...When night time rolled around, I decided to check out La Canitas, the Candy Store.

I headed to La Canitas at around 11pm and I couldn’t see the meter on my taxi, so I just paid him 5 CUC. I probably overpaid but I have a feeling that if I would have asked, he would have quoted a higher price. I headed upstairs to the 2nd floor and asked the bouncer where to pay the cover. He explained to me in English that I was supposed to buy a ticket downstairs then bring it up, but its okay, he ushered me to the bar and had me pay the 5 CUC cover there, it included a drink, I ordered a can of Cristal. The place was sort of empty. There are two huge screens set up playing music videos, and a sitting area by the screens, then a huge square bar in the middle of the club with seating areas to each side of it. I chose to sit close to the bar in the music video area, with a semi-obstructed view of the front door. There were maybe a dozen girls there already when I got there but none interested me in the least. I sipped on my beer and enjoyed watching some music videos for around 20 minutes, then suddenly a very cute flaca walked in with her friend and 3 douchey looking Italian guys. I assumed the girls were with the 3 douchebags, but after ordering their drinks they headed over to the table right next to mine and sat down.

The flaca caught me staring at her, but before she could make her move her friend jumped over to me and introduced herself. I wasn’t into the friend, and I pretty much told her that. After a few minutes of her courting me I invited the flaca over and we all sat together, two flacas with me in the middle. The one I didn’t like started giving me a handjob under the table, and the one I did like was stepping aside because her friend had marked her territory. We sat together the 3 of us for like 45 minutes just bullshitting (while the one I didn’t like was giving me a handjob under the table the entire time) and the one I didn’t like asked me if I was into her or her friend and I told her that I preferred her friend. Her hand left my lap immediately and she pushed her chair aside.

I talked to the one I liked for a bit and her name is Rayna and she’s 24 and from Holguin. The one I didn’t like was from Havana. That was a bit off putting to me, to say the least. Neither spoke a word of English. Having had a good experience with a girl from Holguin on my 2nd day, I had high hopes for Rayna, and after some idle chatter I asked her how much she wanted to come home with me… she thought about it and led with 70 CUC. I asked her if I can get 2 pops for 70 and she said papi we can go 5 times if you’re able to, I’m yours. I liked that answer. I told her I only pay at the end and she said no problem. We finished our drinks and got in a cab. Rayna was a bit paranoid about police, to say the least. She insisted that I sit up front, and she laid down in the backseat. It was a pretty comical sight. We got back to my place and the cabbie asked for 6 CUC. The price was very reasonable, in my opinion, finally a cabbie who didn’t blatantly try to rip me off for having a girl with me...
