The American War of Independence was as much a revolutionary war against British rule as it was a civil war fought between friends and family. Although rarely viewed as such, the revolutionary war not only split families, it split trust...
I wrote a piece a couple of months back swearing never to monetize my blog. Well, having just received a whooping 200 Euro bill from my ISP (we have a contract where we add new sites with no extra payment) I now see the wisdom of monetizing a...
It’s happened a few times on social media, where I’ve posted something or commented on someone else’s feed and there’s been a response, but not so much to my comment or post, but to the fact I live in Cyprus. “Not...
Our decision to buy an apartment is based on two guiding thoughts. (1) We cannot get a good return on investment via any Cypriot bank. (2) In a few years time we will want to downsize for our retirement. The most important of these two is our...
