My Final Thoughts of Visiting Havana Cuba 

Tourists and cubans live different realities in that country

Brother Sly keep up the good work. Your videos are very informative and represent brothers from the states very well. Appreciate you.

Sly thanks man, Cuba series is on point 🎯💯⭐️👌, through your videos It’s like experiencing without the physical presence

Love your content man. You motivated me to get back into making vids myself. Been having a lot of fun with my Puerto Rico series.

Your video series documenting your visit to Cuba is fantastic , thank you

Thanks so much. I REALLY enjoyed this series

Sly great series as always bro!! I've always wanted to go to Cuba man really thinking about it next year.

I was born in cuba and tourist mostly see the good side of the island 🏝 I only go back once in a while due to family but it’s very sad and depressing seeing what the Cuban people have to go through just to survive !! Viva cuba libre

This was an interesting and enjoyable journey. Thank you

really enjoyed your videos on Cuba. I went there in January for the first time in the Holguin area. It blew my mind. Both the beauty but also the extreme struggle. I had no idea. and have been back 3 times. Always with a suitcase of clothes and health products to give away. Its a very captivating place on many levels. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Really useful thanks. Heading to Havana next week

Great job as always Sly, and I watched a Venezuela Vlog earlier today, and it brought me to tears seeing so much potential being wasted like here. This reminds us all these are human beings never having a chance to fulfil their dreams.

I like your perspective it's really informative 👍

Another "grandslam"! I've always wanted to visit Cuba. Appreciate your motivation!

I am soooooo back and forth on Cuba. My big 50 is coming up and I really want to visit, but I also want a smooth and nice trip. More research is definitely needed. I may have to get that ebook. With all of the recent youtubers that have gone there the reports are still all over the map. Thanks for posting the experience. I'll watch all of your Cuba series before deciding...

I'm Cuban, and I spent one month in 2019 in an apartment a friend from La Lisa HABANA country. He helped me out sínce I left my CUBA with my Parents when I was almost 15 years old. I enjoyed my time in HABANA and MATANZAS, where I was born and went to school at. I'm glad you liked it. By the way I cooked most of the time, and met other great people.

Your glued to your internet access. As a Canadian, I've been there several times. I liked it. You should just to the Orlando... its more your speed.

Thank so much brother American , you just walk in my city , I grow up there and never been back , rafter 1994

Hey I just got back and had an amazing time .. I didn’t have no problem with internet had 16 g which lasted four days there where some places that took credit cards but generally I converted $200 for $2400 and literally was trying to give it away as I got closer to leaving .. I stayed in Vedado took a bike tour for 6 hours which was excellent way of knowing all the areas

I will say this is the most calm and less busy I’ve ever seen Cuba I was just recently there and it was super busy

America has internet, skyscrapers and all the bells and whistles. We don’t say hi to our neighbors, spend time with our family and work like a dog. yet we traveling to other countries to tell them how to make it better.

Una placer a verlo tenido aquí en Cuba 🇨🇺 Saludos bro

Great videos Sly. I'm going to be there in Oct

Those beans rice and chicken looked bomb! I always tell people when I travel. I dont travel to go to 5 star restaurants, I can do that where I live in california. When i travel, I want to eat like the locals, and what the locals eat.

Thanks. Great, as always, Sly. Hope you go to Miami at some point. It’s a Latin American city in a lot of ways.

GM great shows/new sub/ Just wanna say I just got back from Cuba. 29th country but easily one of my favorites. Especially because Americans don’t really go there. It was a breath of fresh air, not seeing Starbucks or McDonald’s on every corner! The music is the best, the ladies are very beautiful and you have to love their spirit! They are happier than a lot of people here that’s for sure.

Thanks for putting it real, becuase I seen local RU-vidrs and they tell the story from inside and is totally different… I will be there in a couple o weeks for the first time! I’m glad you mingle with the local and can see their resilience, hope some day it will get better for all the Cuban people, like the good all days 💃🕺💃🕺💃👋👋👋

I have been there 13 times and only stayed in all inclusive resorts once or twice. Planning on going there again this winter to get away from the Canadian cold.

