This one time, I had to take a trip to a whole different kind of neighbourhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling a bit apprehensive, but keeping in mind that without photos, nothing ever really happened, I got my camera out and started getting a few shots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even the cars were from a different era, not of this century at all, probably more like what people have in Cuba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And there were uniformed fascists intimidating people in the streets.<\/strong><\/p>\n
