Despite living under Communism for 50 years the Cuban people are still industrious and their culture strong.
Even religion still does OK despite the government attempts at making personallity cults the only state religion.
Credit the music, the rum, baseball or whatever, the fact that these people still manage to smile is a miracle.
One question that every cuban can answer automatically without thinking it ''which direction to Miami?'' Everyone points in the right direction.
Cubans living in the US do very well for themselves and have been supporting their families back home for decades; their culture is alive in Miami, NY and NJ.
