i did the mistake of going into the north a few times... never again

Why? I am interested to know.

[paliometoxo]

i felt weird going into the north saddend by the buildings the signs ALL in turkish not even any english the toy police cars the police use, it made me angry going to the north seeing small turkey but my curiosity made me want to go and see how it is.. it looks pretty bad over there the places i went to

well paliometoxo, I felt the sadness and despair also, and when we visited our ancestral home I felt empty and sad, as i had plans to ask for family photos but never got the courage to oo so and it was my grandmother's dying wish to see if family pictures were saved. But I did enjoy sitting in that park with a friend from londin he had a beer i had tea. I found the flags and lack of english very threatenning but hey I surved and the Turks cannot keep me from my country. I also came accross many peope willing to help me find a car hire place but due to lack of english I gave up after two ahours of searching. My first time accross was though my favourite I was very eager and excited it was nice to visit the rest of my country and I went to the market place where I felt really at home and took me back to my childhood when I ussed to visit the palio dimarhio markets and smaelled the fruits and veg, which I discovered that the supermarket won in the free areas.

Yes I shared some of the feelings expressed above when we visited the ancestral villages a couple of summers ago.

Talked to several of the older members of the northern community in the (g) Cypriot dialect which was nice. Many of these people had been displaced from Paphos District.

It was however the nearest I have been to a police/military state. Loads of military camps and convoys of tanks and other military vehicles on the roads.

bill, we were very lucky on our day to the occupied areas, I didn't come accross too many police or army trucks, however the army camps were very visible and threatenning. In our village our home is used as army camp quarters, however my grandmothers and her sisters directly accross the road were kept in good conditions and even beutified to some extent.

The Turk though at Apostolos Andreas who was suposed to be a police officer, was an utter cunt, to my mother when she approached him to ask where the toilets were.
