(Numerous great tips on trips)
(Kangnam, Lee Taegon)
(Kim Taehun, Lee Wonseok)
Travel is war.
Battle Trip!
Continuing on from last week,
it's the Chuseok long holiday special.
A trip to Latin America. We're with our planners.
Last week, we ended with the vote.
- But we don't know the results yet. / - That's right.
We're joined by 100 judges in the audience
who are great actors.
Welcome.
Do you think you'll be able to win?
Regardless of whether we'll be able to win or not,
it's really a trip you can look forward to.
Because you'll be able to see things
you've never seen before.
Mexico had things we've never seen before too.
To be honest, Cancun was really nice.
But it felt no different to
the Philippines
or Indonesia.
I don't think it felt any different
compared to those countries.
Indonesia's a great place too.
I'm not trying to attack you guys
but let me say something to root for our team.
Of course, it's been 15 years since I've visited Cuba.
But when I went there, it truly felt exotic.
You know how people use the word "exotic?"
Sikyung, you'll be really surprised
when you see our trip to Cuba.
- Because... / - Has it changed a lot?
It still looks the same as 15 years ago.
Exactly.
- What the? / - Isn't that a bad thing?
- Because... / - No, this is really important.
Cuba is known to be a place where time has stopped.
Starting from 1950 or even before that,
it seems as though time has stopped completely.
It's a very weird but interesting country.
And let me tell you this.
Wherever we go, we imagine what
that country would be like.
But Cuba...
Shows you much more.
You'll be able to see things you've never seen before.
- Are you telling the truth? / - Yes.
You need to be telling the truth.
When we think of Cuba, we think of many things.
We think about books we read when we were students,
a famous figure,
or a certain kind of alcohol you like.
I thought deeply about it and I found out that
everything connects to Cuba.
So sometimes,
I even thought I might actually be from Cuba.
People could feel a bit distant and unfamiliar with Cuba.
Let me ask.
What comes to mind when you think of Cuba?
Street music.
- Street music. / - Yes, that exists.
- Hemingway. / - Hemingway.
Do you all know "The Old Man and the Sea?"
- Yes, of course. / - It even won a Nobel prize.
The background of that storyline is in Cuba.
Right.
Hemingway loved Cuba so much
that he always wanted to live there.
But he got deported when Cuba and the U.S. cut ties.
And not so long after that...
- He killed himself. / - This is like a documentary.
That's how much...
I'm sorry, but this feels like an educational show.
- Seriously. / - But it's nice.
They're too immersed.
He liked Cuba more than his own hometown.
And you might wonder if Cubans know Korea.
Cuba is known for their amateur baseball league.
- That's right. / - When we revealed our nationality...
They recognized Korea's achievements
in baseball during the Olympics and the WBC.
- They welcomed us. / - They love baseball.
With everything aside,
the lobsters there are so cheap.
I love these kinds of things.
- Lobsters are cheap. / - They're everywhere.
- Don't need anything else. / - Those are good sides.
But I'm sure there are uncomfortable things
about Cuba too.
To get to Cancun, you need to go to Mexico City first.
The same goes for Cuba.
But when you do, you need to buy a visa there.
Gosh, I don't want to go.
I think it costs a bit less than $20.
- It's about $18 for the visa. / - You can just buy it.
And another thing is that,
Cuba doesn't have good Wi-Fi.
Gosh, I don't want to go.
- It's the worst. / - I have to text my mom.
There are places that have the Wi-Fi mark.
Let's say there's the mark beside the fountain.
You need to buy a card and use it next to the fountain.
- My gosh. / - It really doesn't work well.
- My mom needs to call me. / - But...
I like how they're reacting to this
because from what I remember,
going to Cuba felt like a real trip.
- It's a very exotic country. / - It's very different.
But there's one thing that worries me.
In Mexico, you need to eat tacos. But to be honest,
I don't think Cuba is known for a dish.
- They don't have a staple dish. / - No, they don't.
- But they have lobsters. / - They have cheap lobsters.
- The lobsters are cheap. / - I heard they raise lobsters.
Taehun,
did you say they use two kinds of currencies?
Cuba is a communist country
and there are two kinds of currencies.
- My gosh. / - There's one for...
Tourists called CUC.
Then, there's one for the people of Cuba called CUP.
It's their national currency.
But it doesn't matter because you'll be able to use CUC
almost anywhere where there are a lot of tourists.
Many people change their money before they leave.
But because Cuba has bad relations with the U.S.,
the exchange rate isn't that good.
- They do that on purpose. / - So before you leave...
You should exchange to Canadian dollars or euros.
That's great information.
- Then change in Cuba. / - Canadian dollars are better.
Canadian dollars.
Regardless of who wins,
my dad used to be a captain.
So he went to almost everywhere in the world.
I asked him this question once.
"Dad, where was the best place you ever went to?"
And he said it was Cuba without even hesitating.
- We won. / - We won.
- Why would you say that? / - Thank you.
- But... / - Seriously. Thank you so much.
- I'm sure this will get aired. / - We did it.
- We're done. / - How can you say that?
- You keep going back and forth. / - We have to play...
Fair and square.
I'm going to refrain from talking too much.
Because seeing is better than thousands of words.
You've been refraining?
- You've said everything. / - You don't know me.
What are some highlights of the trip to Cuba?
The focus.
We divided our trip into three parts.
First, we wanted to see the history of Cuba.
Next, the nature and outdoor activities.
Lastly, we wanted to view Cuba's famous movie sites.
