 When giving a city tour in Havana I am providing an unbiased explanation that can be a great experience and a great opportunity for a better understanding of the Cuban reality and its contributions at all levels. Here are some things you can have during  city tour:

    A research of the history and culture of Cuba and a better  understanding of  them, providing valuable context for giving an unbiased city tour. This could include suggestions of books, films, pieces of art, documentaries, etc/

  It is important to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about Cuba and its people. Instead I always focus on providing factual information and letting visitors form their own opinions.

    When talking about controversial topics, such as politics or social issues, it is important for me to provide a variety of perspectives. This could include sharing different viewpoints from locals to experts, and visitors.

  When giving a city tour in Cuba, it is important to be respectful and sensitive to the country's history and culture. For those like myself who really love Cuba we usually avoid making negative comments  and be mindful for the visitors's side of the impact that their words may have on others.

Finally , receiving a good city tour in Cuba can be a rewarding experience that allows visitors to gain a better understanding of the country and its contributions. By providing factual information and a variety of perspectives, visitors can form their own opinions and gain a more nuanced understanding of the Cuban reality.

Cuba and IMF

 Answering the friend's questions 

Cuba does not have access to loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) due to the following reasons:

- Cuba is not a member of the IMF, the World Bank (WB), or the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

- The Helms-Burton Act imposed by the United States prevents Cuba from joining these international financial institutions.

- The economic blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba also limits the country's access to international credits and financial transactions.

- This has forced foreign companies operating with Cuban banks to process their operations through intermediary banks, incurring additional costs.

- Foreign experts have advised the Cuban government on the possibility of Cuba joining the IMF, but the normalization of diplomatic relations with the United States and the removal of political conditions are necessary for this to happen.

In summary, the economic blockade imposed by the United States and Cuba's lack of membership in the main international financial institutions prevent it from accessing IMF loans at present.
