Surviving Cuba's MOST Communist City on under $1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- In this communist urban adventure, I will venture off into the streets of Mantanzas, Cuba. This city is packed with culture and tokens of support for Cuba's faded revolution. The local communist party boss, reminded me, despite how things may feel or look in Cuba, someone is always watching. As usual, I will venture off into the unknown and will explore this tropical-communist stronghold. Let's GO!
Cubans are some of the toughest people around. Food is scarce, housing is a nightmare, constant fight to care for the family, etc...
Long live Cuba 🇨🇺
That anti-diarrhea meds lol the travel lifestyle
Lmao it is the single most important thing to pack..... Well, maybe the 2nd most.... lol
Your content is so original 🙌🏾
Keep the Good Work
Thank you my brother!!! Forwardddd💪🏾✊🏾
Thanks for this uniquely amazing content Keenan. I love Mantanzas, especially the people. I wasn't aware of the meaning of Mantanzas, but respect to the Fishermen. I agree the fruit was top notch, I also enjoyed natural food. Thank you for your dedication, my people caught serious bubble gut in Havana before leaving. I remember more people. I wish I had an🍦as it felt like a thousand degrees. Is there music regulaely on certain nights at Callejon de las 3 Traditionales? Varadero is a cool day trip from Mantanzas.🌊
I’ve dreamt my entire life of visiting Cuba one day. I sure hope the embargo gets lifted and the country thrives again. I feel so bad for the people. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it (as usual)
Thank you as always Ron!!! Better must come for the people in Cuba..
@@KeenanLambert198 The embargo gets lifted when the government falls. The country is economically exhausted. All communist regimes have failed from that.
WHAT 11Cents for a meal, that's crazy ! That dog was about to find out what it's like to be live on UA-cam in the worse way!
Matanzas is a different beast lol!
Thank you for turning the light on Cuba.
Thanks so much for coming through to watch this one..
What is wrong with you Keenan ! Never drink water unless it is boiled. When commercial water is questionable (fake). Go for the aqua con gas. Don't drink fruit juices unless you know it has not been cut with water. Other than that, it is pretty much rum (no ice cubes) or beer.
My first trip to Cuba left me with diarrhea for a whole week. I learned the hard way - unfortunately.
Bro, why would you want to eat a meal that cost $0.11 USD since you are experiencing diarrhea? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
It’s like you’re asking for trouble. 😂😂😂😂

Very good video. Yeah, I'm not thinking Cuba is for me. At least that part of it. Hope you get to feeling better soon. I normally don't have a big problem but I ate at a bar the other night. Oh man, I won't be eating there again. Stay safe! JD
JD!!!!!! What going on brother! I am back to normal now - THANK GOD! How's everything? Are you still in El Salvador?
@Keenan Lambert Glad to hear you're OK! Yes I am in El Salvador and getting ready to move a little closer to the Guatemalan border for a while. Have fun Keenan and stay safe!
Awesome video. I know the stomach issues when traveling in Cuba all too well. 😂
Its the great disaster of traveling to Cuba - Outside of Varadero... Varadero is a little too sanitized for this channel as you already know lol.
At 9:58, a Cuba Libre that you can't taste the rum. Of course, half of the bottle at the bar has been poured out and taken home by the bartender. The missing half has been replenished with water. I am sure many viewers did that as youths with their fathers' liquor cabinet. Given its proximity to the tourist mecca of Varadero, many of the workers live in Matanzas and enjoy a slightly better way of life. Dining...ask around about a paladar. I have ended up in peoples homes having really good edible Cuban food. The experience is worth it. The Cubans are a kind hospitable people. At the end of the meal you feel embarrassed to pay so little.
🤣☺️☺️ my brother was definitely sipp’n on mom and dads rum… But they didn’t even drink and never realized it 🤣! I have a friend that can give me some inside access to life in Matanzas. I might take him up on the offer….
@@KeenanLambert198 The soda is probably more expensive that the rum. There are "light" rums which you might not taste as they are lower in alcohol (generally the first stuff to be pulled off the distillation column). My favourite was Corsario ($4 a bottle). It was tastyy and very dangerous as you would sit there and drink most of the bottle and not think twice until you tried to get up.
Your always very informative great work.
THanks so much brother.... New Cuba series just hit... come back soon!
I learned why it's called "Matanzas" today. ¡Gracias!
Great video bro 🫡🫡
Thanks my G, see you soon!
Thanks for sharing, very informative
Thanks for coming and watching as always Leslie
Hi friend stay safe awesome video
Hi Fi! Thanks so much for watching this one! It was a lot of fun to film!
Great informative video!!
Thanks so much for watching this one Devar!!! I was hoping it didn't come off as too boring....
Just discovered your channel, love it! Thank you, great staff!
Thank you so much Jenny! ✊🏾
Welcome! Do you recall how you found the channel?
Blessings family🙏🏾
Yes, I was looking for some videos about Cap Haitien. Look your style and the information you give!
Thanks so much Jenny!
Your guys need to go to the Congo so beautiful country and they speak French over there so that will go with you
I dont like Cuba but the people are nice.
I'm addicted
i forgot to ask you did you exchange your cuban pesos back to dollars when you got back to the states was it easy or not
In Havana's terminal 3 airport there is a little Kiosk for Cadeca to the far right of American Airlines check-in.... They will definitely give you a horrible rate though.... Cuba's money has no value outside of Cuba... Its impossible to trade at the airports stateside... There might be some "spots" in Miami and Broward County in South Florida, but nothing outside of those. You can't even use pesos to buy a meal in Havana's airport.
@@KeenanLambert198 wtf? seriously wow ok
Replay crew salute 🫡 bro
Thank you so much my brother... We are a loved and valued member of the family..... Big ups!!!
Great stuff as always; Che’ history on point! I’m surprised you ate that ice cream after your gastro issue 🤣
The sprint to the restroom was impressive.... I haven't ran that fast since about junior year of high school. lol!
The dark thing I learned is that many Cubans view Che poorly because of his role in the executions that happened after Batista fled..... Where as Camilo Cienfuegos is remembered fondly.
Meanwhile the youngings just want Amazon
Good stuff boss, Biggup
Big ups GT Warrior! Blessings and stay safe out in the field!
Che was a sadistic murderer. When he was captured he begged for his life like a sissy. What do you mean "unfortunately he was executed"?
Putting him on trial for crimes as he oversaw the purges after Batista abandoned his followers would have been appropriate thing to do.
I see the dollar goes a long way there.. I want to visit Santiago De Cuba. Have you been?
I haven't but I also am dying to go. The bus ride is a little crazy from Havana - I will have to fly in from Miami.
What's the black market rate at present?
@@max0192 180-150 for 1 USD
@@KeenanLambert198 Why so much difference?
@@max0192 Because Cuban money is literrally monopoly money and has no value outside of Cuba...
❤️
Thank you my frienddddd!!!! One love
You were probably educated in NY public schools so not surprising as to the way you described it, but Spanish colonization brought salvation through Christ and civilization to half the globe
Was up family, do you have instagram?
Yeh, link me on @Keeman198
