Cuban society is relatively stable and law and order is good. There are no serious terrorist activities and criminal offences, but robbery and theft also occur from time to time. Especially in areas with relatively small population and backward conditions, we must go out together and bring as little cash and valuables as possible. Dress appropriately and don't be too conspicuous. When you go out, take care of your passport, air ticket, money, etc. And prepare a copy of your certificate. Call the police in time in case of distress. If necessary, you should contact the Embassy of China as soon as possible.

Intransitive verbs travel and transport

Cuba's traffic conditions are relatively backward, and there are not many high-end cars, mainly concentrated in foreign permanent offices. Most of the classic cars decades ago were in poor condition, and most of them had no air conditioning. The main means of transportation are buses, taxis and local trains.

There are two types of taxis. One is imported cars in good condition, such as Peugeot, Hyundai and Volkswagen, which are more common in airports and restaurants. The other is the old LADA car, which is more common in the street. The car is in poor condition, mainly carrying local people, and the price is relatively cheap.

Cuba has an ancient tradition that has been maintained for many years. Because there are too few means of transportation, Cubans waving and stopping cars can be seen everywhere on the roadside. In the case of hitchhiking, the vehicles of state-owned institutions with light blue license plates must stop pulling as long as there is space. At major bus stops, the government also sent special personnel to hold signs with the words "Stop" to help people waiting for the bus stop.

There are few vehicles in Cuba, and traffic jams rarely occur. Usually travel, driving is smoother. Only after hurricane or rainy season, some sections with poor drainage system are flooded, resulting in traffic jams.

Some of them passed through Cuba unharmed, and some have landed in Cuba, causing storms, water cuts, power cuts and gas cuts, building damage and even casualties. The Cuban government has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with hurricanes. Every time there is a hurricane, we will do a good job of prevention and early warning in advance and transfer the residents in the relevant areas in time. But for the sake of safety, our citizens should carefully choose the time when they come to Cuba during the hurricane.

Eight. National currency

June 5438+October 2004 10, the ancient government issued a decree prohibiting the circulation of US dollars.
