I'd like to create a ribbon that says "Bring 'em on (home)!"

Cuba's Tourism Ministry has issued a resolution telling its workers to keep their mingling with foreigners to a minimum, prohibiting everything from accepting personal gifts to attending events in the homes or embassies of foreigners without written permission.

The resolution went into effect last week. It applies to Cubans working in tourism on the island, as well as overseas. The action is the latest in a series of attempts by the government to further tighten state control on the island. Many visitors to Cuba bring small gifts such as clothing, stationery and toiletries for locals.
