So Yoani Sanchez still hasn't answered :(. I'm trying to find people from Cuba to interview, but im finding it extremely hard. I tried to go on nuestrasvoces.com, but there are no email addresses on which i can contact somebody on.

Chat rooms?

Well today I pretty much tried every possible Spanish chat room there is. However, not one person was from Cuba. I also tried searching for Cuban chat rooms and yet i could not find somebody from there. This shows that the people there don't have easy access to computers. Please notify me if you happen to find a place where it is possible to chat with Cubans. :)

Fake websites?

I wanted to chat with people from Cuba, so i went on Hellocuba.com because they have a chat room on there. There, you are supposed to be able to communicate with children in Cuba, but I found that everybody was from the United States and they were talking about unnecessary things.

YOANI SANCHEZ

I just wrote on Yoani Sanchez's blog. Hopefully she'll answer soon. This is what i wrote:

I was wondering... How is a high school experience in Cuba different than in the United States?

New Laws?

So today i was watching TV and i saw that President Obama wanted to make a new law to make immigration to the United States easier for Cubans. This was extremely interesting to me. I agree with this decision because i think that Cubans should be given the chance to come to a better life. The government in Cuba is terrible and the people there suffer a great deal.

Driving Question...

How do people recover from life altering discoveries?
ex: getting diagnosed with a disease, realizing that somebody you love passed away

The Real Havana

Throughout the years, Cuba' economy has disintegrated. Ever since Castro came to power, communism has been established. This made private businesses and restaurants illegal. Because of this, many people have resorted to making secret businesses and restaurant. If a person lives in Cuba and really enjoys eating in a restaurant, the chances that the restaurant remains in the same location for a long period of time is not great. Whenever there are communism rallies, all the people are forced to go by the government. There, the people are made to say that Cuba is the best. This is because the people understand that if they say any negative comments, they might be imprisoned or even killed. People think that this "phase" will be over in a short amount of time, but will it?
