Cuba is witnessing an economic crisis that has turned the island clock
back 30 years, to the so-called "special period".
And so, a new mass exodus of Cubans is underway,
the largest in many a decade.

Notwithstanding, the number of tourists (Canada still in the lead)
increased in 2023: 2.1 million between Jan. and Nov., +158.1%
as compared to 2022, but 48% less than the same period in 2019,
the year preceding the “plandemic”.

Nevertheless, Cubans suffer hardship and severe shortages
of everything from basic necessities (eggs, bread, sugar, butter, meat)
to transportation fuel and medicine and construction materials.

Bottom line, many say that the worst shortage
- for Cubans who cannot afford exile - is that of hope.

For "all-inclusive" tourists and the many new
5-star hotels that have appeared as quickly as the
new variants of "plandemia", this does not pose a major problem.

But for travelers in casas particulares where rooms are rented,
the owners no longer serve meals or only a very basic breakfast.
Travelers must therefore find (and reserve) a table
every evening in the numerous restaurants
which elaborate their daily menus according
to the meat, fish and vegetables and fruits available.

Arriving visitors may bring unlimited quantities* - without customs fees -
of food, and hygiene products. * Max. weight 50kg

Che in Palestine 1959

On 29 October 1956 Israel invaded Sinai in collusion with Britain and France. The attacking Israeli soldiers entered Khan Younis on 3 November 1956, and collected some 520 males between the ages of 15 and 50 from their homes and shot them in cold blood at their doorstep or against a wall in the town’s main square.

Nearly 10,000 private businesses are now running in Cuba;
Robinette Biden's buds claim it's a myth.

US Dull As / Euros are the most interchangeable
currencies and the ones preferred by private Cuban shops / home owners.
You can also use and exchange Canadian dollars
and pounds sterling, Swiss pounds and Japanese Yen.

State-run enterprises and banks use official exchange rates,
but the superior services offered by private businesses
generally reflect the more favorable black market exchange rates.
