A lot of Swedes go to Cuba for vacations. A buddy of mine tipped an absolutely beautiful girl $400 for a week’s work.
Hard to believe it but she made the equivalent of 70 times what a brain surgeon makes!
I had occasion to be treated in the main Cuban Army Hospital in Havana in 1995, I was having some nerve problem. The nurse at the US mission there lined up an appt with an orthopedic surgeon. The guy was equiv of a major in the US Army and earned a kings ransom of $35 a month. Other officers supplemented their meager pay by driving cabs.
