At Your Service – Receive Offers from the Best Professionals in Cyprus
Category: Cyprus
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.

Why Waze is so incredibly popular in Costa Rica
Why Waze is so incredibly popular in Costa Rica – excellent story, which, I think, is pretty applicable in Cyprus too. There aren’t many people here. And there are even fewer sensible street addresses. We are landmark driven navigation country too.
Mr.Meat – meat online shop for Nicosia, Cyprus
Mr.Meat is the first project going live since I joined Qobo. I’ve only had a minor role in this one, but it’s still delicious. There aren’t many online shops in Cyprus, and even fewer that handle the delivery, so this new addition is very welcome, even if they only cover Nicosia delivery for now. The thing that I love the most about this site is the photography – the images are just salivating!
Limassol, Cyprus… Slow Sunday
The heat is finally down. There is a cool breeze. The sun is setting down. A cold beer in hand. Pink Floyd playing at the background. A friend nearby. This view. And no agenda for the rest of this really slow Sunday. I love Limassol. I love Cyprus. And sometimes I love it even more.
