My visit to Miami Florida
August 17th, 2007I am here in Miami, Florida for a brief visit which is mostly work related vs a vacation. It’s a good thing because I will never choose to come to Miami, Florida for a vacation. In fact, you could not PAY me to take a vacation here that is how much it sickens me.
Day one - I was to meet with a Comcast technician to get Internet and TV installed in my client’s new apartment while their home is being built in Coral Gables. Well - good thing my client’s wife knows SPANISH because the Comcast installer does NOT KNOW ENGLISH. This is not Mexico or Cuba - this is the US - and Comcast customers apparently need to speak Spanish to have Comcast cable installed in their home.
It seems everywhere I turn, the language being spoken is Spanish. You hear it in stores - even the clerks speak to customers in Spanish FIRST unless they see you are one of those “touristas”.. it is JUST like being in another country but the grim reality is - it is NOT another country - it is OUR country and it has in fact been taken over in South Florida by Cubans for the most part.
Outside of the ritzy areas like Coconut Grove and Coral Gables, you see the dilapidated homes and on practically every corner is a “Cuban Cafe” whatever that means. I drove around “Little Havana” during the day (I would never want to venture here at night) and you would not believe the numbers of businesses advertising “Immigration Services” - even a Doctor’s office. You can get a flu shot and help with “immigration” all in one stop! What does THAT remind you of? Yep - a third world country!
I even came upon a day labor site in Little Havana. It stood out because of the loitering Hispanic men grouped under a lone shade tree surrounded by overflowing garbage cans and a hand scrawled sign in Spanish advertising laborers. I got video of this and Little Havana which I will upload soon.
Another distinguishing trait of the area is the fact that practically every woman walking around has cleavage hanging out like some cheap billboard - oozing sex even at the CVS store. Apparently that is a “Latin culture” thing and it is another quality that proves how much South Florida resembles a Latin American country more than an American state.
Bottom line is - away from tourist areas such as where I am in Miami Beach - the Miami area is a city of contrasts. Rich people have little compounds within the walls of this overtaken city and outside of those “compounds” it is very much a third world country. Miami is overcrowded - a trait that seems to suit the illegal alien invaders just fine since they are used to that in their home countries. There is no parking to be found in the downtown area or even the beach area for that matter. You spend a great deal of time figuring out where to park. It’s pretty much like NYC in that regard.
More later. I am here until Sunday. I hope to play some volleyball on the beach.. I hope I don’t need to know Spanish to do that..
