How life is

Day 378, Cuba, Santa Clara

A Cuban gets educated for free in superb universities. Therefore you can meet many people with various university degrees. Your potential may not be used in the low economy of Cuba. Your work for the state generates so little money that you can't live from it. But, you are not allowed not to work. You don't look for a job in relation with what you will earn. The most important question here is what benefits can I get from my job? Can I have access to internet, use the phone, take food or material home so that I can resell them in the black market? Every Cuban walks has his home equipped with stuff that is not available in Cuba. People are very social and help each other out. A Cuban tries to get married to a foreigner, leaves the island and sends money to his family or friends. TheCuban system doesn't work since the end of the Soviets, everyone knows it, but everyone keeps going and laughs about it. A Cuban is like a dolphin that has the water up to his neck but keeps on smiling. What a Salsa!
