Havana

Great report, thanks Inky!

Following my earlier report on my first day, the rest of the week went very well.

2nd day.

Early morning walked to a nearby park near the University and sat on a park bench. Here I met a 25 y/ o German (very cute) doctor doing a guest internship at the University hospital. Spoke more than 5 languages fluently including English and Spanish. She said Cuban medicine almost on par with Germany, just lack some of the latest equipment. We connected and spent a couple hours talking about her time in Havana and suggestions to me about things to see and do. She invited her Cuban boyfriend to have lunch with us. He too was helpful with information. Verified wages of Cuban doctor at $40 cuc per month. Many moonlight at tourist restaurants to get tips. They work because they like their job and the people they work with and some have family money. Owner of my Casa repaired cash registers for 12 years and made $14 cuc per month. They get by because they have the inherited casa to rent out, but still can't afford any luxuries (no auto). Strolled around the neighborhood in the afternoon. Came across chica sitting on a wall chatting on her phone. I sat down near her and could tell she was talking to a girlfriend and overheard her say a nice looking man had sat down near her (me). I winked at her and said Gracias. She kept talking as if she was talking to her friend but actually was talking to me. She thought I might be the type of guy to party with. I asked her if I could afford her and she laughed and said yes for sure. She said follow me and strolled to a nice private area. Her deal was 20 cuc and if she did a good job I could give her an extra 10. Deal as my Casa was only 2 blocks away. We had lots of fun and she earned the extra 10. I'm thinking this is really fun. Having been a hunter and fisherman all my life I realize I enjoy the "hunt" more than the kill and this Cuba environment was perfect for my desires. Most places mongering has you go to a bar or brothel to find a lady but here you find them right on the street and they don't act like pros (and some aren't). After a short rest and a light dinner (very good chicken dish) I went on another stroll. Passing Hotel Colina I winked at one of the Chicas on the patio. She got up and followed me about a block and I offered her 20 cuc and she was on. Very young (showed me her ID 18 y/ o) and inexperienced (had a 4 month old baby and had a "C" scar) but we had a good time and both of us were happy. Now it was about 8 and I decided to catch up on some sleep.

3rd day.

Made a promise to myself to be "picky" and keep my standard very high as it seemed to be a "target rich" environment. First thing in the morning while walking searching for breakfast I was approached by an older (31) Chica asking me if I was looking for something. When I said breakfast she said "follow me". We went about 2 blocks and indeed the breakfast was excellent. She only had a cup of coffee. After breakfast she asked "what next"? I told her I wasn't interested in sex but a massage might be nice. She said how about 10 cuc for an hour. On to my Casa. I went nude and she kept on clothes. The massage was very good and at the 1/2 hour time she asked if she could take her dress off for comfort. OK. Nice body with boobs larger than I like but in great shape. After 10 minutes of her in her panties she asked if she could show me something. OK. She takes off her panties and shows me the wet cum in the crouch and said she was really turned on. Suggested how about sex for another 10 cuc? Of course she was very experienced and very good at letting me last and really enjoy the situation. I gave her 30 cuc total. Now she says she'td like to take me to Old Havana and see the sights there. We get a 3 wheel bike taxi for 5 cuc and he dropped us off at the capital. After 2 hours touristing we biked back to my Casa. Now about 4 and I'm exhausted so I turn her away and take a 2 HR nap. Great dinner (food in Havana is very good) and stroll down to the Malecon about 7. Meet a chica (21 y/ o) dressed in running clothes with great athletic body and nice face and very white teeth. We chatted and she said she was a track athlete and participated in Cuba national meets as a sprinter. We went and had a pineapple juice at a stand on the street and decided to go to my Casa. It was great! We got nude, cuddled, made-out, joked and laughed and finally had some great sex. Photos emails, phone #'s and she was on her way. Cuba is great! Sorry I'm so wordy and detailed but I'm trying to express my great time on my first visit to Cuba and hope this info might help someone enjoy this place as much as I do. It's payback time for all I learned about Cuba on this site. I'll try to find time to share days 4, 5, 6, and 7. It can't get much better can it?

I'm going to try and cut my stories shorter and just give some highlights and some things I learned about Cuba that might help a first timer.

