Quite the contrary, I've found perfect happiness in a fusion of the two cultures... and I'm also quite happy with the body and mind I live in, so it seems your suggestion was somewhat misguided.
As for your first group, unless living in British enclaves, they usually end up isolated in foreign societies and regarded as arrogant Brits. I speak from experience having lived in four countries and seen how some Brits refuse to adapt to the lifestyle and culture around them... it's the Raj mentality transplanted to the 21st century. If that's the life you seek for yourself, you're welcome to it. I'd much rather be a happy mix of English body, English-Cypriot mind. |
Good for you. Congratulations.
BTW, I too have lived in four countries. |

Canada (for a year), Gaza Strip (for 6 months), France (for 6 months) and America (for a year). I've also spent short periods ranging from 4-8 weeks in about 10 others (excluding holidays) |

| Ive seen more cochroaches in england than i have in cyprus! look if you keep your place clean then they wont bother you. their attracted to dirt and mouldy food. so when its hot dont leave food out and you'll be fine. make sure you keep your place clean bcoz its easier to keep them away than to get rid of them once you have them! |
