A leap into the unknown Cuba

We always travel all around the world and people smile us. We never ever think that people live there and why they are smiling us. Finally, we think this country has beautiful people always make us happy and comfortable. Probably they are always happy, hospitable and love their country. We know that they have old houses and limited life before travelling. Then, we start to think that ''Yaaayy!! They found the secret of life! Money is not important! Life standards are not important for being happy! They do not pay money for anything! I will move on here!'' after travelling. But that is not true and why? Why the people accepted this life? Why they do not work for better? Why they are happy even they always smile at us? Because they cannot change anything. They do not believe anything and they will never try to change anything. I always think that in my all trip. Are populate happily? Are they living in comfort? And why the people smile me? I decided that people are waiting for us. Because they do not travel anywhere and some of them never learn something about the world, the other countries. So, they are waiting for us, for our news, for our speech maybe only our smile and remembering them. I always think that ''Are they happy?''. Well, the other side Cuban foods are similar Turkish food and their dances, music, cafes, ocean look awesome. There are two different Cuba in the morning and night. I love both sides of Cuba. And again ''Are they happy?''. I am addicted to Spanish songs and started learning Spanish and I have many Cuban friends helping my Spanish practice. I love my Cuban friends even people we already have met. I miss them when I came to Turkey even before the plane landed. I hope we will be happy without politics reasons and all politicians. Thank You!
