Cuba!

Guess i will not be going to Cuba, dont want to make Fidel Castro richer by a few dollars more, as it is he has enough!Here's something i came accross...
Castro, one of the worlds richest rulers
Long live those fighting for the working class! But not the working class itself, forget those hapless paupers. May you reap the rewards of endless revolution in the face of capitalist pigs - and be well remunerated for your struggle.
Fidel CastroPresident, Cuba
Personal Wealth: $550 million
"Cuba's socialist dictator-for-life derives his fortune from a web of state-owned businesses. Among his profit-generating operations: El Palacio de Convenciones, a convention center near Havana; retail conglomerate CIMEX; and Medicuba, which sells vaccines and other pharmaceuticals produced in Cuba. Castro has ruled the impoverished nation of 11 million since his revolutionary army ousted Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Travels exclusively in a convoy of black Mercedes-Benzes. Sold state-owned Havana Club rum to French liquor giant Pernod Ricard for $50 million in 1993. At age 78, Castro continues to rage against the U.S. Last year he banned the use of American dollars as currency in Cuba and imposed a 10% exchange fee for tourists."

But i am getting paler:-) need to change that, hmmm maybe the sahara desert should do the trick!

Cabbies~

Been a while since i updated so i thought i'd drop a line or two, Cabbie, no i am not talking about the retard"Cabbie on the Street"who shows up on much music or the score, but cabbies in general, I have never seen people with such diverse backgrounds as cab drivers, also you have the one's that are super-smart(well they seem to know everything) to the one's who are,,,, well how do i put it, they can drive, something which they were meant to do!. I take a cab everyday so 30 mins of my day(back and forth) is spent talking to cab drivers and i have met a former pilot, an economist and a political analyst so far and struck up some interesting conversations,,,, driving a cab sure must be a well paying job!!!!, the conversations have ranged from subtle racism in canada to the isreal-palestine conflict,,,,interesting,,,,
Anyway enough of my ramblings for the day, in other news, the weekend was ok, have 2 weeks of vacation coming up, thinking of goin somewhere,,,, have not decided yet,maybe cuba, to work up that tan,lol
