Also, I would like clear something up about the way Cuba and, more importantly, Cubans are being made to look in this thread. Granted, almost all of it is self-inflicted. But I feel like it's important to say that on the whole, the people of Cuba are the kindest and most generous people I have ever met in any country. Most have very little, but they want to share whatever they have with you. They are extremely friendly, to each other and to visitors. The island itself is one of the most unique places on the planet. It would be a huge mistake to judge the people of Cuba based on the behavior of a handful of them in this thread. There is horrific poverty there, yet it is an island overflowing with riches much more important than money: La Gente!
