You've got to be f*#kn' kidding me !?!?!?

Viva Cuba libre!!!!!! An oxymoron if ever I heard one. Well folks, the inevitable has happened. We got caught by immigration doing the evil evil thing of my sleeping at my boyfriend's house! I tell you, we should be shot. Where's the firing squad?

It all started abouyt 2 weeks ago (when Jan was here actually). Received a call Wednesday mortning (on my day off!!!) from immuigration. Alex was out of town. He'd left that morning for Matanzas for training. Go to immigration, get bitched at by some prick because some immigration dude saw me taking the workers' bus from the road where my boyfriend lives. They ask my relationship with this person who's house I stayed at. I couldn't believe they were asking. What business is it of there's???? They ask for my boyfriend's name which i didn't want to give. In retrospect, should have given it. I think it really frustrated them and made thme angrier. So long story short, they bitch at me andf tell me that I must sleep in the hotel or face deportation, maybe forever. I'm all worried about Alex, waiting for him to call me to inform him of what happened.

Of course, he found oiut soon enough. They tracked him down in Havana. Thought he was trying to flee. Put him in jail for a couple days while they searched through all his clothes for druygs. Went to his house. Blah blah blah. Big deal out of nothing just 'cause I stayed in my boyfriend's house!!!!

Threathened to take the grandmother to jail (it's her house so technically she's responsible!) threathened a huge fine (because then they made up the story that he was actually renting to me! What i don't understand is how anybody could look at that and think, yeah it's obvious tjhat a foreigner would want to pay to sleep in a house in the middle of nowhere with no running water, an outhouse, no shower or AC!)

So now I have to stay at the hotwel which is really driving me crazy. Staying around those tourists all the time is insane. And they doin't leave you alone eiher. I'm having supper or whatever, no in uniform and they'll come up to me and say I know you're not working but....And I just want to yell, Exactly, I'm not working so leave me alone!!!! So this job because a lot less appealing when I saw that I could no longer see my boyfriend like I wanted. I didn't llike irt too much to begin with and as time went by I grew more and more annoyed with tourists and their stupid menial insignificant complaints. So I decided to come home soon, in 2-3 weeks. Don't think I'll be a rep again. But don't get your hopes up, don't think I'll stay in Montreal either. There might be another job in the works. Will have to send my CV to someone. The job is in biotech again but I'll tell youi all about it when I get back. See you soon!!!
