I live in Cyprus for many years now. It is a beautiful little island in Mediterranean Sea. It features warm weather for most of the year, sea, very kind and hospital people, plenty of jobs in IT industry, good food and plenty of alcohol, stable currency, and more. It’s really a nice place to live if you can handle small towns and villages. It’s also a great place to raise the kids.
Not much happens here. It is a quiet and simple place. Yet, when something happens or when I write about it, I post it to Cyprus category.
Olga was baking a cake with berries today. I think those are called black rasberries or something like that. Since this kind of berries does not grow in Cyprus, we have to buy them fresh frozen. Straight out of the freezer and out of the box, they look something like these.
Snakecharmer will rock tonight at New Division in Nicosia. Show starts at 22:00. Free entrance. Now if anyone has any idea how to find the New Division, let us all know in the comments.
Today I took a short walk to the bakery. My neighborhood turned out to be very photogenic. Strangely, I was never noticing it. The best time to go around is at about 4:00pm. The sun is not that bright anymore, but provides suffecient light. There are plenty of old houses, creepy places, traffic signs, and cats. There are also some dumped cars which look interesting in black and white. By now you probably think that I live in the middle of nowhere and the only missing bit is some huge factory which is no longer operational… Well, I assure you tht I live practically in the center of the city and it is a very nice and quiet place. And no factories or anything like that.

Olga and I were shopping today and so we bought a whole bunch of fruits. Strawberry was very good – sweet and tasty with an excellent aroma spreading blocks and blocks. We have also purchased two exostic fruits. They didn’t look or feel familiar so we bougth only one of each to try. One of them had a name “Granadilla” attached and simple instructions on how to eat it. Another one remains nameless, but I ate it anyway. It wasn’t very good or tasty. Granadilla was kind of sweet and nice and I liked it.
