Christ Fellowship Miami got permission from the Gov't to do Mission Trips to Cuba! How cool is that! I've been praying about going on the trip in August. One of the trips just got back. I've heard plenty of stories about their dwindling economy and how the blackmarket has their own currency printed. What I wanted to share, however, is a quote:
Cubans over there say that America is better than Cuba only in two areas: MOVIES and EVERYTHING ELSE.
That's a quote. Having been exposed to preCastro International Cinema, we do make better movies... but I do think there are some things that Cubans do better...
10 things done in Cuba better than done in America:
10) Cigars
09) Speak better spanish
08) Driving - (sorry, I can't even pretend on that one.)
07) Cigars
06) Arroz Con Pollo
05) Stronger Passion: Do you really see an American clinging to a raft for a couple days in the tropical heat to escape to another life? Answer: NO. We'd rather complain about the conditions than do anything about it.
04) Cigars
03) Loyalty (who else would have stuck with Communism this long?)
02) Play Follow the Leader: they follow Castro to the brink of implosion. Meanwhile, we gripe at Bush every chance we get.
01) Cigars
What's your country's top 10 list?
My parents were born in Cuba and died in the United States as American citizens never being able to see the country of thier birth. I have said that I will not visit my parents Island until she is free. I think the embargo (if can call it that) is stupid, and yes they do speak better spanish there. I don't cigars but Romeo & Julieta are very good and come from the Dominican Republic, but you got me on the arroz con pollo.
My country's top 10?
No se estoy pensando...
(translation: I don't know I'm thinking about it)
