But don't worry, they won't stamp your passport in Cuba. |
Err, from what I have heard from people I know who have visited Cuba it is a very beautiful place. The problem is that tourist are only allowed in certain areas of the country. These areas have been doen up nice and pretty by Fidel to give off a sort of illusion.
Although I consider myself left wing as most of my views are I can never fully agree witha dictator runed Communist party(even though that doesn't make any real sense). I like the direction that China is starting to take and I hope it works out for them. That would probably be the best example for Cuba. They can be a very socialist state but still allow limited amounts of Capitalism.
However I'd love to see Cuba come up with the cure to A.I.D.S. That would be freaken hilarious. I wonder what the U.S. would do then????
