I know it's been in the news lately that the Administration is going to normalize relations, but does anyone know how hard it is to communicate with a regular Cuban citizen in Cuba right now?

Is there a mail service from the U.S.? Do Cubans have access to e-mail? Fax?

Thanks for the help.

It looks like they have some kind of Cuba only internet/email and I wouldn't think most Cubans have computers. I'm sure you can call though.

Most Cubans don't have internet, the only internet you'll see in Cuba are tiny internet cafes. It'll take awhile before most Cubans have access to internet, whatsoever.

Can they receive mail from the United States?

I'm pretty sure they can get mail from the U.S. my mom and sisters used to send packages to family there.

Don't know offhand, but if you make contact, be sure to get them to send you a couple of bottles of Havana Club. Hell, grab me a couple of bottles too. My usual year-end contact for such things (from Cuba through the UK) has dropped off the map.

You can use DHL Express to Cuba. Lots of forms to fill out though.
