Latest updates: The Health tab was updated - travel health notices (Public Health Agency of Canada)
Cuba - Exercise normal security precautions
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Cuba. Exercise normal security precautions.
Travel Health Notice - Zika virus
The Public Health Agency of Canada has issued a Travel Health Notice for the Zika virus infection in the Americas recommending that Canadians practice special health precautions while travelling in affected countries. Pregnant women and those considering becoming pregnant should discuss their travel plans with their health care provider to assess their risk and consider postponing travel to areas where the Zika virus is circulating in the Americas. See Health for more information.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Canadians often encounter problems accessing funds while in Cuba. Consult the Laws and Culture tab for more information.
Pickpocketing, theft and assault occur, and Canadians are increasingly reporting being victims of these crimes, especially in Havana (the neighbourhoods of Old Havana, Centro Havana, the Malecón and Vedado) and on the beaches of Playa del Este and Varadero.
Theft of items from checked baggage at Cuban airports is frequent. Bags, including locked suitcases, are being opened, and items removed. Do not pack valuables in your checked luggage. All bags are routinely X-rayed on arrival and departure as part of normal local procedure.
Reports of violent crime are also on the rise. Exercise caution at all times, especially in tourist areas and crowded places. Ensure that personal belongings, passport and other travel documents are secure at all times. Avoid wearing jewellery or showing signs of affluence. If you are robbed, remain calm and do not resist. When reporting a crime to local police, you should insist on receiving the document Comprobante de Denuncia as confirmation that a report has been made. Police officers may speak only Spanish.
Road travel
Avoid driving in Cuba, as driving conditions can be hazardous. Road signs are scarce. Bicycles, pedestrians and horse-drawn carts use the middle of the road and do not readily give way to oncoming vehicles. Many vehicles are old and poorly maintained. Inoperable vehicles are often left on the road until repaired. Few roads are lit and some vehicles do not have lights or reflectors. If you must drive, drive defensively at all times and avoid driving after dark.
The Autopista Central (national highway), which runs half the length of the island, is generally in good condition. Other roads are generally poor. Allowing hitchhikers into your vehicle is not advised.
Public transportation
City buses are infrequent and overcrowded. Tour companies offer good bus service between airports and the all-inclusive resorts. Buses used for organized day trips from hotels are also in good condition.
Radio taxis are generally reliable. Avoid unlicensed private taxis as well as old model private vehicles offered as taxis. The latter are not equipped with safety features such as seat belts and air bags and there is no insurance coverage for passengers in case of an accident. Yellow, three-wheeled Coco taxis are unsafe and should be avoided.
Air travel
The Government of Canada does not assess foreign domestic airlines' compliance with international aviation safety standards. See Foreign domestic airlines for more information.
General security information
Unscheduled electric power surges and outages are common. Most tourist resorts are equipped with generators.
Telephone communication is a problem. Calls are often not answered, even at major institutions. Technical problems also exist. Calls may be connected to a different number than the one dialled. It often takes repeated tries to place a call to another city, particularly after rain. Reliable cell phone service is available in most major cities. Cell phones compatible with North American standards can be used in Cuba. Canadian cell phones generally function. You may arrange for cell phone service by contacting Cubacel at 05 264-2266.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of every country or territory to determine who is allowed to enter or exit. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry or exit requirements. The following information has been obtained from the Cuban authorities and is subject to change at any time. The country- or territory-specific entry/exit requirements are provided on this page for information purposes only. While every effort is made to provide accurate information, information contained here is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Government of Canada assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable for any damages in connection to the information provided. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a valid passport to enter and exit Cuba. In order to avoid unexpected delays, we recommend that your passport be valid for at least one month beyond the date of your expected departure from the country. Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Tourist card or visa: Required
Personal visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Canadians must also carry a tourist card (or visa), or a business or student visa. The tourist card is generally provided by tour operators or airlines, or can be obtained from a Cuban government office in Canada in the case of privately organized flights. It can also be purchased at certain airports in Canada.
Visitors are prohibited from undertaking business activities when travelling on a tourist visa.
If you intend to stay at a private residence or do business while in Cuba, check with the Cuban government office in Canada prior to departure.
Canadian tourists who were born in Canada may stay in Cuba for up to six months, but must check in with immigration authorities or with a tourism office in Cuba prior to the 90th day of their stay to apply for an extension. Canadian tourists who were born outside Canada may be treated differently by Cuban officials and may be informed that they can only stay for 30 days, even though they are travelling on a Canadian passport.
Documents required upon entry
Upon entry into Cuba, tourists should have a return air ticket and evidence of sufficient funds. Travellers arriving with "air only" tickets must show that they have sufficient funds to meet their minimum financial needs (equivalent to 50 Cuban convertible pesos per day for the duration of the stay).
Dual citizenship
Cuban-Canadians must enter Cuba on their Cuban passport. They must also show a valid Canadian passport in order to return to Canada. Travellers born in Cuba (regardless of current citizenship) should contact a Cuban government office in Canada to ensure compliance with Cuban regulations. Failure to do so may result in being refused entry into Cuba, being detained upon entry, or being refused departure by Cuban immigration authorities.
See Laws & culture for more information.
Health insurance
You must present proof of health insurance in order to enter the country. Upon arrival, travellers may be required to present an insurance policy, insurance certificate or medical assistance card valid for the period of their stay in Cuba. Those who do not have proof of insurance coverage may be required to obtain health insurance from a Cuban insurance company when they arrive.
Temporary residents also have to hold valid health insurance policies.
