Doug Casey in Cuba - Doug Casey in Cuba - The guru of offshore and international living provides some reminiscence & analysis of the changes in Cuba over the past five years - he knows his stuff. From Santiago de Cuba to Havana in only Three Weeks - From Santiago de Cuba to Havana in only Three Weeks - Linda Thalman is the director of WebFrance International and editor of the Paris In Sites Newsletter. She has traveled extensively. On a recent trip to the land of music, laughter, and rum, she lived Cuba from east to west. Linda writes, "At the first step out of the Santiago de Cuba airport on Saturday, 12 February, we salsa-ed through a receiving line of costumed dancers moving to the beat of Cuban music. And the beat went on and on throughout our trip from east to west in Cuba. After three weeks of almost no TV -- CNN and even France-2 television are available at the big hotels, no newspapers -- only the Spanish-language national daily Granma, and no Internet -- no Internet cafe anywhere, es bueno!, we found it actually is possible to totally disconnect -- what a fiesta!" Gaviota, The Last Cowgirl in Cuba - Gaviota, The Last Cowgirl in Cuba - This ratiocination of events in Cuba leads me to a bizarre vision of the future: Havana stands very little chance of not becoming another Juarez or Tijuana, with their controlled and horrific professional prostitution, gambling and gangsterism (a lot like present day Russia, too). Historically, this has been the payback for cultures which deny and try to suppress the natural instincts of their peoples. Kirk Stephan doesn't pull any punches when he writes about Cuba. Andrei Codrescu would like his writing... we know we like his writing, but perhaps it's good advice that weaker souls should stay away. Havana Great Time in Cuba ~ Doing Havana Like a Cuban in Cuba - Vacationing in Cuba - Al Dieste says, "Having just returned from four weeks in Cuba, three of which were spent in Havana, I would like to share with your readers the wonderful opportunity to enjoy and discover a rich and diverse culture, at less-than-Motel 6 prices! Consider an alternative title to this article as “Vacationing Like a King in Havana for $50 a Day!” Sept./02 How to profit (legally) - right now - in Castro's Cuba - When, in 1991, the Soviet empire collapsed, Cuba lost its sugar daddy. Soon after, in the midst of a devastating depression, Fidel Castro, of necessity, opened the door a little to foreign investors and foreign tourists. And thereby hangs a tale…and an attractive investment opportunity. By Adrian Day Iowa City Yankee in King Castro’s Court - Iowa City Yankee in King Castro’s Court - Obviously the situation here on the island was closer to the opposite: Nearly everyone was HIGHLY educated and had had in the past many varying opportunities, cultures, and comfort-levels. This probably was a significant contribution to their becoming what they are: one of the most articulate, bright, and passionate peoples. ...they exhibited daily their tremendous joy in living. Without the comforts which most of the world enjoys (TV, computers, magazines, presidential sex-scandal-entertainments, etc.) they resort to music and dance, poetry and art, dialogue and personal interactions... life as we used to know it. Iowa Yankee in King Castro's Court - Iowa Yankee in King Castro's Court - Steeping back through time, the author, recounts the events of a short trip to Cuba -- his fifth. "Though recovering, my energy level was hovering around zero plus 2 or so. I told my girlfriend I would pay her plane ticket to come to Havana from Santiago de Cuba, but this was tantamount to telling a North American girl in Los Angeles that her lover from Europe had arrived, but she'd have to travel to New York in order to see him! All this was compounded by the fact that Cubans aren't allowed to just travel about at will, but Havana is starting to shape up. In the next couple of years, I guess, it'll be looking a lot more like it did in the old capitalist glory days." photos by Håkan Rönnblad. Living In Cuba - Living in Cuba - Our first report on what may be an extended series about living in Cuba. This article by Escape From America editor Roger Gallo is an introduction to living on the Grand Island. Making Choices - Trying to Pick a New Country to Live In - Making Choices - Trying to Pick a New Country to Live In - There are opportunities everywhere. I’ve heard from reliable sources that no one, I repeat, no one is supplying fresh produce or vegetables on any of the American Virgin Islands. Produce has to shipped into the Virgins from afar at great shipping cost. (causing the available produce in V.I. markets to be high in price and dated in flavor.) The reason for the lack of locally grown produce, or so we’ve been told, is a scarcity of water. There are several ways to grow fresh vegetables hydroponically that utilize low water-consumption methods. As a matter of fact, upon hearing about that lack of fresh produce in the Virgins I spent several days reading about hydroponic methods and thinking about what it would take to set up such a venture. It was a rather intriguing few days. It would be lots of hard work, but in our opinion it would be fun, in addition to it’s having the potential of being extremely lucrative. There are numerous nearby islands that would also be interested in purchasing fresh produce. The venture would take some serious research. Hydroponics is a science; but it isn’t rocket science and we believe that anyone with a brain could learn what is required to be successful. Retiring in Cuba - Retiring in Cuba - Christopher Howard, author of "Living and Investing in the New Cuba" shares his wisdom on Cuba. Cuba may soon become the place to beat if they can maintain cautious growth and a realistic balance between what they have and what they need. The Case Against Cuba Sanctions ~ Latin Business Chronicle - Cuba Tourism - Philip Peters is a vice president of the Lexington Institute. Peters writes, "On the eve of Congressional consideration of amendments affecting U.S. economic sanctions against Cuba, the State Department has released a 20-page "white paper" to bolster its point of view. The paper may well reveal the Administration's real reason for wanting to deny Americans the right to travel freely to Cuba: it does not want Americans to see how distorted is their own government's presentation of Cuban reality.
