there is basically a western union type service that will send it there. you can go a few blocks from the restaurant and find a guy who will send money above and beyond that. everybody knows that it goes on because the family members need it and why shouldn't you be able to send money to family members? the cuban government charges an extra 10% fee on top of conversion fee for anything received in dollars. this is a heady travel hint for anyone plan to go to go to cuba, bring euros or canadian dollars because they don't charge that fee. what the cuban government is saying we'll charge 10% on top of conversion rate because it is coming in dollars and a way of thumbing their noses at is policy. so yes, remittances play a tremendous role in the, in the cuban economy. >> we have time for two more questions, please. >> let's see, in the back, yeah. >> can you turn looking glass the other and speak a little bit about what cubans perceptions and attitudes are towards cuban-americans versus other cube man communities in other parts of the world? >> very interestin
