I’ve been to Cuba too. Apparently it hasn’t changed much. The toilet paper has always been a problem. Everywhere you go there’s someone with a card table inside the restroom doors selling you 2 squares for a buck. I never saw a door on a bathroom stall. We hired a driver in an old rusted out Datsun that was not a ‘government taxi’, to haul us around. The Malecon was full of hookers that would jump on your car if you slowed down. The once beautiful mansions that belonged to businessmen have all been turned into housing and have laundry hanging from all the windows. Electricity is so limited that our hotel room had a timer dial that turned it on for 2 hrs at a time. And last but not least the people. They’re everywhere. All over the streets and in front of homes. Because there’s no electricity and it’s hot they stay outside.
The country is a beautiful, Communist mess.
“When toilet paper is a luxury goodyou have achieved socialism.”
