    How safe is Cuba for tourists outside resorts?

    Someone told me that when you see people queueing in Cuba, you join the queue yourself, because of the shortages. Is this true?

    My Abuela and abuelo left Cuba in the 50 when Castro was about to take over. Do the Cuban people feel safe in Cuba or do they want change? Have you noticed people starting to fight back?

    What misconceptions do people have about Cuba?

    I’m curious if there have been any significant changes for the average Cuban since the exit of the Castros from government.

    Is it still communist or socialist there? I hear that comes with lots of food shortage?

    Do Cubans still learn about Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado or has his presidency been forgotten from the history books?

    If I travel to Cuba where could I meet really pretty girls/women to date and marry. Not for Hook up but actually develop a relationship with them.

    I’ve travelled to Cuba under religious visa a view times. The Cuban people are so genuine and resourceful. Can you tell me anything about Vinales valley that isn’t basic history? The Cubans hosting us brought us there every year, and other than beautiful scenery I was a bit confused and felt like there were deeper roots than what was communicated to us Americans.

    Are you offended with the name Cuba Libre, and if so, is there a name you give to the drink other than Ron y Coca?

    I’m not necessarily saying America right now, but if you wanted to move to, say Canada, could you? Is it difficult to leave the country and would there be repercussions moving back?

    Thanks for this.

    What help, if any, could be given to help people there from where we are with food or basic necessities?

  27. Ok_Bake3729 Avatar

    I have heard due to shortages of food, Cubans do not want tourists to come because they eat majority of what gets brought in and it supports the government’s pockets.

    I know its also one of the few things keeping up the economy… what is the consensus on this actually?

    What kind of permissions do you need to leave the country on vacation? Also do you need a VPN to access Reddit, YouTube and stuff?

    Can you give specific amount of what an average family or a person (for example, 2 adult and 2 small kid) receive as specific as possible?

    What is the situation now in Cuba?

    I have been to Cuba, know much about Cuba and received many high Cuban officials before. I am really curious about detailed amount of what people receive. My original country is carrying out a campaign to support the Cuban people and the result is very impressive, increase hour by hour, surpassing expectations many times over in terms of the amount of money and the number of participants. I love you Cuba the people.

    Thank you

    Is the healthcare system good?

    I’ve also heard Cuba has a very high literacy rate. Is that true?

    Why do people sit facing inwards at the malecon? I was just there for a month and was surprised pretty much everyone sits facing inwards. The ocean looks beautiful, sunsets are especially gorgeous. Yet people would rather face the other way and look at collapsed buildings? I asked people and no one really knew why, they just said it’s just what people do. I’ve never heard of any other costal city where people don’t want to look at the ocean.

    How many Cubans close to your age are fluent in English?
    Do people try to use US dollars to pay for things while hiding that from the government?
    Have you thought about emigrating to the USA or to a Spanish speaking country?

    What’s the reparto scene like? Do young people listen to any other music or has it totally overtaken other genres? How do people feel about Bebeshito?

    30y old Canadian looking to travel to Havana in the next week or so…have been to Cuba before (15 yrs ago). Functional Spanish. Is it a bad time to come? If I do go, I’ll let you know; free drink on me!😊

    From people who visited a few years ago I heard that people find ways to have fun (dancing in the street, socializing and partying until the early morning) despite being destitute and having basically nothing. Is that true or does the regime just make a facade?

    I’m Canadian. What can I bring when I travel to Cuba to give to people, other than money, that will make them happy?

    Twenty years ago, Cubans were able to practice Lucumí / Regla de Ocha publicly without discrimination. Are Cuban people still allowed to practice African Traditional Religion now? Or are there new restrictions that make it difficult.

    What’s a common misconception about Cuba/Cubans?

  47. j_rooker Avatar

    why are Cubans who leave country so pro fascism? Wildest thing- 68% of Cubans voted for America’s first dictator. and it’s hillarious that he deported friends and family of his voters.

    What is something you’d like people outside of Cuba to understand (economically, governmentally, socially, etc.)?

    I’ve seen photos of government officials that are fat and well fed in comparison to common people who are obviously starving and skinny. Do Cuban people resent these obviously corrupt government officials?

    Do you know if Cuba has the problem of Gangstalkers and targeted individuals like which is widespread in the United States right now?
