Lots of misery down there, not much food.

I went there in 1988 and it was a great trip for a gringo.
Hotel and food were dirt cheap. Stayed at the Hilton and ate steak every night. Polar beer was tasty. Used a lot of concrete in their architecture and looked very sleek and modern. Walked all over and felt safe.
Socialism and dictators obviously don't work.

it is interesting that a country will shift into socialism, or highly socialistic arrangements.
it's like the people grown dis-enchanted or something and they want something better. they try socialism and the system goes further down the crapper.
we see it happening is this country even now.
