Don’t forget the toilet paper

To all you would be travelers to Cuba, before you hop on that plane to Havana on your way to an island beach vacation, Jose Reyes has a few words for you--take toilet paper.

And, while you're at it, ponder this as well, the price the Cuban people pay for your communist run fun in the sun:

Meanwhile, back at the resort area where all the vacationers and ceperlebrities stay, yes, those imaginary places, scattered about, hidden in secluded areas throughout the island. Yes, where a state of amnesia suddenly devours them all and where double standards rule, those beautiful tropical beach resorts where they stay. “In Cuba everyone has all they need to survive, the inhabitants live comfortable there”, they all say. And why? Because they want Cuba for themselves and it really doesn’t matter to them what government is in place there. All that that matters is that it stays the same. As long as they have toilet paper at the Hotels and fruit, vegetables, lobster, meat, chicken, rice and beans, milk, WATER, Aspirin, and first class hospitals, that’s all that matters. They sometimes take a walk around the outskirts and see with their own eyes, they see the poverty, the shirtless kids playing with old used car tires. They see it all as they turn their heads and begin back to their oasis in the sun.

Read the rest of   "No Toilet Paper in Cuba." in the latest edition of the Cubanology Bi-Weekly, here.
