Cuba is an amazing country and it never ceases to amaze me either.

[itsElian]

This video is actually very true to Cuba, I'm Cuban.

[ZIrani]

Well done I hope you do more!! Tu esposa is awesome!! Just like mine!

[Journalz]

"And yet again, the yank tanks of yesteryear projecting yet another dimension of twilight zone time travel that echoes Cubas even more antique mystique." That sir is a fine sentence.

[tonygn]

I new it was Cuba because of the uniform on the thumbnail, I use to wear one of this when i was in 4th to 6th grade. I use to hate tying up that red scarf.

[suthersmjj]

Notwithstanding, notwithstanding that, notwithstanding, notwithstanding that.

[tonygn]

not all cars are 1950s American cars, we also have Russian Lada, French Peugeot, and Italian fiats, as well as Mercedes, Audi, and BMW for tourist rental and elites of the Government.

[MrEdium]

I'M SORRY. MY UNCLE WAS BORN IN ORIENTE AND RAISED IN MATANZAS. THANK YOU.

[tonygn]

i feel your pain, everyone says that Cuba has been reformed and improved. That's pure bullshit. Every day things get worse, our agriculture has fell down and Castro doesn't care about the people's main source of food.

[tonygn]

The Soviet Union was basically an allied and sponsor, Castro turn to them but he told them that he didn't want the island to be ruled by them.

[GamerA]

FREE MY COUNTRY LET MY PEOPLE BE FREE DNT HOLD THEM AGAINST THEIR WILL SUFFERING 4 SIMPLE THINGS THAT WE TROW AWAY IN LIFE. WHY MUST WE SUFFER FOR A ANOTHER MAN'S GREED AND CONQUER

[royfr]

working class Brit goes to America becomes middle class rich man then goes to Cuba, gets a girl...then gives talks and romanticizes Cuba....While feeding his ego and wallet

[marcovillar]

It's a poor vision from Cuba, I wonder why National Geographic supports this. Cuba it's much more than this.
