How'd you like to win a trip to Cuba?
UK citizens have a chance to win an all-inclusive holiday to Cuba. You'll spend 10 or 11 nights at a beach-front hotel and two or three nights in Havana. Ah, Havana apparently filled to overflowing with joyous friendly happy Cubans dancing in the streets.
"They love music and dance, and you get the feeling as you walk about the place that they're just about to burst into song or do salsa as street musicians go by."That's exactly what happens.
"People on their way to work stop and do a wee dance as the street musicians play - and then carry on their way."
Here's the contest entry question: What was the name of the project that brought Cuban music to the world 10 years ago?
Reading this made we wonder if the Brit's long for their colonial past, when travelling to view "quaint" natives in their natural habitat was an acceptable pastime. The whole thing is sickening in its tone, in its complete disregard for the reality of Cuba.

I knew it was to happen - cowardly Brits can't take the heat of all these people going to the page and commenting negative things about Cuba so they take the commnets section down!
