    Well, this reminded me of a supermercado en la Habana. It sucks it uses that form of payment. Using the CUC was fine in my opinion. But hey, I'm not a financial nor economic student. Hope the country's economic state gets better real soon!

      @urboytgd  3 года назад

      Unfortunately not. They don’t even accept cash. It’s all in USD (or what cuba calls MLC) on either the local cards or visa/MasterCard to my knowledge.

    • @urboytgd
      @urboytgd  3 года назад

      Check with your to see if your credit card will work in Cuba. If it’s Euro based then that could be a good trade off. Note that with international cards there’s the usual processing fee per transaction I assume.

    • @urboytgd
      @urboytgd  3 года назад

      There’s no additional fee when purchasing with local MLC cards

    I'm starting school I'm September. I have sooo many questions, but I'll just ask a few.
    1) What is the dress code like in terms of jewelry, and hair (girls specifically plz)
    2) Are all international students required to board on campus, or can they rent an apartment or smthn
    3) What items were you allowed to take when going? (I heard some electronics were not allowed)
    I really enjoyed this vid and hope that you get a chance to respond

    • @urboytgd
      @urboytgd  4 года назад +1

      Hey! Dress code I’m not aware of anything regarding jewelry and hair. Of course when you’re doing physical exam or washing hands a rule is taking off all jewelry. When you start ELAM yeah you aren’t allowed to rent out but people still do (at their own risk). And there people who have brought electrical kettles and irons with no problem.

    May be more but I'd like to know the translation of dollars to cuba's money. 15$ for a spices is insane. Plus zero fresh fruit, meat, vegetables. Everything is dried or bagged. Not even frozen stuff.
    Plus on some shots I saw clearly empty shelves. So no matter where you go not the expense it ain't great

      Not the repressive communist government though…. Where’s the trade embargo with Venezuela? things seemed to deteriorate over there according to the socialist plan quite naturally. You see, communist governments want the people to be poor and needy. That way they hold more power over them.

    Dear God🙏 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
    I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
    You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
    Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

      @theodore8178 2 года назад

      Check out the Orthodox Church. I'm guessing you are evangelical? It might freak you out at first. Our worship of God is very different what you are used to and we treat God's Saints as members of Christ's body and bodily temples of God's Holy Spirit. That means they deserve great respect and agape love. Adoration the highiest form of love and honor is due to Father Son and Holy Spirit of course. Do adore another is damnable. But God's holy ones you are to honor and agape love.
