I worry about Limassol.

Limassol is the least Cypriot city/town of all ... don't you think?

No!

Sometimes you have to actually do something in the name of progress and people need economic activity.

In my opinion, there is a lot more that can be done. Cyprus is ideal for Theme Parks and family orientated entertainment and tourism. It should have been made into something similar to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in my opinion.

The only problem I see are the Russians. I am sure some are good, but I just can't stand them. Has anyone asked themselves how a few managed to get so rich when only 20 years ago they were all living in Commy Style Flats?

My wife can tell you that....many ( and many of them ex KGB) robbed the state and then they started robbing each other.... .... the more ruthless ones murdered anyone who stood in their way and eg refused to hand over their hotel business. My late father in law who as a deputy minister under both Gorbachov and Yeltsin had a number of opportunities to mis-appropriate land and capital but that meant cooperation with some very bad people and he had morals and no desire to cooperate with them as he suspected he would end up dead of lead poisoning... others genuinely did it by their own efforts... I am told that Cyprus has been deemed neutral territory and that is why there are lots of wives and girlfriends and families down here as they are not at risk as being targets in turf wars masquerading as business deals...

Yes I know STUD!

Why do you think people as wealthy as they are with stolen loot from the Russian People won't migrate to places like the USA, AUS, CAN, or UK for instance? Because they are known to the authorities there and will be arrested at the border by our security services.

Some are KGB, high ranking Communist Party officials, mafia and so forth and they ripped off the State during Perestroika. And yes, some have blood on their hands.

The story your wife mentions is similar to someone I know who claims similar things. This guy is an ex Flight Engineer of the Russian Air Force and now works for a major Defence Company with Billions of dollars worth of contracts with the USAF, and RAAF.

Loving the Limassol architecture.
Slowly becoming a great city.

Nicosia not far behind.....
The Nicosia Limassol rivalry might produce some stunning results.

Saw this building just a few days ago and thought it was hideous.

They should demolish it.

That's nice Paphiti.

Anyway
Nicosia becoming more organized. For a small city thank Gawd it's moving away from the likes of Teheran, Athens and Kabul.
More city planing needed though.

And the winner is:

The Renmin Ribao building in China, also known as the phallic tower...

Just giving you my honest opinion Cap.

That was a really weird looking building with strange windows and these green plants sticking out of them.

Be interesting to hear from DT or GR about it because I thought it was real bad.

The previous building you portrayed from Limassol however was reasonably ok and a step in the right direction.

They’re bad but necessary. If a city is to modernize into a capital center it needs office space.
