Man it must be nice to live in a communist country wherein like 98% of the GDP doesn't go to billionaires, billionaire owned corporations, and the military. (hexbear.net)

I can't even wrap my head around like China providing housing for people. Or Cuba with it's free world class healthcare. My anglo brain only knows the misery of being poor and on the receiving end of the nightstick of capital.

How common are people who know English? My Spanish isn't great, though I'd obviously try to brush up on it before going. I guess there's translation apps now at least.

Not very common at all, unless they're working in some kind of tourist industry.

One of the reasons I had gone actually, is because I'd been working on my Spanish and had gotten to a point where I could actually have a decent conversation with somebody patient. Though their accent is one of the tougher ones.
