Big ups big brother
I'll be out there this summer with an "educational" group chapter of AKAs out of D.C.
Anything I should look for, I got a 10 day itinerary and all, but anything else I should most definitely check out?
What the women looking like?
What the night looking like?
Things to look out for:
Public bathrooms aren't "free". They usually have somebody outside guarding it and u have to pay them up to $1 to use. Some bathroom don't have toilet paper, best to bring your own
Some places run out of food and that'll be it for the rest of the day. Went to a pizza shop and they ran out of the large pizza, I had to settle for small. Got a hamburger and they didn't have anymore ketchup.
There's no such thing as free wifi. To get wifi you have to buy a wifi card from a phone company office. The lines are usually long. After you get your wifi card, you then have to find a hotel to access a wifi connection. Depend on which card you buy that is how long you will have wifi for. I believe an hr of wifi is $1-2
There's a hop on hop off bus tour that will take you around to the spot and you can use it for the whole day.
Cubans are generally friendly but every now and then while you'll come across a hustler that will want to show you around, tell you where the best restaurant in Cuba is, where the best cigars in Cuba is, etc. they'll even offer to lead you to the spot. They can be pretty persistent too, just let them know you good
As far as the women, they look like every other Spanish women. Lot of fishnet stockings, a few bad one here and there...if your Spanish is good then you should be straight
Can't really tell you much about the night life, I would be out all day that by time I came back I would pass out and go to sleep. From what I've seen in Havana there definitely a nightlife
