Here are four from our recent trip to Cuba. Many people use the phones in Havana that line the shaded outside walls of buildings. My favourite are the blue half cocnut shaped covers. They have bright yellow tourist taxis, called coca taxis, with a similar shape. I have also included a shot of a detail of the outside of the government telecom building in the streets behind the Capitole. As with most of the capital – the building was lovely but in dire need of a clean. This is a city melting with lazy decrepitude. It could be one of the most beautiful cities in the world if only the buildings were restored and the streets cleaned up.

Not sure about this one
A friend sent me this after she returned from a tour of the Silk Road some years ago.

Matthew took these on a business trip. The first is at Hibiya Park. In the second the green box would be used just for domestic calls and the gray for international, although now they’re usable for both.
