that's why you won't get a stamp in your passport :)
I understand you have 'some' experience with communist countries, I'm just a bit tired with the cuba bashing. My grandfather visited cuba just after the revolution and a year ago i decided to follow in his footsteps. I was quite sceptical, which i still am, because I wrote some essays and did some research on cuba before I went. To my surprise the country seemed to be much less restricting than i had expected. My dad on the other hand visited both Cuba and the former sovietunion (not sure which countries, could make a difference of course) and hise was even more surprised, he told me the difference in atmosphere was like black and white.
I think Castro and the rovolution actually did a lot of good things for Cuba, but maybe it's time to move on, I'm just scared for the cuban people, i have a feeling they might lose a lot when castro dies and more foreign companies and governments are going to influence the country
BUT GO TO CUBA, beautiful country, friendliest people on earth (funny enough the second friendliest people I've met were texans :)
I noticed you take pictures, another reason to visit cuba. to bad it's so damn hot.
and you'll get a chance to rethink all your political beliefs (at least i did)
