The particularity of this occasion is that they not only note your identification, but they also take a photo of the document and a photo of you with the bicycle—too many details for my.
However, as you mentioned, it's something normal in these businesses, and although I understand (they're protecting their business), I don't feel comfortable with my identification being on someone else's phone.
You know it’s a pleasure to read you; I’ve missed you around here. I hope everything is well over there, and I’m really glad to hear from you, my friend
I am not comfortable with identifications either, my with the whole arsenal of social control that States possess (laws, technology, indoctrination, censorship and propaganda). As you may have understood, I only wanted to show that it is not a particularity only of Cuba.
For the rest, I still have little time and I believe that in a few months it will be the same. But I will continue here, at my own pace.
A hug 🤗.
