Back in April, Cuba's Communist Party Congress announced a series of economic reforms that permit self-employment in 178 areas of work, including restaurants, carpentry, barbers, hair dressers, electricians and taxi drivers.

Under the announced reforms, Cubans also will be able to buy and sell cars and homes for the first time in half a century.
