Bray Perez, a 19-year-old Cuban university student, is fast losing friends to a growing wave of migration off the island.
"Every time I go home, I find that 10 people have left," said Perez, who studies in the capital Havana but hails from the nearby farm province of Mayabeque. "It's hard to get up in the morning and know I'm not going to see them anymore."
