They have nothing better to do

Yes, kids playing in the park like it used to be in the US 20 years ago. It's great to see.

@@mtulio6422 They could be in the house playing video games like US kids, gaining weight. They have one of the highest literacy rates in the world for a reason.

@@chillycharles910 They don't have videogames. They neither have enough food to gain weight. But they have to be good at literacy, otherwise how could they read and apply the government's propaganda

I'm a 1st generation Cuban American also😀! I also still have family there.

Facts

Could they find gravel for the floors?

Don't know who told you that. But they are lying to you. Every country has it rundown areas. They always show the part wear earthquake and the hurricane hits. My family lives creat their. They don't even want to come to America. Some families are better off then some just like in America. You family might live in a area, where it constantly gets damaged by mother nature. They show the bad part f Haiti and their is actually beautiful parts in Haiti. America lies a lot.

Cuba's poverty is not very different from that of other Central and Southern American countries. And is poverty not the aim of US sanctions on it?

By visiting there, he is only empowering the people who robbed your family’s land and made Cuban people literally starve. Do not go and give the regime a penny

Beautiful Cuban women if ready for greatness contact me for further details worth life exspectancy trust this process will visit there but want to become an American lady'contact me beautiful idea

You are truly appreciated and Long live the SYNERGY between the 2 great Yoruba People of Cuba and Nigeria. Long live the Tradition of the Orishas and the Afro-Yorubas living in the diaspora!! You are always welcome back home to the Motherland-Africa

I would love to come visit Cuba again...such a beautiful place!

Loved your video. I wish my wife and I were younger,we would definitely go there and enjoy the sights and sounds.We love people and from you have shown us really makes feel good. Thank you very much from Beaumont,Ca

Ard you an african or american?

Same here bro! I’m from Haiti.. ( in NY forever) ..can’t wait to make it to Cuba! Such a strong connection with the culture!

When you get there stay worthless place

The music is SO beautiful and the people are very kind. The beaches are also pretty. It’s very Afro there.. more than outside people know

This is true I saw Haitian flag there

Hi sister I'm Haitian too

Cuba 🇨🇺 is my kinda place. Je suis Haitien

I would love to go there. Maybe one day before I die😉

True!!!

I think the word he was looking for is 'dilapidated'.

They can’t keep up with maintenance because they are worried about the food they are going to put on the table

Exactly what I said. Those buildings are old and historic. Big difference. I was a bit offended at trashy.

It’s really ashamed that these beautiful buildings weren’t maintained. Cuba has it all, great People, great architecture, antique cars, and the beach…….lousy Government that caused this…..and the long lines for food.

We,my daughter who was 12 at the time and me in my fourties’, had the time of our life in Cuba. Nicest people. And very safe

I like that you can pick up every girl in family with parents or with husband and she will have sex with you. it's normal in cuba.

Thats the message you should pass to young people around you and ask them: DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMMUNISM?? How on earth can these professsors from our Colleges preach "SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM" to our youth in our countries ???? Look at what happened to Cubans and all the URSS countries, Vietnam, Laos, Camboja, North Korea, Nicaragua, Venezuela..........

@@frankmorgan2772Do you know what socialism is?🫵🏾

​@@frankmorgan2772You mean communism, right? There's a difference.

Wow, thank you

Trashy that's why you're there..???

All of these people living the same in the same conditions most WAY WORSE off than the average American....Yet half our population is conditioned to think America is a racist shit...hole that most other countries are much better than ours.....

No homeless encampments because they do not have the freedom to do that. They are arrested and put in prison.

Also no guns!

@@rjlovell1 Cubans have more freedoms and better democracy than the theater show in the US. They are in prison, yes, but imprisoned by the US. Why does the US economically blockade a tiny island, if Cuban system is so bad and inefficient? Why not just let them fail on their own? It is the same reason they were afraid of Haiti where slaves freed themselves back in the 1800s. The US cooperated with France and did everything to make sure Haiti remained as poor as possible, because the example it was setting to their own slaves. The US will keep imprisoning Cuba because they know that if they end the blockade, Cuba will prosper.

I Love the fact that no matter what color you are, all are accepted. That’s what I Love about Cuban People. And I’m glad I married one from This Beautiful Island. 😊

Might be a Chevy body with a Ford Engine and a Dodge rear end!!...but the y keep them running!! Very ingenuitive people.

Ok buttkiss Bolshi.

@@ImageOfGod91 Well, it’s a country in South-Eastern Europe, in the Balkans. It’s. ackuntry with a long, sometimes turbulent, history. Serbs have their own language, it is a branch of a broader Slavic language group like Russian,Polish, Chzech. What else would you like to know?

Cuba is a disaster where people have to make a line to buy cigarettes.

The castros and commies have made it a shit hole.

What month is best to go?

@@juanpablomoradelossantos6193 De acuerdo 100% contigo.

Thank you ,for your video of my country.l was born in1954 cuba was not like this cuba had every thing in 1959 Castro took power my country he put cumunist party till now he has destroy this beautiful country l very happy that you are showing the real cuba how people live under communism, every day trying to survive, l wish my country be free of this terrible communism that we have. I live in the United States of America since 1960 thank God to my parents.the have destroy cuba,to much repretoin there is a line for the little food available. I could tell more but it will take a lot of writing.

