Avoiding Troubles...

These are some important regards teached by Daniel to my safety in Havana City:

     That's very common some guys stay near the hotels doors boarding tourists and offering cigars, craftmanships, excursions, and even shamelessly asking money or offering sexual works. That's good avoid these types, refuse their propositions and don't talk to them. If they bore you, call a policeman.

     Always walk with your passport with the visa. That'll protect you against troubles with the police. And the few shops that accepts credit cards just do it if you show the passport.

      Don't walk with money and documents in the back pockets of pants and take care with what's in the front pants pocked.

      If you walk with a knapsack, always put it on front of thorax, never on the chowders or on your backs, because so it's easy to cut it or open it to rob things inside it.

     In Cuba normally they don't queue up to take a bus or something; if you want to take, for example, the bus number 107, you ask  "¿Último 107?" (who's the last of 107?), so you become the last one. Identify yourself as the last if someone else arrive asking. And don't forget to wait your turn to enter the bus!

     The most cheap way to take a taxi in Cuba is through a particular one. (normally a very and BIG car of 50'... ) that will ask you around US$ 1,00 to make any rout once it's already going to the place you want. If you are lucky to have a cuban friend like I am, leave him call the taxi and ask where it's going to assure a good price. If a tourist make the same the taxman could ask more just because he's a tourist...
