Hiphop

So today we went to this Hip Hop concert close to where the Zoo was which was interesting to say the least. The zoo I mean. All the animals were really close and it was unlike any Zoo i've ever been to. the animals were literally only a fence away! Also, the people who were at the zoo kept feeding the animals crackers and cookies and all sorts of things. And the animals looked sickly. But it was a huge zoo. Had they had enough money I'm sure it would have been a great zoo but as it was it was kind of awful. Also, we had to pay the tourist price which is 2CUC when the entrance fee for Cubans was only 1mn. I was a little upset because, granted we are here as tourists sort of but we are studying here for 3 months, I mean c'mon. So back to the hip hop concert, it was aight. The group that performed has been censored a few times because they speak about life in Cuba and sometimes that entails a critic on the government but they get away with saying that they are merely sharing personal experiences and not spreading any propaganda.