So many famous movies were shot in Cuba.
Let me tell you one more thing.
Do you remember the famous line from "Inside Men?"
"Inside Men."
"Let's go to Mojito and drink the Maldives."
"Let's go to Mojito and drink the Maldives."
So people think mojito comes from the Maldives.
- But it's actually from Cuba. / - It's from Cuba.
- Really? It's from Cuba? / - It's from Cuba?
Then I guess it's a match between tequila and mojito.
- Mojito tastes great. / - It's soccer against baseball.
Tequila against mojito.
I thought this would be a sightseeing trip
but it really felt like an alcohol trip.
We started drinking from 10 a.m.
- Nice. / - Let's begin.
Let's begin watching the first half of their trip...
- To Cuba. / - This looks fun.
If we lose, it's because of you. If we win, it's me.
Do we get something if we win?
If we win, you'll be given more chances to earn money.
(Laughing)
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Taehun, the unforgettable trip designer.
He really did great when he went to Vietnam.
Hello, I'm Lee Wonseok and I'm a movie director.
You kind of look like Park Hwisun there.
I'll tell you how I got to know this guy.
I think it was around 10 years ago.
A guy with weird clothes and
sunglasses suddenly came to me.
I had written a column about love.
That's right.
And he said he wanted to use that for his movie.
"How to Use Guys with Secret Tips."
That movie played a big part
in making Wonseok famous.
He may be wearing a funny shirt but he's a director.
This movie was funny.
It was funny.
(He even directed "The Royal Tailor")
Where are we going anyway?
You'll be going to Latin America.
Latin America? You're talking about this area.
There are many countries here including Mexico,
Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia.
I want to visit Uruguay too.
Cuba. We have to go to Cuba.
We can always go to all the other countries.
But you never know
when Cuba will be banned from traveling again.
Barack Obama visited Cuba in 2014
and made things better.
But it feels like Trump might do the opposite again.
- That's possible. / - We must go there while we can.
You went to a very precious place.
(Cuba is the biggest island in the Caribbean Sea)
They don't live a digital lifestyle.
Their lifestyle is more analog.
The color of the buildings are so beautiful.
- They're so pretty. / - They're so vintage.
- Look at the colors. / - So pretty.
It's thanks to the sun.
I've never seen anything like that in my life.
It's one of the strongest communist countries.
They're poor but they're not servile
because they don't lack much.
The U.S. banned Cuba from trading
with other countries.
They have to be self-sufficient.
That's why they don't have any industrial products.
They always sing and dance.
- Everyone's always dancing. / - They always smile?
And when a sad song comes out, they all start to cry.
I'm serious. I was so surprised.
They're very sensitive.
I'm sure we have different thoughts about Cuba.
So let's write down what comes to our minds
and what we'd like to do.
Let's see.
(What comes to Taehun's mind with Cuba?)
(Hemingway, Jose Marti, Che Guevara)
(They are historical figures of Cuba)
(What comes to Wonseok's mind with Cuba?)
("The Fate of the Furious," "The Godfather 2")
("Buena Vista Social Club")
They're all movies.
That's Al Pacino, right?
Che Guevara added many offices.
It's called the Hemingway tour.
The father of Cuban independence.
A poet named Jose Marti.
Cuba is famous for movies.
I will lead you today.
- Look at that car. / - It's so pretty.
That car is so pretty.
This was in "The Fate of the Furious."
- My bucket list of movies. / - I'm excited.
- I'm so envious. / - It looks so fun.
Those who are planning to go to Cuba
must watch this episode.
Is this your luggage bag?
Yes. I brought kimchi, cup instant noodles and rice.
People might think you're moving abroad or something.
Why did you bring so much?
I thought I packed really light.
You're really incredible.
From the look of your outfit, you seem like a foreigner.
But it's actually really nice to have a friend like that.
You might criticize them at first but...
You're right. You end up thanking them later on.
- Cuba Libre. / - Cuba Libre.
That was so awkward.
We're not that close. We just met for this trip.
We'll get close there.
Cuba was part of the Spanish Empire.
So there are many people who still use Spanish.
Many countries in Latin America still use Spanish.
Did you study Spanish?
- Hello in Spanish is "hola." / - Hola.
- Hola. / - Hola.
- Gracias. / - Gracias.
- What about "It's expensive?" / - That's...
- Muy caro. / - Muy caro.
I need to say it with expression. Muy caro.
- Muy caro. / - Muy caro.
That's all we need to know.
"Muy caro" is all we need to know.
Thank you.
- It's Italian... / - Yes, it's spaghetti.
It's pasta.
(Let's eat a lot since we still have a long way to go)
It's delicious.
Muy bien. Muy bien.
- Muy caro. / - Caro.
Muy caro. You need to sound emotional. Muy caro!
Discount! Discount!
You're starting to embarrass me.
- They look so happy. / - It took 14.5 hours.
We are finally in Mexico.
What you see right ahead of you
is where you buy your visas prior to entering Cuba.
It costs about $18 if you buy it here.
- You must know this. / - That's why they're lined up.
Okay, now. We bought our visas.
This is what it looks like.
Apparently, you need to have
two stamp marks like this.
If you buy it in Korea,
you might get just one stamp mark.
It needs to have two stamp marks.
We need to fill in this visa now.
But if we make a mistake while writing this,
we need to buy another one.
- They're so cold-hearted. / - A single mistake...
My goodness.
- That costs another $20? / - You'd get so nervous.
They should write it in pencil before using a pen.
You don't want to lose another $20.
