Hi Paul
Welcome to the forum.
For me the attractions were the more laid back way of life(and still is) and the great weather.
After 5 years I don't regret it for one moment although there are things which irritate me and even some that get me really mad. The silly thing is t hat some of those things are actually a result of one of the things I love it. Thats is the laid back way of life
Trying to get things done when you actually want them done and not avrio (tomorrow). Avrio never seems to come
Everything is siga siga (slowly slowly). Then there is the other side of the Cypriots when they get into their cars. It is no longer siga siga, they are impatient, rude and downright dangerous when they get behind the wheel of a car.
In time you learn to accept these things most of the time but it still annoys me at times.
Having said that, as I said earlier I dont regret our decision to come here.
I love the country, the people and the way of life and have no intention of returning to the UK if I can help it.
Regards Veronica
