Habana, Habana and more Habana 17-24


A closeup of Hotel Nacional, which was in fact, constructed by the Italian Maffia. They even had their shit here. It has 400 something rooms, and it is expensive, that is all I needed to know. I wanted to sacar some dinero there, but they said my card was denied. I felt so poor.


A part of centro Habana, this picture was taken from my veranda at my casa particular. It shows the real picture of Cuban life. Kinda. These are the kind of images I saw sometimes on the tellie. It is really nice though, just like the tourist manuals describe, the people really do play dominoes on the corners of the streets.


This is the other direction, but the same road, calle Hospital


Yes, a real Chinatown. It was cool, everything was kinda different. The buildings were painted, and there were restaurants everywhere. Strangely there weren’t many Chinese people….


Even the graffiti was Chinese


Just take a look at these prices. Imagine, camaron and langosta are shrimp and lobster respectively. Just LOOK AT THE GODDAMN PRICES.


That’s the group of people I was with. We encountered a Japanese bitch, and she was fun. The guy in the blue is Luis our Cuban friend, and most of the other people are Belizeans from my school. We were just really happy. And most of us were drunk.


That’s the capitolio. It was modeled after the real capitol building in Washington DC but this one is taller, it is 92 metres. I think it still serves as a seat of congress but most of the building is a tourist attraction. It looks better at night than it does during the day.
