Havana

You might not like my comment, but I don't know what is "hypocritical" about them. Spanish is universally taught in US schools BTW. Many countries teach English, because they want to trade with the USA. Every commercial airline pilot is expected to speak English because that is considered the universal language of air traffic. And yes, the one country that complains incessantly that the US has an embargo that is 90 miles away would be better served if its inhabitants spoke and understood English. Of course it is much easier for the Cuban government to mislead their populace if they can't read western news (E G, Cubans in Florida love Trump, but Cubans in Cuba do not).

Anyway, yes they should teach English in Cuba if they want English-speaking tourists to go there with their US greenbacks!

Same reason Americans should learn Chinese I guess. It would be economically good for them to do so.

Chris did you have any issues with transportation in and out of Cuba?

I may get back to Havana but my contacts have all disappeared since Covid.

Wow! Just wow. Questioning why English isn't taught in Cuba. I love Americans and how they think everyone should speak English.

Just returned from a 2 night trip to Havana. Once again did not disappoint. I was just there in August, so not much changed, just docent Chicas to choose from and the exchange rate was even better, 250 cup to $1 usd. There was plenty of options of women, and even the Malecon had some choices late night on Monday. VS was jamming until 5 am on Sunday night, with a ratio of about 3 to1, women to men.

Don't let the Debbie Downers on this board discourage you, Havana is a GREAT time!

Just back from the weekend about, San Rafael's loaded with girls as is the rest of all Old Havana. Just be friendly and approach whoever you're interested with a smile. All the girls were super nice and none more expensive than $40.

Do you pay them in US or in CUP, and the 40 is after market conversion?

In my last short report. I talked about not getting any action. That last night I scored. She still tries to call and text me now even tho, I haven't seen her in 5+ days now, and I'm home now. I used the app BADOO. Make sure you download it now. My friends couldn't do it there. This is where all the girls are. Nothing on Tinder, so there's no point. The amount of matches and girls writing me was crazy. Once I left Havana, I left so many on open because there was no point. I have never been close to matching with so many girls here in the US. I will say this before we get too deep. Most girls are not working girls. They will still love to go out on a date or maybe a club or two. I stayed near Club Johnny in an Airbnb. Every girl knew where that was. That might be a hint to stay there, just saying ha. One of the first girls I matched with was hot. But my friend does not pay for it. So we gave them up. After that I thought every girl was working, so I was straight up asking every girl. That caused a lot of them not to text back or just say no. Even these two super hot twins. Got me sick just thinking about it. If you don't want to pay for it, then that will work. My older friend speaks Spanish and he gets every girl's number he talks to. Crazy. He fuck a few and even took a girl to the hotel in Varadero. I will talk more in that report. Like many said to me in earlier reports. Learn as much Spanish as possible. I used Google Translate which was fine, but it was just different if you know Spanish. It will be so much easier. I didn't get much time to go downtown but when we did, the amount of hot girls was crazy. Next time around I will be down there more clubbing. Most of the girls you can go up to and talk to. I saw my friend do it the whole trip. This report is getting long so I wrap it up. Havana Cuba is a gem waiting to be seen. Every girl can be walked up to and talked to. Most girls are not working girls in the way of Thailand or the DR, but if they're single and if they like you, that will probably be the case. You can take them out for dinner or a club. Maybe they are working so they want money or a gift.

I met a girl on the app. She stayed with me from 1 to 6 in the morning. We had fun in the pool, we drinks tons of beer, played a little pool, and of course, fucked everywhere in that house. Only paid 80 USD. 40 went to the taxi because this girl lives so far away it was fuck stupid how far this girl came for me. Then the rest to her. I also gave my Kit Kat to her. She went crazy for them. If you thinking about going to Cuba, JUST GO. Learn some Spanish or be like me. Do nothing but swipe all day then set something up. Get the data for your phone on day one. There wifi FUCKING SUCKS. All the food we had was good. Stick to whole fish and pork. You be alright. Have a beer. Everything tastes good drunk haha. If you're from the US. Only cash works. Cash is king. And have a hell of a time. I'm going on three cruises in the next year so PM me if you want to talk because I will be in a different forum now since this trip is up.

Thanks to everyone who gave me so many tips on Cuba before coming. You guys are the real G for that. Thanks again. Cheers.

Water should be no problem if you plan a little. Find out where the closest stores to your casa are before you travel (you guys should post whereabouts you are planning to stay, instead of asking general questions about Havana provisions, so some of us can help to guide each other). There is a nice little store across the street from Jose Marti Airport that has water, beer, and rum (it might be challenging while toting luggage, but my casa hosts were with me).

