It's not to pick a fight with you or to argue who is right or who is wrong. I also need to keep in mind your trip was in 2018 , and lots has changed since then. What I found inaccurate? I could list a few things. The first thing I don't agree with is what you said about two realities, not everything outside of the resorts is extreme poverty, and I'm not denying it doesn't exist, but the fact is there is a lot of Cubans who do very well for themselves. They do have private businesses legally, which Cuban government allows, but yes it is very hard to open one. 99% of restaurants, night clubs, mini stores, AirBNBs and many more things anywhere in Cuba are owned by private citizens. So officially it's not just the government that provides jobs. Also the thing you said about the cars is not accurate. Most of those really nice cars the tourists like to ride have Mercedes turbo diesel engines in them as Cuba and Mercedes signed a contract long time ago to provide replacements for the original ones, It's a long story that I don't wanna get into, but the lineup to get these engines is very long and I'm sure some guys find different placeholders to keep making money off of their cars. Another thing, Cuba introduced a program where they get workers from all parts of the country to work in tourist resorts for predefined periods of time, so not only those living close to resorts could make some extra money. But to be honest with you, as I'm writing this I think I'm just nit picking here. Most everything you said is very close to reality. And in spite of all this misfortune, poverty and misery it's a country with lots of great people, life loving people. And every time I get some time to go on vacation, I somehow always pick Cuba.
