Cuba doesn't have a lot of cars.
But the few cars they do have, pollute a lot.
There's not like an air pollution treaty or something.
Or a guideline for how much a car should pollute.
I guess in part is because they can't, they really can't replace the parts of cars.
And they can't make sure the cars are in tip top shape so they don't pollute too much.
But anytime specially you see one of these old Chevrolet, old cars pass you by.
Even if you don't see the cloud of smoke, you smell it instantly.
You know there are some more modern cars like some Hyundai Accents,
or Elantras.
I seen a 2008 Sonata.
But they also got some called a Geely.
Which is pretty much like a Chinese brand car.
And I've never seen it before in my life.
I'd like to think that I know a lot about in general about the different cars that exist.
Or at least the good ones.
And I had never even heard of that brand.
But a lot of the more modern cars they do have, those are the ones.
We got a place for shopping over here.
And, we are almost at the New Hospital.
That's what it's called.
The New Hospital and the Old Hospital.
So, it's over there.
And we got a dirty river.
I swam in that thing when I was little.
Let's go this way.
We got more and more and more, more cars.
We got an Audi, that's rare.
Like this car right here, this is the most amazing thing.
I want to talk about these cars for a second.
This car, 80, 90 grand here, even if they cost like ten thousand dollars in the US or
something.
They will cost you 90 grand.
The Hyundai Accents they probably cost somewhere around 50 thousand.
And we also got like, what do you call it; olds mobiles.
Even like the old cars, like old, people pay like up to 20 thousand dollars for them.
I'd rather ride in one of these; one of these.
I love these ones.
I love riding horses.
Yeah the car situation in Cuba is crazy.
Cars are like up to 8, 9 times the value of what they're truly worth outside of this country.
I'm not sure if that's like an inflated price, or
if that is because of import taxes and the fact they are very scarce.
You know they don't have a lot of them.
It's probably a combination of the two.
I don't really know; all I is they are extremely expensive.
And also the rent of a car,
renting a car here can easily be up to 200 dollars depending on the kind of car you want
to get.
But on average you're going to pay at least 70 dollars a day
to rent even a basic economy car.
It'll be a more modern car but it'll still be an economy car.
It won't be anything fancy.
Where over there for 70 dollars a day you can probably get like
a luxury car.
So, yeah.
Let's go home.
Okay now, before we get home, speaking about the car situation.
I want to cover the fact that since cars are so expensive.
You have to have a way to transport yourself around, get around.
So people pay for taxis.
But the taxis cost like 4 dollars for just a couple miles.
Kind of like Uber, except...
You know you rent the cars for 4 dollars for just a couple miles and that gets you around.
Though I honestly don't see how they can make a profit,
because gasoline is nearly twice as expensive as it is over there in the US.
Which is crazy.
They don't really make much a profit, and honestly.
Like if they go for example, if they take someone 2 miles away.
And then they've got to go back to the same place they came from,
to pick up a new person.
Then they're already losing money cause gas is so expensive.
And plus the parts over here for the cars; like look.
You always see people like fixing cars or something.
The parts over here for cars they're almost twice as expensive as they are over there.
Because...
That's the pollution I was talking about.
Okay because.
What do you call it?
They don't have any parts, they can't really replace the parts for the cars so everything
is expensive.
So the gas is expensive,
parts are expensive,
cars are expensive,
and getting around costs as much as Uber does.
Gladly the cities aren't as big, as a city over there.
So you can kind of get around walking, but the Cuba Sun is like so hot.
Is like scorching heat all the time.
I honestly can't stand being in the Sun for more than a half hour.
So what I do is you know film, I do my thing, I swim a little bit and I go back in the shade
again.
Otherwise I will go home with a sunburn.
But anyways, we are almost home; we are almost home.
Almost, almost, almost, almost.
But yeah, car situation in Cuba no good.
You're better off renting a car.
You're going to save yourself on gas, a lot.
You're going to save yourself on buying the car cause it's expensive;
because of imports and the lack of cars that there are.
And you're going to save yourself a lot money on the maintenance.
So might as well just rent it even if it's expensive.
Because; is just not worth it.
I really do like the constructions.
And that's my house right there.
This one.
So;
time to go home.
