I have had several visits to Cyprus in preperation of moving next year, and i would say as an outsider the British quite often make there own problems and one major problem is how they live.
If i can make a easy comparison, over here in the UK typically many of the Asians live in there own areas and the general opinion of brits is 'Bloody Indians, coming over here and taking over our areas, who do they think they are.'
Well it seems to me that the many (not all) Brits are guilty of the same thing and rather than mixing with the Cypriot population and becoming a part of Cyprus. They want to live in Little Brit Villages away from everything.
When we move we are hoping to live in a Cypriot area and live the Cypriot - Well thats what we are hoping.
Maybe if more Brits did this, they wouldnt get such a bad name for themselves.
