Interpretation
I named the bear for Cuba "Alegria". Cuba's population is a recreation of people from Europe, Africa and Asia, living under the strong colours of the Caribbean in peaceful coexistance. Tolerance is one of the most important requirements for this. Humour and happiness are typical characteristics of the Cubans, forming a strong support to carry you through the day. Regardless of which situation you find yourself in, it is important never to lose sight of optimism and hope.
