RE: That time I became a Cuban smuggler | Part 2 of 2
It´s always amazing what you find out once you go out of your comfort zone and start speaking to locals, you really get to know how the real life in a country is, instead of what the TV and social media want you to believe.
Where are you from? Is your country similar to this or why can you relate to the story?
You are absolutely right. What we hear and see on the TV is never a true reflection and this has been confirmed also by @tangerinetravels ever since they have been touring Mexico. So many wrong things being said about Mexico but the reality is different from the inside.
I can relate to it because, here in Nigeria, the common man couldn't gain access to afford basic needs due to bad leadership, not due to ban or illegal deals. The rich keeps getting richer while the poor keep struggling and hoping on luck. Due to ailing economy too, the price of good and services have gone up when there has never been a significant increase in income.
