Havana

[QUOTE=BeersTerry;1637432]WOW! You must be really really good because most people I know pay way more than that.

Or maybe he looks like Enrique Iglesias and he gets showered with prime pussy everywhere he goes??

Details:

Solo American traveler, 39, average Spanish, average monger, first time in Havana. Stayed in Vedado by the Malecon.

As always, thanks for the info that many of you have shared.

I went via Dallas and Cancun.

-Exchanged dollars to Euros in Dallas airport to save on the exchange rate.

-Bought Cuban Visa card at Cubana airline counter in Cancun. Dollars ok. $25.

-In Cancun you depart out of terminal 2. If running short on time, hike it. Terminal shuttle is very slow!

-MX immigration tax at Cubana airlines counter. 315 pesos!? This was news to me. A hustle?

-Immigration experience in Havana. Alert flag placed on anyone that is passport stamped in Dallas due to Ebola scare. They wanted to take me to the hospital and do blood work! I got mad and they let me go but a nurse visited me at my apartment twice to take my temperature during the week. No, she wasn't cute.

-US passport not stamped upon entry into Cuba.

-Exchanging money: Be sure to ask for small cuc bills or they will give you $50 cuc notes that are hard to break.

-Cell phone line activation difficulty. A local tried to help me find a place in Havana and old Havana but no luck. Had to go back to the airport. Be sure to have passport with you. They will need a copy. The phone store at the airport closes at 7 pm. I missed it because I was held up with the "Ebola scare".

-Cuba [URL]accommodation.com[/URL] apartment I booked didn't match pictures. Owner held Cuban Visa card and did not return the next day as promised. Probably suspected I would roll out. Definite hustle there. Best to book multiple apartments and have taxi wait outside, if you go that route. Or like most of you said, hotel the first night and sacrifice the first day looking around. I didn't want to make that sacrifice and paid for it.

-My taxi driver was Juan Miguel and his English was good enough. Contact me for info.

-Met local chicas thru Badoo and took local taxis. Unreal how cheap it is. Chica told me to "shut up and not say anything in the taxi" ha!

-La Rampa street options are strong, learn your spanish and don't be afraid to tell them to speak slowly. Ha!

-Did work on badoo with a few nights of fun on my own. Got pestered by police when I was with my Mulata friend outside Jazz cafe. That was entertaining.

-I was happy I brought individually wrapped wet wipes as soap is rare in a lot of restrooms. Should have brought a small shampoo, toilet paper, and a good towel for showers. My apartment was bare!

-WiFi in Hotel Nacional is in the business center upstairs and its $7/ hour.

-Panty lines are a huge problem here! Please bring thongs as gifts for the ladies! Total buzz kill! LOL!

-Sunday's seemed like gay night everywhere. I walked through the capitol area at night with a Chica friend and I'm grateful she was with me! Ha!

-As mentioned before, hustlers run deep. Seems like most opened with "what time is it? I stopped wearing a watch on the second day. Or if you really want to have fun. Tell them the time but don't stop walking. It's a blast and confuses them. And remember, even if a hustler says they don't want money, they will eventually ask for it. Many will ask to buy them a drink first. I got hustled twice, outside the apartment disappointment. But one at least made an extreme effort helping me find a SIM card and assisted with helping me buy the toiletries I needed. The other gave me a good tour of his dance studio and a Cuban music history lesson. Worth the two drinks I bought him, IMO.

-Overall, the weekends in mid Oct were hopping. Clubs and street. The week was quiet. Great first trip! I shall return with friends. Had 3 days of sun and 4 days of clouds, drizzle and rain.

-Places I visited during the week, not weekends.

Sangri la. Definitely not near hotel Melia Cohiba. Unless there are two. Amazing non pro talent, bring your A game, but off the grid.

La Maison. Dead during the week. Bartender asleep behind counter LOL.

Casa de musica (Miramar). Surprised it was in a neighborhood. Ha! These women (all 8's ,9's and 10's IMO) are passive compared to Argentinians! And always remember, don't let them win the staring contest! Whoever looks away first loses the upper hand. Ha! During the week, peak hours are 12-2 am. Have your Chica picked around 1 am. $15 cover to get in. Chicas sitting in the back. They dance during the performance breaks. Good opportunity to say Hello,. I met a gorgeous 22 year old that loved dancing. We hit it off and she didn't even discuss rates or anything. Had a great time at my apartment and I dictated the amount by giving what I thought was fair. Service was amazing!

Misc.

-Downloaded and used the Jibbigo translate app. You can download specific language conversions that do not need Internet service. I had two phones going. One with the app and an unlocked phone I bought online.

-Cell phone worked out good. A lot of chicas will call from a land line after you text them.

-When converting your money back, do so in the arrival area if you can, not the departure level. Better rates. More of the Cuban hustle. It's a pain no matter where you do it. If you're flying back into Cancun, they do not exchange Cuban pesos there.

-Don't forget to pay your $25 airport tax before going into the immigration line.

-At immigration the agent actually asked me if I wanted my passport stamped. I opted out. That came as a surprise.

