Yoani Sanchez writes the “Generation Y” blog and gets more than a million hits a month, mostly from abroad – though she has begun to strike a chord in Cuba. On her site and others, anonymous Cubans offer stinging criticisms of their government.

But it isn’t simple. To post her blog, Sanchez dresses like a tourist and slips into Havana hotels with Web access for foreigners. It costs about $6 an hour and she can’t afford to stay long given the price and the possibility someone might catch her connecting without permission.

Crazy Cubans, go roll me some cigars, then you can blog, I’ll even send you the 6 dollars.
