I am an utter virgin. Please could someone give info on
Cuba that they wished they had had when they arrived for
their stay.
Thanks
Bruno

See post on Superabuela at approximately #4. It's a good
place to stay in Havana. You could also stay with the
neighbor, which charges less.

Go to Superabuela@hotmail.com for a good place to stay in
Havana. I actually stayed at the neighbor's place for $15 a
night.
I think it always helps if you have a good idea of
what you should pay whenever you go to a new country.
The first time I went to Cuba, I gave the taxi driver
$25 for a ride from the airport! I was used to New
York prices. Suffice it say, he was quite happy!
-
Anyway, you can save money (in Habana) by taking the
Cuban taxis, which is essentially any car that is
willing to pick you up. The price is always 10 pesos
- which equals $0.50 USD - except at night, when it
"might" cost a little more. If you take the tourist
taxis, you will easily pay $3-$4 for a ride around
town.
-
A ride from the airport into Habana costs $10-$11.
Even a $1 tip is GREATLY appreciated.....since Cubans
are paid in pesos.
-
ALWAYS check the prices when you go to a restaurant.
They are notorious for "adjusting" prices on your
bill.
-
The Cuban people get paid $10-$20 per month, on
average. This way you can get an idea as to what
would be a "good" tip.

That's all I could think of right now. Hope it helps!
I wish I had had some addresses of dance teachers -
eventually I found some but earlier would have been
better. If you want to email me, I'll send you a few and
also the houses where we stayed, and a couple to avoid.
Also it would have been good to have better information
about how to get between cities, because there are lots of
alternatives - peso bus, dollar bus, train, private car,
tourist coach... but otherwise it doesn;t matter that much,
just have fun!
Bruno,
Being an utter virgin, Cuba's just the place for you. The
Cubans like to say that sex is like food, you go to bed
unhappy if you don't have some everyday.
Suerte,
Pu±eta.
I'd endorse what Diago (no.4) has said above as good advice
Bruno, I think you should stay at home, get in a few
munchies, put your feet up and watch a wee bit of NYPD Blue
- it's more your style. Besides, Cuba is full of bitches
who might just want to give you a slap around the head for
your troubles. Know your limits.
Bruno,
Don't worry about what people say. That is a valid
question. Cuba will be a paradise for you if you are a
virgin. In fact, from my experience about 85 per cent of
male tourists go to Cuba for sex. The government does not
really discourage it becauses it brings in a lot of money.
Anyway, you can have great sex with great women, but you
have to pay for it 95 per cent of the time. But don't let
that discourage you: Cuban women are open, uninhibited,
very sensual and sexual and passionate. They love sex.
I'll explain: People only make about 20-25 dollars a month.
This means they need money from somewhere. Most girls
aren't prostitutes, but when they meet a foreign man, they
want money becasue they think we are all rich (compared to
them we are). These are girls who sleep with Cuban men for
free as opposed to many prostitutes who won't even consider
Cuban men because they make too much from foreigners.
The "good girls" who still ask for money usually are single
mothers or have to support their parents. They usually live
in very bad accommodation so they like staying with you in
a nice bed, and getting nice attention from you. They LOVE
SEX! Even when you pay. Not like prostitutes in your
country or mine.
In Cuba, if you go to a disco most of the girls are
prostitutes which are called "jinitera's". I stayed with a
couple of those, but I've heard some bad stories about
them. They try to rob you when you sleep, so you have to
kick them out when you finish with them. They will say no
and say nice things so you make them stay, but DON'T FALL
FOR IT. Pay about $25-30 for 2-3 hours. You can do whatever
you want, kiss, touch, oral. It's Great.
After a few days I met an Italian guy who always goes to
Cuba. he told me the best thing to do is just to approach
regular girls in the streets. He said just go up to girls
who are sitting in the park or walking around and just ask
them if they are free that night (learn some basic
Spanish). They know what you mean, and if they are
interested they will say "Yes I'm free" and you work out a
time and place to meet. also discuss money. Offer 30
dollars a night or 25 if you only want her for a couple of
hours. I found that you can usually trust these girls to
stay over the whole night, they are very sweet.
I used this method and it worked for me. If a girl told me
no I'm not free, I would just say okay and ask another.
When they say yes and you stay with them one night, you
will find that they don't want to let you go. They will
fall for you and ask you to take them away from Cuba.