Although proof of Canadian provincial health insurance is sufficient for visitors to enter Cuba, your provincial plan may cover only part of the costs and will not pay the bill up-front, as required. It is therefore recommended that you purchase supplemental health insurance. Note that some private insurers also require the traveller to pay costs up-front and be reimbursed later. Cuban authorities will not allow anyone with outstanding medical bills to leave the country.
All health insurance policies are recognized, except those issued by U.S. insurance companies, as they cannot provide coverage in Cuba.
For additional details on this requirement, please consult the Embassy of Cuba in Canada.
U.S. residents
Under U.S. law, people residing in the United States, including Canadian citizens, are prohibited from spending money (in any currency) related to Cuban travel unless they are licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). For more information about the Cuban sanctions program, contact OFAC at 202-622-2000.
Health screening
You may be subjected to a medical examination when you are entering or exiting Cuba, or reporting for domestic flights. In some cases, you may be quarantined for up to seven days for medical observation if you are believed to have symptoms of the H1N1 flu virus or have come in contact with a suspected carrier of the virus.
Airport tax
There is a mandatory airport tax of 25 Cuban convertible pesos. This fee is included in cost of your airline ticket.
Children and travel
Any adult travelling with children may be required to show evidence of parental/custodial and/or access rights. Foreign and Canadian authorities may also require evidence that the adult has the consent of the parents, the legal guardian and/or the court to travel with the children. Some countries or regions may not permit children to enter or, in some cases, to leave the country or region without proper documentation such as a letter of consent or a court order.
Any Canadian minor (under 18 years of age) travelling to Cuba without parents should contact the Embassy of Cuba in Canada before departure to obtain up-to-date information on entry requirements. Special procedures regarding letters of consent may apply.
See Children for more information.
Yellow fever
See Health to obtain information on this country's vaccination requirements.
- Zika virus infection in the Americas - February 3, 2016 00:00 EST
- Cholera in Cuba, Dominican Republic and Haiti - September 28, 2015 00:00 EDT
- Chikungunya: Global Update - September 28, 2015 00:00 EDT
- Measles: Global Update - July 16, 2015 00:00 EDT
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in the Caribbean, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in the Caribbean. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Cholera is a bacterial disease that is most often spread by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated. It causes diarrhea and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are at very low risk. Travellers at higher risk include those visiting, working or living in areas with limited access to safe food, water and proper sanitation, or to areas where outbreaks are occurring. Travellers at higher risk should discuss with a health care provider the benefits of getting vaccinated.
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in the Caribbean, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, malaria and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Dengue fever
- Dengue fever occurs in this country. Dengue fever is a viral disease that can cause severe flu-like symptoms. In some cases it leads to dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal.
- The risk of dengue is higher during the daytime, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against dengue fever.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in the Caribbean, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Consult Well on Your Way—A Canadian's Guide to Healthy Travel Abroad for more information.
Generally, Cuba's medical services are acceptable, although basic medicine and equipment are not always available. Emergency and ambulance services are very limited and response times are slow, especially in rural areas.
The Cira García Hospital (Calle 20, No. 4101, corner of avenida 41 Playa; tel.: 204-2668 or 204-2489) offers health services reserved for foreigners. International Servimed clinics provide emergency medical care and are located in most major tourist areas around the island.
In most hospitals, guarantee of payment (or payment in cash) must be provided in advance. Check with your insurance company for payment/reimbursement procedures.
Medical tourism
Consult our page entitled Receiving Medical Care in Other Countries if you are contemplating undergoing a medical procedure in Cuba.
Prescription drugs
Canadians with prescription medications are responsible for determining whether or not their medication is prohibited in Cuba. They should bring sufficient quantities of prescription drugs with them. Medications should be kept in the original container and packed in carry-on luggage. As pharmacies sometimes run out of stock, visitors should also bring basic medicine, particularly if travelling to outlying areas.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Canadian consular officials may be accompanied by Cuban authorities during visits with Canadians who have been arrested or detained.
Under the Cuban judicial system, charges are not laid until the investigation is complete, and the accused may be jailed during the entire period of investigation. Although Cuba retains the death penalty, to date it has never been applied in the case of a foreign offender.
Crimes such as drug trafficking, assault, sexual assault, and assisting in illegal migration of people are punishable by long prison sentences. Drinking and driving is against the law. The blood alcohol content limit for drivers in Cuba has been set at .04 percent (40 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood).
Avoid military zones and any other restricted or heavily guarded areas. These are not always identified. Photographing military or police installations or personnel, or harbour, rail and airport facilities, is forbidden.
All electronic devices with Global Positioning System technology, including cellular telephones, are illegal and may be confiscated upon entry to Cuba.
Traffic accidents are a frequent cause of arrest and detention of Canadians in Cuba. Accidents resulting in death or injury are treated as crimes, and the onus is on the driver to prove innocence. Regardless of the nature of the accident, it can take five months to a year for a case to go to trial. In most cases, the driver will not be allowed to leave Cuba until the trial has taken place. In some cases, the driver will be imprisoned during this delay.
Vehicle rentals
Be cautious when renting a vehicle in Cuba. Although insurance is offered, coverage differs from that in Canada. Contract agreements do not cover occasional drivers; therefore, the signatory is responsible for all people driving the vehicle. If you are found to be at fault in any way in an accident, rental agencies will nullify your coverage and seek damages to cover the cost of repairs, which can be very high.
Avoid renting scooters, as thieves target them and you may be responsible for the cost of their replacement.
Rental agencies are government-controlled and can prevent you from leaving the country unless they receive payment.
