Interesting Sights in Havana


Shortly before I returned to the US for a vacation I saw a Cuban driving a British vehicle--that is the steering wheel was on the right side--in Havana. This must have been a challenge for him! Everyone else is driving as they always have and he has to take extra precautions while he drives. Clearly, someone from England donated the van and this is one more testament to how Cubans make do with what they have. Very rarely will we see something similar in the US.

Back in May as I was walking down the street I saw someone wearing a " Save Ferris"  t-shirt. Anyone who has seen the classic 80's movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"  will know that characters in the movie wore similar shirts to save the "ailing"  main character. I wondered to myself, "How on earth did that shirt get here?"

By contrast, when I was at the airport waiting to pick-up a colleague, I saw a teenager with a shirt that read " Fuck Facebook; I have real friends!"

Very interesting indeed!
