Timeless Havana

A lot of the cab drivers that we met were either doctors or engineers, which understandable if you think about the numbers. A taxi driver usually earns the monthly salary (if not more) of a doctor in just one day. In a way, it's similar to my country where medical workers are underpaid, but that's a whole different topic :)

Do you have a Spanish citizenship? If you happen to move back to Spain one day, then you could easily visit Cuba. I don't think there are any restrictions if you travel from Europe.

Sorry about the delayed response. I only have USA citizenship, which makes going back to Spain very difficult. I've been trying to find a way back for years, without much luck. Some of my Spanish friends went to Cuba and it looked amazing from the photos.

With China, I believe University education is free. There are only so many openings for professionals, so it's not uncommon to have a barber with a PhD. Cuba has one of the most educated populations, if not the highest.

The closest I've gotten was when I got to chat with one of Fidel Castro's go-to interpreters. That was fascinating, though.
