On Dec. 28, 2015, I boarded a flight in Toronto bound for Havana, Cuba. It was one of those trips you grant to yourself as a reward for having worked hard that year. I had no particular agenda other than observing how people live in Cuba, and, of course, going to the beach. After landing and clearing customs, I walked out of the gate, looking for the driver from my hostel. To my surprise, it was a middle-aged Asian woman. When we jumped into her decades-old, beat-up car, I asked her, “Would you happen to be Chinese?” To which, she replied, “Ha ha, no, I am fourth-generation Korean.” Right there and then, I knew this trip was meant for something much greater than mere tourism. She continued, “My grandfather came to Mexico technically as a Korean slave, and my father fought for the Cuban Revolution.” Why did the author go to Cuba, and what changed his mind about the trip?
