  • Favorite Thing: The atmosphere in this City - old and new part.-Go visiting people in their local environment - listen to the music - day and night.

    Fondest Memory: Walking around on the Malecon - a few hours before my plane would leave this beautiful country - direction Europe.
    "The cultural shock started in Europe."

  • Favorite Thing: Meeting Pablo in the center of Habana.
    Pablo is a fantastic and interesting person who showed us his Capital.
    Sitting in the central Park of Habana - on a marble bench - late evening, he told us how the gouvernment and especially the "renovating policy" of Habana was like.

    Fondest Memory: Meeting locals was the topic item in Habana and Baracoa.
