520    Cuba is a land of contradictions that is easy to enjoy but
       difficult for first-time visitors to decipher. The largest
       island in the Caribbean, it is a tropical paradise that 
       Christopher Columbus called "the most beautiful land that 
       human eyes have ever seen." It is famous for the romantic 
       charm of its crumbling colonial cities, the beauty of its 
       white sand beaches, and its irresistible Afro-Cuban dance 
       beats. But it is also a land of shortages and tight 
       government control, which has been in a sixty-year 
       political standoff with its superpower neighbor, the USA. 
       The homegrown version of single-party socialism created by
       Fidel Castro has kept Cuba in a Cold War time warp that 
       only now is beginning to change. As travel restrictions 
       are relaxed US tourists can once again visit the island. 
       Greater flexibility toward private enterprise is opening 
       it up to boutique hotels and high-quality home-based 
       restaurants. There is a boom in special-interest tourism 
       for cyclists, hikers, birdwatchers, and scuba divers, 
       while foreign entrepreneurs are eagerly exploring 
       investment opportunities. Culture Smart! Cuba will take 
       you beyond the usual descriptions of Havana nightlife, 
       vintage cars, and hand-rolled cigars and give you an 
       insider's view of an island that is teetering on the brink
       of historic change. It offers insights into Cuba's 
       fascinating history, national icons, unique food, vibrant 
       cultural scene, and world-renowned music. Practical tips 
       help business travelers gain an edge on the competition. 
       But most of all, this book aims to show you how best to 
       break the ice and get a better understanding of the 
       infinitely resourceful Cuban people, who despite severe 
       hardships and shortages over many years remain optimistic 
       and fiercely proud of their heritage and culture.