Sex tourism
Cuba is actively working to prevent child sex tourism, and a number of tourists, including Canadians, have been convicted of offences related to the corruption of minors aged 16 and under. Prison sentences range from 7 to 25 years. Release on bail before trial is unlikely.
Dual citizenship
Dual citizenship is not legally recognized in Cuba. If local authorities consider you a Cuban citizen, they may refuse to grant you access to Canadian consular services, thereby preventing Canadian consular officials from providing you with those services. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times to minimize this risk. Citizenship is determined solely by national laws, and the decision to recognize dual citizenship rests completely with the country in which you are located when seeking consular assistance. See Travelling as a dual citizen for more information.
Boat traffic
The U.S. government closely monitors boat traffic in the Straits of Florida. Officials will seize any vessel without a licence from the Office of Foreign Assets Control if they believe it is headed for Cuba. Canadians who dock their Canadian-registered boats in Florida are subject to these measures, whereas those Canadian boats simply en route to Cuba via the U.S. will be exempt. However, expect to be thoroughly searched and questioned if you are in the latter category.
Imports and exports
Articles prohibited from entry into Cuba include drugs, explosives, pornographic material, literature considered subversive, perishable food items, radio transmission equipment, wireless microphones, radio and TV receivers differing from household models, global positioning systems (GPS), satellite receiver antennas and stations, air conditioners, and small appliances that draw heavily on electricity. Such items are routinely seized on arrival without compensation.
Cuban customs officials may also seize any imported item that they do not consider to be for the tourist's personal use.
Cuban customs may apply steep tariffs for travellers whose personal baggage exceeds 30 kg or who are carrying more than 10 kg of medication.
Donations of any type, whether by individuals, organizations or businesses, must be coordinated through the Embassy of Cuba in Canada.
You may export up to 20 cigars from Cuba without documentation or up to 50 cigars if they are in the original container, closed and sealed with the official hologram. If exceeding that amount, you must also provide a guarantee of origin certificate. Failure to comply with this regulation will lead to the seizure of the cigars without compensation. Art objects (including artifacts and paintings) purchased in Cuba must be accompanied by an export permit (usually provided by state-owned galleries). Otherwise, items must be registered with the Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales, Calle 17, No. 1009 e/10 y 12, Vedado, tel.: 53-7-833-9658.
It is forbidden to leave Cuba with illegally purchased lobsters. Authorities can impose heavy fines and require the offender to pay before leaving the country.
For detailed information on import and export requirements, please consult the Cuban Customs Administration.
Black market
Travellers may be approached and offered black-market goods, such as cigars, or asked to change dollars for Cuban convertible pesos. Engaging in black-market transactions is illegal and can lead to difficulties with the Cuban authorities. Never transport packages for strangers. Pack all luggage yourself.
Marriage to a Cuban citizen does not guarantee your spouse immediate access to Canada. The immigration process takes at least 10 months, and you must initiate the sponsorship in Canada. For additional information, consult Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Marrying a Cuban does not automatically entitle you to live with your spouse in Cuba, even for just a few days. To be able to stay in your spouse's residence, you must have a personal visa so that you are properly registered with local authorities. Your spouse can be fined or jailed if you do not follow the rules. Cubans accompanying foreign visitors, especially in bars and hotels, may be asked for identification papers and denied entry.
Canadians wishing to marry a Cuban in Cuba may visit the Web site of the Embassy of Cuba in Canada for more information on required documents and procedures.
Two Canadians who have never been married before need to present the following documents to be married in Cuba:
a) valid passport; and
b) the tourist card obtained upon arrival.
If either of the Canadians has been married before, in addition to a valid passport and tourist card, he or she must produce the following documents:
a) if divorced, the certificate of divorce;
b) if widowed, the certificate of marriage and the spouse's death certificate.
Furthermore, these certificates must be legalized and authenticated by Canadian authorities, translated into typewritten Spanish, without errors or corrections, and then forwarded to the Cuban embassy or a Cuban consulate in Canada for legalization and authentication.
Cuba has two official currencies: the Cuban convertible peso (CUC) and the national peso (moneda nacional or MN). Transactions involving foreigners almost always take place in CUC. However, visitors should familiarize themselves with the moneda nacional, since it is a common scam for merchants to give change in moneda nacional instead of CUC. The CUC is worth substantially more than the MN.
Accessing funds in Cuba
Canadians often encounter problems accessing funds while in Cuba. Debit cards and Canadian money transfers are not accepted in Cuba. Credit cards are not widely accepted; in particular, credit cards issued by American financial institutions, such as American Express, and some credit cards issued by certain Canadian financial institutions affiliated with American banks, are not accepted. Other credit cards are generally accepted at major establishments such as state-run hotels and restaurants and international resort chains. Private restaurants (paladares) and private guest houses (casas particulares) do not accept credit cards of any kind. Credit card cash advances (in CUCs) may be obtained at banks, hotels or Cadeca exchange houses.
Automated banking machines (ABMs) are rare and do not always work in Cuba. In Havana, cash advances in CUCs from Visa cards can be obtained from the ABMs located in the Miramar Trade Centre and in some hotels. In Varadero, ABMs are located in the Plaza America and at banks. If you use an ABM, do so during business hours at a location inside a bank or large commercial building. Leave copies of your card numbers with a family member in case of emergency.
Most foreign currencies can be exchanged at Cadeca exchange houses, found in Cuba's international airports and in urban areas, as well as in banks and major hotels. Canadian currency (cash and traveller's cheques) may be exchanged for CUC without fees. American Express traveller's cheques are accepted at certain banks. Keep receipts for traveller's cheques separate. Australian dollars cannot be exchanged anywhere on the island. Exchange of U.S. currency is possible, but is subject to an additional fee.
It is against Cuban law to remove CUCs from Cuba. They can be exchanged for U.S. dollars (and Canadian dollars, if available) at international airports before leaving the country. It is not possible to exchange CUCs outside of Cuba.

