Cuba
A distance of 90 miles (144 kilometers) separates the Republic of Cuba from the United States of America. That distance is close enough for cultural if not political influences between the two countries. Contributors typically ask about Cuba's ancient Arawak, Ceboney and Taino past; brief forays into 20th century democratic politics; cultural contributions to world music and poetry; and political plans for the future.

How do Cuban immigrants feel about visiting Cuba?
There's like this feeling of sadness still.. stemming from our grandparents and parents that were basically forced to leave... leave their family, their homes.
The feeling still remains that their freedoms were stripped away from them. It's become less of an issue over the years, people forget, new generations don't feel as strongly. But if you talk to anyone who lived in Cuba and had to leave and they'll tell you they not only wouldn't allow themselves to, but they can't condone giving the Cuban government any of their money (by flying there, buying their goods, etc), nor step on the soil that used to be rightfully theirs (or their parents') until the country is free from Communism.

Why are Daschunds popular in Cuba?
I was recently on the island and the one explanation i get from Cubans was that they are popular because is a easy-to-care breed, nothing about the story.
They have short and strong hair, are small and have good health (despite their cronic heart diseases when they are old) The Daschund personality it's strong and they can care by theyselves. They are good hunters, so they can even feed themselves alone chasing another small animals like rats or lizards (yummy!)

Is the Oasis hotel in Varadero Cuba a good one?
Not, not at all. The food and restaurant there fall much below average, with flies flying around everywhere, and the food has bad quality, the machines also tend to break a lot. Mosquitoes are everywhere, as soon as you sit down, they bite you. The pool was fair, with perhaps some bad stuff in it. The beach is fairly decent, with sharp objects in the sand and horrible, bad quality rest chairs, but, with pretty good waves and a nice, see through water view, although at some points, there are sharp rocks found in the water. The rooms are horrible. Bacteria is found, the rooms are cheap, the beds are old and uncomfortable, the walls are in bad condition, although the air conditioner works fairly well, if not below average. Washrooms are uncomfortable and bad. The halls are average, but with cracks on walls and fairly bad lighting. Drinks are decent, with fanta, juice, liquor, coke, etc. The music is being played all over and over and over again. Bad selectivity. Basically, this 2-star hotel founded in 1956 sucks. In the 2 weeks I spent there, I went through continuous boredom, hell and more hell. The only things I liked is that the water was decent and they actaually didn't starve you to death, amazingly. I'd rather eat bad quality food then out of the garbage.