I don't have anything in mind yet. My buddy and I are planning a trip in March / April and it's down to Havana or DR. I'd much rather Havana, but at the same time, I don't want to have a bad time not being able to eat or get drinks. I'm not really a fan of the touristy restaurants. I like wandering around and just stepping into some random restaurant at midnight for "2nd dinner". There's a restaurant at the other end of the block of La Floridita that I've always liked. I was just wondering if restaurants still have their full menus or if they're down to 2 dishes or something and you get what you get.

I've always had a great time in Havana. As for girls, I've always rented places that had no problems with "visitors". Like you said, if the ad doesn't say anything, its probably ok. I've also learned to look for places that state "the entire space is for your use" or something along those lines. Then I know I'm not renting a room in someone's house and I don't have to feel awkward making crazy monkey noises at 3 am.

It's funny how Cuba will give free education to the doctorate level, but not teach English in schools. I get the FU to the USA thing, but Spain is the country that turned you into a colony. Maybe the government thinks if they teach English to their citizens they'd be even more likely to want to leave. Regardless, I'd say 1/10 girls know some rudimentary English, but don't count on it. They get it mostly from US music (I was stupefied to learn that one of my favorite young Cubanas had a Queen song on her phone!

With that said, the Parque Central Hotel on Old Havana is a great resource for food, including breakfast and hamburgers. It also has an awesome cigar lounge (BYOC is OK). It is indeed "central" in that a lot is nearby, including restaurants and bars (including El Floridita, tourist trappy, but a good landmark) and other hotels and a Habanos store in the general area. (it's right by El Capitolo, and if you can see that, you're not lost). I had no problems finding food at the better TripAdvisor restaurants, I'd just say, be sure the food is hot AF so you know its pasteurized.

LOL my first trip like 20 years ago I stayed with my 1/2 Cuban friend's elderly aunts. They didn't care if we dragged in ladies at night (literally stepping over them sleeping on the floor), but it did feel awkward and weird, lesson learned. Get your own casa you cheapos! Hint: Look at the "house rules" on AirBNBs. If they are silent on guests, you're probably OK. General rule in flouting rules: It's better to ask forgiveness than permission.

If you are trying to stay in Cuba on the cheap, well, you get what you pay for. That includes the company. Just compare it to what things cost in the first world and everything is a steal in Cuba.

JW,

Thanks for the comments, I think they're spot on, specially for the newbies here.

Saludos.

Hey BossMan, just curious as to what's the food and water situation in Havana these days? Did you eat out at restaurants much? And if so, was the full menu available or just limited stuff? Was there any trouble getting bottles water and stuff like that?

Good luck at your next destination. It must be tough liking up chicks to bring them back to where you're staying with family. Hopefully you have better luck in the next town. Looking forward to your full report.

I would not base a decision on a few dollars difference in the price of pussy. The other differences in the places are a much much bigger factor. There is no comparison. Cuba is a very difficult place to have a relaxing good time. Water issues, food issues, restaurants without basic food, and on and on and on. To say nothing of living in a place where you are being watched all the time essentially. In Colombia none of that.

Thanks for the input.

So Colombia seems more easy for having an all round relaxing holidays although I would like to know how is the experience to GFE a Cuban girl for the holidays. Is that common? Or you need to see them by hours / days? Also some idea on usual prices would be great.

Cheers.

Hey fellas,

I would like a bit more info on Havana and Cuba in general for prices and getting a holiday girlfriend price too if you have more updated information as I'm having second thoughts about my 2 weeks holiday in October, a friend said that Colombia is actually cheaper, I'm thinking go to Caribbean Colombia instead of Havana to do a cheap hobbyist holidays. I've read 20 min in Colombia in many casas is around 10 bucks and 25 bucks an hour. That's very competitive prices. How about Cuba? How hot they compare to Colombians? Also the quality of service? Are they full GFE?

Thanks!

I will keep his short, bc I plan to do a big report when I leave Cuba. We are having tons of fun in Havana but I hadn't got lucky yet sadly. My friend who speak Spanish been able to walk almost to everyone and talk. If you know Spanish then that goes a long way. He been able to score which is good. The only girls I talked to was on Badoo app. I got a lot of matches. One of the girls wanted 100 usd each. We have something line up for tonight but I'm not hopeful. It doesn't help that my friend doesn't want to pay for sex which is fine. We share a house with a bunch of family members so that also hurts. We leave tomorrow for a different part of Cuba. Hopefully I can score there. I will give an update I'm a few days more than likely, then one big report once I get home. Thanks.
