I visited Havana in 2007 and 2015. The city is filled with colonial and revolutionary history, with many things seemingly frozen in time. The country was slowly moving towards modernization, and some of the changes from 2007 to 2015 were immense. You were unable to access the internet in 2007, but in 2015 they were ripping up the streets of Old Havana to lay the cables.
