This is a small vending station we spotted in Havana, Cuba. The typical hole in the wall (literally!) establishment that serves people on their way to work early in the morning.

Whenever you read a travel guide, you’ll always come across the typical paragraph suggesting you to learn a few “useful words and sentences” in the local language of the country you are about to visit.
