Cuba is not dangerous, regardless of what the Oligarchy of the United States says.';

>is it reasonable or am I retarded?
prepared to be scammed at every turn. nobody except touts speak english. it is a vastly overrated, expensive, low value, shithole. mexico is better by every metric.';
'>>2657445
There is literally no reason to pick one Spanish-speaking Caribbean shithole over another
Why not just go to Puerto Rico instead so at least your sales taxes are going to your own government?';
'>>2657545
Exact this
Also food is scarce and bad. It's also hard to come by bottle water. And no "corner shops" where you could grap a cold bottle of soda.
Its a shithole. Like going to Haiti but without the crime.';

A couple of reasons: it's a different country and one that is still viewed with a sort of mystique due to my country's relationship to it, a handful of historic sites (like El Morro and Old Havana), and just general interest in seeing how the country functions first hand.
I do want to visit Puerto Rico eventually, but it seems like it'll be easier to do that even when I have less time than I do now.';

Shalom';
'>>2657574
yeah i didnt even get into the food. really its the worst part and in the end the issue that will destroy any vestiges of a positive impression. the food is depression tier - western prices & literally a step above mud pies.
>Puerto Rico
there are too many other rational options available to justify wasting time, money, and peace of mind in cuba.';
'>>2657579
I forgot to mention it's also because I heard they only have two kinds of beer and both are piss poor
I want to see how bad it is firsthand and then never think about it again';
'>>2657547
Yeah cause I really want more of my tax dollars going towards Israel and gibs for nigs. Kill yourself kike';
'Does Cuba have a decent internet connection yet ? I would LOVE to digital nomad there but apparently it's slow as fuck. Why can't they invest in some decent internet? Even shitholes like the Philippines have good internet now.';

>Does Cuba have a decent internet connection yet
lol, no. its slow, very expensive, only available in a handful of hotspots in the blazing sun, and most sites are blocked. nothing works there...NOTHING.';
'How mad will the Commies be if I try to hand out Spanish versions of Mises Human Action';

>Why can't they invest in some decent internet?
It's called "authoritarianism"';

You'll probably get arrested and shot';
'>>2660148
China, Russia, Britain, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Dubai have great internet though. Even Laos, Cambodia and Thailand have good internet despite being authoritarian.';