4th day started by meeting my track athlete at my favorite breakfast place the Nana Cafe which is one block and of the Hotel Libre (great for lunch or dinner too). I forgot I mentioned to her that I would be having breakfast there in the morning, but she was there waiting at 8 am. She said she had arranged for a good friend of her's to take us around to see some sights, 4 hours for 15 cuc. I liked being with her so I took up the deal. After finishing breakfast (juice, coffee, eggs, bacon, toast & toast $3 cuc) she called her friend Carlos and 10 minutes later he was there in a pretty beat up Pontiac. We got in the back seat and the windows were not rolled down. As we started driving I asked if I could roll the windows down so he reached in the glove box and handed me a socket wrench to roll down the windows (the handles were missing) LOL. We saw the normal tourist sites and also the neighborhoods where the "rich" people lived which were very nice houses. Got back to my Casa about 1 and my date wanted to have some fun. Rolled around with her for about an hour (great hard body) and she left with 20 cuc. I'm now out of bullets so I spend most of the day on Avenida 23 taking photos of the best cars and hottest women. Some smiled for the camera. Dinner by myself at BKey on San Lazaro very upscale but reasonable price.

5th day I'm still not much interested in ladies today so I spent about 4 hours down on the Malecon watching and talking with the surf fishermen. I plan in future trips to explore other areas of the country to see if I can find some good fishing on my next trip. If anyone has any info about fishing in Cuba, I'm all ears! I go back up to my photo shoot spot and one of the ladies I shot, stopped and came and asked me what I was doing. Told her I loved Cuban women and was taking photos of the best of the best to take home with me. We chatted a little in English and she showed me photos of her as a professional dancer. She had lots of photos of her in groups performing dancing routines at various clubs. Went and had a beer or soda at a nearby bar. On the way we were walking and talking together and past 2 sets of cops without any problem. I asked her about that and she said they could tell who the problem girls were and left the others alone (they call them "pasenate" translate strollers) We talked for a couple hours and decided to get something to eat. She had a favorite spot and it indeed was very good and cheap. After dinner bought some beer and cola and on to my Casa. After a couple hours of hanging out (it felt like a date), we decided to shower together laughing about whose idea this was. Great sex and fell asleep together and I woke about 10 pm. I promised her I'the contact her again before I left for home. (my last day I borrowed a phone from my Casa owner and called her to say I'd stay in touch by email).

6th day Decide to go by myself to check out the beach near Guanabo for future trips. Got a taxi to agree to take me out there and back for 25 cuc. Many choices of places to stay and play. The beach was pretty nice. Not Hawaii or Cancun but OK. Got back to my Casa and walked up to the park. Met two University students (guys) and talked for about an hour about their life as students. Studying to be a physical therapist and expect to make about 15 cuc / month after getting a 4 year degree. Wow what a different culture. They took me and showed me the casa where Fidel Castro was born. The upper two stories has been modernized and each year the top 20 students at the university get to use the rooms as dorms. Gave them each 5 cuc for their time and they were very happy. They said they only eat one meal a day. Not many fat people in Cuba! That evening walked down and found my ladies from my first night. We bought beer and went back to my casa. Unfortunately my beautiful 18 why / o still was not any good in bed even though she tried harder than the first time. Still had fun with them. Gave them 25 cuc for both of them.

Last day. Casa owner arranged for a friend to pick me up for the airport at 11 am. He arrived on time in a 58 V8 Buick in mint condition. He said he had been offered $40,000 for it but uses it to make a pretty good living. About to leave and my lady who took me to Old Havana shows up and is friends with the Buick owner. She asks if she can ride along to the airport and both I and the driver say Ok. Upon getting to the airport they ask me which terminal I'm at. Duh. Didn't know there was more than one terminal. I'm flying SWA (the best) and they don't know which terminal they fly from. We go to terminal 1.No SWA but find out they are at terminal 2. (check which terminal when you arrive) I get there with plenty of time. I give taxi driver 25 cuc and tip the lady 5 cuc. Good-by Cuba! In the waiting area for my flight there were about 50 US passengers. We all huddled together to compare notes. With no exceptions everyone had a great time and planned to come back again.

Summary. Cuba exceeded all my expectations and I rank it at the top of any country for friendly beautiful sexy women and friendly people in general. Very clean and safe.

P.S. I forgot a funny story part. While walking around one evening I was invited to play dominos with four guys on the street. (They play all over). I tried to refuse but they got me into the game. After a couple minutes they explained that we were playing for money. Ow Shit I'm going to get ripped off. Of course I lost and had to pay. How much? 1 peso National currency which is 4 cents. Also for info the bus fare around the city is 1 peso also.

I spend time in the DR and enjoy it very much. I have been following the Cuba forum as a possible option. You are the 1st guy who made me want to consider changing up. I a afraid of getting pinched for doing something illegal in a foreign country. Did you ever feel this was an issue.