The money you pay is more like a present than prostitution.
The girls need the money. I love their company, they like
to be with me, so I gave them a little present every night,
not like real hookers in other countries. Like I said, just
stay away from the "real prostitutes" who hang outside
nightclubs. They are bad news. If you have to go with them,
don't let them sleep over.
I'm telling you all this because I wish I had known this
before I went to Cuba. It is essential knowledge.
Good luck Bruno,
Harry Signal.
That was disgusting Harry! I'm sorry, but rather than being
a prude, I'm just disgusted by your objectification of these
women!
For god's sake, if you must behave like a creep, do you
have to be so blatantly open about it? Exploitation of
women who are economically vulnerable isn't really
something to crow about. Pathetic is what you are.
Ok so Harry likes his hole...big deal. I too am a keen
swordsman. However, by 'utter virgin' I meant that I have
not travelled, not that I have never played hide the
sausage.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Bruno.
P.S road warrior shut the fuck up before I come over to
your house and piss on your head.
Hide the sausage, eh? Where have you been hiding your
sausage Bruno, fucking Alcatraz?! I think you should stick
to the Playboy channel freebies because you're sausage must
be mighty shrivelled after this long without your jam role.
Now, stop telling porky pies or I'll hose you down, king of
the donuts. And Anny, let's have less of the blasphemy you
silly little woman or you may just go to hell for your
troubles.
Harry, Bruno, Road Warrior - you deserve each other. It's
pretty clear that none of you jerkoffs even HAS a penis
(sausage? sausage? what IS that? how incredibly coy you
all are).
I sincerely hope you never make it to Cuba, Bruno, and I'm
sorry I even took your message seriously for a moment. As
for Harry, someone will stick a knife between your ribs
before too long and good riddance. And Road Warrior...just
another tiny dick complex. Why don't you all go back to
the porn pages where you belong, and leave this site to
real travellers?
Anny, I'm the most real traveller you're ever going to meet
you silly little woman, a battle-scarred veteran of a
thousand cheap hotels and rattling taxis. In short, I am a
road warrior. I think you need a sausage injection up the
shit pipe to settle your nerves - I'm sure Bruno would be
more than happy to oblige. Now remember, don't let me see
you here again!
Gosh "Road Warrior" I can tell from the big stupid noises
you make that you've never even left the pub. Who cares
how many crappy doss houses you've stayed in? You clearly
didn't learn anything in any of them, except how to be
incredibly stupid. Or maybe you were always that way.
You're just a stupid jerkoff with a mind as small as your
penis, who hates women and is obviously terrified of them.
You are the one who doesn't belong on these pages,
shithead. Go back to your porn magazines and Mrs. Palmer.
And remember, don't let me see you here again, little
stinking worm.
Anny, have you ever had a fat cock in your mouth? By the
sounds of it I don't think you've had the pleasure yet. It
really would change your life for the better, broaden your
horizons and open your eyes to the joys of hot beef. I
think you should give it a go honey before it's too late.
you've tried it many times Harry, I'm sure you love it.
You have all systematically fucked up my post. Anyone with
any decent info would have pressed the back button as soon
as they entered this page.
Harry was the only one who gave any decent account of
himself. You guys should open your minds to people rather
than sitting in judgement like radamanthen.
I'll take my leave....
Bruno
I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Really, this is
what travelling is all about. Sometimes, you meet people
you like and sometimes, you don't.
Anny, don't take any shit from these guys. I love your
style.
Harry and Road Warrior,(what ever), she has boxed you guys
into a corner and, as an unbaised party, it looks like
you're out classed.
Please feel free to reply but, don't think for a second
that I might give a rats ass about you're opinion.
Bruno, go to Cuba and have a good time.

Anyway, Anny I like your style, you sure don't take any

Harry and Road Warrior(whatever), as an unbiased third
party, it looks as though she has you boxed into a corner

Please, feel free to reply to my post but, don't think for
one second that I give a rats ass about you're opinion.
I too am going to Cuba in the summer, so was intrested in

soap opera!! Jesus guys.... talk about turning a guy's
words around!! Bruno... have a good time, travelling

about Cuba ... what's with the dance lessons?
I attempted to write you, Aussie beachbum, at the above
email address. I tried with and without the word Aussie. If
you want more information, please post your current email
