I would love to go to Cuba one day. I wonder if it’s safe.
Cuba isn’t safe if you are in “gitmo”.
Thank you Emperor Bush! I feel safer knowing that humans are being tortured for your pleasure!
What is a “key lecture” as comparisoned to “lecture”?
The fact that the Cuban goverment abandoned the chess club Jose Raul Capablanca in Havana almost to total destruction for so many years is not even funny, after so many years now they are trying to fix it, Julio Becerra learned chess in that club while it was still abandoned
