You don’t have to be a professional photographer, just send an image (in black and white or color), with a photo caption indicating where it was taken (city and country), type of camera or cell you used, and a small description about it.
Note: it is better for our format if you send horizontal orientation pictures. Even square will work but vertical is a problem.

My bags were delayed last year and I spent most of a day plus more the next day trying to replace toiletries – and I was not trying to buy any ‘brands’ – it was NOT easy – and that was downtown Havana.
The prices were rather high – and could only be found in ‘dollar’ shops. When I asked Cubans they said that prices for soaps, etc. VERY VERY high for Cubans who have completely different salaries. Simple Cuban soap is available on a ration system.
It would be good if writing on this type of question would be more related to actual facts on the ground.
Could the author of the original answer please reply. I am hoping to visit this Chrristmas and have no idea what to expect. Although the answer seems to ignore the vobvious question on female personal hygiene, I would have trusted it
Suddenly I trutst nothing here! Please restore my faith
