Why is it so difficult to be Cypriot?

i don't find it difficult... it's no big deal.

Kudos to you, ZoC!

Why is it so difficult to be Cypriot?

It certainly would if it didn’t come naturally!

Here’s what being natural Cypriot is all about…

Today I was driving away from a bakery and heading home for lunch when all of a sudden the car in front of me stopped dead in its tracks to greet an old woman. She came over to the driver’s window and they had a conversation, and finally after 2-3 minutes the driver accepted a plate of something covered with a kitchen towel before saying goodbye to her and driving off, while I and a bunch of other cars behind waited!

As a typical Cypriot, instead of getting upset about this and sounding the horn I found myself wondering what they were talking about and fantasizing what tasty delicacy might be on that plate!

I even opened my window so I could hear better what they were saying just in case I missed out on anything interesting!

I don’t even have to do anything to be Cypriot… it comes naturally!

This is an aside from the actual discussion - (this is sooooooooooooooooo funny coming from you!) but private schools are generally prohibitively expensive everywhere.

If you can't afford it or have something against the state system, perhaps, 'home tuition' - I would advocate it Cheapsake huh!

I don't usually instigate thread derailments, but I am partial to the odd aside. For your benefit, I indulged.

As for "home tuition", you are clearly clueless. It can be far more costly even if one possess the know-how to surpass even the (above) average teacher. But, a mix of both is probably optimum, as the years progress.

P.S. Forgive my boldness, Bubbles; but, I don't like your new avatar!

You get easier to wind-up the older you get!
'Tis funny that you should mention my avatar as I changed it after laughing at one of your posts - and I thought it quite apt

By this, I take it you mean; "Why don't outsiders leave us alone when we declare what we are?"!

It's the foreigners who are confused. Not us Cypriots. Especially us Greek ones!

I like it. So there is room in your sentence for the Turkish Cypriots.

Oracle, I love you. I knew you would come to your senses.
