I was recently in Cuba. People are so friendly. Also people live their life. A lot of children’s happy also. God bless people in Cuba! Soon they are going to have freedom!
The funny thing is, people in the West only have the illusion of freedom. Then they want to export this illusion to other countries...
Why do you say "soon they are going to have freedom"? Is there a transformational change happening in Cuba? I would love to see the people of Cuba enjoying freedom to live life as they see fit without having excessive governmental intrusion. I hope and wish they can develop their economy freely in order to raise their standard of living, i.e. to be able to enjoy the fruits of labour and modern age. Maybe someday...
freedom from the embargo? i hope so
@@luke.4317 The only embargo is from The Cuban Government to the Cuban People!!
@@fantomas8335 tell me ur american without telling me
It is a good and exciting documentary. I am Cuban and left my country a long time ago. The data in this video changed a lot. Cuban people are suffering; they need to wait a very long food line, and the hospitals don't have medical supplies. Also, education is declining because many teachers are leaving the country. It is unfortunate, but once a country has the same political system, Socialism, the society falls. Human Rights in Cuba is zero. The most beautiful thing Cuba has is its people ❤
Very good comments. Love the people, and wish they will have a more prosperous future!
It truly is a great documentary! This gentleman have a great disposition, friendly and friendly. Thank you for sharing the Cuban life of today, with us.
Our pleasure!
THE BEST CUBAN DOCUMENTARY I'VE EVER COME ACROSS, THANKS A LOT!
Wow, thank you!
You are not a Cuban, entertaining, yet many inaccuracies...
Cuba, I've been there two times. 2018 and 2019. Can't wait to go there again! I went to Viñales, try rum, gigar and coffee. I went to Varadero. I walked hours through La Habana. Loved the people.
Hernan, can't agree more, we loved the place.
The coffee is the best in the world. You can get some in Miami close .
@@chainesaw Serrano is my favorite.
The coffee is the best in the World
@@chainesaw Oh yeah!
Very cool video. Oct. 2018 was my good trip to Cuba... Loved it. Need to get back. Didn't get to cigar county.
That would be the province of Pinar del Rio. To the west of Havana.
Andrew, thank for the documentary. It makes me feel like going to Cuba to visit in the morning. One day I will! Thank you so much!
Thanks and yes you should visit!
I have to say, this of all the programs I've watched about Cuba is by far, the most informative and interesting. Thank you so much. Really enjoyable. Greetings from Queensland.
Many thanks for your comment. Appreciate the feedback
A FANTASTIC VIDEO TO WATCH ON A GLOOMY RAINY DAY IN THE UK !. I loved my time in Cuba. The people are lovely and the music joyous.
Thanks for watching!
This one of the best documentary videos I have watched about Cuba recently.'I grew up in the islands of Barbados and Trinidad, West Indies; with the opportunity and funds to visit Cuba and spend sometime in the future, I would never reconsider a return to those islands in the archipelago; poor Cuba in consumerist values but rich in what matters to me; a populace able to feed itself and still with a welcoming and unbowed community spirit.
Thanks for this video. It can be improved with sub-titles when a person speaks Spanish.
I was in Cuba in 2017 & travelled all over the island. People are friendly, everywhere we went.
Cuba has a great education & medical system for the people.
The US embargo is a crime against humanity. Because of the embargo, Cuba was not able to access medicines etc required to treat the sick people & many died.
The world must unite & push the US to lift the embargo.
I hope China can help Cuba improve its economy & living standards of the people.
Viva Cuba!! God bless Cuba & the Cuban people. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
SO SO REFRESHING TO HAVE A NON JUDGEMENTAL AUSTRALIAN VOICE, YOU SHOWED SO MUCH LOVE TO CUBA AND CUBANS, IN NOT LOOKING DOWN AT THE LOCALS,, FAIR DINKUM , NO WONDER AUSTRALIA IS THE LUCKY COUNTRY, HELLO FROM BRIGHTON LE SANDS SYDNEY..
