I am amused when Chantel says she likes Cuban food, or Cuba is too third world for ATMs, or the culture is so interesting-when she hasn’t left her off-site 4th grade Canadian summer camp location. Now she’s going to consider herself a world traveler, when all she saw was a one star resort she never left, a few dusty palm trees in the dirt, and food designed for Canadians. I’ll give her the ocean but that’s it. I know that the real Cuba is mostly off-limits to tourists, but a night in Havana, a taxi ride in a 50s car, having a drink in a real bar, maybe a museum would give her actual travel experience, at least a taste of what most people get when in Cuba. I imagine others in that resort are doing those things.
I also am amused thinking of the other guests viewing her. I’ve no idea why you’d go to a place like that and Chantel hasn’t shown me, (there must be more than what she’s doing, she mentioned excursions) but the idea of her daily routine being breakfast in the buffet, talking to her phone animatedly, lunch in the buffet, talking to her phone, dinner… likely with all the same people watching her, and the guests at night nearby in undoubtably thin walls listening to her STILL on her phone, only now raging, is hilarious. I guarantee she’s going to be a topic of conversation back home, and maybe some surreptitiously taken photos too.
I’m sure they all now understand she’s loco. She assumes they think shes a famous YouTuber showing Cuba to her fans but by now they understand she shows nothing- she’s nervous, lonely, and nutty. If she’d put her phone down she might have made a friend or two, like Dennis or maybe some other middle aged woman. On vacation, people can ignore some social awkwardness and excessive giggling. But her constant talking to people she calls Plain Cheeseburgers or Sofa King is a big sign saying STAY AWAY and I’M CRAZY.
I haven’t been able to watch today so her credit card thing has me confused. I thought she’d been using it all along. Did she just have large bill cash on her that she was changing and using for tips? Now she’s going to have to budget what’s left? Does anybody know what’s really going on?
As for Nader and DeeDee, I gather the jail was a prank with the point of telling people not to believe what they hear online. And like a child, DD doesn’t know when to end a joke so is now “kicking Nader out.” We ought to stick this cast onto a trailer park and call it Trailer Park Beezers. Bubbles can stay in the shed with his cats.