Hurricane Season
The hurricane season extends from June to the end of November. The National Hurricane Center provides additional information on weather conditions. Stay informed of regional weather forecasts, and follow the advice and instructions of local authorities.
Cuba is located in an active seismic zone and is prone to earthquakes and tremors. Earthquakes can occur anywhere throughout the country.
Havana - Embassy of Canada

For emergency assistance after hours, call the Embassy of Canada in Havana and follow the instructions. You may also call the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa at 613-996-8885 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. To call collect from Cuba, dial 012 to reach a local operator. Advise the operator that a recorded message will indicate that collect calls are accepted.

Thanks for helping!
Foxy's steakhouse is now situated just past Whispering Palms hotel 50 metres on your right. Best steaks in Candolim/Goa. Well worth a visit to sample this great cuisine. Staff are extremely helpful and enjoy the banter with customers.
We went to Foxys last year on numerous occasions, and enjoyed the steaks.
Returned last night after finding out he has moved to opposite Whispering palms, down a small track and was not disappointed, King Momo were as good as ever, and cooked to perfection.
Great meal, thanks guys.
For those who like continental food ,I can recommend this place it moved last season and now is in the lane at the side of Haveli just before turning to Nerul ,good steak and one of the best Greek salads
Our first and last night were spent in foxes candolim!! Our best restaurant in candolim and the best steaks in Goa!! Value for money!!
The meals were always1st class, the new location is tucked away, between the Magnum hotel and the Alberqueque, apartments, we had great steaks, but competition, is closing in, especially from workers from England who have found non-tourists, areas, with meals that are £2-3 pounds for a nice meal.I know a few , but i'll keep that to myself
When we where told by our hotel neighbours that Foxy's steaks would "knock spots off the Mermaid" we where in doubt as to his sanity..I have been recommending the Mermaids steaks for 6 years.That night we went to put Foxy's to the test.Boy did they pass with the proverbial flying colours.The king momo fillet steaks where the best i/we have...
We have eaten at Foxy's for several years at its previous location behind Fisherman's Cove. Once we discovered its new location just beyond Alberqueque, we went for our usual steak with mushroom sauce. The meal certainly was nothing like previous years and the steak was very tough. Perhaps it was a bad night, but the food was not a patch...
Foxy' restaurant is no longer on Highland Beach road ,but on Pheonix Park Road but the steaks are just as amazing. Good service and a lovely meal. Foxy is just as great as always and is still as passionate about food and good service. Also the stroganoff is lovely.
the chicken noodle soup and the steak was superb ....... it has shifted to a new place which is in a lane opposite to the health centre on the candolim calangute road. nest to haveli ......bon Apetit
Having been to Foxy's 6 years ago thought I would give it another try during my 2 weeks holiday to Goa. Again it was the best steak I've ever had, actually went three times. As with most eating places in India Foxy's is quite basic but the staff couldn't be more obliging and the food is excellent. I would highly...