Thankyou very much for your kind comments
Wow
That was awesome
I will be in Cuba in 14 days
Chess is popular in Cuba because of world champion Jose Raul capablanca
......super produced work...loved it...better than doccumentary...tks....
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You are so welcome
The coffee being prepared was some of the best coffee had!!! 😂
Cuba iS Great . CUBAN DOCTORS ARE THE BEST IN WHOLE WORLD, GREAT AND NICE.
Boy and raised in key West Florida that was a beautiful videos of seen many Cubans come to our shores looking for but that was very nice of you to share thank you
Almost got stuck in Cuba.......went to Varadero and the rest is a movie plot.
This was a great commentary on Cuba. Well done mate!
Thanks much appreciated
You are right ,it's time for the American politicians to end the embargo so that the Cuban people realize that it's not the embargo keeping cuba down and that it's the cuminist regime keeping cuba down.although I am afraid that most Cuban already know that.
Well said, thank you for your comments
@Carlos, Castro was a CIA agent, decieved his people, locked many up that didn't want to go along with his Dictatorship
An absolutely brilliant video that answered a lot of questions I've had about Cuba. And you answered those questions in the best possible
way by taking me with you as you asked the same questions, and presented the answers on camera. The answers came from real life
Cubans in an unedited way. Not some clinical way prepared by a governmental department putting their spin on unreality. I've subscribed
to your channel and look forward to journeying with you on future outings.
Thanks for the great comments. Philippines and Borneo vids are being edited as the next
Wonderful documentary, great change from the many downside videos. Cuban people are the best, Cuban music is the best. Cheers from Australia Down Under.
Much appreciated!
Awesome! Well done video my friend. I can’t wait to visit Cuba 👍🏽
You should!
wonderful video and what an experience!
thank you!
freedom❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🌏🌍🌎
Our pleasure!
The best doco on Cuba I’ve seen..
Very glad you liked, thanks
One brilliant video, privilege to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Going in 3 weeks...looking forward to it very much. Thanks for sharing
Been there twice, once 15 odd years ago and again pre-Covid. Fantastic country with good people and memorable sights. Hopefully be returning in a year or two.
It is time for the American politicians to end this stupid embargo of Cuba and open up unrestricted travel for Americans. Cuba is such a beautiful country and the people are fantastic.
Yes.. lve just had alot to do with Cubans.. wonderful people.. USA ..get TF over it.
This is why we have the Ukraine war right now because America wants to put nuclear weapons right next to their border
Obama ended the embargo, and then Trump, in his complete lack of wisdom, put it right back in place.
Fuck off u are protecting thieves
It’s very complicated though. Yes Cuba is beautiful, the people are amazing and much more. But, it’s not just the American government that is against the opening of travel. Remember President Obama attempted to ease restrictions, it wasn’t america that had a problem, Cubans in America were the most upset because it showed favor towards the Cuban government. Again it’s not as simple as it seems.
I’m very excited to explore Cuba again next year
Interesting clip, I’d like to see Cuba myself. very informative clip, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
A very good insight into Cuba today. Are the Cubans who left for the USA happier? I don't think so.
William, the cameraman was Cuban, and has recently got into the USA ... I did have this conversation with him ... he will have to work harder and costs are a lot more.....
Spectacular music.
Great Video and those cigar, coffee, and rum fellas were too comical yet very Humble!!
Yes the fellas were very good, thanks for your comment
You made me want to visit Cuba! Especially the cigar dipped in honey shop. Are you ever going back?
Sure, would love to go back, next time just as tourist pretending to be a sugar baron
THE NICEST SHOW IVE EVER WHATCHED ! ! !
Thanks Jeff, appreciated
Pristine...old world charm.
Untouched by decadent modern consumerism.
Amazing country...amazing people.
It is indeed
My late father lived only a few blocks from the fort on Havana,Cuba.
Hey Aussie , you did will with the dance moves.
Haha, I won't get any awards for dancing!
You forget to add cars , cigars comunismo and embarg
The last new American car was sold in Cuba in 1962.
