Chapter 1061 Sports in Cuba
The same pizza with cheese and bacon is sold to tourists for three red pesos and locals for twenty blue pesos, and the same breakfast set, which costs a pot of coffee, a pot of juice, a plate of fruit, two eggs, a cheese ham sandwich and a few small loaves of bread, is almost the same all over the country, sold to tourists for 5 red pesos and sold to locals for 5 blue pesos, and a cup of coffee costs tourists one red peso, locals cost 1 blue peso, and ten blue pesos can buy two large loaves of bread! All in all, if you don't have local friends, you can spend a lot here------- it's also relative, and it's so much cheaper than traveling anywhere else!
Accompanied by Oscar, I had a preliminary impression of Cuba this afternoon. This is a true tourist paradise. The environment is beautiful, the people are warm, the law and order are good, and there is no discrimination. In addition to the air ticket------, the air ticket from Huaxia to Cuba is not usually expensive, and the better way is to transfer from Mexico to Cuba. Half the cost of the airfare!
A tourist attraction should have it all here: art, scenery, and people. Even in the old town of Havana, Xiao Peng found 'Chinatown'. Oh, it's called 'Chinatown'.
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng rushed in with great interest, but they really came back in disappointment------ this Nima is called selling dog meat with a sheep's head, it is obviously 'China City', but there are no Chinese people in it.
This is also understandable, after the Cuban Revolution, a large number of Chinese people left Cuba, and less than 200 people stayed here, and now there are no more than 1,000 people in the whole country. It belongs to the rare level.
However, like other Chinatowns, there are countless Chinese restaurants and even martial arts halls, but the waiters and chefs in the restaurants are all Cubans, and the martial arts taught in the martial arts halls are also Cubanγγγγγγ
But there is really Chinese everywhere here, and Xiao Peng looked at the Chinese on the wall of a building: 'The main branch of the Chinese Hongmen People's Party in Cuba'!
Damn, I'll ask you if you're awesome!
Oscar took Xiao Peng and the two around in a circle before taking the two home.
Xiao Peng then knew why Oscar was taking the two of them shopping, this was the time to prepare dinner for his wife------ as for the lobster and crab they bought, in Oscar's words, it was a snack after dinner, a snack to eat and play after bakingγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng was really impressed by Oscar's home! He actually lived in a single courtyard near the sea in Old Havana!
It is no longer common for these Cuban families to live in a house, and the sale of houses is prohibited, and they can only exchange houses, but since the deregulation of the private economy in 2011, those Cubans who are active have begun to accumulate wealth through the private economy, and live in large houses through a series of means such as building houses and exchanging houses.
The Old Havana has been listed as a World Heritage Site, but now the Old Havana has become a Cuban atmosphere for tourists, full of restaurants and bars that ordinary Cubans cannot afford, and only red pesos can be used here. Prices are on par with those in Europe and the United States.
Vendors selling souvenirs of Castro and Che Guevara's heads, women in colorful skirts and cigars in their mouths sit on the side of the road in their most dazzling ethnic styles, and they don't do it for nothing----- they pay to take pictures!
There's also a spot here, Hemingway's Penny Tavern. There are crowds of tourists waiting in a queue to write their names on the wall, and the contents are 'so-and-so is here', 'so-and-so I love you', 'so-and-so and so-and-so are the sea rotten', 'Comrade, this is your fault, how can you scribble?How did your parents educate you?How did the teacher teach you?'γγγγγγ
Moreover, in Cuba, you can really see MADEINCHINA everywhere, and they are all the grade of the morning market, and all small commodities and clothing are here, and Xiao Peng even saw the Peak store! In China, the 'Pique' disliked by those so-called hipsters is close to the status of luxury here! Wearing Pickle's clothes and shoes is the kind that you have to hold your head high when you walk!
Really Nyima is awesome!
Oscar's home is near the sea in the old city, next to the local farmers' market, and Xiao Peng followed him in.
There was a ticket supply station here, and the door was full of people, and Oscar told Xiao Peng that it was time to receive oil.
In Cuba, each person is provided with one pound of oil, 12 eggs, five pounds of rice, two pounds of chicken, and two pounds of black beans, which is simply not enough for one person to eat for a month.
After entering the market, Xiao Peng found that the materials were really not as scarce as he imagined, and there were all kinds of grain stores, butchers, fruit stalls, and the prices were even cheaper, which made Xiao Peng smack.
