Cuba Travel Doc – Part 03
The Republic of Cuba consists of the island of Cuba (the largest and second-most populous island of the Greater Antilles), Isla de la Juventud and several adjacent small islands. Cuba is located in the northern Caribbean at the confluence of the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Cuba is south of the eastern United States and The Bahamas, west of the Turks and Caicos Islands and Haiti and east of Mexico. The Cayman Islands and Jamaica are to the south. The national flower is Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig, most often known as “flor de mariposa” (Butterfly Flower) and the national bird is “Tocororo” or Cuban Trogon from the family of Trogonidae.[8]
Cuba is the most populous insular nation in the Caribbean. Its people, culture and customs draw from several sources including the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples, the period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves, and its proximity to the United States. The name “Cuba” comes from the Taíno language the exact meaning of which is unclear, but may be translated either “where fertile land is abundant” (cubao) or “great place” (coabana). The island has a tropical climate that is moderated by the surrounding waters; however, the warm temperatures of the Caribbean Sea and the fact that the island of Cuba sits across the access to the Gulf of Mexico combine to make Cuba prone to frequent hurricanes. Cuba’s main island, at 766 miles (1,233 km) long, is the world’s 17th largest.

I guess it is romantic to people that live in the plastic world of consumerism. Better to have Big Brother watching you than to live in a country like Afghanistan or Iraq where capitalists have destroyed the country and murdered innocent civilians.

Not much of a spirit if they allow foreign investors to come along and destroy it. What people like yourself dont seem to grasp is that greed is a human trait not just an American one. You dont think for a moment that foreign investors wouldnt jump on this?
Know what I think is a horrible thing? I think its horrible when a person trashes their nation (such as yourself) yet sit back and reap the benefits by being one of its citizens.
It shows both hypocrisy and naïveté. Shame on you.
