When I visited Havana a few months ago I was lucky to be part of the worker’s day celebration. All workers from havana joined in an enormous march towards the revolution square to listen to a speech by the president Raul Castro.

Everyone gathered at 7AM with their own company to start the parade together.

Even though the revolution square is enormous, most people did not fit on the square. It was hard to hear the Castro speech from this far away.