Since it is far away from the tourist area, you can use blue pesos, a watermelon only costs seven blue pesos, half a roast chicken costs nine blue pesos, bread and pastries or something, one blue peso! Two yuan a large watermelon, less than three yuan and half a roast chicken, I ask you if you are afraid?
Xiao Peng saw the sugar cane juice that can be found everywhere in Cuba, and went to the old town for 3 red pesos a cup, and here for 2 blue pesosγγγγγγ
Therefore, the life of the Cuban people is really not as poor as imagined, at least they have food, drink, clothing, housing, free education, and free medical care. That's why the life of the Cuban people is a leisurely one.
When he arrived at Oscar's house, Xiao Peng saw Oscar's wife and children, and her wife was a black man named Dani Gonzalez Denuz. Standard Spanish name.
This Spanish name is usually a Christian name plus a patronymic surname plus a mother's surname, such as Castro, whose full name should be Fidel Castro Ruz. But when it comes to formal addressing, it is called by his real name plus his patronymic, which is Fidel Castro. If it is an official occasion or an official occasion, it is referred to as the father's surname or the mother's surname, and the 'sir' or 'lady' can be added, such as 'Mr. Castro', which is generally called the father's surname, and very few use the mother's surname, such as Picasso, his father's surname is Louis, but he thinks it is too ordinary, so he uses the easy-to-remember maternal surname Picasso, or the woman's family is prominent, then the mother's surname is also used.
And after the Spanish woman gets married, she has to take her husband's surname, and her name is composed of 'her real name plus her father's surname plus her father's surname', before marriage it was Dani Gonzalez, and after marriage it was Dani Denuzγγγγγ
Who still says that the status of Chinese women is low? Now there are not many countries in the world that do not need to change their husband's surname, and Huaxia is one of them!
Oscar actually has three children, but there are only two in the family, and his eldest daughter Carrillo has 'gone to the countryside'.
After graduating from each medical school in Cuba, students must first be a 'barefoot doctor' for three years, and after going to the countryside for three years, they can enter a regular hospital to work or become an expatriate doctor------ which is also one of the reasons for the high level of Cuban doctors, and they can only officially practice medicine after three years of accumulated experience.
The two children at home, one is the second daughter Vargas, and the other is the son Fidel, a name that is really common in Cuba------- is it a tribute to Castro.
However, neither of these children practiced medicine, but chose a different path, that is, sports.
Vargas is a volleyball player, attended the Cuban volleyball school, and has been on the Cuban team since he was fifteen years old. , while Fidel is a baseball player and is now a three-man baseball player in their school. This is not to be underestimated.
Needless to say, Cuban baseball is the best in the world, on a par with the Stars and Stripes. Oh, and boxing, which is also the best in the world!
And in baseball, the third batter is often the strongest batter on a team!
In the baseball game, the position of each batter is very knowledgeable, for example, the first batter is usually the fastest, but the batting ability is not very strong, the role is to get to base, a good start; the second batter is a player with a relatively fast speed, high batting rate, but not a strong long-run ability, their task is to send the first batter to second and third base to score; and the third batter is the core of a team, their speed may not be fast, but they have a high amazing batting rate, as well as a good long batting rate and a good number of home runsγ Their task is very simple, it is to score points, and the fourth bat, the standard power type, their task is one: a home run, or live or die, and the fifth batter is similar to the third bat, and the latter is a poor level.
Fidel can be a three-stick beater, this level is naturally not said, the future is immeasurable!
And Vargas, not to mention, a member of the Cuban women's volleyball team!
In the nineties of the last century, the Cuban women's volleyball team dominated the world women's volleyball world for ten years, and the world's three major volleyball events won eight world championships in a row. Sweep the world!
However, in recent years, the level of the Cuban women's volleyball team has declined to become a second-rate team in the world.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of system.
Due to the recession of Cuba's domestic economy and the lack of high-level professional leagues, Cuba's "golden generation" went to Europe to "pan for gold", which led to the intensification of contradictions, in 2001, the talented setter Aguero in Cuban history because the Cuban Volleyball Association did not allow him to play in the Big Pear League, and finally chose to leave Cuba to join the Big Pear nationality, and won the World Cup championship five years later on behalf of Big Pear
This is known as the 'Cuban defection'.
