Havana

Why is an ad for overpriced, pimping, ******* involved Sosua Palace being put up on the CUBA page?

Shouldn´t this spam go where it belongs?

Green Machine - I entered once via Kingston. It was a prop plane in the afternoon. I made my reservations by calling down there and then purchasing my ticket the same day I arrived. Virtually no hand luggage is allowed because of the small size of the aircraft. The flight took 2 hours. I'd allow at least 2 hours in Kingston to get your luggage, clear customs, pay for your ticket and clear security again. Personally, I really prefer Cancun as my gateway.

Foosball - Tourism is way down right now; I doubt you will have any problem getting a hotel room. You may show a licensed casa particular on your visa. I show the license # and the address. If you need a casa particular, e-mail martavitorte@hotmail.com and mention me. If she's full, she'll know someone with room. Ask for the license number and address. Casa particulars are far cheaper than hotels and are chica friendly.

Just got back from Cuba on Tuesday. Girls were plentiful around the Havana Libre Hotel but you have to play cat and mouse with the police. Get the girl into a taxi and have it follow your taxi to your casa particular. Some girls want $40 but reduced to $30. Met a nice girl at the Jara cinema on La Rampa across from Havana Libre. There are some transvestites also on this corner who look cute. Look for an adam's apple to see if she was a he.

No action along the malecon.

Also tried Cienfuegos, but the girls and casa owners are very fearful of arrest, so I left the town after 2 days. Bennie More's was dead but I was there on a Monday night.

Recommendation is Gerona on Isla de la Juventud. Still laid back and the girls outside the disco are waiting sitting on the street curb. YOu can have any of them for $15 each. Casa particular is $15. Many casa owners will come to the airport to meet the flight from Havana, so no lack of casas.

npaul, were there many girls in Gerona? Are they available every day of the week or just at the weekend? When you say you can get them for $15 each, is that for short-time or all-night service?

Thanks in advance.

Every night at 10:30 the girls sit on the curb outside la Rumba. Sundays, MOndays, what have you.

There is also a fried chicken place across the street and another restaurant open a block away. The main street is 39th street at about 23d avenue.

$15 is for all night, some girls want $20. One natural blond with freckles and pink nipples demanded $40 and she was well worth it. The italian guys pay only $5 I have been told. I tried to pay a girl $3 once because she wanted to stop before I unloaded and she looked at me funny. Some girls only want you to buy them some clothes the next day for $20 or so. Each girl is different.

The last girl I met spent a week with me. I only bought her a dress for $38 and she was happy with me. I plan on seeing her again in January.

Hello guys, (especially El Colorado and Havanman),

Within 3 weeks I will leave for Cuba, and after reading the whole message-board, I cannot wait to go, after all the information from all you guys.

And I want to thank El Colorado and Havanaman for their regular updates.

I will send a nice and detailed update after my visit in january 2003.

However, I do have a few questions:

Colorado, please, can you send me an email (my adress is " out-there@planet.nl "). It has something to do with Marta.

Can anybody give me a quick update on the situation in Varadero? Where to go, is there a gf-friendly Casa Particular wich I can send an e-mail? (Or do they have telephone?) My plane arrives in Varadero, so I have to stay there at least a few nights.

Can anybody give a brief update on the global situation in Cuba? I read some news in this forum that there might be problems with the police etc etc.

Well, that's all folks, greeting from The Netherlands

WAS IN VERADERO LAST YEAR. NO ACTION. NO GIRLS. POLICE STOP GIRLS BEFORE THEY CAN GET ONTO THE PENNINSULA. THERE IS A POLICE STATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VERADERO PENNINSULA.

Question about US Green Card Holder & trip to CUBA

I have a buddy of mine who has been a US permenant resident for over 10 years. He is originally from PRC (People's Republic of China).

He told me that he has been wondering if there is any law that he maybe breaking if he visited Cuba. He has just put in his papers for natutralization.

But wanted to Visit Cuba before becoming a citizen. He is also into Hispanic chics in a big way.

Guys please post if you have heard anything as the guy is caught between a rock and a hard place.

I have been to Cuba three times so far. My first two trips were during 1996 and 1997 and then I was a Green Card holder. On my first trip, I asked the Cuban immigration lady not to stamp my passport. She winked at me and did not stamp it. I did the same at Pierson Airpot (Toronto) and they told me with a smile that they knew where I was coming from and they wont. Same happened during my second trip. I hope that will help your friend.

To stay with the topic: I agree with paul.... don't go near Veradero. No action there.

