A long walk on the streets of Havana. I start near my AirBnb in Old Havana, walk through the popular tourist spot Plaza Vieja, then proceed towards el Centro.
Best unfiltered POV I’ve seen of Havana’s current state. I live there but taking a break due to its economic situation. Well done “Maple Leaf”! 😉 Also… Cuba is a ghost town all over due do to it’s fuel shortage.
Thanks for that. Yes, there are so few cars on the road, I did'nt realize there was a fuel shortage thought it was just not being able to afford gas mostly.
In the Old Havana area there are many restaurants. Buying food from a supermarket to cook seems a problem. Fruit is very good there. Decent restaurants I went to include: El Mercedero, elegant dining room, professional waiters. Not so expensive Restaurante Sarrá - Loved the chicken tacos, cheap Restaurant Bulgaria - Not bad, entire fish was good. El Shamuskiao - Vegan restaurant but the Spaghetti Bolagnaise was great. Tasted better than the meat version.
We went to Cuba three years ago. We've been trying to book again for next year, but all the agents in the UK have stopped taking bookings stating it's unsafe at the moment!
That's strange, Old Havana was not at all unsafe when I was there. Maybe other parts of Cuba are, I can't speak to that. Perhaps check out Copa Airlines, their hub is Panama City, Panama. If you can get to Panama there are quite a few flights to Havana.
why do most cars in North America have alarms if it's safe? Why do many homes in North America have expensive burglar alarms if it's' safe? Why does my local Walmart have quite a few security guards if its safe?
@@pddembowski not sure. but i know i have no interest in ever returning to cuba as things are now. communism has not served them well overall. yes, lots of it has to do with economic sanctions. as a tourist i'm not interested in anything except the very best. i want good looking happy locals, beautiful buildings and scenery, and nice restaurants and shops. not interesting in what i experienced in cuba. i've been to many trash 3rd world nations and seen poor people enough for a lifetime. poor is common. i stay away from poor nations now. been there, don't that. i've been to over 50 countries and life is too short to waste time on poor and disorganized people, even if they're smiling.

NO SHIT! Sois The UK!
The UK is 100 times more dangerous than Cuba.
hey man, uploaded this video while in Cuba?
Hi, no way..it is a 32 minute 4k video. Very large file.. I edit and upload here in Canada
Why do they have burglar bars if it is safe? Every building looks like 100 year old stone. Nothing new.

i got better cuban food in miami than cuba, sadly.
I'm curious why they need to import chicken in Cuba. I've been to quite a few poor countries and their did'nt seem to be issues raising chickens.