A good sightseeing tourist video. Your Saratoga hotel frame, before or after the explosion that took out the 3 front floors. Chess is popular because of Capablanca the world chess champ in the "20s, NOT of Fidel. Cigars dipped in honey a fad at that farm. Marti park in Cienfuegos was finished in 1850. He was born in 1853. The oil rigs near Varadero are not a surprise. They have been there for years pumping a very low grade oil. A few of the pre-embargo cars have mostly original parts but very few. Mostly the body shells hide Toyota diesel engines and God know what. I have seen one with a boat (marine) engine under the hood. Much of the chrome pieces are hand hammered including some bumpers. And finally, australis is Latin for southern. Maybe the town is south of Habana?
Thanks for informative response Joseph
In the late 90 I had a mechanic from Cuba. He came with the Mariel refugees. He once told me they would drill and tap the heads for russian spark plugs. When he was allowed to he would send his friends car parts. He was arrested for having too much gasoline, which was his most common pay for his work. He was one hell of a mechanic.
Free and happy people of Cuba
😍Great review.
viva la revolucion
The Cubans would welcome some economic change ....
@@chasingzephyr9333 They would welcome the embargo being lifted
VERY VERY INTERESTING TO KNOW MY CARIBBEAN COUNTRY, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS 👌👍
Glad you enjoyed it
fantastic I enjoyed so much , thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool video up to the point where you mentioned that Christopher decovered Cuba. Was Cuba lost or Christopher ?
Good question!
Why do people get so pi55y when anybody ever mentions a European discovering someplace that Europeans didn't previously know about? I mean _obviously_ the natives knew that _the place they lived_ existed, I mean, that's like, _"Daww..!"_ (and, no, in the context of a discussion of historical exploration it's not incorrect or insulting to refer to the locals as 'natives').
Or perhaps we should credit whoever was the first ever person to come across from Florida or wherever in prehistoric times, be it deliberately, "to seek out new lands", or simply because they too were "lost", perhaps because of a storm or something, and discovered Cuba for the Amerindians (or should that be "Amerindians", in inverted commas? I'm not an anthropologist, politically correct or otherwise). Well - if you or anyone else knows their name, I'll be happy to do so! Anyway, as I say, I'm no anthropologist, but I believe the original populations in the islands of the Caribbean were for the most part wiped out (by European diseases, and European brutality, absolutely!) - my point being, is it not a bit moot to talk about the first person in a new land, of a people that no longer exist, as a 'discoverer'? That said, I'm not at all familiar with how that process played out in Cuba, what the genetic legacy of those unfortunate people is, or whether any of their descendants are still around...
"Long story, short", I guess what I'm saying is that Christopher Columbus may well have been a creep of the highest (or lowest!) order, though I should say that there are plenty of people who say that by the standards of the time he wasn't "that bad of a guy" - that he was actually something of a defender of the natives, and that all those nasty stories we've heard, that those were his lieutenants and his men, or subsequent voyagers or whatever. I guess it depends on which videos, websites, etc, you've seen! Tbh, I have neither the knowledge or the energy to get into it (so - fair warning - I'm not going to!) Irrespective though of whatever kind of l8as†erd he may have been, and irrespective of the fact that he was lost (it wasn't his fault that the _actual_ size of the Earth, calculated centuries previously by the Greeks, had been lost; his theory was sound, or would have been but for the embarrassing fact that there was a whole continent - pair of continents(!) - in his way) -- even if he wasn't, as he thought, in the East Indies, it _does not_ negate the fact that he discovered the _West_ Indies.
Sometimes 'Great' men inconveniently turn out to be 'bad' men, (or worse, vvhy†e men!) but it is a dangerous day for knowledge when we would negate their achievements and discoveries. Newton, for example, was a horrible person - as head of the Royal Mint he had forgers castrated; but do we deny his discoveries in the the field of physics and mathematics?! (Of course we mustn't forget, they too are on the list for 'decolonisation'!) Of course there are exceptions for everything, and it would stick in my throat 'crediting', if that's the right word, π@z| doctors for the discoveries they made as a result of their experiments on, and vivisection of, concentration camp prisoners; but again, there are those who would throw out the knowledge gleaned thereby, as if it could bring back those people, or negate the insults inflicted on their living bodies! Surely the waste of such hard won information ('hard won' by the suffering of the victims, as opposed to the sadistic curiosity of their captors) would be the ultimate insult to the subjects of those monstrous actions.
