... so many. The locals know about them but they try to keep this information for themselves.

Larnaca district, where Lazarus the biblical saint who Jesus resurrected from the dead, established one of the most gracious churches, where bells bellow just as they did a 1000 years ago. Is really one of the most underdeveloped of the main towns.

Its night time and there are lots of ...

... again of my childhood.

This little church is situated just a couple of miles from Larnaca, near Aradipou.
It is on the old road of Larnaca-Nicosia.
Difficult for me to recognize the area because the village of Aradipou has so much stretched out and it is as if it has been united with Larnaca.
Everything is so different now, I believe the church is found very near the industrial area.
I can't see the fields we ...

... today.
In Greece and Cyprus coach drivers can have lunch or dinner for free if they drive tourists to a restaurant - an agreement has already been made of course. I believe every driver has specific restaurants that takes the people.

... in the world for the Muslims and the first most important religious place for the Turkish Cypriots.

It is actually the only surviving Arab monument in Cyprus, built in 1816 over the tomb of Umm Haram, and was renovated taking its present appearance.

I remember traveling a lot –inland most of the time, through the narrow hard to be driven roads up on the mountains. We used to travel long hours to get to a destination that we now ...

... Terravision or even the one for discount phone sexlines.

I had to pay only a few more Euros to upgrade my experience and with it came free bag checks (which I don't do anyway so it won't get lost), free food and drink (I can eat something beforehand that tastes good), free everything actually (well, you do pay for it in the ticket afterall). An assigned seat awaited me (I can wait in line at Ryanair and get my exit row every time), though I didn't ...

Where Shopping is a Pleasure. Isn't that Publix's slogan? I found a grocery store called Billa where shopping may not be such a pleasure but their checkout stand can put you on a road to some. Now visualize the g rated checkout stand at Publix. All the "racy" tabloids are covered up because God forbid should someone steal a glance at Britney Spears sans panties. Besides, our magazines but a big black rectangle over anything worth looking ...

... Zivania, and I guess the best one is ZIVANA. Ask for it from the supermarkets there !!! When the time came to leave our friends behind everyone was so sad. I had the chance to meed nice people, and see my favourite place once more....till next time.
