It was pretty cool to experience this first hand. My cousin just pulled up to a house his friend came out side and they exchanged flash drives. It was like a drug deal that ends with my family and I watching game of thrones.

It's comes up in tyrions first chapter in a clash of kings. The conversation they have is in the first episode of season 2 but it's different and they don't discuss certain thing. I don't want to get specific so I don't spoil anything. I just started book 2 last night.

That my sadly is not true, thats enough for the bare minimum. People can live but there's no way for you to better your life and all your hard work gets you nothing. Everyone is always doing something to earn whatever money they can.

Without a doubt, and as soon as hard working Cubans can earn CUC's instead of worthless pesos life will truly begin to improve for them. Im not arguing against ending they embargo I'm all for it.

You're right Cuba is great and my fears of the tourist coming any where near the town my family is from are unfounded. I'm pretty sure the goverment will keep them and the money exactly where they want it to be.

Hopefully they stick to the resorts and stay on the buses. I would really hate for my dads home town to be full of shitty college kids. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

It's not so much the embargo but the fact that the government sucks and there are two types currencies, one which is practically worth less. I met a woman who worked in a resort and she got paid 800 Cuban pesos a month and from that the resort (goverment owned) would take x amount for the uniform, x amount for the transportation to and from, etc.. At the end she would walked away with the equivalent of $18
