Havana was such a hot party town in the thirties,forties and fifties
wasn't it? I understand it had great nightclubs and music, and very
welcoming to American dollars back then. I know people who have gone to
international conferences there but I can't recall them praising the much?
We used to go to Prague while the communists were still there, and
actually went to see some soviet military bases in East Germany, but the
soldiers couldn't speak to us. I guess they didn't want to risk our
American influences, lol.
