ч12 Куба - Тарас едет в Россию за обувью

Since he can't earn any more money, Taras decides to try shuttle trading. February 2017, Cuba is not a cheap country for tourists, although as Taraz says, you can eat rice and bananas almost for free, but even local food by European standards will cost from 300 dollars per family per month. The prices are regulated by the state. Transportation and accommodation for tourists cost tens of times more. For example, renting a room is at least 15 dollars, although for a local this may be enough for a month's rent. Economic activity is almost prohibited - everything is prohibited. Cuba is an amazing country stuck in the past, but maybe this is a picture of our future with the laws of recent years. People are content, if not happy, with their situation. Most cannot imagine life any other way, but there are some who try to escape from such happiness, risking their lives, and they are sent to hard labor so that they realize their happiness.
