MOTORshow 2004

Finally, I managed to visit the “MOTORshow 2004”. There was plenty to see. Cars, bikes, tires, equipment, and anything else that has to do with motor vehicles. Most of the Japanese and Europeancar makers were represented, together with some American and Korean. There was a section with retro cars organized by Cyprus Automobile Association. There were some sport cars. All in all there were 6 huge pavilions. 3 CYP were defenitely worth it.

I have also made a few photographs while at that.

MotorSHOW poster

I was supposed to post lots of pictures of cars today, but since the show is apparently next week, all I have is just three pictures of the poster. Stay tuned though – I am going to visit the show anyway and you’ll get your pictures too.

Motor Show update

Hazard, Lev, Olga, and I went to Nicosia today to see a Motor Show. It turned out that we just did a blank shot, since the show will start next week. Being early is better than being late, so we don’t mind very much. We managed to have fun and some good time together with food and beer in one Nicosia pubs – now how often does that happen? :)

Anyway, if you are interested, the Motor Show will be held from 17th until 21st of November 2004 (that is from Wednesday until Sunday of next week).

Amateur Song Festival No. 3

Most of today I spent at Amateur Song Festival in Kakomalis. It was the third one in the last two years. By the way, the official name is KSP, which should be written in Russian letters. It can be roughly translated as Kakomalis Song Phestival. :)

Anyway, there were lots and lots of people, nevermind the lack of advertising. Plenty of regulars, but few new faces too. Lots and lots of music, food, and drinks, and general fun. Those who didn’t go missed a lot!

I have made a few pictures, which are available here.
