Miami 2, what happened on Little Havana
The reason I went to Miami is purely because I wanted to go to Little Havana. Many Cubans left for the United States, and they settled in Miami. How Cubans who left Cuba live, how Cuba feels there, and how they still enjoy dancing and music as they do in Cuba. Delta Air Lines took me from Havana to Miami. Havana to Miami is an hour's flight away.
Miami from the sky was really pretty. In fact, it was a much more beautiful landscape than on the ground. As if the plane was going to get off at Mai Mai Airport, I was enjoying the beautiful scenery while staying in the sky for a long time. When I wanted to return, I took off to the airport. Unfortunately.
As a Uber driver at the reservation, I kindly sent him off to the airport. This is Aunt Rosario. Peruvian. On the day of arrival, the weather was very good, and streets were lined with protesters shouting Nicaragua's Haya. Nicaragua is now blocking citizens who protest the politics of the president. I wish their cry for the dictator Haya was brought to Nicaragua, but my aunt calls her husband.
"The streets are now full of people from Nicaragua. The car is jammed." Her husband is from Nicaragua.

The accommodation is two blocks from Cuba Street (Caye Ocho, Calle 8). It is a convenient place to walk. Thanks to this, I used to salsa and walk home until 1 am while I was staying. I'm not sure if you were lucky, but there aren't many people on the street. I think it wasn't very dangerous because it was close to the downtown area.
Now, let's take a look at Little Cuba.

The symbol of Miami Little Cuba is the rooster. You can see a big cock model on the street. I brought everything that Cubans can bring when they leave Cuba. Among them, I had to eat and live, so I brought a lot of chickens. After releasing and raising the chicken, there were many chickens on the street, which eventually became a symbol of the street. Even now, a house on the streets of Cuba keeps chickens.

Throughout my stay on Cuban streets, I was confused whether I was in Havana or Miami. Everyone speaks Spanish and salsa music comes out on the street. Of course, there are Puerto Rican restaurants on Cuban streets, Mexicans and McDonalds. Nevertheless, I have almost no feeling of soup. Ten years later, I wondered if Havana would look like this. Even better, the food is better! In fact, Cuba is not very tasty because of the limitations of its ingredients. On average.
At a Puerto Rican restaurant, it's delicious!
Similar to Lopa Vieja, but more delicious
Fish burger, too much oil -_-
In fact, the highlights of Miami were separate. That's where I met Tito Puente Jr. It was such a lucky day. Watching his concert at the bar without thinking and dancing salsa live! Besides, I will retweet my Instagram!
Titto Puente Junior is the son of Puerto Rico's renowned Jabbales player and composer Titto Puente (1923-2000). He is also a champ ballet player following his father. People who salsa will know him. On the night of salsa in his live, he left an unforgettable memory. It's a famous pub called Ball & Chain in Miami. There are also salsa lessons in the evening, salsa dances, and sometimes jazz live performances. If you're on the streets of Miami Cuba, be sure to stop by in the evening.

And there is another recommendation. That's Little Havana Rituals, a tour of Cuba from Yoel's Little Havana. $33 per person booked on Airbnb. It wasn't a small amount of money compared to a few hours of tour, but it was worth it. Joel is a Cuban who came to Miami a few years ago. He told me how to make Cuban coffee, which he didn't know about in Cuba, how to enjoy rum in a variety of ways, how to smoke cigars, and political views on Cuba's many different perspectives. It was a really meaningful time for me.

The cigar is like this.
If you add cigar smoke and drink it with rum, kya~
We sincerely continue our history, life, and various stories. I went to Cuba seven years ago and learned things that I didn't know in Miami here. To Joel. If you go to the streets of Miami Cuba, be sure to take a tour of this friend. It is conducted in English and Spanish, but the language seems to vary depending on the members of the group. I toured with 4 people. Usually the tour is a little over 2 hours.
