Well I have been in Cyprus for one week now and I am on cloud nine (no Turks on that one ).

The weather has been great, the sea is on my doorstep, field and mountains behind.

Son loving the relaxed school atmosphere, although we keep missing the school bus and getting strange looks walking with the dog amidst a chorus of barking dogs as we pass each house.
The old fashioned peripato seems to have lost its appeal for some reason.

However, not all is great in Paradise ....... the Cypriot bubble gum loses its flavour too quickly

..... But rapidly discovering the wines

This Heaven on Earth surely cannot last . . .

Does some normality / acceptance / familiarity eventually settle in and Cyprus just becomes another place or is it always so thrilling?

It's over 6 months for me and still loving it!!

I am really looking forward to the summer now - having a swim in the pool when you feel like it, Souvla with friends outdoors, going to the beach, looking healthier with a bit of a tan, being able to predict the weather and plan things ahead..... wonderful!

Of course there are things you miss and things that annoy you but nowhere is perfect.

You're in the right place Phoenix mou (I know you like that phrase!), don't question it, just go with the flow!

But what about the Bubble Gum ......

Even the Huba Buba doesn't keep its flavour for as long as the one in the UK did !

Has anyone found a Bubble Gum that keeps its flavour for more than 45 seconds?

Phoenix, which eparhia do you guys live, whats your nearest city. Anyway bubble gum is bad for their teeth darls. get the to chew on teratsia.

Try Carefour ....... I loved that store. I know crappy but hey fun to be in. Especially the one in Larnaca and Paphos or and yermasoyia.

Oh no Humanist .....

Any dentist worth his floss will tell you chewing stimulates the production of saliva which has antibacterial properties and contributes to good dental hygiene

But I love teratsia [Carob, right?]

[humanist]

:):):):):):):) well buble gum wins (make sure it has no sugar tho).

teratsia is precisely and the same as Carob.
