I can’t figure out why he said he was insulted, or it was insulting, that they have so little in Cuba, and the U.S. has so much. I don’t know if we are insulting him because we have so much, or if Cuba is insulting him because they have so little due to their Communist politics.

The video was interesting. We’ve had missionary friends through the years who’ve brought people back to the states with them to visit. It was the grocery stores that wowed them.

We had an Italian relative come visit us in the states some years ago. We had been to his beautiful, well appointed villa outside Rome. He was obviously pretty well off.

When asked what he would like to go see or visit, his immediate response was “Walmart”!

I believe it's the 2nd part - Cuba's insulting HIM!
