Just found this article on the International Herald Tribune about the difficulties of blogging from Cuba. As we had previously reported, Internet connections in Cuba are restricted to tourists and some government officials. There is however some very brave people that go through a few hurdles in order to update their blogs everyday.

“When Yoani Sanchez, 32, wants to update her blog about daily life in Cuba, she dresses like a tourist and strides confidently into a Havana hotel, greeting the staff in German.” 

The article is fascinating.

“Once inside the hotel, Sanchez has to write fast. Not because she fears getting caught, but because online access is prohibitively expensive. An hour online costs about $6, the equivalent of a fortnight’s pay for the average Cuban.”
