Edit: Closing the AMA since I am pretty close to concluding my trip and therefore will be posting pictures/reflections which will give more opportunity to ask more questions!

You probably remembered my post earlier asking about places that I need to visit while in Cuba and as I am close to concluding my trip and a few days away to fly back home, I’d like to give everyone an opportunity to ask any questions that they might have about Cuba. I’ll post photos as well as my own thoughts/reflections when I’m back home so until then feel free to ask any questions. As for proof (if it’s needed), Mods could check the IP I’m posting from as I’m currently on Cubacel. I wish I could post a photo as proof but the internet infrastructure here is 3G and therefore would consume a lot of data just from me posting a picture.

    What was the quality of life like for people?

    Did you see any cool cuban hacking tech? I've read that because of the embargo, cubans have to repurpose a lot of vintage electronics into new technology.

      It’s dropped a bit because the pandemic really hit the Cuban economy hard and combine that with the blockade, it’s somewhat desperate times for Cubans especially when Cubans would do so much for foreign money.