Stay either in Habana or go to Guanabo which is a 35 minute ride From Habana. Try to pick girls from beaches at playa del este or pinar del rio. Otherwise rent a car (the best and the most rewarding way while in Cuba) or rent a car with a driver and drive in between Guanabo and Habana. You will get many young and great looker non-pros that way and will cost next to nothing. Also dont forget to take T-shirts, chewing gum, soap, shampoo, chocolate, and toilet paper. I hope that will help you.

npaul can you please e-mail me. I want to chat about Cuba with you

humanpiranha@yahoo.com

Thanks, Catire, but for all I know you could be a US Treasury dept official who wants to track my email address and IP address and collect a fine. Please ask your questions on the board. No offense.

No, not an official of any kind, especially the govt.
e-mail me off a friend's e-mail then or do it off a yahoo or hotmail account which are completely private and protected by strict privacy laws.

I want to discuss something with you but this board isn't the proper place for it. That discussion could be more worthwhile for you than for me.

I am going to cuba soon. What is the latest latest on:

1. where to stay in havana. A casa particular that is at most 20 dollars.

2. where the girls are. Where the thick big breasted black ones are. I mean what cities and what areas in the city (streets, bars).

I am going alone. I am latino so I speak spanish with ease.

3. How much money is enough for 20 days. I am super cheap and simple. No luxury please. Just simple bed and food. No diving, hiking or museums. Just be around the people and T/A at night.

4. what cities are least tourist-full?

5. Do the banks help you break US dollars?

6. internet access?

How are Havana, Baracoa and Vinales? I was told those are "a must" by a married woman. :)

Any help will be appreciated. email me at [email]vze2wvqz@verizon.net[/email]

I will absolutely post a long report when I come back. ANY information is welcomed.

Wish me luck guys.

Hola, fellow cubaphiles and wannabee cubaphiles...or perhaps i should call myself an ex-cubaphile now...ive used a lot of the information ive gotten on this board in visiting several countries, and now it's time to give something back.

Ive been to cuba eight times over the past three years and have had several cuban girlfriends...i want to report one incident here, though, as a warning to fellow travelers. In May I met who I thought would be the next Mrs. ! A beautiful 29 y/o mulatta schoolteacher living in Vedado in Havana...I was sure that she was not a hustler (jinitera in cuban) because i actually pursued her and she was standoffish at first...also because she always ordered the cheapest items on the menu and did not ask me for anything....well, let me cut to the chase...a few months and a few visits go by, we get engaged (do i ever learn?), and i discover, thanks to my many good cuban friends, that she is still living with her boyfriend or husband who is a violent drug addict alcoholic, that he forces her to go out with foreigners to get their money, that both he and she are violent, and basically that ive been the victim of a very elaborate scam to get her and possibly eventually him out of the country....whew, i got myself out of this situation just in time....my warning is, she reportedly works this scam a lot and both she and the boyfriend are very dangerous...he is known to have killed at least one person already, possibly more...unbeknownst to me until later, the buzz around the neighborhood was how long the americano (yours truly) would last before the boyfriend got too jealous and hurt or killed him...

i don't need this shit, i just go to have a good time and i happened to fall for the worst person i could have...anyway, if you meet a beautiful mulatta with long hair named Yamilet that tells you her "ex boyfriend" is violent and that she can't be seen with you in her neighborhood, GO...do not look back! Ok, you stand warned.

In general, Cuba has become a real pain in the ass for hobbyists...the cops have increasingly been cracking down, and while they never used to bother tourists i myself was detained and questioned while walking with one of the girls...they are all afraid of the police and it's just more trouble than it's worth...yes, it's a little more pricey in costa rica but for the peace of mind and no-hassle you get there, for me it's worth the extra cost...im gonna give cuba a rest for awhile.....

but i hear brazil is really happening!?

1. for a $20 casa particular, go to the havana libre hotel on 23d and ave l. walk one block to the hotel colina. diagonally across the street is an apartment building. go upstairs to 310 and ask for daisy. she has nice room with ac and semi-private bath for $20, and she is guest friendly. you can swim and hang out by the pool of the havana libre at no charge. simply go up there and ask for a towel. tell them you are in room 1105. if you forgot your room key you give them a $10 deposit for the towel. no problem. there is high speed internet access at the business center of the havana libre, on second floor.

2. you can change your us money everywhere. it is their second currency. there are banks, etc. only your us bank credit cards will not work.

3. if you hang out in havana you will find more than enough girls of all kinds who want money and love sex!

4. try to bring $100-150 a day to cover every thing, including a girl overnight. in havana you may need to pay $40-100 for a girl.

5. i recomend you go to isla de la juventud. things are about half price. take the domestic flight from havana to gerona for $24. it goes 3x a day. girls are $15 overnight there.
