Hello from Cuba (5) - Another Mind-Twisting Experience
Hotel Havana Libre, Friday, April 8, 2005, 2:47 pm
I am sitting here at one of the most famous hotels in all of
Havana, after I just withdrew Can$250 (200 CUC, Pesos
Convertibles) from my Mastercard. No big deal, you say.....
Until you realize that the average Cuban makes between US8 and
US30, not an hour, not a day, but for a whole month!
My professor for instance told me that she makes about US$18 or
so a month, so the amount I withdrew is more than a year
