Ukuhlala eCuba

• ECuba azikho iihostele ezininzi kunye neehostele okwangoku, ngakumbi kuba uninzi lwala mashishini luxhomekeke kwimveliso zaseMelika ezinjengeHostelworld okanye iAirbnb ukufumana ukubonakala okukhulu. Ngethamsanqa, ukusukela ngo-2016 zombini ezi nkampani zinike ukukhanya okuluhlaza kubanini beehotele baseCuba abafuna ukubhalisa kwiwebhusayithi yabo, ke ngekhe kumangalise ukuba kukho indawo yokuhlala yolu hlobo kwesi siqithi kwiinyanga ezimbalwa. Kwimeko yam, ihostele kuphela eCuba apho ndandihlala khona yayiyiCasa Iraida, kwindawo yaseVedado, eyayicetyiswa kakhulu kwaye ingabizi.
• Ngenxa yokunqongophala koluhlu olukhulu lweehotele, indawo yokuhlala eCuba ziyancitshiswa zaya kwiindawo ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide ezaziwayo (ngakumbi kwiindawo zolwandle kunye nezitshixo) okanye izindlu zabucala ezidumileyo (nezinexabiso eliphantsi) zaseCuba, amakhaya aqeshwe ngabantu balapha ngokwabo.

• Ukuba ukhetha ibhasi kuya kufuneka uye kuyo IViazul, eyona nkampani iphambili elawula iindlela phakathi kweendawo eziphambili zabakhenkethi eCuba.

Nxibelelana nabantu baseCuba

• Ndimele ndivume ukuba, eCuba, eyona nto intle ibikukunxibelelana nabantu baseCuba kunye nendlela yabo yobomi. Abasindileyo abaye bafunda ukuhlala nobuncinci, abathi nanini na apho banokukunceda, bavule iingcango zendlu yabo bakumemele kwikhofi eyenziwe ekhaya ngelixa bekubonisa ialbham yefoto endala.

I-Etecsa yinkampani yonxibelelwano yeCuba, ehambisa amakhadi e-Wi-Fi kwiindawo zayo zokudibanisa kwi-Intanethi. Ikhadi lixabisa i-1.50 CUC kwaye likuvumela ukuba ulawule iyure ye-Intanethi ukuze uyisebenzise nanini na ufuna. Okubi?

• Xa usebenzisa ikhadi lakho, kwanele ukubona abantu abaninzi abaneselfowuni epakini okanye isikwere ukuze bazi ukuba kukho indawo ye-Wi-Fi apho. Ukuya kuthi ga kumanqaku e-Wi-Fi angama-35 afakelwe eHavana kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo, nangona u-Etecsa ecinga ngokwandisa inethiwekhi emva kokuba etyikitye isivumelwano noGoogle kuDisemba ophelileyo.