WESTMINSTER—Sandy Nguyen points to her orchids and knows which ones her customers will purchase.
The Chinese and Vietnamese customers at this year's Flower Festival will likely choose bright yellow and red orchids. The red ones are simply happy. And the yellow ones are particularly favored for the New Year because they are gold-tone "and bring good luck," Nguyen said.
Asians tend to stay away from the white orchids because they associate them with funerals, said the owner of Tuyet's Orchids.
Friday was first day of the Flower Festival outside the Asian Garden Mall, a two-story shopping mecca for Vietnamese goods in Orange County's Little Saigon. The annual event is the kick-off to commemorate the Vietnamese Tet Festival, which will culminate with a parade Jan. 28 in Westminster and a weekend celebration at Garden Grove Park, from Jan. 27 to 29.
Within the first half-hour after opening up Friday morning, Belinda Nguyen was doing brisk business at her fruit stand. Customers scooped up handfuls of rambutan, a hairy-looking red tropical fruit, and dragon eyes, another tropical fruit.
Under another tent, Jacqueline Nguyen said she didn't expect much business these first few days. This is the time for looky-loos. The serious shoppers who want everything super-fresh buy closer to the actual Lunar New Year date, celebrated Jan 23-25 this year.
"The closer the new year, the more crowded it gets," Nguyen said shortly after unpacking a van full of live orchids, yellow mums and colorful silk roses with glitter-covered edges.
The Flower Festival is true to its name. Many of the outdoor stalls feature stunning flowers, especially orchids, as well as silk and plastic varieties.
But there also are many tents that feature a variety of Vietnamese and Chinese ornaments, trinkets and various assorted items to symbolize and celebrate the occasion with lucky symbols.
Tong Sing Hooi is happy it's the Year of the Dragon.
"I was born in the Year of the Monkey. Dragon is good for me. I have very bad luck with (Year of the) Tiger," he said while glancing at a collection of dragons he's selling in his stall.
For a youngster like Lily Truong, a sixth-grader from Santa Ana, the best part of the celebration is the money in the colorful envelopes she receives as gifts from her family. But the 12-year-old, visiting the Flower Festival with family and friends, got the deeper meaning too: "It's about being with your family and celebrating the New Year."
To Eddie Doan, the owner of Panda Imports and a vendor at the festival, it's all about family.
"My parents were boat people. To me, it's really important to stay in touch with our culture," said Doan, 30. "In Asia, this spring time is the only time some people get to visit their hometowns and see their families. It's a time to spend with family and friends."
And bringing along a gift, whether it's a pretty package of candies, a bright envelope with money or a stunning orchid, is a common tradition.
"In our country, orchids are expensive," so it's not a typical gift for most people, said Shelton Huynh. But here, it's a lovely and reasonably-priced present, he said. "You don't want to give your friend a Walmart flower for the New Year."

Additional profile information on Alfred Thompson at Google+
An interesting new report from Anita Borg Institute, CSTA and the University of Arizona called "Addressing Core Equity Issues in K-12 Computer Science Education: Identifying Barriers and Sharing Strategies shows that K-12 Computer Science education in the United States is in a state of crisis." The state of crisis is no surprise to anyone who is teaching K-12 computer science or who talks to K-12 computer science teachers regularly. Enrollment is dropping in K-12 CS even if it is showing some improvement in higher education. One has to wonder if the upward trend in higher education will continue if the K-12 trend continues down.
The problems are complex though and are resistant to simple strategies or single efforts. Appropriately the report suggests a number of actions. One of them directly impacts me.
Engage industry representatives with K-12 teachers to provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of the computational thinking skills that a diverse body of students needs to engage successfully in the workforce.
Engage industry representatives with K-12 teachers to provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of the computational thinking skills that a diverse body of students needs to engage successfully in the workforce.
It effects me because I am an industry representative. :-) In my current role I do spend a lot of time engaging with K-12 teachers. Recently I was at an advisory board meeting for the programming and web development program at a career technical high school where the main topic was what skills industry is looking for. I attend meetings like this at four different local career technical schools around Massachusetts and New Hampshire. These programs are vitally interested in talking to industry so that they can prepare students for future education and careers. Typically college prep programs are less interested. Not always of course but in general many college prep programs have their sights on what universities are looking for rather than industry.
To some degree that is ok. Most students, even from vocational/technical programs, are not going to get jobs right out of high school. But a few will. Most college students will also be looking for jobs in industry after graduation though. A lot of university programs are focused on creating graduate students rather than industry professionals and that can be a problem. Not that we don't need more graduate students in CS, we do, but that is not the default option for most college graduates. Somewhere along the way they need to learn skills that will get them a job. If for no other reason than that they can be a success and donate lots of money to the schools where they learned those skills. :-)
But actually I think the point should be that these computational thinking skills and other computer science concepts are needed across many fields and even in university and graduate programs. We have to understand that if industry and academia get too far apart both sides lose out.
The announcement of the report is at NEW REPORT FROM ANITA BORG INSTITUTE, CSTA AND UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ADDRESSES EQUITY ISSUES IN K-12 COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATIONS and the summary there is worth the read because it will get you interested in reading the whole report.

