Cubans on new freedoms: 'We'll see how far we go'
In the past week, President Raúl Castro has legalized cell phone use for ordinary Cubans; legalized the sale within Cuba of microwaves, DVD players and personal computers. Cubans are liking the change, even if the costs are out of their reach. Cuba's government had previously forbidden the sale of consumer products under the argument that they consumed too much electricity. And although computers hadn't yet been seen on the shelves Wednesday, Yamile Batista, the commercial director of La Puntilla department store, said they were among various products that would appear this week. Most Cubans can't afford to rent cell phones or buy any of the new products available to them. The average monthly salary is just under $20.
Opinion
Well it is nice to know that Cubans are now like normal people having their own cell phones and haing homw tvs. Now they can be like normal people. However, the bad thing about this is that it caould probably bring alot of people in debt and Cuba could be in a huge debt like the US and other countries.
