I and a few friends will be taking a short trip to Havana in a few weeks. I work in Law Enforcement, and it's not uncommon to find foreign cops overseas to chat. Sometimes we'll swap uniform patches, have a meal, that kind of thing.

My Spanish is decent - conversational, if not technical. Do you think it'd be reasonable to try such a thing in Cuba, or could it backfire or reflect badly on either side?

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
