To celebrate our graduation, my friends and I went to Varadero, Cuba for a week.

Long story short, there was alot of alcohol, chicken and potatoes, relaxing, heat and humidity.

 

Here are my ten favourite things about Cuba:

 

 

 

1. The booooooze

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was so much alcohol everywhere we went...Being Korean, I can't have enough of it

 

 

 

 

2. The resort

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't speak so much for the other hotels, but the resort we stayed at was Superb! The staff was friendly, the rooms were super tidy and it was so beautiful everywhere.

 

 

 

 

3. The beaches

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beaches! That's what we go to Cuba for, right?

They were clean, blue-green, and very salty.

 

 

 

 

4. The architecture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There were not many buildings in Varadero other than the hotels, but we saw some beautiful buildings when we went out to Havana.

 

 

 

 

5. All-you-can-eat restaurant service

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that the food was good. I had chicken and potatoes every meal at the hotel because that was the only thing that tasted like anything. But having lived by myself for so long, I'll miss the prepared food and dishwashing free days.

 

 

 

 

6. Cool cars

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cars in Cuba look awesome. period.

 

 

 

 

7. The booze

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh wait...did I mention this already?

lol. it deserves repeat.

 

 

 

8. All the cute/interesting animals

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these animals walk in the streets of Cuba, everywhere.

It was kinda interesting since the only animals we come across in Toronto are pigeons...

 

 

 

 

9. Cheap lobsters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It wasn't the best lobster I've ever had, but I love lobsters and it was the price of chicken in Toronto.

 

 

 

 

10. The people

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The people in the streets were rather hard to adjust to but the hotel staff, the tour guides and servers at restaurants were very friendly and helpful. We are paying for the service, yes, but these are the people who can completely change the vacation so I'm really greatful that I met alot of wonderful people.

 

And good friends make it unforgettable
