[Leica] IMGS: Buying Rice

[Tina Manley]

PESO:

I took lots of photos of people lined up to buy rice in the government
stores.  These are the last two:

The most confusing thing about Cuba is the money.  There are two kinds,
CUCs for tourists and CUPs for locals.  In the government stores, you could
only use CUPs.  To ride the bici-taxis, the rate for tourists is 1 CUC and
for locals it is 1 CUP.  It takes 12 CUPs to make 1 CUC.  Makes everything
a little more fair, I guess.

C&C greatly appreciated.
