Yes, we are in Cuba. For the second day now. Eating is cheap, but the basic food we all crave, information, our beloved internet, is about the most expensive thing to have here.
It’s slow (imagine an old 56k modem, split for a whole room of tourists. You get the picture), expensive (12 euros an hour right now) and about as common as brand merchandise. (not at all.)
Yesterday we spent three hours in the classic cuban art of waiting in line, for our phone SIM. When we finally got to the booth we were informed that, tourists that we are, we couldn’t buy the cheaper pay-once variety, but had to settle for a completely unsettling three euros per f”””ing day. Halleluja!
And yeah, we took some pictures, and refined our concept, and heard some wonderful latin free jazz in the Jazz Cafe (Cuban Elite Hotspot. Be there or be .. lower class.)
Cheers from paradise,
