Why TCs Prefer to Shop in the Free Areas may be they had enough time to appreciate being in a Country as opposed a puppet regime :lol:

Why does one go to London or Istanbul for shopping? same thing just closer.


...wait a minute, are you comparing Nicosia to London or Istanbul?


...indeed what is the difference?

What does the type of government or for that matter the weather have to do with how people shop, its bargins or alternatives which attract shoppersi stop trying to place political connatations on people who are jsut shooping they are not supporting your viewpoint or political stance. ıf there were bargins to be had on Mars shoppers would find a way to go there.

The TCs who were surveyed think there are a lot of differences: the freedom, choice and quality of shopping in the free areas. Even enjoying the feeling they are in a European country! I think it tells you a lot.

You are reading to much into it, think of it this way its like shopping in a foreign country but without getting on the plane to fly to your destination. Its the same for people who come and shop in the TRNC...what you are trying to do is play a silly game because your mind tells you that you have to be better than the north because you are in the EU and have milked the the recognition you stole from us for all its worth.
