Using humor, a Cuban resident in Cape Coral, Florida, has caused a stir on social media after posting a TikTok video in which she jokes about the tranquility of her community and expresses her desire to move to Hialeah, known as "The City That Progresses" and the epicenter of Cuban culture in the United States.
In the video, the Cuban remarks, with a blend of mischief and nostalgia: "No way, today I'm heading to Hialeah, because I don't like this place. It's 7 in the morning and there's not a soul on the street. I can't see anyone. No way, nobody wakes up here with La Charanga Habanera, there’s no music playing, no gossip."
The TikTok user, identified as @noeliafreire4, humorously describes how she misses the lively social atmosphere typical of Hialeah, a city renowned for its hustle and bustle, gossip, and vibrant community life.
"There's always a jar stuck, some neighbors fighting, there's always something. No way, there's so much boredom here, people don't like gossip, it's such a desolation," she says in the video, generating thousands of laughs and comments from people who relate to her words.
Cape Coral, known for its tranquility and relaxed lifestyle, stands in stark contrast to Hialeah, a vibrant place where the sounds of Cuban music, neighborhood gatherings, and the most colorful anecdotes are part of daily life.
The video, which has already garnered thousands of views and reactions, highlights the cultural and lifestyle differences within the Cuban community in the United States, and how humor becomes a tool to express nostalgia and adapt to new realities.
