Cuba: don’t discourage…

I return of a four weeks stay in May to Cuba where the things seem to change in an unpleasant way for our preferred hobby. But my friends let us not be discouraged!

With some precautions and adaptations, this island remains the paradise for the most demanding monger. One can indeed fuck each day with one, two or three various girls (if one wants or one can!). At least in Havana.

And one can meet many wildcats there !

For me I prefer the solution of three or four "favoritas", with some small occasional extra to vary a little the menu. Because about the middle of the trip the "caviar syndrome" intervenes: even better things are wearied!

Some remarks for my American friends
President Bush stated that the American laws prohibit to the American citizens to travel to Cuba for pleasure. Strange declaration for a country which guarantees the liberty of its citizens. It is at least the opinion of a stupid European! But where the business stops and where the pleasure starts? Nevertheless the Cuban people (and his government) do not have a prejudice against the citizens of the USA. They are accommodated with all the kindness of which they are able.

Thus if you can it, visit Cuba to have a true first impression of the paradise. Absolutely unique in the world, at least according to my criteria.

Summary

I could make many photos. In this country to make numerical pictures and to immediately print them on a small easily transportable printer (HP photosmart 130) to be able to give theirs, are an irresistible means to attract any pretty girl in our bed. It is better than the best sports car!

However I decided to show only very little of them in this short report so that the photo-models do not risk anything. I do not want to take the responsability to send these nice girls in prison. Indeed the police force nose about everywhere and inevitably gets the photos published in our reports. In fact not only the nude photos are dangerous, but all the pictures with the face of the chicas accompanying the text by the description of what occurred with the tourist. The police force can easily identify, arrest and throw in prison the chicas and perhaps also the tourist! It would be deeply unjust after all the wellness they make us! Sorry, but those which know Cuba will understand or perhaps will judge me a little too paranoiac!. Morality: let us remain discrete, but when even get us an eyeful!

Many discotheques are closed, but the situation changes constantly. In any event it always remains in Havana one or more places to meet chicas. The best and surest remain hitch-hiking, because one can choose and test by the conversation before deciding. Remember that in Cuba, there are only two places where the chicas are safe from police repression: it is in our car and... our bed! Thus let us avoid walking ostentatiously in the streets with one of these pretty girls.

The best places to meet chicas are as follows:
1) Casa de la Musica (Miramar or Epoca) in the afternoon especially
2) Around "Parque Central", close to the Inglaterra hotel
3) Open bar Chorrera at the end of Malecom
4) Irakere Jazz Club, new name for the old Johnny
5) The National Cabaret near "Parque central"
In any case in front of each discotheques, cabaret, bar there are always girls who wait to be able to go with us. It is better to know to use the art of dodging and negotiation.

Attention with the pickpockets, outside and inside. To have on oneself the minimum of money and the photocopies of our personal documents.

Cuba and Havana are for me the true "Mongerland" without equal in the world.
To have really pleasure, it is necessary to live in a casa particular, knowledge a little of Spanish (but one learns quickly "en la cama ", in bed! And to read especially well the excellent reports of (alphabetically): Don Gringo, Godfather, Max, Radioman, Sandman and others.

Post Scriptum :
I must acknowledge that I missed a single photo which I will regret all my life. At the time of the great demonstration of anti-American protest which joined together more than one million Cubans, all equipped with a red tee-shirt, I saw a girl dressed also with a red tee-shirt but with marked above... Coca Cola !!!

Don’t discourage... the good relations between the two countries will return certainly soon !

Brings a tear to me eye. Thanks for the report Manager.
What is evident to the reader is that the level of 'cat and mouse' games is very high in Cuba. Were it not for the incredible rewards that await the patient mouse at the end of the maze, this island would not be worth visiting.

From previous trip reports i understand that the casas runn about $30 per day, is there any way to rent a room long term, say 2-3 months? If i went i would want to stay a little longer, how long can a US citizen stay without doing a visa run?

Actually, I think the reward would be for the cat, but I am no Marlin Perkins.

Travis, I have not been to Cuba (I'm heading there in July) but would imagine that you could work a deal for a long term stay with a casa. As far as how long, since you "are not in Cuba", you probably can stay as long as you like. There is a Canadian company that helped me with my plane tix (travel agent) go to www.forcuba.com

Although I am no expert, I believe Cuba permits tourists to stay for up to 6 months per year.

When entering the country, the immigration official always asks to see your return flight information. I am told that you cannot book a one-way ticket to Cuba without proper immigratrion forms.

And Mitch, in my analogy,

the Cat is the Beard and his Police

we are the mice running through the maze to find

the chicas, who are the cheese.

Take heart however, and keep taking those pills. With a little more hair and a few years, you could easily pass for Marlin Perkins.

This Mitch/Deeg feud is heating up. I hope it isnt just a war of words for one of their sakes...

Don't be ridiculous GCL. I'm the LAST person to consider war. A pacifist at heart, I prefer to walk softly and carry a big stick. Mind you, it's not that my stick is as ogrewhelming as a certain blonde kentuckian from this board.

Meetchie remains a levelheaded, buttoned-down colalr kinda guy during his life here in the USA. Hell he even tucks in his shirt for an important client!

Nope - got no problem with Meetchi. I'm sure we'd never catch him filming TV porn. Make no mistake about it - it's you I loathe.

PS
What's the difference between GCL holding a videocamera in the nude, and a tripod?

One leg angles upward?

Concerning the visas of tourist, the situation is as follows for Europeans: the tourist visa for thirty days costs approximately 30 dollars. It must be taken before the departure in a travel agency. It can be possibly taken in the airport of Havana before passing customs control. But there is not always somebody in this counter!
This visa is renewable for a new thirty days period (for approximately thirty dollars). Then you must left the country.
For the US citizens,I do not know how it is necessary to make.

DG - I thought Layne was from Alabama. Or is that GCL. Man, all these redneck states get confusing...we should just sell em (back) to the mexicans in exchange for a case of tecate and a few dozen chicas.

He knows its Tenn but likes to rile me as he knows I wont be seeing him in Rio anytime soon...People from his area of the world dont understand the importance of such issues...

Excellent report Manager. I agree with your evaluation of our current leader. This stupid policy of forbidding travel to Cuba began with JFK, and has yet to be lifted. From what I have read, Cuba has seen great improvements in liberties since Castro's revolution. While the economy has suffered, that is a direct result of a US embargo. I am hoping that the restrictions are lifted soon.

Best Regards

I stayed in National Havana, and for no money security will allowed girls in the hotel. Next day I went with my guide to some obscure bar with lot of girls. Price was 100$ for a girl, some of them were young and pretty. some old and ugly. After entering the place I had to choose one, there was no way of going out without one. I took one pretty young and driver drove us to private house. In one room her mother was watching TV with cousins, in other room her brother was playing domino with friends and I suppouse to fuck her in third room. So what I want to mention, Cuba is not the best place anymore. Comparing with Asia, and Thailand Cuba is not worth of money if the main reason for going to Cuba is sex.
