It could be Dixie. Before my trip to Cuba I thought that Cuba has a perfect society, but when I visited the island I change my mind. I see that all people go to school or work every morning and take the breakfast there, but at home they are poor.
All the economy is concentrated in the Estate´s hands, noody could work by himself and get money from a free way.
One day in a beach a man try to sell me some clips for my hair, they was made by Carey. When I try to see the clips, the man act as if we were seen by the police, he explain me that it was prohibited to seel the productos to tourist, he could be punished. I understan and bought the things.
In the same way I bought some other productos.
People at Cuba use to change the productos that the Estate give them to survive: coffe, etc by things the tourist use to use, like soap, shampoo, etc.
I don´tknow what will be better to cubans, live in a free country, I mean without any dictator, or return to a politic model like the model they have with the last president Batista, where Cuba was a paradise to gansgters and people suffer the same poorness.
Democracy, like in all latinamerican countries is a dream any country have got.
