My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

Over the past 8 years, I have been there<br />
10 times. Its rich history, impressive<br />
architecture, and culture fascinated<br />
me immediately on my first trip.<br />
For me, Cuba is one of the most<br />
photogenic countries in the world and<br />
Havana, its capital, is a must-have in a<br />
photographers’ bucket lists. Strolling<br />
down the streets and visiting buildings<br />
and ruins, I captured the charm of this<br />
city with my best photos.<br />

Contemporary Havana can<br />
essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana,<br />
Vedado, and the newer suburban districts. Havana is<br />
by far the most iconic city for classic cars. You can see<br />
old-school American automobile brands like Oldsmobile<br />
Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Ford, and a nice sampling<br />
of Plymouths. These are cars that collectors spend tens<br />
of thousands of dollars on, and they are the standard<br />
commuting vehicles on Cuba’s streets. Classic cars are<br />
so common in Havana and Cuba that the country is often<br />
called “A rolling car museum”.<br />
