I learned from an Aussie friend that nearly half of the Cubans living in Old Havana were staying in residences unfit for humans.
On the last touring day we stepped off the main roads and saw a very different sight. The houses were so disgusting and broken down. I couldn’t believe people were actually living there.
I instantly became grossed out and didn’t want to eat or drink anything from there. I’ve worked in restaurants before and could only imagine what the kitchens looked like. Gross.
You can tell at one point the buildings were really beautiful but it’s been years since they’ve had new paint or work done. They’re all washed out and the concrete is crumbling.
There are residences with very narrow staircases where the first floor is all dirty and inhabited then you look up and see laundry hanging out the second and third floor windows.
We passed a block that looked abandoned and dirty then a couple doors down, a furnished house with working TV.
A bunch of kids were playing volleyball in a square amongst more dilapidated buildings and half of them had no shoes on.
It made me sad to see a place I though was so beautiful was really a shell of what it once was. So many stories and photos from differnt stuff.
I’ve got cuban cars, food, style, travellers, music and more all written and I just need to post them. I would have taken week to do it there! I really enjoyed learning about life there.
how much is milk worth there?

You really have to get out and see the world.. You call yourself a traveller but you stay in resorts. That's not experiencing other cultures… These people are not as poor as you think compared to other places… Cubans ar emaking the best with what they have… You are way too spoiled. You are long overdue a good kick in the ass by REALITY…
What's wrong with the places they live in? It's a home to them. They make it a home with love, family, songs, stories etc.. Not with fake ass material shit that you most likley think makes a home a home…
Wake up Casie.. You are smarter than this… Leave the bubble

This article presents clear idea for the new users of blogging, that really how to do running a blog.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter
a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and without a
doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.
