OP
That makes total sense! Thank you for sharing your perspective. A friend of mine (from the same country) somehow managed to spend a month in Cuba living with a local family, I'm not sure what legal or less than legal stuff he did to make it happen. It's indeed quite a bit different in the other Communist countries, where tourism dollars do find their ways to benefit local communities. Our problems have more to do with censorship and the lack of freedom of expression. It's a huge shame our countries still have a long way to go. I hope things will improve in Cuba and you'll be able to visit your homeland one day not too far away.
