My Trip to Cuba 2000 - Havana Video

I thought I'd put this together for those of you who have never been Cuba so you can see what an average day is 1ike in the streets of Havana Vieja. This was taken on a hot summer weekday in mid June of 2000.

In addition, this video was taken the second day I was there and was shot while I was on my way to Panga's house for my first conga lesson. All I did was set my Hi-8 Camcorder on a tripod and let the film roll.

In this video you'll see Cubans chatting, walking around, tourists, etc. along with a birds eye view of how life really is living in Cuba.

Also, when I first arrived there it was a culture shock because I had come from the United States and had never seen in person any country like Cuba let alone an economy of such a state.

I believe this video brings to life the reality of what I saw through my camera lens; therefore, I'm now sharing it with you.

Soy Puertorriqueno y aeromozo, he visitado a todos los paises en America del norte, central y sur menos cuba, porque por ser americano se me prohibe, tengo muchisimos amigos cubanos, y viendo este video me doy cuenta como a los cubanos se les ha privado de vivir en en 2011, de disfrutar de la tecnologia moderna y salir de los tiempos de los 60's y 70's,

@REPOMAN24722 Gather people who have the same thought as you. Encourage them, provoke them. Or just simply participate in an anti-Government group that already exist. If your society is really fucked up, there should be many people like that around the country.

@aclock2 One person cant do anything to change a political system, one man cant start a revolution.

@REPOMAN24722 It's not entirely about the system. There are many factors that affect the condition of a country. If you are an Australian you love your country, you should stay and try to make it a better place instead of moving into where you think is a better place. Otherwise, move on.

I am planning on moving there to live, I live in Australia and it is a horrible life living in povery in Australia, all pollititians here weather it be labour or liberal are like tyrants and dictators, I want to live in a communist country where everyone is equal, I know someone whi lives there and they have a higher standard of living than the US and Australia.