Cheers!

[/QUOTE]Regarding cell phone, what are the local carriers-- Claro or Movistar?

In the Dominican republic many street walkers also told me "cien" then you just tell them 40 and stay firm. These Cuban women I met online work for the government and are not "jinateras". I did extensive research and had many contacts before traveling. In Cuba you can pickup women everywhere. Just go to supermarkets, local food places, travel agencies, markets where they sell souvenirs etc. Some Spanish is required. Attached is a 27 year old chick which was happy to get 20 cuc. Keep in mind a doctor makes only 20 cuc a month.

[QUOTE=MrGogo;1637459]I agree, from my experience 30 cuc is the standard minimum. He also stated in a previous post that girls were going for 40 usd in the DelRey in San Jose, Costa Rica which is unheard of nowadays. When I was in the Del Rey girls would say " cien" before they would give you their name. They wanted CBJ and condom sex for 80-125, plus the money upfront. Because of this I have never been back to Costa Rica.

Maybe this guy has a certain look that makes these girls want half of their normal fee to fuck him. What threw me off was that he was doing bareback which normally comes at a premium. Usually there is some bull shit from the girl involved if you low ball them like that, but he claims everything went perfect every time.[/QUOTE]

Attached is a 25 year old blond with beautiful breasts and a tiny shaved pussy from an other state. I just paid for her bus ticket and food while she was with me. I really enjoyed eating out this woman.

I don't know why the uploaded pictures are not showing.

Maybe some can explain how to do.

I'm trying to you / l 2 pics I can't see when it's done because there is no progression bar.

Y69 M,

1-Look bellow the blank space where you'll type your report.

2-Click the "Attach Photos or Files" tab.

3-It will take you to a different window.

4-Under Upload Files from your Computer click one of the many "Choose File" tabs.

5-To verify, before uploading, your photo has posted: toggle back to the original window where the actual message is.

Hope this helps. And you we should get a giant reptile here. !

6-You should see an emblem of your photo right near the "Attach Photos or Files" you clicked in step 2.

If you don't see it there it wil tell you it's too large to post. So just reduce its size.

[QUOTE=You69Me;1639657]I don't know why the uploaded pictures are not showing.

If your Spanish is good it helps as you said. It just seems strange that these girls have extensive time with you on the computer and would decide to fuck you for 20 cuc. Most chicas are looking for a way out of Cuba and would usually play the good girl role and make you wait a couple days to not appear desperate for money even though they are. Also the cops are everywhere watching everything so these girls with good jobs usually won't want trouble to have a 20 cuc quicky fuck. Now if you are promising them something long term and avoiding them after you bang them, that can be dangerous and it's a matter of time before you run into psycho Chica who is going to teach you a hard lesson one day.

If you said you took them out for dinner and dancing and then bang them for 20 cuc I could believe that. But to contact a girl on the computer and tell them you will be arriving soon and you will only give them 20 cuc for a fuck doesn't seem logical to me.

If it does happen like you explained then you are a blessed man and keep rolling brother.

Buena suerte.

Myself I would pass on the blue pants at any price, but would bump up the yellow one considerable.

The blue pants girl was free just paid for her bus ticket from "Las Tunas". After the second night I gave the one in the swimsuit 20 cuc for taxi. When she could not come she sent me her 21 year old very tight and juicy girlfriend. I'm more than double the oldest ones age. I'm not cheap. Long time ago I paid 1000 for a fucking a beauty in the ass.

There is no logic I've had pleasant and unpleasant experiences like everyone else.

[QUOTE=You69Me;1640134]There is no logic I've had pleasant and unpleasant experiences like everyone else.[/QUOTE]I'm glad you said that Sir, because your previous reports made it seem like you always hit a grand slam. I consider Cuban women smart and savy with dignity so I can't understand their motives for fucking you for basically free when they can fuck a Cuban guy and not risk being labeled a jinitera by the police.

As a previous poster said" access to computers and the internet is very limited" but somehow you managed to find chicas who regularly have access to the internet. Heck! When I'm in Havana I only know two hotels that have WiFi and they don't allow regular Cubans into the hotel. Plus if they somehow find access to computers why would they offer a visitor the local price?

I see in a report below that you once paid 1000 to prove you aren't cheap, but yet you low ball Cubanas who offer the best fucks in Latin America IMO. The inconsistency is what raises my doubt. A gentleman who pays 1000 for a fuck who now only pays 20 and every girl is for that? If you were that generous in the past you probably still are. If you send money before a trip or buy a girl gifts and take her to dinner, then give her 20 cuc for cab fare, I wouldn't call that a 20 dollar fuck.

Basically I'm just busting your chops dude because I appreciate your reporting and you seem like a nice guy. I also feel there is more to the story that you have left out also. The bottom line is you are living life and what I say really doesn't matter. Good luck.

[QUOTE=Bijou;1639223]Regarding cell phone, what are the local carriers-- Claro or Movistar?[/QUOTE]On my phone contract I only see "ETECSA". Definitely didn't see any Claro stores like South America.
