OK. I will ask maybe a dumb question. I know that there are many American issues that we know nothing about - the various "anonymous" caramel issues for instance.

But is the fact that Cuba is closed to US part of the reason we don't know about some of these? I am also thinking about the "Cuban Polar Bear" brouhaha from several months ago, and the debate as to what they actually are.

Is the confusion natural because of Cuba's history and age of the cards, or do you think more would be known if people could travel more easily back and forth, and the entire country were more available?

Or does something like the Internet overcome the lack of physical contact with the people, the country, culture, etc.
