Cuba: When in Cuba… · Global Voices
Janine Mendes-Franco

“In my previous life as a journalist…I once spent a day working in a busy restaurant pretending to be a kitchen hand.  It's an old journalistic stunt that is supposed to allow you to learn first hand how other people live and work, so that you could then go away and write about it.  It’s a lot of fun but…the reality is you always go back to your comfortable cocoon.”  Neither Child of the Revolution nor Uncommon Sense is impressed at the Associated Press‘ Havana Bureau Chief's announcement that she will “spend all of June trying to eat like an ordinary Cuban.”
