THE LAST DAYS BEFORE FIDEL
Since I left the island a decade ago, lot of things happened which were unbelievable for us at this time. I remember when I first arrived to work in La Habana, I had to wait about a year and a half for a letter from the Minister of Communication himself to grant me a personal and controlled access to the internet. The connection had to be paid in a US dollar with double zeros amount and was extremely slow. This was one of the many ways for the country to get currencies from foreign residents. But as many people a week after my arrival I had already fixed a magic connection next to the airport. The context was stronger than the concept. Recently, very few WiFi spots have been opened downtown La Habana in some public parks creating a new demand and new encounters in typical tropical manner - suddenly facing an entire new world as if were glowing candles in the night - A portrait of the cuban contemporary post-Fidel Castro society about to come.
