Santa Clara - Che's city

Cuban home is loaded with decorative things. Weve now been a part home, and it is the same everywhere. They love, love porcelain figurines, plastikure, flowers and photo frames. The more porcelain figurines on a table the better. All have also minst four rocking chairs below: o) People live very openly. This means that windows and doors are left open due to heat. To avoid uninvited guests, they have meticulously twisted grille for windows and doors. We now live with a family in Santa Clara, where the man can speak a little English, it gives us a good opportunity to ask a little about conditions in Cuba. The man in the house whispers: "I do not like Castro." But its not something you say high in this country. He likes the idea that everyone can get an education and free access to the hospital. Cubas population has a relatively high education compared with other countries in Mellemamerika.Men it is not stimulating or motivating to earn 13 CUC per. months no matter what position you deny. A doctor and a schoolteacher serving the same - 13 CUC per. months. No one can live on, so you often see that doctors working in the evenings as a waiter in restaurants and hotels to earn something extra. We asked: "What happens when Fidel Castro dies?" The man laughed aloud, as all tourists ask about this. We know not whether Fidel is already dead, since he has not been seen in a long time. He has handed over power to his brother Raul Castro. But Cubans are waiting like the change. The man in the house does not have a bid on what will happen, but looking forward to it. Cubans can only go abroad if they are invited. When they receive an invitation, for approval by governments clear, which then determines whether you get an exit permit. Since Raul took power, he lifted some restrictions. Today, Cubans like owning mobile phones and they have free access to the excellent beaches with fine hotels. The problem is that there is incredibly difficult to afford anything of it when you only earn 13 CUC a month. In the evening, we went out to get a few Mojitos at local bars. There is only one problem...that is that after some time, they have so little money, they want us to buy beers for them .....