Fidel Castro was born in Oriente north of Santiago. And nowhere near Guanabo.

Combo,

Sorry, I'm on newbie to Cuba. Maybe they said Fidel lived there. There is an exhibit on the main floor but I didn't look at it detail and maybe that's all BS too. It's on San Lazaro near Espada.

Although not sure myself, it was prolly the place where he lived while attending La Universidad de la Habana.

Thanks for your great reports.

There are a few things you should be aware of when visiting a foreign country. In Cuba's case two things that I would advise you to stay away from bringing are drugs and pornography. Also, as in most countries you travel to, firearms are not allowed.

Other than that, I, would recommend Cuba. Let us know if you go and post your experiences.

Mondo.

Thanks for the nice report. By the way, Fidel was born in Biran, just outside Holguin.

Great reports, I can't wait to get back. Havana has the potential to overtake other very popular Monger destinations.

Inky46,

Nice reports. Where was your casa?

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Inky46;2027352]"...I realize I enjoy the "hunt" more than the kill and this Cuba environment was perfect for my desires..."[/QUOTE]That's so true!

To answer your questions. Where was my casa? You know you never tell someone exactly where your favorite fishing hole is but I was about 4 blocks north of the University. There are many choices on Airbnb and you have a choice of how much you want to spend. I think anything between the University and the Malecon would be a good safe choice.

Was I ever fearful of getting in trouble or being arrested? I thought about this while I was there and was careful not to do anything stupid or illegal. Winking at girls on the street isn't illegal by itself right? The locals joke that Havana's population is 2 million and 1 million of those people are policemen. They are everywhere and seem to have their eyes open about what goes on around them. I tried talking to several and none spoke any English. I saw several with dogs. The dogs had a wire muzzle on and I think they were used to smell weed or drugs. One evening I watched for about 15 minutes while two policemen with a dog stood by a busy bus stop. As people walked by, every so often the dog would viciously bark at someone walking by. Scared the people "big time". Police made no effort to stop this behavior of the dog so I'm not sure of the purpose of this little game. Periodically it looked like they picked some male passerby, stopped them, and checked their ID. Maybe they were profiling. One afternoon on my way to lunch I was approached by two obvious pros who asked if I was interested in having some fun. I wasn't interested in either of them, and told them so. Looking up I saw a cop walking briskly toward us. I said to them "police" and quickly walked away in the direction of the approaching cop. He passed me without comment and went directly to them. As I walked away I looked back and he was checking their ID's and talking to them. I didn't stick around to see what happened.

One day while on my favorite viewing perch near a busy bus stop and within 40 meters of two policemen, a guy who spoke very good English approached me and asked if I was interested in a Chica. I said maybe and within a couple minutes he brought a very nice looker over and introduced me. We got to the price negotiation and when I said 20 they both gasped with No! He said minimum 40 so I said "you got the wrong guy". Within ten minutes he again showed up with a very decent looker and the same negotiation transpired with the same outcome. I tell this story because after these two encounters the guy went and stood and talked with the two nearby policemen for at least ten minutes. Maybe they were on the take or maybe it was part of a trap to catch "nice guys like me". I'd stay away from any "pimper" as you really don't need their help and it might be a trap.

Some other interesting tidbits of info that maybe has been broadcast before but I'll tell it anyhow. Almost all the old cars operate as taxis. If you go to the curb and wiggle your fingers (like our thumb up for hitchhiking) they will stop to pick you up. You tell them where you're headed and if they are going that direction they let you get in. Many times the car is almost already full but you squeeze in. You give the driver 50 cents cuc for the ride. Standard fare all over the city. I decided this is where Uber got the idea for their company! Also the buses are very nice and they are frequent to all parts of the city. Standard fare is one peso (National) which is 4 cents. Busses are full most of the time but people are very courteous, not like in Central America or Mexico.

I have attached some photos of interest. Photo of the 58 V8 Buick taxi to the airport with the owners of my casa. We have since exchanged several emails and next trip I'm going to deal directly with them. Photo of my taxi driver rolling down the back window with a wrench. Photo of a young chica hitching a ride by a passing taxi for 50 cents. Photo of a policeman with a muzzled dog standing near a bus stop.

P.S. Since returning home I have received emails for two of the Chinas I spent time with. Very intelligently written with some emotion thrown in. I plan to go back in September for a couple weeks and get out of the city.

I'll try again to attach the photos.
