A tourist from the United States of America

A tourist from the United States of America is at a resturant in Havana. He tells the waiter that the USA is the best country in the world because of the freedoms it has. He says, «Take Freedom of Speech for example. I could stand in front of the White House in Washington D. C. and yell ‘President Clinton is a bastard!’ and nothing would be done to me.» The Cuban waiter replies, «We have that same freedom in Cuba. I could stand in front of El Capital and yell the same thing and nothing would be done to me too!»



Favourite town.
My home my castle.
