My brother sent me the link to this forum thread (in Greek mostly), which contains lots of pictures for the current and upcoming real estate projects in Limassol, which are significantly changing its skyline. Â It’s one thing to hear about these projects individually, and see the construction begin in different areas of the city, and a completely different to see them all together on one page.
It’s quite impressive!
For those of you not fortunate enough to live in Cyprus, here is a glimpse at how Easter (and other major holidays like … Sundays) are celebrated in Cyprus villages.
The photo comes from this article (in Greek) which (to the best of my knowledge) tries to warn people about buying meat from non-certified butchers. Â Well, guess what, all certified butchers were probably emptied out anyway.

Found this video in Jason Kottke’s blog:
Good advice all around. Â The best one is from the 93 year old:
Don’t listen to other people’s advice. Â Nobody knows what the hell they are doing.
Which I’ve heard before in Joe Rogan’s stand up comedy:
You know as much about what life is all about as anybody who’s ever lived ever.

This weekend I got my first bar ban. Â I was asked to leave TePee Strictly Rock bar and to never ever come back. Â Which I did and which I won’t.
(This post is here mostly for those people who were there on Saturday and who keep asking me what happened.)
What happened was an escalation of misunderstanding, mostly of what is rock music, what is a rock bar, what is a live gig, and what are the behavioral boundaries. Â I don’t claim to be an expert on the subject, but I do have an opinion, with which a few people agree. Â Too bad, the band on stage and the owner of the establishment didn’t.
It turns out I was too loud in the crowd. Â It turns out I was making the band uncomfortable by screaming requests for something heavier (AC/DC, Rammstein, Metallica, etc) than Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. Â Too bad I wasn’t familiar with the band’s repertoire – my bad. Â And, it turns out that asking for a refund will get you kicked out. Â No problem. Â Maybe the band repertoire was a wrong reason to ask a refund for. Â Maybe I should have mentioned the horrible sound engineering instead. Â It’s too late now anyway.
On the other hand, it looks like some people enjoyed the gig (there are YouTube videos).  So maybe I was inappropriate.  To each his own I guess.  TePee is not a rock bar in my book anymore.  And I’m not a wanted customer in TePee.  Fair enough.
