It really depends on where you go, I know of a bar in Nicosia that is charging £3 for a "pint" (not even a real pint) of Carlsberg. In my locals bars in protaras it's £1-1.50...

Oh and don't worry about the meeting guys part..... they'll be all over you within minutes of arriving on the island.

If ya get bored of all of'em ya can give me a pm

Agree with the dress sense comment above.... any1 remember the time when the "fashion" was tight white pants, tight red top with the compulsory massive chinese symbol all over the front complemented by red trainers.... groups of guys walkin around like that, was hilarious

I am russian and i will appreciate if you would explain...
and if it will be funny - thats great !!!

im sure lots of russians visit the place may be some of them will be interested too ...

really looking forward to find out what people living on Cyprus are thinking about russians ?

ps: why dont you say where are you from instead of "eastern europe"? arent you proud of your roots? no offence mate, just wondering what drives this kind of people?

I am Latvian. and I am prud of it

I said it because everyone automatically assumes that Eastern Europe=Russian. Even if you dont speak and dont understand Russian, people think You are Russian... Believe me, I know what I am talking about...

And -no, I don't have anything against Russian people

Anyone remember the tight spray on jeans with a slight pine stripe, bob marley tshirt and espadrills? That was a sight and a half!

AAaaaaaa, great twinkle!!!!

As for the night's out, I will also comment that it all depends on you.... how much you drink, how much you eat.... Talking about Nicosia and Limassol night life that I know pretty well, a normal drink like vodka orange etc, will cost you from 3 to 5 CYP at mainstream places, though I had a few of these both at higher and lower prices.... Eating out.... except McDonalds, pork kebab costs from 1.50 to 2.20 CYP, steaks at good steak places cost from 7-8 to 10-11 CYP... You also have the option to cook yourself... As for clothes' quality, if you shop at main street shops and not at discount stores you get more or less the same quality as in your country.
