Hey, Steemers. As many of you know, my husband 
For the past few months, we've been living in a nice, peaceful, gated neighborhood just a couple of blocks away from my sister. Filipinos love being close to family and, incidentally, so do Cubans. Hence,
Generally, we're happy, but now, we want to move to another province, close to other family members of mine. Why? Well, we're having some major problems with the people who stay out back in a makeshift shack. After seeing the pictures below, hopefully you'll have a problem with them as well.

Salamat po (thank you)!
