HAVANA TIMES – It’s 10 am and there is a planned power outage. I was about to start writing, but the imminent power cut prevents me. So, I turn to my cell phone’s limited battery because this diary post immediately comes to mind.
And it is, thanks to the blackouts, I discover a bit about my neighbors. Apparently, there should be silence, but the outburst following the power cut verbally reveals people’s discomfort.
You can hear swear words and insults against the government and any dissatisfaction among family members. You simply hear everything. Doors slamming, street vendors, but above all, the youngest in the house who are home on a weekday. I don’t understand why they are not in school…
And, making a parenthesis on this topic, schools no longer have near enough teachers. I don’t know what will happen to education in this country.