I spent much of yesterday working on a computer program. A friend of mine wrote it in Visual Basic .NET and I was converting it to C# so that it could be used as a sample solution. To save time (famous last words) I had run most of it through a conversion program. The conversion program had done a very good job but things were still not working. That was my fault of course. There were things missing which is pretty typical when one takes shortcuts. I should know better I guess. So what I was doing was trying to find what was missing so I could get a clean compile. I was pretty sure that was all I needed to do. So at one point early in the process I thought "one last bug and I'm all set." Wrong!
There were a couple of logical problems that were completely hidden by the "last bug" in the way of compiling. I ran into some problems of idiom. Visual Basic .NET and C# have a lot of things in common and they are both true OOP languages. It turns out that there are some differences. One of them I had dealt with manually. I'm so smart. More famous last words. My "fix" was off a little. I had changed an assignment that took advantage of how C# handles some conversions implicitly to an If statement. In my hurry I had only accounted for the "if true" case and ignored the "else if false" case. Whoops.
Most of my problems turned out to be problems of idiom. My friend is old school BASIC which means that a lot of his code assumes arrays start their index at 1. C# is all about indexes that start at 0. So I had a couple of off by one errors. Most of them because I hurriedly "corrected things" without first taking the time to understand what was going on. But it's all done now and it runs great.
It seems like some lessons have to be re-learned from time to time. One is make haste slowly. As the saying goes "hours of debugging can save minutes of planning." I'd have been a lot better off spending more time understanding the original program and planning the conversion. The shortcuts I took were not all bad but they came along with some shortcuts that cost me time in the long run. The other is beware the idiom. Learning a new programming language or as in this case translating/converting a program from one language to another means more than just one to one syntax changes. There are styles and best practices that are influences by variations in how the language does different things.
We used to say that "a good FORTRAN programmer can write a good FORTRAN program in any language." But in this day and age doing so is far from a good idea. We need to learn the differences in philosophy and the differences in how things that look alike may not perform alike. I think that having students learn more than one language is a great idea. In the long run the benefit is not learning different syntax but learning different ways of thinking about concepts. This is something that will help students learn the third language more easily. And they will have to learn a third language (and more) at some point if they are going to work any length of time in computer science. It may also help them become more aware of what they are doing and how others may interpret (or misinterpret) it. That's got to be a good thing.

Claim: Mitt Romney Fully Endorsed Arizona Immigration Law
False: President Obama claimed in the second debate that Romney once called Arizona's controversial immigration law S.B. 1070 "a model for the nation." In reality, Romney said he supported the state's E-Verify mandate, allowing employers to electronically verify a person's legal status, which was passed as part of a separate state law in 2007.

Porsche 968 Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Porsche 968 body kits are additional components that can be used to upgrade and rejuvenate a car's {exterior look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior parts on many cars starts to look worn and old. Any damage to a vehicle's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a vehicle's market value, making the use of bodykits is just that much more important. A bodykit can make a ride appear better, without changing any of the true mechanics of the car.
Most aftermarket Porsche 968 body kits upgrades include replacements for several exterior parts, front & back bumpers and side panels. These are the places of a car that are often damaged from daily driving, but these aren't the only pieces that could be easily replaced. Other custom body paneling can be used to upgrade a vehicle's appearance, so Porsche 968 body kits can often be special ordered to a car owner's specific needs. For an upgraded look that replaces the poor looks created from years of driving, a high quality body kits can serve you well.

Baseball may be a game, but don't let that fool you. Major League Baseball is a very big business and the stakes are very high. Public relations fuels a big part of league revenues and every team must be on its toes when it comes to crisis management. The Washington Nationals created a bit of a public relations crisis last week when they made the decision to prematurely end the season of their star pitcher Stephen Strasburg, one of the best young hurlers in the game. The Nationals had the best record in baseball, Strasburg was having a sensational season and the decision to shut him down (for potential) health reasons may have jeopardized the team's World Series championship hopes.

thats just great love the rear mech, almost as if it is window shopping.
Pretty realistic sizes compared to what I normally see BattleMechs sized at. Good work.

I know the proportions are technically right, but the mechs in this picture feel too small.

If someone would have asked, at the beginning of this season, to name the team that would be after 18th rounds on 7th place and the one that will be on 14th place for sure would have chosen the other way around as nobody would have seen this to happen with Bilbao.

Home side is not doing fine and despite managed to recover some of their old game in some matches their defensive remains their biggest problem as this team continues to allow way too many goals.

The guests are one of the teams that I like to bet to make high scoring matches because score and allow many goals and in 6 from 8 away matches at least 3 goals were present.

With home side defensive problems and the guest's defensive problems we should see both to score and more then 2.5 goals!

Picture: Paul McCartney and his son James McCartney attend the Linda McCartney Photographs - Private View at the James Hyman Gallery. London, England - 23.04.08
Sir Paul McCartney has teamed up with pop superstar Kylie Minogue for a duet that will air on British TV on New Year's Eve (31Dec07). The Australian singer joined the former Beatle as he performed hit song Dance Tonight on Thursday (13Dec07) while filming annual holiday programme Hootenanny, hosted by musician/TV presenter Jools Holland. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "MACca (MCCartney) snared Kylie before she was due to team up with (British talent show finalist) Leon Jackson. She looked very sexy in a flesh-coloured bandage style dress. "After her performance, which also included a stripped-down version of I Should Be So Lucky, Kylie sat at Sir Paul's table and watched the rest of the programme being made. MACca paid Kylie his full attention and they nattered (chatted) away like old pals." The 39-year-old will also duet with 18-year-old Jackson on the finale of reality contest The X Factor on Saturday (15Dec07).

