1. A mercedes is not a car, it's a Taxi.

2. Talking sounds just like arguing.

3. You walk around in jumpers when it’s like 25C....

4....but put your airconditioning to 15C and still find it hot.

5....the locals say Sighpruce

6. Not smoking is considered 'weird'.

7. Not eating meat is unthinkable.

8. You take a generator when camping (to supply your fridge, micro, TV!).

9. All women over 35 look 50.

10. You text message people sitting at the same table with you.

11. Your postman is also the waiter at your favourite restauarant

12. Police park on the pavement..to book you for a parking offence.

13. It's truly a task telling the difference between a pimp and undercoverpolice.

14. The translation of 'thank you' is......... "thank you".

15. The translation of 'sorry' is......."sorry".

16. The first thing a police officer asks you is "what does your dad do?".

17. The messenger/clerk of a Ministry can get you a job!

18. Your next door neighbour cooks "souvla" all 52 Sundays of the year.

19. The pick-up truck in front of you has charcoal fuming at the back..getting it ready for the time it reaches the beach!

20. You get scared as hell when overtaking!

:lol: This habit of Cypriots annoys me a lot :lol: Guess how loud is the noise in my internet cafe :lol: I sometimes wonder why i don't have such a "bad" habit as a Cypriot. Perhaps, i grew up alone in a very good natural environment where only the birds were singing, wind whistling, even dogs barking as if they were talking to me, sheeps bleating as if they were my mom :shock: :lol: , chickens crackleing as if they were my friends... :lol:
