atmosphere of Cuba. Gracias hermano grande.

So I subscribed... I think it'll take a day to get activated, but then I'm open for PMs etc. TG, I'll PM you once it is activated. AND, anyone else with suggestions can feel free to PM me.

Gracias para su ayuda,

Dolphin2007