Rupert: What a Jeremy Hunt!
Please login below to comment, OR simply register here :
Poster seen in East London:
The picture, of a younger, still hair-blessed and virilish Rupert M, has been plastered with a sticker that reads:
"What a Jeremy Hunt"
It refers to the U.K. Culture Secretary. According to the Washington Post, News International pushed Hunt to refer its bid for British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc to regulators. And it also refers to a famously stunning spoonerism by the BBC presenter James Naughtie (!) when he oops introduced the Culture Secretary as Jeremy Cunt, live on air. (It's fabulous: watch/hear; he slips, then coughs and half splutter/laughs.) The poster is a wicked grafittism, quite ungentlemanly, of course, and surely to be disdained from a great height, but it could be worse.
Also, as we all know, the Telegraph reported Elisabeth Murdoch "told friends that [NI CEO] Mrs Brooks had "f—- the company". Murdoch biographer, Michael Wolff, has twitted a correction as to its intrasibling nature:
Reports Elisabeth Murdoch said Rebekah Brooks "fucked the company" are incomplete. She said: "James and Rebekah fucked the company."
James as in Murdoch, so there.

Charlotte Green '11
Bates College sophomore Charlotte Green had such an outstanding meet last weekend against Connecticut College and Wellesley that she was named Division III Women's National Swimmer of the Week by CollegeSwimming.com, the leading swimming Web site in the country. It is the first time a Bates swimmer has claimed the prestigious award.
The Web site singled out Green (New Canaan, Conn.) for her singular performances at last weekend's tri-meet with Connecticut College and Wellesley College at Tarbell Pool, where she broke four pool records and set two school records. Her time of 51.58 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle was the third fastest in the country at the time, and automatically qualified her for her first trip to the NCAA Division III Championships, to be held at the University of Minnesota in March. Green also led off the 200 free relay in 24.26 seconds, another school record, personal best, and a national "B" cut time.
According to head coach Peter Casares, Green was mentioned first in the Web site's article because out of all the winners of the National Swimmer of the Week award for Feb. 2-8 (i.e., males and females from all three NCAA divisions), hers was deemed the most impressive of all.

Environment & Health
When China finally starts clamping down on smoking, even to the extent that they are monitoring their films and TV programs, that's a sign the entire world is that much closer to becoming smoke-free. Perhaps the Chinese should consider smoking cigars. I know that Famous Smoke Shop (http://www.famous-smoke.com), the mailorder company I buy my cigars, and many other stores in the States ship internationally.
This simply will not work. Any changes that will affect probably 40% male adults and 10% female adults in China will have to start at a much smaller scale.
Will this lead to a brown (tobacco spit colored) revolution?
The issue of smoking in China has many sides to it: First, the government receives much of its tax from cigarettes and so it is worthy to keep the situation as it is. Second, the Chinese people are used to smoking everywhere - it is like drinking water in a sense, so it will be very difficult to not only change this cultural habit but also to enforce this law, in restaurants and in other places.
At least one can wish smoke-free nicotine become cheaper.
All cigarettes are tobacco; not all tobacco is cigarettes.
Anyone remember how many "babies" were aborted or dumped in the streets with the one child experiments? If it IS true that smokers lose ten years off of their lives (given it is back to baby stage usually) nappies, baby cups, ect, it seems to me the smokers are doing the Country and the next generation a service!
How many millions of babies never had the chance of life?
Any ban on smoking would likely be enforced only against the common people, the people with no power. If some leader like Hu Jintao or Li Gang wants to smoke in a restaurant no one would dare to tell him he can't. This is how Chinese society usually works.
I live in China, and almost everyday I meet people smoking in the elevator. When I ask them to get rid of his burning cigarette, I am looked down as some kind of Martian who does not understand the "Chinese culture". Indeed, too often, "Chinese culture characteristics", is something that means disrespect for the rest of the human beings (fellow countrymen included). Just observe how bykers disrespect walkers, car drivers disrespect bykers, truck drivers disrespect cars, etc.
Anyone violating the ban should be fined 1000 Yuan. That will do it.
Will the law be observed at Zhongnanhai and the Great Hall of the "[well connected] People."?
I remember the CCP campaign to stop spitting in public..................................................has it worked?
Since 67 percent of the males in China smoke cigarettes, what are the chances that campaign will work as well based on the previous anti-spitting campaign?
Talking about enforcing an anti-smoking ban indoors is one thing.....................actually doing it is another!
A horse has for legs, therefore an animal with four legs is a horsie. Further more, human is not a horse because it has only tow legs. OODA loop is a horse.
Smokers should be executed along with dogs and dog owners, bankers, lawyers, media studies students, people thinking about becoming a media studies student, anyone studying a subject with 'media' in its title, car drivers, people with peasant minds, men who wear pink shirts with pink ties, everyone at hsbc and tony blair. This will immediately resolve the overpopulation issues facing the world today.
Tobacco is the new opium.
If China's anticorruption crusade is working so well in cleaning up the Communist party, why is Beijing worried that some think that the campaign is really just a struggle for political power?
A trio of recent repressive actions by the Chinese party-state illustrates how far Beijing is willing to go to snuff out dissent.
Many observers now wonder whether the recent hammering of China's stocks and currency will have political fallout for Communist Party leaders. Not likely, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
The economy may eclipse politics as a concern for Beijing in 2016, but in China the two are always closely intertwined. CRT analyst Russell Leigh Moses outlines three major political questions that will loom over China in the months to come.
The conviction -- and disbarment -- of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang sends a stern warning to other lawyers and to other citizens who speak out against Communist Party policy.

