Because of this the immigrants thought they would find the same culture in Cyprus but un fortunately they are wrong sorry guys, but we have taken the Cypriot tradition with us hence the name calling of Charlie lol. The Greek Cypriots don't even know what that is or why they call us names and above all the most funniest is that they think we are funny? LOL come on get off your high horses please LOL.

Kindness of peoples hearts they will not call you the bad names which you deserve.

Why are you proud to be Cypriot?

I guess I can't respond to this can I? :lol:

I’m proud to be a Cypriot for many reasons, but the most ancient are the most important…

1. Cyprus is the birth place of European civilization, with ancient Choirokoitia dating back to 7000 BC:

2. Cyprus is the birth place of what is today called the “Greek” alphabet:

…that evolved from one of the most ancient scripts in the world…

3. Cypriot merchants from the land of “Alasya” mastered the Mediterranean waves to trade with the great pharaohs of Egypt and the entire Eastern Mediterranean shores at a time when the rest of the world didn’t even know what a boat looked like!

4. Cypriots, were the first foreign messengers of Christianity to Europe and other areas:

Acts 11:20: “Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.”

Acts 21:16: “Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.”

Isaiah 23:1: “Wail, O ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbor. From the land of Cyprus word has come to them.”

Ezekiel 27:6: “Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.”

Acts 4:36: “Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement),”

I'll post more later on...

Yep they sure do!! That's why when I was over there I usually kept my self to my self. Also be careful what you say to people. :-)