Anyway, sorry, I've gone off on a bit of a tangent, not to mention that I've probably gone on rather enough anyway... Oh well - as they say, never mind the quality, just feel the width!
@@richiehoyt8487I live in New Jersey there are towns here with Lenape names. You will not find a single Lenape native in NJ they were exterminated and ethnically cleansed . And Euros moved on to their properties and used slaves to built up infrastructure such as Philadelphia ports and waterfront where thousands of slaves died building under horrendous conditions, there is a museum there dedicated to the slaves, it’s shameful what happened there
DUDE HOW DID YOU MISS CUBAN BASEBALL----------------PRICELESS
Oops, did it in Dominican Republic episode though
Wish they would have shown the properties owned by Dezi Arnez, AKA, Rickey Ricardo.
Lucky to be born in india
Cuba country very good culture.
😎
yes anguilla harbor looks fantastic
It does indeed
It's sad that we in America can travel to Russia, China, north Korea, and they in some cases can come to the US but we can't travel directly to Cuba. Where is the freedom path.?
For the rest of us, it's more difficult to visit the US if you've been to Cuba, as well.
Governments are ridiculous
Great doxumentry
Beautiful country CUBA
Yes indeed!
Completed projects from all over the country 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
Glad to hear!
Hey how did you manage to use a drone in Cuba?
Fair question .... ignorance maybe 🤔
Nice thumbnail. Whats the text effect called?
Agreed, but will need to check with the editor!
❤❤❤love your vidoes
Thanks so much
Cuba is beautiful. I love Cuba. I love cigar, rum, classic car, cha cha cha, salsa and sweet people there.
The best!
Every body must visit
My father went to Cuba with a doctor friend, in order to have medical supplies for the people. They hired a native to drive them about, everywhere on the island. Once, they stopped in Havana to purchase something to eat. my father ordered a turkey sandwich and a few croquettes of meat. My father offered the driver some of the bought food. but the driver, told them, "no, gracias." and, so my father asked why he was refusing the offer. to which, the driver answered, "you are eating "buitre" - which is vulture. My father and the doc accompanying him, eat this. since refusing it, was consciously the wrong thing to do, while the people of the island lacked access to food, period. I was proud of the doc and father for having done this. they've never spoken of how the experience tasted. all I know is that once bought, this food was not going to be thrown away. no, not as long as people found little food to get of their own. I myself, think vulture meat would taste like gamey chicken. which I, here in this land of plenty would find repulsive. vive la diference?
Lovely people,very friendly,I love Cuba
Yes they are lovely, thanks for comment
I loved watching this!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Great Carol, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Except for an occasional restaurant and the street vendors working in the middle of the day I do not see people working . Just a bunch of people walking around . Their native music is fantastic .
Yeh, not so much hard work happening....
I'm 55 and love this video and old things as I am becoming one. They also have Old Steam Trains. Maybe other wonderful things.
Me too, old thing that is!
FYI...your "spanish" pronunciation is/was dismal... (start with "VaradEro"
Thanks for your feedback! We'll definitely endeavour to have narrator who speaks more accurate spanish for future docos.
Save me an space .I love to live in Cuba
31:04 Cigar Roller is soooooo cute.
And makes good cigars!
It is mango season now here in India
Красота!!!
E. Japón en el futuro consiguen chocolate con sabor a puro o cigarrillo para los barrios donde se necesita ese sabor el la boca para viajar a épocas fumadoras
Por eso lo bombones de chocolate se sirben en cajas parecidas al de los puros cubanos ..y el primer tabaco se mascaba
Love this place so peaceful
I guess you are talking about Vinales, yes agreed!
The title did not mention BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
Did the tourist CUC recently cease to exist?
Hey MJ, looks like its no longer in use! Will be interesting to see how that affects things in Cuba.
