Raul Castro promised changes and he delivers: You can drink a Cuba Libre in the evening and in the morning have a Sex Change on the Beach

When Raul Castro took over from Fidel Castro and announced that he would introduce some sweeping changes, the rest of the world was not exactly holding its breath. I have to admit I was rather sceptical myself. I was willing to believe that there would be some minor, sartorial changes. A bit less beard perhaps, a change of smoke, a suit instead of those tired revolutionary greens but for the rest the same old, same old.

Well, this time the whole world and its mother (and me) were wrong. Raul promised changes and by God, does he deliver…:

Cuba’s new president Raul Castro has decided to offer citizens free sex changes. The development is the latest in a series of eye-catching reforms in state policies since Mr Castro succeeded his brother Fidel in February.

(Cuba Libre: Pour lime juice into a highball glass over ice cubes. Add rum, fill with cola, stir, and serve.

Sex on the Beach: Add vodka and peach schnapps to a highball glass over ice. Fill with equal measures of cranberry juice and orange juice, and stir.)
