[Suburban resort area, Bugios]
Bugios, a city about 3 hours drive from Rio.
It is one of Brazil's leading resorts and is ranked in the top 5 cities in Brazil visited by foreign tourists.
It wasn't very familiar to Japanese customers, but due to the influence of the corona, it has gained a lot of attention, and people living in São Paulo are coming to visit.
As a measure against corona, Bugios issues a QR code issued by the accommodation and tour company to tourists in advance and checks it at the entrance of the city to prevent it from becoming unnecessarily dense.
How about working away from the hustle and bustle of the city while relaxing on a beautiful beach?

The other day, the Havana Club Rum Museum in the Old Town has reopened. The building had been renovated before the spread of corona infection, but this time it has also been completed and reopened.
Rum made from sugar cane is famous as a Cuban specialty, but Havana Club is a leading brand sold all over the world. The Havana Club-produced rum museum, with its small but elaborate models and physical exhibits, is also worth seeing.
At the end of the tour, Havana Club 7 years tasting included!

¡ Feliz Año Nuevo!
Happy new year.
This year's Cuba will change from the beginning of the year!
Until now, there were two currencies in Cuba, but the CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso), which was mainly used by tourists, will be abolished, and only CUP (Cuban Peso) will be distributed. Therefore, if you exchange foreign currency after arriving in Cuba, you will be handed this CUP. Maybe you can easily get 3 peso banknotes and coins with the portrait of Che Guevara, which was hard to get until now. !!

In addition, from January 10th, all immigrants will be required to submit a negative certificate of PCR test conducted within 72 hours before arrival in Cuba at a medical institution recognized in the country of departure at the time of entry. I decided to take it.
Since various other measures that have been implemented since the airport reopened on November 15th will continue to be implemented, PCR tests will be conducted even when entering Cuba, and refrain from going out until the test results are available (within 48 hours). It is necessary to follow infection prevention measures such as.

At this time of year, the number of tourists from overseas increases rapidly and the area around the old town becomes very lively, but this year, tourists are conspicuously lining up at the shops to shop. The appearance of is very few. Still, I think the number is increasing little by little.
