RE: Travel Thread
I went to Trindad for about 9 days and that trip changed my life. Havana was cool too. I got to train at the Rafael Trejo boxing gym and was repeatedly called a "fat boy" for wanting to drink water. Haha. Cubans don't play when it comes to boxing.

I would definitely check it out before relations between the US and Castro improve. It will turn into an absolute shit-hole once tourism opens up.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a Cuban Peso and a "Tourist Peso". Tourist Pesos are worth significantly more, and sometimes the prices of food are listed in Cuban Pesos, but sometimes they won't say anything if you try to pay with the tourist one. Just ask around. Generally people there are honest and friendly, probably some of the most genuine people I've ever met. But there are probably more hustlers in Havana.

All heart. That's what most little guys are.
But that counts for a lot. In the gym or
the ring all you gotta do is get up
one more time than the other guy thinks you can.
