I love the culture, music, history and food. Friends who have visited have shared the sentiments as you have - a beautiful but deteriorating country filled with friendly people scraping to survive. One friend was chased down by a young mother and her child begging her to go into a store and buy her some toilet paper and milk. She did so, but had to give her the goods discreetly so she wouldn’t be caught. They definitely do deserve better.
