Cuba Libre: First impressions of Cuba {Gadling}
Apr 17th 2009 2:16AM hi absolut4,
my apologies for not replying earlier. actually, to tell you the truth, while English is a required subject in school, less than half of the local Cubans actually feel comfortable speaking it. the ability ranges significantly from quite fluent to not a lick. i would suggest a studying a phrase book, which nearly every Cuba travel guide has at the end of the book.
hope this helps!
Travel guide to Cuba {Gadling}
Apr 15th 2009 1:39PM thanks for your thoughts, but you didn't quite state what, exactly, you take issue with regarding this guide. were you suggesting that MY writing is misinformed, tyrannical, and full of propaganda or were you referring to Cuba's journalists?
the facts are there. you don't seem to disagree with them.
as for your views, i agree with most of them. i will be writing about all of the topics you covered except health care, but that is a very interesting observation about the hospital's conditions though it doesn't completely surprise me.
i will also be writing about the melia habana because that is where i stayed for 7 nights.
