Last week when I was up front on a flight, I sat next to a guitar player for Maroon 5, we started talking about kids and I had to laugh when he told be about his son in elementary school. He told me that the teacher asked his son: “Why he did not grow his hair out like his dad” and the kid responded by saying: “my dad thinks he is a Rock Star”…….

This past Thursday, I had a project in Windsor, Ontario. After I was finished I went to a local cigar store and was bought a Cohiba Siglo VI and paid $48.75 CDN per cigar….this hurt as I paid $5Cuc a cigar in Cuba, but it brought back memories and I realized I have to return.

In Cuba we as tourists are considered “Rock Stars”, in short the only way to get in trouble in Cuba is drugs or murder…..the cops won’t fuck with us. In the past to many journalists were in Cuba, got harassed and wrote negative reviews of Cuba. Since then, we are “Rock Stars”.

Now the key is simple, we know we are Rock Stars and the girls know we are
Rock Stars, but they don’t know that we know…..So if you think about that for a minute, what I am saying is simply this: you may cut your deal with the GDP, however, she will not remember the deal when you get back to your room…..Simply by reminding her, that all bets are off and you are going to send her packing with nothing totally straightens them up. In Brasil, if you have problems with the GDP and you threaten to call the police, the police will most likely take her side of the story……In Cuba…..#1, she can not be seen with a tourist, therefore, she is afraid of the police……the same thing goes with the taxis also, except the taxi driver can be seen with you…..therefore; if the taxi does not use the meter and you feel you are being overcharged, you can give him what you believe the fare should be and he cannot complain….or you can call the police and he will be in trouble for not using the meter……

Outside of Switzerland, Cuba is the next safest place on the planet to be. I walked around Havana feeling completely safe, I never removed my rolex and had no problems what so ever……The only issues in my opinion, were the girls constantly asking for something….Q-tips, lotion, my cologne, band aids, etc…..it was really a pain in the ass. Next time, I think I will stop at Walmart and pick up a suitcase full of cheap $1 perfumes as gifts; the girls in Cuba are not as label conscious as Brasil…….

I can truly state one thing about Cuba…..I have seen more hot girls in Cuba than anywhere, but the level of service does not compare to Rio or Sao Paulo….

As for the girls.....and what with the future the borders will be open...all I can say is:

Haven't had the time yet to read the report and check out the pictures, but I have to say for starters I like the title!

Thanks for pushing the envelope. You draw a very interesting contrast re police support in Cuba vs other countries. While specifics like this are among significant variables, it could be posited that we're all rock stars in all of these places, and that's part of the reason we pay big bucks to get there. After all, you can generally get laid at home more cost-effectively.

Grant me this constant: women dig vicarious thrills and/or money. In most target countries, any tourist seems wealthy beyond the locals' wildest dreams, and lives a life of unfathomable comfort and variety.

This may not be as obvious at global icons like Help or Atlantis or Rainbow IV, but it's clear in other settings. In fact, short of actually getting onstage, it's hard to feel more like a rock star than you will at, say, Chang Ping's gauntlet or some of Angeles' more intimate clubs. Thanks for contributing to the options.

Diversity, Next time, we have to get you a random girl off the street. The best sex you can have is a normal Cuban girl grateful for a little financial help. The disco girls form a sort of Puta-Union and the longer their membership, the more they charge and the worse the service they provide.

I'd stack Salon Rojo up against any place on the planet for sheer number of smoking hot working chicas. The service varies depending on length of time the girl's been working...

These girls are NOWHERE NEAR smoking hot.

Laguy,

I think your remark about the title is nothing short of wishful thinking....

CFK

Diversity, may I suggest the next time back to Cuba you also add a few tubs of Clearasil anti-acne cream for the girls...it looks like they really need it.

Cinco: where can I buy the 55 gallon drums of clearasil????

Kind of like the 55 gallon drums the girls in Help get their perfume from.....

BTW, the guy who told you he plays guitar for Maroon 5 was bullshitting you. James Valentine, the guitarist, doesn't have any kids.

A lot of harsh comment around here, I for one am looking forward to visiting Cuba now. Thanks for all the info, AND for the pictures, you really give a feel for the place.

Just out of interest, what % of the girls speak English?

Tourist2004, almost none of them speak english...

Also, While Cuba is safe from major crime, petty crime is rife. They are poor and opportunistic. Snatch and runs are becoming more and more common. Some guy may come and ask you for the time and when you are looking at your watch, he will rip the gold chain from your neck and run. Good luck trying to catch him.

Any sources on finding a 4-5 bedroom house?

How does the currency work? Bring USD and exchange it for CCP. I assume Cambio's are everywhere?


USD accepted?

Many thanks,
CN

I exchanged all of my cash at the airport. I also exchanged dollars for euros in the US before I left. They charge an extra percentage to change dollars for pesos but this extra charge only applies to dollars. Best to land with euros or Canadian dollars or something else.

Is it true, I hear the Peso is 1 to $1.08 USD.
So I'm down 8% regardless of which currency.
I'll wait and see which curency is the weakest vs. the dollar. I may bring British pounds.

Thanks,
CN

Hi guys newbie here , is it always the same gas bags jerking each other off or does somebeody besides you boy scouts ever make a comment?

Buttwen welcome (newbie) to Club Hombre! I am sure you will be a great contributor to the board "once you pull your head out of your ass" - Hemp

Great, another non-mongering WSA jerkoff wandering onto our board to talk shit...

Buttwen,

Welcome to Club Hombre. All of your recent posts have been of disparaging content.

Your welcome to join this group of "gas bags", assuming you don't alienate everyone here.
Our good natured ribbing and "sarcasm" is a deliberate attempt [with good intent] to include humor and useful information in many of the posts. Most information here is not new, and sometimes a new approach can generate more interest. You can be the judge.

Hi Buttwen, if you don't like us gas bags, you're welcome to leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
