[ Shopping, eating and visiting friends ]
Cuba Libre. At my return from a happy trip of shopping, eating and visiting family and friends, there were news of Castro, the new Cuban President Raul Castro lifting the shopping ban from his country´s citizens. I was overjoyed by the news, imagine all these poor Cuban people having the exreme pleasure of buying stuff. Stuff they could do without for so many years, stuff they couldn´t afford, yet they lined up at the stores to look at the stuff. The stuff means so much more than participating in the global sport of shopping, being able to buy whatever you want means freedom. But you are only free to buy when stuff is affordable and you are able to work to afford stuff.
I am watching out for less fluffy news from Cuba about the government allowing people to work with proper wages.
