You'll like Victoria, I think. Vancouver is a little bit TOO urban.

Vancouver sucks! I sometimes see it on a LAPD-like cop program… drugs, hookers, immigrants, etc... definitely not for me.


I avoid the place like the plague! Too American, IMHO.

When we were looking for house ourselves stopping near GC houses and looking inside if it was suitable for us. In many of the GC houses there were toys we fancied and would like to take but everytime we asked our parents if could take what we wanted they warned me and my 2 sisters that it's illegal to loot anything from the GC houses. Neither my parents nor I and my sisters touched any of the GC properties.

During the combat of 1974 our house in Çağlayan was heavily damaged. We were granted a GC flat in Karaoğlanoğlu. We lived there for 2 years and returned to our own house when it was repaired. The GC flat we were temporarily granted was empty, btw.


This is a point that Deniz has made, too. It seems that initially people were under strict orders not to touch any of the belongings in GC homes.

It is not just orders, it is a bit of Cypriot culture to feel uncomfortable with other poeples' belongings.

And I always thought it depicts you after a few dozen tinnies... :lol:

and your avatar looks like something discarded by every female on a monthly basis... :lol:

That must be the biggest insult issued to a Canadian ever! :lol:


No GR this ain't the biggest insult at a Canadian...The biggest insult is calling Canada not a nation but misfit wannabies just occupying land...as to what some smartasses in this forum lead us to believe regarding who we are in Cyprus....Now thats an insult to which I do not prescribe...