How long ago was this ?

@@Czechineffect Hey Czech, have you noticed the large majority of Cubans do not owned cell phones in the communities I see are in? Instead of texting they are socializing and interacting with one another. Children on bikes, playing and enjoying themselves that’s normal to them. What we as Americans failed to see the unity and perseverance, the willingness to share and care. Adults walking together talking to one another instead of texting. Americans are becoming desensitized. So what meant was the Cuban people was my reminder when Americans was what was…..in the so call Ghetto areas did you clean clothing, sneakers etc……without a washing machine. Thanks

I know on which you speak. I have always listened to Jazz music. I have like 3 to 4 thousand CD’s in my collection. I have along with my Jazz Merengue Salsa Brasilian, that would consist of Bossa Nova’s and Samba’s. And Afro Cuban. I don’t speak Portuguese nor Spanish. I’m just a lover of my music. I used to live in NYC. I live in Indiana now.

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

They play in the streets because it is very safe, no kidnappings, no fear. Poor but safe, I was there in 2020.

Seeing the park seem to make me get excited really nice to see.!!😊

That's because the people there aren't allowed to own phones and cars. They probably have no electricity in their homes to charge the phones anyway. These "tourist" handclaps and cheers about Cuba makes me laugh because you are only allowed to visit their best areas. The rest of the island would horrify you and boggle your mind

@@pollypurree1834They can’t have phones?

@@DBrown-vg1fi Nope because their homes don't have any electricity. They can't charge them. No communist country have homes that have electricity. They use kerosene lamps for light. When I was a tourist in the former Soviet Union in 1991, not a single home had electricity and nobody owned a car. By banning electrified homes, people cannot communicate with one another to set up an overthrow of the government. Without cars, people cannot get together in large groups to stage an overthrow. The government wants you to be as helpless as possible.

That's not saying much

​@@stj971 Perspective!

Why didn't you stay there

philly is a warzone literally

Yes probably safer than where I live in Atlanta

I would feel much safer there then NY. City. And thats being pefectly honest. And probaly would be.

The big problem with the cars is parts were always a problem so nothing is ever original they find a way and solve it . works for them but all looks not a good investment in most all of these cases. Just saying. I had a friend who went specifically to look for cars this was the major problem he faced. But there still cool to see. He was amazed at some of the inovations they used to keep these oldies alive.

Thanks fam I appreciate you

Glad you enjoyed it!

Visiting there is a double edge sword, because they know you’re coming from a country that has money, and they have none. You come and look at their lives in poverty - and you leave - and go back to your fat American life. I’m not criticizing, because I’ve been to places like this, and always have mixed feelings. A friend of mine from Uruguay, who lived in Miami for a couple years, said you should appreciate that just living in America with citizenship, makes you privileged and your possibilities, compared to these people, is limitless.

you call that blending in? hahahah

🤣

Sadly, person filming is the trashy one going to Cuba clearly ignorant of the struggles these folks have and how difficult life is for them thanks to his county and corrupt government. Then having audacity to call these historic streets “trashy” which is so rude and disrespectful as he profits off these videos exploiting these people in their own county.

@@SR-fd7dj Where are you from?

Safer than in some places in the US. Never felt in danger in Cuba and it is a lot cleaner than some some parts of US cities. The video itself attests to the exaggeration of "trashy". Took a taxi from Havana to Santiago de Cuba. No problem. If you go to Havana, visit Regla. Old Havana is special. Go with an open mind. Havana is safe and the rest of Cuba is just beautiful.

America is not that safe, especially in the hood. lol

​@SR-fd7dj Yes! And he didn't even offer food to the bike driver. He is the trashy, low level one I agree

You should go also

You talk as if he was the first one or something...

@@MankindFails you talk as if if you’re a hater or something. 😒🤣 I’m just acknowledging the brother for doing what he’s doing and doing it well. You mad?

@@newbreedian Bro I love your comment! Nice to see a brother using electricity and a keyboard. My father used childish emojis when he was young and had a great time. Thanks for sharing bro.

Thank you Amerikkka that beautiful island is like that . Since Cuba refused to be controlled .

I believe the water made your stomach hurt, you have to make sure you get bottled water.

These peoples are 1 of gods chosen tribes of the 12 tribes of Israel/Jacob that were scattered on the islands and throughout the 4 corners of the earth due to their foreparents disobedience. They lost their identity, culture, etc by the other nations as its written in the book of Psalms Chapter 83. All of the curses they are under are written in the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 28. God is waking up his people again little by little in these end times and will gather them again as the bible says 🙏🏾

@@RT-xj4sd As brief as your comment is, whatever you are attempting to convey concerning whatever subject matter you may have perceived it to be has become muddled, stuck in your brain, and indecipherable, causing it to remain in your mindset and thought process. For the sake of clarity and keeping in mind my third-grade education, using plain English would you care to elaborate by articulating and expounding upon the aforementioned subject matter in such a manner that even an uneducated backwoodsman-type individual like myself might possibly comprehend? All MEN were created EQUAL...then SOME joined the Marine Corps...

