... het politieke en culturele hart van Cuba waar de militaire parades worden gehouden en waar Fidel Castro zijn toespraken hield waar vaak meer dan een miljoen mensen bij aanwezig waren. Tevens is hier het Ministerie van Binnelandse zaken gevestigd waar Che Guevara kantoor hield. Het beeld op het gebouw is geinspireerd op de wereldberoemde foto die Alberto Horda maakte met hieronder de woorden "Hasta la victoria siempre" (blijf ...

... org/wiki/Granma_%28 yacht%29 ) et des mecs qui fument le Havane? Fidel, Va te faire mettre. Sinon, a tous mes amis qui ont un T shirt Che Guevara, ou qui trouvent que Cuba c'est trop un exemple (pas d'analphabetes, medecine gratuite), je vous dis: economisez, payez vous un voyage, et apres on discute. Mais malgré tout, y a eu pleins de moments extraordinaires. Pour ceux qui connaissent: Un chtit concert gratuit de NG La Banda en plein air, et un ...

... with an "electrified" showerhead to heat the cold water as it passes through. Attached to the showerhead is what I now call a "bidet on a rope", a miniaturized showerhead, hanging from a 5 foot rubber hose. The importance of this shower extension doesn't make sense to me, although I've seen it in other parts of Central America, until my visit to Cuba. There is an absence of toilet paper in most of Cuba.

The ferry arrives and we press forward, pay our 1 cuc each to someone who is stood by the ferry entry door and after striding over the gap between ferry and the broken dock, we find something to hang on to in this standing only public transport. It is quite a smooth 20 minute trip across the inlet and we come ...

... were walking". I don't think she took it very seriously when I told her we were not walking like them. Hey, they learn to dance as soon as they can stand up, so I personnaly think that they walk like they dance, not the contrary. Not that it really matters in the end... but infact it does, as I need to intellectualise in order to learn, whereas others would just need to feel it.

Lá, conhecemos um casal italiano que já tinha tirado mais de 300 fotos em um dia. Monumento a José Martí e o Che na parede do prédio do ministério do Interior. Outro cocotaxi, com uma motorista que é formada em engenharia de tráfego aéreo ...

... many more across the globe (most recently of course Afghanistan and Iraq) have fallen victim to their destabilising meddling for personal gain. But given the blatantly partisan view on display within the museum I can’t for a second believe that Cuba always responded to these invasion attempts as blamelessly as is made out either, and the last thing I saw before leaving the building made me question this skewed representation even more. Three large and rather ...
