Don't buy Street cigars
   
  Don’t buy cigars in the street unless you can enjoy bad quality cigars. Many People will approach in the streets of Havana city mainly asking you to buy cigars. Also around the Partagas store near the Capitolio.
 
Beware about drinks for cuban
   
  Beware of new cuban friends who invite you to party as you might end up having to pay for all the drinks.
 
Recommended Items to bring as a present
   
  -For Men: t-shirts, second hand jeans

-For kids: school supplies, pencils, colours, calculators, colouring books, dolls, toys (donate to schools)

-For women: perfume, lipsticks

-For everybody: toothpaste, toiletries, shoes, runners, caps, medical supplies
 
Things to consider in Hotel Telegrafo in Havana
   
  They seemed to have a lot of problems, water and eletricity you may be transfered. They may also just be double booking!
 
Melia Varadero in Varadero is boring
   
  It’s more like a 3 star hotel, good food but always the same, entertainment boring, dead at 11 pm, freezing cold pool
 
Taxi issues
   
  -Try to always use the taximeter

-If arranging a price with a taxi driver, beware he might expect for a tip anyway
 
Astro buses
   
  Full of Cubans, with a limited number of seats available to tourists, they’re set up for transport not commercial comfort; the air conditioning is freezing, TVs play continuous loops of loud Latino pop singers, toilet stops are rare and repulsive.
 
The back of a truck
   
  Skin to skin in the back of a truck is cheap, hot, stuffy and crowded. Bumps and rattles on the road are an apt soundtrack to the passing landscape. But what remains unforgettable is the bonding that occurs when strangers are held close together like this; communication becomes a gesture and a smile treasured
