Cuba Day 5 - Havana

Today plan was National Captical, Tobacco Factory, and Museo de la Revelucion, Unfortunately I found out there's no cigar tour in the capital until next year, and National Captical is closed for renovation. The Lonely Planet stated it was closed at the time of writing, and it was written couple years ago. At the end I traded those 2 itinerary items with the Cuban Art Museum. The Revolution Museum was good, to tour the former presidential palace and as well learn a little more about the revolution history and see some interesting artifacts. The Cuban art museum was definitely worth it. I personally like modern art more than traditional art, but I visited the latter last so was kind of too tired to really enjoy it. Never the less it was a treat. Contrary to the Lonely Planet, the Cuban art museum is $5, not free. There are noticeably more street hustler on the street than small town Santa Clara, as expected. I was approached by men and women numerous time, all seems to off for something. The most common one was young people asking passer by to salsa party. The most funny one was a guy who told me he played in a jazz band which flied to the Edmonton Jazz Fest, that today is his birthday, and he is playing for the Buena Vista Social Club today at a venue somewhere close by, and that Fidel Castro is going there too, that he told me all these because I come from Canada. OK.... As far as I know, Fidel is ailing and is sick in bed... At the end of the day, I made a detour to the China town where I was the only Chinese there. I took a picture of the gateway, the street name, and I'm out of there.
