The strangely wide influence of a pariah nation.

It's not just Venezuela and the likes who are benefitting of Cuban advances, Europeans also do: yesterday I watched in Euronews how lots of Portuguese are travelling to Cuba to treat their eyes because of the incredible lack of oftalmologists in their country and the low prices they can pay in Cuba, today I read that the Spanish city of Seville is using a Cuban method to alphabetize the important sector (for European standards) of its population that is still illiterate.
