You can tell a lot about people by the way they treat animals and although the Cubans have very little wealth they will still spend pesos for the care of their pets. Take 150 euros or so of medicines purchased from your local vet (and free reps food supplement samples if you can get them) and introduce yourself to the diminutive but highly energetic Doña Milagros Reyes at Havana's main veterinary clinic. Wonderful way of meeting people off the tourist track, (si puedes hablar Español) and even if you don´t, you´ll get showered with thanks anyway. Get there before Fidel goes folks, because while it may be far from perfect, for people who have nothing the Cubans still give everything. It´s about 3 Conv. pesos from the city centre by taxi and then walk back to find dozens of front parlours converted into sales points selling everything from used wood screws to mallets for crushing sugar cane.