I wish I could live in free Cuba
the sugar cane juice actually helps with the sometimes overwhelming results of a good cigar
Haha, and maybe the rum ...
👍👍👍
All people in the world , condemn America for an economic blockade against CUBA for more than 60 years.
Love Cuba, hubby originally from there, we go every year n plan to retire there hopefully this year!
Why did he leave cuba?
@@jasonlo8780 $$$ like many from all over the world leave there country for, n if their fortunate enough like my husband has been from working hard, you buy yourself a little house, in our casa a little beach house n vacation there every year with family n friends, n hopefully retire in your(Isla) country. I think most people's dream is to go back home for good, one-day! USA is great to make $, that's why so many risk their lives to come, but it'll never be home sweet home...
@@flower4598 makes a lot of sense, I agree with you it's definitely a dream., with that being said the house you guys bought is not really yours, they can take it away from you whenever they want and there's nothing you can do about it. Just be careful, I think any country where people are starving, tourist live better and you don't really own anything is very dangerous. It says a lot when people risk their lives in homemade rafts to flee says a lot ab Cuba, I'm Cuban myself and never want to go back. We had to flee as well for a better living, and that says a lot. You are in the best country with endless opportunities right now. I hope all goes well for you guys!
Well Thats One Off My Next Ports Off Call To Do A Full ISLAND Trip ,Its ON MY BUCKET LIST, Thanks AMIGO? Part OFF My Fathers History?
As long as communism is there, Cuba is stuck in its own mud. May a mighty miracle from God topple communism and bring Cuba to full life.
Yes its stuck in the past ...
That Cigar and Sugar Cane Juice got him!!! Lol..lol
He looked Happy as "F"...lol .lol
You need a translator mate. Nice adventure
Protect every inch of Your sand-ocean and Palm trees
Thank you for your efforts .
Though, why didn't you include in your video meeting some of the so-called wealthy !
Good idea, we probably should have included the wealthy
Not Communism that's kept it poor, but 'US trade embargos'.
Would be nice if US and Cuba got along ....
@@chasingzephyr9333 - The US sees every country that doesn't agree with it, as a threat...to be punished. If it took its jackboot off their neck, they could breathe again.
Beautiful country beautiful people
Yes indeed
(45:55) We have that expression too in Mexico, although it really means that a woman is very sexy; it's a bit of a difference. It's like comparing Audrey Hepburn to Bridget Bardot. Both are beautiful but Bardot has that extra factor.
Great comment, thanks
Did you find out in the video why the town’s called Australia?
Australia means south in Spanish
Don't see too many people walking about with mobile phones. Maybe that's why they have so much fun.
Yes, can be rather pleasant NOT to have mobile phones
C U.B.A. : BEAUTIFUL..!!!
Yes it is, thank you for watching
I wonder why the Tobacco farmer , the rum maker and the coffee farmer all spoke English so well ?
They are allowed to sell minor amount of product direct to market ... and English helps this ... cheers
Nice video understanding that you had boundaries and limitations as anybody that visits a country that has not held democratic elections in over 60 years. A single party government in power by gun fire since 1959 and later first thing they did was take all the guns away from the people. There was no support by the US to the Bay of Pigs invasion, the liberators were slaughtered on that dam beach because of a failed US administration which later used Cuba as a bargaining chip with the USSR.
Luis thanks for your knowledge
How can I buy a real Cuban cigars let me know thank you
جميل
Wheres Ep1?
That is our Sri Lanka episode
Wow! So there really is internet there...... I didn't think there was. And oh, them cars, those beautiful old cars people would pay a million for, if they could lay their hands on them.
Internet just in parks. Cars are often owned by Miami cubans, and they cant be exported
Why no subtitles?
Hi Jay, have fixed this hopefully, subtitles back on
It would be nice to translate the Spanish.
Enjoyed it tho. I wish they would end the embargo.
We are wallowing in stuff and they are so lacking.
Couldn't they just raise chickens. I don't understand why they don't.
Because the real embargo is the one imposed by Communist government, that's why.
Noted, we have subtitles back on ...
Agree about translation subtitles being needed!
also 2G phone.
