Nice, very nice.

I enjoyed your slide show as well. I would like to visit North Korea, but I don't see that will happen. I have been to South Korea several times to perform.

Cuba is screwed because...

the american people have no shame for oppressing the island Cubans and the US is too big for any for any one country to stop them.

lulu89: "My family were all fooled by Fidel, it took time to see the big picture."

------------------------

its been 49 years-- no one in yr family has realized the strangle hold the US has had on the Cuban island?

let me guess-- you and yr whole family are all living in the USA. how did i know that? bcz all the idiots left cuba or fidel kicked them out!

[chaqualha]

@artdecadance There may be a mistake here... people there are much more free than in US.

Praise God I like it but some of the clips was going to fast they should have shot the shopping area a lil bit more and cars inside out i like the shot of the barber shop love cuba want to go there some day heard alot of storys like the fact that the ppl are not stuck on capitalism

[endurocatfish]

even if americans could travel to cuba there would just be so much hate from the cuban people no one would go there

Castro the dictator is oppressing the cuban people. All he has to do is empty the prisons of the thousands of political prisoners and hold free elections. Since he turned cuba into slave plantation for himself and fellow cronies it's not likely to happen.

Poverty came because Fidel and Raul Castro they took everything from the people all there wealth they both need to die in order for the country to prosper.People are starving that is communisum!! I hope the USA never follows there path.

for the same reasons people are risking their lives in mexico

[dusansnoir]

clip seems to be only of the tourist areas...not the typical Cuba that lacks everything. People are nice , when alone they speak of the hardships faced when living beneath a tyrant-dictator. To cross 90 miles of shark infested water on inner-tubes...desperate to get out of there. i was there 2 months...found what is left of my family...very sad.

People are "FREE"in CUBA,you have no idea to be under the "OCCUPATION"by another Nation.

This man ordered the death of over 5000 Catholic Priests. If he is so wonderful then why are his people risking their lives to leave Cuba?
