If you lived here, you could volunteer to do the same for mine. ;-)

What I noticed in Cuba and Trinidad was...people seemed to be more relaxed. They seemed to have more liesure time and to enjoy it more than their North American counterparts. They seemed to have a livelier social life and more contact with family. The youngsters seemed to be more mature and have a lot more respect for their elders...and they were not spending several hours a day playing video games.

Hmmm. Maybe there's a connection there.
