In the video, Cubans take great care to wrap their suitcases in plastic, while the text on the screen reads: "When you're going to Cuba and you don't make this little stop where you live."

This phrase, which refers to the habit of Cubans to safeguard their belongings before traveling, resonated with users, who quickly shared their own anecdotes and reactions.

"That's nothing; I brought my things in bags and packed my suitcases at the airport because I didn't have a scale," commented a user, empathizing with the situation.

Another person added, "We couldn't care less whether it's 8 or 88," reflecting the nonchalance with which many Cubans approach the most unexpected situations. There was also someone who recalled a similar experience in another country, saying, "I did the same thing in Venezuela."

The video has amassed thousands of views and has been widely shared, with comments highlighting the ingenuity and creativity of Cubans when it comes to overcoming any inconvenience, even if it means wrapping luggage in the middle of the airport.
