Locals pester you for every dollar, you get ripped off everywhere you go. Food is terrible due to the shortages and very expensive.
Women are not attractive, many of them obese due to a poor diet high in fats.
Lots of very bad looking prostitutes everywhere. A lot of families send their daughters out to work on the game and bring in money. This is very common in Cuba.
Also lots of eurotrash Jozef Fritzl lookalikes walking around with young boys... Paedophilia tourism is rife there but widely ignored.
The architecture is stunning though, despite every building being close to collapse. Some of the beaches are also very nice.
If that is communism, then we should thank God every day that we live in a capitalist system.
God wouldn't want to be associated with the Capitalist system, so thank the devil instead!
Wingnut, are we now to start condemning every poor country in the world because we have smugly creamed the best from the World's resources?
Well, Cuba may be poor, but they have good principles on equality and we should nurture that positive ideal. Cyprus has wealth, and it is here to give Cuba a lift. We are humanitarian and the quicker the Turks stop draining our finances and country, the more time and money we can spend improving the rest of our sister societies.
BTW ... I hear Gordon Brown is going to build state-run, live-in institutions for those >20,000 per year teenagers who have unwanted babies so that he can start moralising them out of this extreme reversal of fortunes Capitalism seems to have reached!
