I've heard they are cheap, specially to tip. BTW, I've experienced that cubans when not obsessed by money per se, are always looking for the cheapest or maximal bargain, and will do everything to get the major benefit in any kind of transaction, buy, offer, etc.

Indian cheap > Jewish cheap, imo. They buy nice homes, drive nice cars; basically to show that they're wealthy. But when it comes to anything service-related or when purchasing regular/everyday items (non-designer items), they switch back to third-world mentality (which can be beneficial from a business perspective, but still leave a bad rep). Those suckers can be sitting on millions but will still try to stretch a penny (make it do tricks, stunts and everything).
