Ya gotta love a snotty statement like this, declaring that a place should remain dirt poor, just so rich foreigners like himself can keep the place to themselves. Some think that Cuba should remain some sort of closed "socialist Disneyland", unsullied by modernity. Pretty shameful...

I've got news for ya: the ordinary Cuban cannot *wait* until "generic fast food" and other manifestations of "contemporary western culture" appear, they will be celebrating.

Believe or not, ordinary Cubans desire things such as modern retail, internet, reliable sewerage and electricity, refrigeration and air conditioning, etc. There is no reason they should remain "quaint natives" just for the sake of rich First World tourists...
