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.
It’s sorta been a long dream of mine to visit Cuba especially since I was curious to see how it’s been able to operate under the blockade. Having studied a good amount of Cuban history as well, I wanted to see some of the monuments and memorials in Cuba and decided to come here to see those as well as interact with the Cuban people. I am an American but it’s not hard to visit Cuba as an American besides filling out a scary OFAC affidavit before your flight stating that you’re not traveling to Cuba for tourist purposes but under a general category (most Americans circle Support for the Cuban People since that encompasses many things). Much easier compared to the 2000s where you pretty much couldn’t go to Cuba at all and as a result need to fly to 3rd country and make sure your passport wasn’t stamped. Now there’s direct flights from US to Cuba.
