It's pretty funny/interesting that you have said this much about your exposure Cuba, but have yet to be transparent about the nature and duration of your travels there.
It's starting to remind me of the way my family has spoken about LA. They came here once on a church mission project. They spent 99% of their time on Skid Row. They spent 3 days in the area (hotel accommodations were, of course, in a "much safer area"). Blowhards like my step dad left thinking they had the scoop on LA as a whole. Great stories for the congregation and political allies.
In other words, come clean Hants. This objectivity pose is tiresome/hilarious.
