not for at least another 20 years, no. Assuming that Cuba comes out of communism (or the weak-ass version of communism that they've got, anyway,) things would be problematic at best for a foreigner going in to start a business -- being looked at as a carpetbagger would be the least of it, really. Fuck dude, they're just getting disco now.

Aside from that, after 50 years of communism, there's a kind of anti-bourgeois mentality that also equates bourgeoisie with education, class, uprightness. I can't really define it, but you can see it in the difference between the old cubans -- dudes who left in '59 or the early 60's when the shit hit the fan -- and the younger ones just here a few years or so. The old dudes are stand-up dudes, people you would totally want on your side in a bar fight. The young dudes are the people you can't count on for shit.

And for cuban women, well, I'm spoilt for choice, really.

I knew you liked to cook, but I never knew you wanted to open a restaurant.
