Most comments say nothing will change, they've been performing this transition of power for two years and it goes smoother than anyone had expected. Only Fidel (or his ghost) is in charge from the back seat now. It was a well played move, his death will not have such strong impact. Or, the overdue announcement of his death, whenever they decide to arrange it.
Cuba is a wonderful and sad place. Everywhere in la Habana beneath the ruins that the city is you can see its crushed beauty. It's unbelievable, what the system did to it. Looks like a war or a tornado went through it, which is quite accurate actually.
The only truly happy faces I saw there were children. Then when you are a teenager you start to realise how things are..
I know I am biased and get emotional when the topic of Cuba comes about. I'd spent my childhood under a regime that was "brotherly" to Cuba at the time.
