Reply #10: Sorry, foreign newspapers are read in Cuba. Cubans are very aware [View All]

of American and world events, publications, even the names of various American and other countries' newspaper columnists, as per a conversation recorded by a DU'er here, after one of multiple trips to Cuba.

Another DU'er personally helped a Cuban friend of his install a dish at his house IN CUBA.

Cubans recieve American tv stations from the States with their own antennas, just as you would be able to receive Miami tv stations if you drove 100 miles NORTH of Miami and watched Miami tv from someone's house there. I used to visit my relatives in a small town 100 miles from the larger city where I live a long time ago, and watched my city's stations on their tv waaaay back then.

They also pick up tv stations and radio stations from throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, etc. run, obviously, by other points of view.

Another DU'er, a Canadian, informed us that you can pick up American radio stations on a simple walkman in Cuba.

As for computers, Pastors for Peace, an American organization, collects computers, and medicine, and medical equipment, and school supplies, and bicycles, and other things and takes them to Cuba annually, where they are used by NON-GOVERNMENT non-functionaries. You can find a lot about them from doing a search.
