one lump or two (of goat feta)?

in which case does that reflect poorly on greek culture and consequently call into question the rationale for greek self-determination in kıbrıs xxp

or does it have its own autochthonous coffee tradition
they have trad coffee parlours next door to starbucks, it is utopia
the only coffee I had was a coffee granita though

italian food is just as dope as cypriot food anyway
do they have dogs in cyprus in which case are they any good

there were some very dope dogs. the dogs in cyprus all seemed to be chained-up alsatians or little charming things which roamed the streets at will. we were very taken with the latter sort and occasionally alarmed by the former
tell you what though, cyprus is the land of the feral cat

maybe there are lots of rats and mice for them to eat?

they struck me more as the bin-raiding, tourist-charming type

doesn't sound very dignified but perhaps a paradoxical charm to that

they probably took prey as well. lean, hungry animals, able to ingratiate and destroy. maybe the best cats i've known

no compunction about home invasion, those cats

ive realised i know very little about cyprus altogetheris there anything worth reading about it?
― nakhchivan, Monday, 20 June 2016 18:09 (seven years ago) link
not to my knowledge although after visiting about 10 important historical sites i have a better sense of its component parts. the argive, ancient greek and frankish periods seem the most interesting tbh although a thorough overview of its relationship to turkey would be useful. has bernard lewis not written anything
