You must've looked like a right twat taking a picture of a knife surrender bin.
It's social mentality is quite modern. Same type of music for young people, discos, same recreational activities. The reason for all the old cars may surprise you: when the US isolated Cuba in the early 60s, the cars they had then are the cars they use today. It is testament to their resourcefulness that they can maintain 1000s of functioning vehicles that are nearly 60 years old, some of which are in immaculate condition, when things like a nut or bolt may be very difficult to procure. The whole mentality is not to waste a single item that could potentially be of use. Everything is second hand, reconditioned, tinkered with. Their necessity to reuse and recycle has strangely made many aspects of their society exceptionally efficient (strange in that communism is inherently inefficient). We might learn some lessons from their battle against wastefulness.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
hey cameron, does cuba still have its social mentality stuck in 1959? thats the general idea here in the US. I noticed a lot of old, old cars which is kinda confirming it for me.

OMG, I was just excited to share some photos of my own, and I'm not trying to hijack the thread and I already stated that, and I didn't feel like starting a whole thread for England. Could please try to be more polite in the future... ?cpt.fass1 wrote:
Albert this is a CUBA thread. We can all get to England, but can't all get to Cuba could you please not try to highjack threads.
Oh and hopefully we'll be able to get to Cuba one day, but from reading what CP wrote it doesn't sound like it.
LOL, there weren't that many of them, probably because its a waste of money....Bertster7 wrote:

Just pointing out, that this wasn't a "post your tourist pictures here" thread and that it was a thread about Cuba with some of the History and culture of it..AlbertWesker[RE] wrote:
