定了没啊？
好像１月份是最冷的了。
那我干脆在自家后院养养就算了。
自家后院太风凉了点儿啊～

If you read the article I mentioned on post #23 above, you'll see that the hotel workers are among the richest people in Cuba. I for one do not think we need to blindly shower them with gifts.
If one maid cleans 20 rooms, and each room gives 2 CUC tips per day, then in one day she'd have made enough money for an average Cuban's 1 month salary. Why would there be need to give her a bottle of shampoo or a piece of pen? Why would they have to be the ones to get the stuff other average Cuban's can't get or can't afford? In my opinion, money is enough to show my gratuity for their service.
If I have friends in Cuba, then I would have no doubt bring those hard to find things to them if they need them. But the hotel workers I have never met? I don't feel there is a need.
You know, when I first came to Canada, my mom made me to bring lots of trinkets to give as "gifts" to my would be new Canadian friends. I did give some away, but I still have tones of them left somewhere in the basement. Yes, they are hard to find here in Canada, you probably wont be able to buy them if you throw money around, but is it what's appropriate to give to everyone I meet? NO. And this is how I feel about bringing random gifts to Cuba as well.
Well, this is a philosophical question like radish and bai cai. If others feel differently from me, then by all means carry on!
