A Cuban showed the change he experienced in transportation since moving to the United States.

In a short clip shared on the social network TikTok, the Cuban Amado Caballero (@amado.caballero3) showed the transition from his horse-drawn cart in a rural area of Cuba to a modern car in Houston, Texas.

"60 years my car in Cuba and in nine months my car in the USA," he joked to highlight the transformation, which is not only visible in the means of transport but also in physical appearance.

Its publication received mixed opinions in the comments section, where many users pointed out that a car in the United States is not a luxury, but a necessity.

"Here, a car is like a bicycle in Cuba," commented a user who accompanied their statement with laughing emoticons.

"You are very right, just remember that not everyone in Cuba has a cart and a horse. Here in the USA, a car is not a luxury, it's a necessity," warned another user.

Other internet users supported her post.

"I also used to ride horses, and three months after arriving here, I bought my first little car, congratulations brother," remarked a person.

"Those cars here in the USA don’t have to be paid for over 30 years; here they're big, you buy them for 4 or 5 thousand dollars. Congratulations, brother, and you're right, there’s no possibility of that over there," noted another user.