When travelling in North America we rely on the standardization of restaurants and hotels to ensure there are no surprises. Cuba is for the more adventuresome.

were you shooting this iwht a DJI pocket?

Another great video on your part you had an open mind as usual. I was in Cuba for 30 days in 2017. As African-American male it was one of the best experiences of my life. What do you think of a trip to the French Rivera Nice, France 🇫🇷. And take the ferry from Marseilles France to North Africa. That would be a very interesting experience but you would need at least 30 days to do justice to the trip. Again another great trip and video. Keep traveling and stay safe.

As Cubans (and personally) we absolutely hate when foreigners say "going back in time" and romanticize that idea. We very much live in 2022 but without access to modernity but we DESERVE to have every access to comfort and amenities that you do - to have a Malecon like what you mentioned. To travel like you can to make this youtube. To see the world and comment on it. What you didn't mention is the dictatorship. We hope you learned we have no rights in Cuba and many (and i mean MANY) are fighting to have them one day.

Informative video.

Great insight into Cuba Sly. Reminded me of what it must have been like in the old DDR, before 1989. I crossed the Berlin border into East Berlin in 1988, and it reminded me of Cuba 2022. Germany has modernised but Cuba hasnt. Really enjoy your travels. Never go to Mexico either in the wet or hurricane season either. Its cheaper but its hit or miss. Where shall we expect you next on your travels

Hi @ sly's great info however is it true that Traveling Medical Insurance is mandatory to enter the country?

i live in cuba, great video

Good videos on Cuba 👍

Hi, you mentioned that you had internet most of the time? Can you please share how you did it? I don’t want to be without internet! 🤦🏾‍♂️

appreciate the insight

I have to give 👍 to this video where you give a more real vision of the true Cuba, where there is a lot of need and crisis for the people, who do not enjoy all the beautiful places that you visit and enjoy Cuba hurts us Cubans that we have had to emigrate to other countries like the US, Europe even to Africa

does anyone know what camera he uses?

Your videos are so dope Sly! I hear an accent in your videos bro, are you from Cleveland?

Gotta love the Music!

My guy what type is acceptable at la floridita Canadian dollars or euros or Cuban peso’s or even American money

Everything you said about "you can construct some Condos, hotels, apartment buildings" is why everyone is being told to go to CUBA before it changes. Glad I got to see it before it turns into a massive franchise.

Are you suggesting they should demolish the historic buildings along the malecon? Making Havana look like every other city would be sad too.

In colombia they have shot of juices and soda too

What camera do you use to 🎥 film?

If you ever go to the mountains you will be blown away. Earth is pretty man.

There are some good restaurantsin havana my friend.

What ebook are you talking about

It is sad that you did not go to Havana in the 1950s.

What is the name of your eBook on Amazon?

Great video

Sleeping without AC can be tough.

Very good videos thanks! What about the legalities of visiting there? I thought is was still illegal? How did you manage?

Thanks 😊

Thank you for this latest series, Sly. We rarely get an unbiased look at Cuba from an American’s perspective-especially a Black American one. I don’t have no idea where you’re going next, but I can’t wait. Are you staying in Latin America or heading overseas somewhere? Also, how was the Spanish accents in Cuba compared to other countries?

I hope you got to see a Timba band and learned a little about African religion that's popular in Cuba. The African folkloric culture is amazing!

While in Habana, we're you able to go to a nearby beach? I've been told the beach is far from Habana.