Pour into me
black coffee
that bittersweet liquid of pain
pour it like in storm sky pours rain.
Pour to ease the ache
that is my throat to overtake
as without my bitter drink
my mind is not to think.
Not properly at least
without that dark beast
of blackish brown grains
mashed until powder remains
with its magical taste of forbearance
for it brings peace and patience
for it helps to ease the stress
and relax, forgetting all that mess
for it is a cure for soul
a trickle in endless bowl
filled with emotions of joy and hope
which can only be sought, left to grope.
A coffee liquid of vigour and might,
the one to help you in your fight,
the one to make you last a day,
for without it you're just astray.
Someone without ability to follow
for any path seems so hollow
and impassable and unknown
obscure, dark and lone.
Without coffee life just is plain.
Who'd tell that such a small grain
could bring so much distaste and pain
if not taken it adds to strain.
Coffee is something that makes me feel great
It is my constant friend and trait.
Hope you like coffee too
because all I have said is true.
Coffee by theWitchofGrichWatch

Just a poem I thought of one morning when I had no coffee left and it was too early to go shopping. :/
An addict, yes, I am
Coffee is my everything ^^

This is a surprise development? Holiday package volume is up for U.P.S.? Soon, you will see a second man in the local U.P.S. delivery truck. However, these are seasonal help hired every year for the Holidays. What matter most is what happens to domestic package volume in January. Usually, it falls off. So, the question is: How much will domestic package volume and the economy fall off this Winter?
I believe these numbers show weakness at FedEx. Most assumed that UPS would follow FedEx and report that their volume declined also. In my opinion, these numbers show that things aren't as bad as some of us like to assume. We all know that volume falls off in January and this decline is already taken into context.
At the end of the third quarter, the company generated free cash flow of $3.6 billion and spent $1.6 billion. The company repurchased 18.5 million shares for approximately $1.4 million. Doesn't seem too bad.....
Will you so-called Wall Street prima donnas get off UPS's back and stop denegrating them every chance you get while, at the same time, boosting FDX to the max! It's so obvious that you just plain dislike UPS immensely and will grab any chance you get to give them a bad rating. It's dusgusting!!!

SINGAPORE, April 5 — Malaysia's palm oil stocks likely edged lower in March as production eased for the sixth straight month, a Reuters survey of five plantation companies showed today.
Inventory levels may have dropped 3.8 per cent in March to 2.35 million tonnes, marking the third monthly decline, to the lowest level seen since last September.
Stocks hit a record 2.63 million tonnes in December. Production most likely fell 1.2 per cent from a month ago to 1.28 million tonnes, as crude palm oil yields remained in a seasonal low cycle, although the decline is significantly smaller than a near one-fifth drop seen in February.
The drops in both output and inventories are expected to support palm oil futures prices, which have been stuck below RM2,600 (US$840) a tonne since October 2012 after staying well above that mark for almost two years.
Exports of the tropical oil probably eased 4 per cent from a month ago to 1.34 million tonnes in March.
Crude palm oil shipments fell after the implementation of an export tax of 4.5 per cent in March, up from no tax applied in February.
Despite inching lower, exports were still more than enough to offset production and imports for the month.
Imports of crude palm oil from top producer Indonesia are likely to have grown to 80,000 tonnes from 55,410 tonnes the month before, according to the poll.
Factors to watch
The benchmark third-month contract on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, which lost 0.8 per cent in March and 0.5 per cent so far in April, may gain support from the sinking stock levels.
The edible oil could rise to RM2,400 to RM2,700 per tonne by the end of May, as weaker production sped a fall in the stockpiles, said leading analyst Dorab Mistry.
Export demand might also pick up in coming months because of attractive prices and plentiful supplies compared with rival edible oils such as soyoil, Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World said early this week.
India's imports of palm oil could rise more than 17 per cent in the year to October 2013 to stand at 9 million tonnes, as the edible oil was the cheapest available, despite an import duty, the country's top importer of edible oils said.
Malaysia and Indonesia, the world's top palm oil producers, will keep their crude palm oil export tax rates for April at 4.5 and 10.5 per cent respectively, unchanged from March. — Reuters
