I spent two weeks in Cuba, after Christmas, all inclusive 5 stars resort, it was my 6th or 7th time there, magical place for me …
this time quality of service was worst, shortage of food items, limited selection, lack of entertainment … but magic was still there, the beach, the weather, the cuban people …
and something else was different this time, the kind of crowd that came; the white, upper class customers got replaced by young people of different color; it was noisier , the energy got unpredictable ….
majority of people coming to the resort are overweight, unhealthy , ugly looking; all inclusive resort is the last place they should go to … what about detox , fasting, exercise filled place instead of full plates of food many times a day???
since I remember I always had uneasiness about throwing food out, eating out is making me more aware of what and how much to order, if I cant finish my food and return empty plate I feel terrible and I always have to explain myself to the person that cleans up … back to Cuba, the people there have it always more difficult to make money and than to spend them, there has been lack of everything nowadays, just rum, papayas, cabbage ….
and than those people have to face those fat, stupid acting Canadians, filling they plates endlessly and always leaving much behind … makes me want to scream .. and I am supposed to feel oneness and equality with all …
the reality I am living in is strange, I am strange, the fact that I have a form that is animated, that restricts me, that thinks and acts based on the programing imposed on me since the beginning …. what’s me, the real me???
