Everything you've said as far as I've heard is just the opposite. You think you are going to the most miserable country in the world, where there are the least human rights in the world, where there is the most racism in the world, and the worst place to live in the world, and you think you know something about Cuba. Not a penny is invested in the welfare or benefit of Cubans, everything is used in State terrorism, especially against the black population, with the highest rate of black prisoners in the world by number of population. more than 100,000, in a country that does not reach 10 million inhabitants. If there is a lot of drugs, and stone in center Habana they and in the marginal neighborhoods. There is also extreme violence and firearms. It is no longer safe, they kill you for anything.

Being a doctor in Cuba is like being a teacher ... a public service, not a place to get rich ... because everyone deserves healthcare and to be educated (Cuba also has one of the highest literacy rates in the world 👍🏽).

Actually quite far from it. They are treated like prisoners in their own country and are not paid anything close to a living wage. I would know, my husband is a surgeon and his salary was about $35/month. No Cuban can provide for their family with that.. On top of that, most specialists and surgeons are regulated and cannot leave the country (essentially a no fly list) and it doesn't even matter if they have a visa or passport from another country. It takes years for them to get the same basic rights as a citizen in a half decent country. Cuba is beautiful, but you cannot have that opinion about their medical field if you haven't lived it, sorry.

​@shellybellyluv Cubas economic turmoil is directly correlated to the colonial oppression America has inflicted upon them. 99% of the UN agrees that Cuba needs humanitarian and economic aid. Nothing is being done for them because of America. The government cannot provide suitable living conditions for their people because there is no money. They are not allowed to sell to nearly the entire world. What do you think, a doctor is gonna make 100k a year out of thin air? Who's supposed to foot his salary? Communism and the Cuban government are not the issue. Even JFK was willing to open talks with Castro and look at what they did to him and nobody has tried since.

Hi, my sweetheart and I love your videos! We are both in the “65 and over” age range and are about to travel to Cuba ( this time to Trinidad) for our second trip. We are both on a fixed income and your budget tips are very helpful. Thank you for that! I have 2 questions. Do you have any cautions about the water/ ice in cuba? I noticed the consumption of beverages with ice and veggies ( typically washed in the local water)in your videos. Also, you stated that an American can bring in cigars for personal use only. In June of 2022 we went to Vinales Valley, bought five cigars, but customs at Ft Lauderdale airport stopped us and confiscated the cigars. They said it is absolutely not permitted. Any thoughts?

Hello, and thank you for the video. My wife and I just started looking into visiting Cuba a couple of days ago, and I am a little confused about a couple of things you mentioned. I am in contact with a Cuban tour company that has set up an itinerary for our visit, and they have hotels and restaurants included in the stay. You stated we cannot stay in hotels or eat at restaurants, but the tour has us doing both. They even bring you to two beaches, and say to bring your beach clothes, which means swimming while we are there. Is this video (your experience) for people traveling as individuals? Or are you saying even on scheduled tours, you cannot do these things? Thanks again, I'm going to watch your Everything You Need to Know video next.

I went to Cuba last May and stayed at a hotel in a resort and they did not have any shortcomings that you mentioned in the video. Food was in plenty and so was the wi-fi . There was only a shortage in butter and foreign liquor .So if you go for an "all inclusive stay " you are practically okay. However your video applies to the people who do not stay in these hotels and resorts but who travel on their own staying at air B&B's and also to the backpacking tourists. I noticed that most of the staff in the hotels were all dressed well in nice clothes when they were going home and I wondered from where they had all these nice shoes and handbags ! I don't think that they get all these from the tourists. Maybe they can buy them in the black market. So I guess there are some luxuries in Cuba. BTW if you guys are from the US how did you manage to go to Cuba as I thought that USA does not permit their citizens to go to Cuba ? Like to know about it .

The trade embargo includes a 180 day rule, which means any ship that has traded with Cuba, be it Canadian, Indian, Russian or Chinese, cannot enter an American port for 6 months, not even a fuel stop. This makes it very difficult logistically for any country to trade with Cuba. This is why Cuba has the highest freight prices in the world, which has significantly slowed the country's development and prevented mutually beneficial international trade. Their sugar industry has collapsed due to the difficulty of importing fertilizer. Before the revolution, hundreds of thousands of Cubans couldn't read or see a doctor and worked in conditions akin to slavery on sugar plantations owned by absentee American landlords. The entire country was essentially a Casino for rich American business men, where hungry people had to hike for miles on foot around golf courses and private land. Now, over 90% of Cubans own their home. They might not always have specific foods, but they always have food, they have some of the best medical outcomes in Latin America, they may be poor but they have dignity.

Your detailed comment really helps us understand the challenges faced by Cuba. Appreciate your insight!

Please know that if you state that you are "supporting the Cuban people", US customs will automatically tag you to search ALL your luggage and confiscate all cigars and rum. This happened to me mid April 2023. Maybe state another reason?

Thanks for watching my video and supporting. I put supporting the Cuban people and none of that happened to me in january. Maybe it has changed but I didnt see anybody that happened to even my friends who traveled with me and did the same. Im sorry that happened to you. Also I got Cuban Cigars from the cuban people and they were unbranded because the branded ones are government cigars. I got it from the cuban people

Yes definitely show your candian passport and from what I have heard canadian credit and debit cards work

doctors are part of a major scale of intricate networks in the world 🌎 Currently, in any place you visit a doctor they will tell you they have a unique role, they are basically like a close person in your family. Presently, in places where Cuban doctors are, I do know from experience that they do have a lot of duties to perform as directed by the government. They don't have any sort of financial aid or can take any liberties, I know that much. Whatever services they are specilized in they get paid accordingly, however, they receive the bare minimum of what a McDonald's worker makes in a day. The main point is that although the system is bad. The Cuban government does have a major role in which they play their cards well and they pay for the education of their workers that being said medical students don't have to pay the government.
