I am in Miami and it's much more than Cubans now

from every country, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Honduras, Venezuela, Mexico, Israel, Iraq, and other areas of the Middle East, Asians, and the Cubans, and other groups, TNTC (too numerous to count).  70-80% of the house staff at the U of M and Jackson are foreign MDs. 

It's not just a Cuban thing here any longer.  There are so many *tongues* spoken here - it's like the United Nations....no, really, a real melting pot, a lot like NYC....and if you only speak one language, you will run into problems.....AND it's not just Miami, the multiethnicities have moved all the way up north of Orlando...central and south florida.