@@RT-xj4sd Control? Is there no resources in Cuba that can be used to develop the country?

It's Cuba. 😊

I agree

Believe me, everybody in Cuba would LOVE to have those material things. Most cubans would tell you they have enough to survive, but not enough to live. It's a very safe place for tourists because there's a policeman in almost every corner, and tourists is one of the most important thing for their economy.

@@timbero2006 That is correct. Unfortunately the corporate USA & its allies are punishing innocent Cubans in order to punish the government. I think we are entering a period where this corporate power is crumbling and as a new multipolar world emerges. It is just a matter of time. I am sure the resilient Cubans will prevail soon.

@@timbero2006 - true. Crimes against each other DO occur. Same with tourists like pick pockets. I have lost several pair of sunglasses there. They tag team you!! It’s something that is generally never followed up by the victim. They won’t steal a Gucci purse or Rolex, but a Timex?? No problem!! Haha. It’s the way it is. I went back t9 the stands I was near when I lost my sunglasses and they already had tags on them and were on the vending table!! 😂😂. I bought the pair of Serengetis back for about $8 USD because I had paid closer to $200 US for them by the time I had prescription lenses added. That was a good deal in itself! They knew I was aware so had dropped the price from $50.00. I’m not gonna turn them in. Had they asked I would have just given them more than $10, but they stole from me. The $$ they make off of the snatched items doesn’t have to be reported to the Government as revenue. I bet they were touching your stomache looking for a money belt. A lot of the stores are not always stores but government supply stores as the people get food allotments from the Government. The store like the poster did find have popped up a lot since I used to go there.

We ate in a “restaurant” our illegal Cabbie took us to. It was really fantastic and they insisted we ate until we were absolutely full. We were likely in their courtyard, which was in a rough looking area, but the courtyard may as well have been at the resort. The meal was very inexpensive, but we left a big tip. Since the first time we have gone back to Havana 11 more times and ate there every time. We would call ahead and they took great care of us every time. We generate we’re able to get the same Cabbie as well. He had us over to his home and everything. It turned into a big party with the other tenants in the building!! We got home at sunrise!! One of the most memorable times we had in any part of the world including home!! Even the kids were up until 2 or 3 am!! 😂😂😂. The people can be amazing, but you have to exercise common sense as well. I was in law enforcement back then and am retired now. I have something going on with my pancreas now so travel is much more difficult. That’s life!! 😊😊. Thanks for sharing. Be careful, but if you are going to go frequently, it’s great if you can make some trustworthy contacts. Or at least contact that YOU can trust. Like you said, it’s a constant hustle!!

The Bronx

Because there are actual consequences for committing crimes

Error de vista y desconocimiento de tu parte, Cuba si está llena de policías, mucho más en estás partes más empobrecidas de las ciudades, lo que tú no ves es muchos policías uniformados por que la mayoría es policía encubierta o secreta vestidos como un ciudadano común, pero los cubanos han desarrollado el sexto sentido la percepción y el olfato por lo que han aprendido a identificarlos aunque estos agentes se disfracen, el Cubano sabe quién es un ciudadano común o es un agente de la policía o informante, si alguna vez sucede algo como una pelea o un problema ect verás más de 20 de esos agentes secretos aparecer de la nada y comenzar a arrestar y reprimir, el Cubano de calle como estos de los barrios saben que están siendo vigilados y controlados todo el tiempo nadie mejor que ellos para saberlo es algo que viven desde niños, Un error que cometen muchos extranjeros es querer afirmar cosas de la vida y entorno de los Cubanos sin ud conocerlo, a los cubanos les cae mal eso y lo toman como altanería y que los quieres hacer tontos o estupidos queriendo saber más que ellos de su entorno y hábitat, es mucho mejor que les preguntes con humildad buscando información y ya con eso te los ganas, recuerda que es otra cultura diferente a la tuya y tienen otros códigos y conceptos. Nunca les afirmes cosas que desconoces por lo que ves a simple vista, siempre Pregunta..

There’s undercover police everywhere like the guy above me said in Spanish

@@OmarLopez-ok6qv este nunca va entender lo que es vivir en país comunista

Undercover police and surveillance are out in the mix,let alone getting arrested and jail time can be brutal.

Did you enjoy their freedom and contitutional rights?

I thought Cuba was Safe?

Cuba is the best. Dont pay attemption to the negative propagand coming out of Miami. Cuba is the best, better than the Bronx in NY and Liberty City in Florida, or many cities of the Unites States !

@@ciprianocornelio1624 Are you serious? The best in what, in misery? I'm cuban, I know Cuba is not the best. Have you gone to the dirty hospitals, without medicaments and medical material? Or have you depended on a food suply book, with everytime, less food? CUba is good for its beaches, music, culture, yes those things are good, but the life is very difficult because we don't have the essentials and live doing lines the whole day, just to buy chicken or oil, and if you find these food, you're lucky. By the other hand, Cubans cannot protest against the regime. A regime that is in the hands of a family that has its businesses and collects money from tourism, cigars, and business abroad but does not invest it in the population.

But people made them so right
