In
Camag�ey, a government owned shop has little goods
to offer.
Strict ration in food and
other goods has been a system for decades. But most
Cubans do not live in misery, thanks to the money
influx from oversea. Cuba recently adopted a
two-tier currency system, in which both Peso and
dollar can legally circulate. Everyday, dollar
stores across the countries attract numerous eager
shoppers who sometimes must wait in lines outside
due to overcrowd. One can find food and goods seen
in western countries, with a similar price. |
