INTERNET SUCKS IN CUBA!!!!!
I came to this hotel were we pay 6$ an hour for Internet. It wouldn't be so bad if the Internet wasn't a dialup connection. Out of my hour, it takes me a full minute just to login to my hotmail account. And what's worse is that 2 days ago I came, spent my full hour on the computer and wrote this huge entry for this blog. Well... Just as I clicked publish post, everything went to hell. A little bit like what is happenning now. I'm getting a @#$*@# message saying I cannot connect to blogger. Screw this! I'll write about this place when I get back home.
To think that last year I was in a village of Nicaragua and wireless Internet was almost everywhere! Raul and Fidel need to get with the program man. I am excessively annoyed!
Right at this very second, I'm not sure how I feel about this place.

La Habana
Here I am in the cuban capital. My travel buddy and I arrived here in the wee hours of the morning this morning. It was crazy hot but the kind of hot where you don't keep it inside, you just sweat it out. Beautiful!!!
It's weird and I can't put my finger on the reason why yet, but I don't feel like I'm in America Latina. First there's the architecture that seems to date from way before the Batista era, but there's something else and I have yet to figure it out.
Today was quite the day. Our goal was to find a suitable language school for another project. We left our host, Pablo, around 9 this morning and started walking. After a while and a few stops in different places to ask questions, we encountered a pretty nice school. But we decided we needed to go seek the foreign language department of the university on the other side of town. So we hopped on a wawa (bus). Wow! Lots of people and kaos on those buses! I think that's where I sweated the most. I'm not sure how many wawa we took because we kept on changing out itinerary. But it was quite a fun adventure.
Now that we have figured out the school stuff and the lodging issue, tomorrow will be a fun day of doing activities that future groups could do.
I am definetely not to pity!!!!
