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.

    Not really. I mean I met Cubans that live in Florida but visiting home though I wouldn’t call them gusanos since many of them just want a better quality of life but don’t really blame the government. I would say the closest thing I’ve met to a Gusano are westerners that are living in Cuba for years since some of them just straight up went on a speech about how the Cuban government makes so much money from hotels and such but pay their workers very little and that the government is starving the locals by hoarding the food for themselves (because the officials are apparently fatter). Also heard from them that it’s impossible for locals to protest their living conditions because they get sent to prison or killed.
