I’m going to be linking to pages that are in the English language. Please realize that whatever I’m reading might be tailored for an English-reading audience.

So what’s going on in the Netherlands?

Hey, let’s visit with another domain name extension. This time we’ll be visiting the pages of Cuba (.cu).

I’m going to be linking to pages that are in the English language. Please realize that whatever I’m reading might be tailored for an English-reading audience. If I wasn’t estúpido I would speak Spanish and be able to read a lot more pages in their domain.

Oh well. Soy estúpido.

One thing I noticed about Cuban webpages is that they were quite slow to load. I’m not sure for the reason of this. If anyone not in the US wants to try and visit some Cuban pages, let me know if it’s any faster, wouldja?

So what’s on Cuban websites?

So, just realize that whatever I’m reading might be tailored for an English-reading audience.

Anyways, what’s going on in China?
