[quote=Wolfman]I spent a couple of weeks in Varadero and Havana a couple of years ago. Gorgeous place, nice people, and very poor except for the resorts. By far the best coffee and rum I have ever had. The food was very mediocre though. The did have catamarans for rent on the beach though! Hobies likely purchased from Europe or South America (where they get most of thier cars and buses from). Don't ask the locals about politics, they refuse to talk about it.
The average person seems to speak 2 or 3 languages besides Spanish. And on average they are extremely well educated. I met several engineers and doctors working at the resorts as bar tenders and tour guides, simply because the money from tips was so much better than the government wage.
Very interesting history, the political problems in Cuba started long before Castro was born and will likely continue long after he is gone. <!-- editby --><em>edited by: Wolfman, Apr 26, 2010 - 09:27 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
