It shows in the statistics: 60% of the Miami residents are native Spanish speakers and only 15% have English as their first Language. Not mentioning this at all in the series stroke me as badly researched. I would have expected at least a few words about the omnipresent Cuban Immigrants!<br /> I am a German currently living in Nicaragua and I go to Miami now and then because there is a direct flight and I enjoy the Latin flair of the city. Too bad Mr. Fry didn&#39;t treat himself to a strong sweet Cafecito and a Cuban pork sandwich over there. I think he would have liked it! </p>
