CUBAN CHRONICLES
by Walter Lippmann
February 12, 2019
This is the ETECSA office at 17th and S streets in Vedado. This is the main place where I do the great bulk of my written online activity. There are 20 computers in this office of which 17 or so are usually in working, functional condition. Going online here costs only one CUC per hour. It is nicely air-conditioned and it is a quiet place most of the time. There used to be long lines for people getting into this place but in this past year, with the beginning of home base to internet through your cell phones, there are almost never a line to get into the office. The only line they have are to get into buy more internet or cell phone cards. The man with the baseball hat, looking at the camera, is, of course, yours truly. The security guard kindly agreed to my request to take my picture, showing me working. Never a day goes by when I’m not in this office.
