Very interesting, especially the section "A day without black market".

The only thing that keeps cuban's head half a millimeter above water is the underground economy, tips, gifts from foreigners and the exchange of goods.

It doesn't strike me as genuine, another bit of Miami propaganda?

However it's still interesting so thanks for posting it, it's been a long time since we have had a Cuban entry on this forum devoted to Colombia (and Columbia wherever that is).

I intend to write about my recent holiday in Thailand when I have time, the precis being don't bother stick with Latin America.

It's not genuine... beware the pending Paypal button.

The internet connection from Cuba is painfully slow and expensive. I tried once and lost my patience.

While this doesn't appear to be this Blogger's Case, I have absolutely NO sysmpathy for the MIAMI Cubans. If they had stayed and fought for their island's Freedom, they would be free today! Instead they cut and ran to Miami, giving their Island to castro. Better to Die fighting for your Country then Die while fleeing from your country as happens to many of those do who hop on those overloaded fast boats.If its anyone remotely related to a Miami Cuban Business deal, its a scam,,,They just sent 19 Cubans back today whose Miami Familiy's payed $10,000 to get them here, also Illegal, abetting and aiding Immigrant Smugglers,,,

Most likely they would be free today if the stupid U.S. Govt. would have lifted the embargo 40 years ago.....that has to a large degree enabled Castro to hold power.......and the dumb ass Miami Cubans are responsible for that....but then they are mostly Bautistas anyway.......corrupt criminals!!!

never go to bed with someone crazier then you are, you will do it and you will regret it.......
