Read in August, 2008
Probably one of the best series to read before going to another country. The book on Thailand was excellent and won some kind of highly rated travel prize. I was curious if another like Cuba would make the cut. It did. The Thailand edition was impossibly lyrical but if I was going to Cuba I think this would give me a great start on understanding issues beneath the surface like jinteros, the dual dollar/peso economies, police state, hospitality, rumba et. al.

This book is broken down into short stories of people who have been to Cuba. It's a fast, easy, and very interesting read about Cuba with tons of cultural information!
