Good evening. I'm hoping to learn more about Cuba. 
 Good evening as well! The Republic of Cuba is an island country in the Caribbean Sea that gained formal independence from the US in 1902, and nearly a century later in 2008, President Fidel Castro resigned. 
 What is the culture like there? 
 In the 1990s, Havana was the heart of the rap scene and Cuba's national team has competed in the Olympic Games. 
 Interesting. What else are they known for culturally? 
 Cuban music is a popular expression of the Latin American culture and Havana has been referred to as a "glittering and dynamic city". 
 That makes sense. I know they are a poor country. How's the health care there? 
 Sorry I don't have any information about the healthcare there, but Rumba music originated in Afro-Cuban culture and is mixed with Hispanic style elements. 
 Do you know if they have any hospitals? 
 I don't know about specific hospitals, but the World Health Organization ( WHO ) has stated Cuba is "known the world over for its ability to train excellent doctors and nurses who can then go out to help other countries in need" and "one of the greatest public health achievements possible" regarding the eradication of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. 
 That's good to know. Can you share anything else about Cuba that you think I should know? 
 I think you should know the Trump Administration tightened travel restrictions that made it harder for US citizens to travel to Cuba for treatment and also put a lot of people's travel plans on hold. 
 I heard that! Thanks for all your information. I now know more about Cuba! 
 You're welcome! One more fun fact is the Tres is a fusion instrument of the Spanish guitar and lute invented in Cuba that you might hear in Cuban classical music!
