Largest island in the Caribbean, there are alot of gems.

Like @MikelArteta said Havana is sick, they shoot the cannons into the sea from the fortress. Malecón 😅 is nice to drive down.

Topes de collantes has a lot of beautiful greenery, I think there's one of the national parks there. When I went, me and my boy did some cliff diving and excursions - make sure you do it. I think

Cienfuegos is a dope town to visit, again very historical, if you like history Cuba's the place to be. Especially since there's still people alive who lived through the revolution, they have stories.

Trinidad has a lot of history and architecture from colonial times, it's worth seeing it. If you see end up in that town where they made a statue for that slave catching dog, make sure you spit on it :wow:


From what my girls cousin told me, the food/supply storages is even bigger, don't forget to bring something to give the cleaning staff and people you know.

When I went down I had a blue jays shirt I was wearing and the security guard wanted it. On my last day I gave it to him dude started to cry.

But yeah hit up your dollar store and buy like razors, shaving cream, tampons, deodorant etc. they will treat you like a king for that. Even used clothing I gave away most of the clothes I brought down and my sandals etc.

I remember I did 7 days and after a few i was bored as hell in varadero then went to havana and was damn wish I booked hhere instead

I haven't been to either I read that it's just the Las Vegas of the middle east.

How true is that?

I’d say yeah

Again I don’t club or party or gamble. The architecture is nice and the malls are top tier but that’s about it to me.

Not to mention it’s 104 and even at night it’s like 95

Glad I’m bouncing tomorrow

But they got some fly shyt like going to the top of the Burj Khalifa, Ski Dubai, canal cruise, Atlantis water park, swim in the Dubai mall aquarium, and the old Dubai with the souq and shisha belly dance spots.

That's what I did when I was there with the Navy.

Did a week in London and took the train to Brussels for a day.

London:

-Gets props for the tube. Well-functioning system that takes you all over town for $80 a week. Compare that to $30 for each Uber on average it's not a question
-But props taken away cuz the tube closes at midnight. FOH.
-Most diverse city on the planet by far. Even heard Dominican accented Spanish, and found Colombian shops in Brixton.
-Speaking of Brixton, it's classic gentrification. Coffee shop chicks and white dudes with craft breweries, but still grimy and locals are staying put.
-Shoreditch, on the other hand, was drunk PAWG city. The standard kicks spots and graffiti murals you find in any other hipster area.
-I stayed in Ealing, mad quiet just the way I wanted it. My block had Jamaican, Persian, Turkish, Mexican, Viet, and Indian food spots. Impossible to not enjoy a meal of whatever cuisine you're into here. Mad props for that.
-I wasn't even tripping on the cliche Big Ben shyt, but my homie recommended I hit the South Bank. And now I recommend it to you: hit it on a sunny Saturday and you will have the time of your life. Women from all corners of the globe. All ages, sizes, shapes...good lord. I was dolo and saw so many women also dolo. It's too easy brehs. Just by asking them to take a flick of me I got contacts, socials, numbers. That was dope for someone like myself that took off on some I just got dumped let me GTFOH.
-Nightlife: Shoreditch was crawling with PAWGs on "fukk me" patrol. Squads of 4-5 just roaming. Other than that, there were cute melaninated women here and there, but over all very mid to late 20s vibe. So I bounced to a R&B party in Brixton, which was more my speed.
-And the dopest part: to go drinks. fukk an open container law, fukk a fine. You can get a brew to go at a pub and just walk peacefully with your drink like a normal adult. It's the simple pleasures...

Brussels:

-Very slept on. And not full of PAWGs either, although on that department Brussels > London. There's a large black community, and also lots of mixing. Coli militants would hate it here, but the rest of us will enjoy the ill Atomium (some other shyt, just go) and the EU Parliament. The metro is also dope, and you can get ill views of the city at the Palais de Justice ferris wheel.
-Belgian chicks are also mad friendly, and very worldly. They speak 3-4 languages fluently, and are progressive in general.
-It's a little wild to leave the train station and realize that not too long ago ISIS was shooting up people there
-Nevertheless, the city has something for everyone. I got a Lime scooter and roamed around finding random shyt.

The bank holiday fukked me, cuz the trains to Paris were all sold out. Marie Antoinette gonna have to wait.

Travels brehs

Went to Westworld this weekend










Valencia is a great city, very different to Barcelona. Not as busy, great buildings many built by the Arabics and of course the Science Museum which is nothing like I've seen before in my life, no wonder Westworld used it.

Being close to North Africa Weather is great, hardly rains here so its a good place to go anytime of the year speah for us UK Brehs.