It's funny to see comments from non Cubans. I agree summer is the worst not even cause of the heat but the outbreaks of dengue fever. Right now many hospitals are collapsed. It's is sad how someone who says i stayed in the tourist area. Can then say you can do medical tourism here. Lol omg obviously you have never been to a Cuban hospital. I have to two and not the one tourist hospital in Habana that Cubans can't go to. It's straight out of a horror film. Put it this way i had to bribe nurse and more at the hospital and my grandma was on critical condition and she got horrible bed soares in the hospital. And no mentions of the electrical power cuts which have produced prostest on different cities every night.

did you visit varadero at at all?

Ooooh new continent? Exciting! But if it true. Gonna miss seeing Latin America.

I studied medicine there I'm from South Africa

Thank you. Your videos have been very insightful. When entering and exiting Cuba, I heard U.S. tourists are not supposed to get their passports stamped by Cuba customs. Is this true? pink Tourist Visa Card to be stamped only?

Thanks so much for the info I’m going to Cuba in sept but haven’t book my room what do suggest please reponds should I stay in an abnb or hotel or something like you where in

July and August are hot but no big deal.

Thankfully I can use credit cards in Cuba. And I'm going next week lol .

Do u live ithere o are u visiting Cuba? Greetings.

saludos amigo soy Brian de Cuba💯😂👍

I feel like you missed the cultural mark by not using a Casa Particular. It was one of the highlights of my trip to get to know a family. We still message each other occasionally. I bought an hour internet access card from my host just to check email and send a fee texts, but i recommend disconnecting and taking in the city.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi question : did you fly from the US ? Did you get your passport stamped upon arrival ? Did you have health insurance ? Did you have to keep receipts ? Where you asked a bunch of questions when you came back to US? THX !

Despite being sanctioned for decades by the USA, I didn't see a Cubian homeless living along the streets from this video. Is there anyway?

I date a Cuban and the food is excellent. But she loves my American cooking

''Well I guess next we're gonna get shot 🙄'' -Dutch from rdr2

great video!! thank you for giving good info... i live in North Carolina and i thought about going to cuba but man!, it sounds like a headache to go there. i wish the country would focus on tourism (or possibly us can take it as terrority)

End the US blockade of Cuba!!!

Cuba has a run down beauty I cant explain

Looks and sounds like a slightly nicer Belice

SALUDOS

As a person who’s not a Cuban living in the US go to the Bahamas instead

I was in Cuba about 10yrs back. First and last time. Depressingly poor and pathetic place. Not a place to vacation.

Makes me sad to see the people have such a hard life there.

isn't illegal to visit cuba if you are from United States. how did u go?

You seem Vexed by this trip. You were not prepared. The weather and navigating that scene was much too much.

You apparently don't check weather before you travel...smart move..NOT

Do you need a Vaccination Card ?

Cuba doesn’t need to build up a consumer society like the rest of the world, hopefully they develop a more rational and sustainable society than the insane casino we live in.

you must have gone to the wrong restaurants. There also are places where you get get a small cup of expreso for cheap

Sly I would like to go to cuba with you as a free Cuban , you’ll see

The US should go there and take over and turn it into a new Miami!

Live and let live. END THE EMBARGO!!!

Really wish america would lift the embargo and let these people be, it’s so cruel and sad what we’ve done to this island. Making them suffer for what? Because they believe in a different set of politics? So childish.

Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, & glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

This is gotten worst and sad to say Cuba was always poor but industrial and the streets were filled with music and people dancing. I’m cuba born and raised in Florida but I have been back more then 40 times since I left 30 years ago and this is bad. I’m going in 15 days

Very sharp analysis. I’m Black British and have avoided Cuba, because of the lactic freedoms and shabby infrastructure…(been to Jamaica, Caymans,Antigua and Guadeloupe)… As a Black man with money and a British passport you will be subject to scrutiny… mixed race couples will be considered as - men scammer,women prostitute… Until things change… go to a country that will truly welcome you and the locals are properly rewarded not subject to propaganda and apartheid. Oh, didn’t mention electricity shortages, lack of sanitary products and really boring food options!!!

Is it Alot of black people there?

The oppressive regime thanks you for your visit.
