Hi friends,
I completed more than 2 years in cyprus and finally got sometime to let you know a little about this tiny island.The currency in cyprus is EURO , so now you can assure that it is in europe and not middle east.Geographically it is in asia but politically in europe.A part of this island is still monitored by british forces.Main population comprises of greek cypriots, who are orthodox christians by religion, so the mentality is somewhat similar to that of indians.Girls are a little bit conservative and typically orthodox to go with any other nationality.DOnt worry, people from many nationalities are residing here.Other than cypriots, people from india, srilanka, pakistan, romania, poland, russia, maldova, serbia, morocco, cameroom, britain, america, hungary and many others live here.Surrounded by mediterrean sea, the island is unique in several ways.Other than beaches, you will see mountains too, which are covered with snow in winters.Main cities are limassol, larnaca, nicosia(capital) and pafos, with airports in pafos and larnaca.The countryside always reminds of india, as the people are too friendly and helping.In cities you might have some bitter experiences based on your conduct.It is not like the other places in europe , where everything is too open.For sure, you would not find anything like amsterdam.Good thing about this island is that most of the people understand english, and who dont, will guide you to the right person.
All of the taxis are mercedes, so you can imagine the income of taxi drivers.Main source of income is the traditional wine and tourism.Shops and malls close by 6 in winters and by 9 pm in summers.Average income in a little less than 1000 euros for the people here.Life is laid back, as in villages in india.Rich and learned people are difficult to find.But dont forget archimedis was also greek.People are intelligent in one or the other way.Another unique thing about this island is the number of cats, which are countless.Last but not the least, the national animal for cyprus in DONKEY :)
Do ask any specific queries.......
