Hey All,
I'm back on here today with some observations from my time living in Havana, Cuba. While living there, I was fascinated by so many things, particularly in regards to transport and car culture. We can all agree that transportation is a huge component to culture "isms" wherever you are. Think about it. Everyone lives out part of their day in some form of transport whether it be a car, a bus, a taxi, an Uber, bike or otherwise. Furthermore, people can't help themselves but to get caught up in negatives and complaints about driving, traffic, parking, etc. It's an unavoidable part of life. Even those who prefer not to be in it, are affected by it.
Cuba is definitely a special place when it comes to transport culture. Everyone knows that the "old American cars" are a typical Cuban image. But it goes much beyond taking some flashy tourist pictures in these iconic cars during your car tour.
Here I address a few Cubanisms that I observed in Cuba that take you a little further into transport culture there. Listen in while I discuss the car and taxi life. I think I will have to follow this up with other episodes of all the other fascinating modes of transport in Cuba.
I hope you enjoy!
P.S. Sorry about the pre-episode rant of my Montreal experience, I felt it was necessary ;)!
