CUBA
FOLLOWS YOU ..
I
arrived at the Miami International Airport and very quickly I was at the curbside
waiting for the UBER driver, William by name, who turned out to be from Havana
and a character.
Before
that, while ordering the Uber, I saw a man motioning for my attention and I couldn’t
attend to that until I finished with Uber app. Then I listened to the man’s
Cuban accent: Please call a local number for me, which I obliged and he got his
ride to go wherever.
Then
he said, I couldn’t buy any dollars in Havana, I went to the bank and I went to
the Cadeca, Cambio and no dollars. Then I said to him, there is plenty of
dollars in Cuba, just that you don’t know where to look .. The streets are full
of dollars. You are living here now in USA and you have forgotten how things
work in Cuba.
He
had no money (USD) but had 100 CUC the worthless paper money which is valuable
only in Cuba. I decided to exchange one hundred dollars and the man was very
happy and I added
I
am doing this for you, because you are a Cuban.
And
Good Luck with your life here ..
In Cuba, Elephants are viewed with great respect for the luck they seem to bring, so to have images of elephant are not common. When I arrived in Miami, Wiliam my Uber driver had this Elephant on his dashboard and I told him that I have one in my flat in La Habana...
