I don't know if anyone really cares to know, but I will state it anyway, that this year is the 50th anniversary of my departure from Cyprus at age 9 years old.

Since then, the world has become my "country".

That's it!

Many happy returns? Is that a fitting wish in the case of a Cypriot expat?

I left in June 1963 from Famagusta. Over half a century ago, bloody hell!

Not sure really.

One lives the life they live and it is all they know, so at this point not knowing what kind of life I would have had had I never left Cyprus, I really can't complain of the life I have had being away from Cyprus.

Never lived in CY... born a Londoner, a very, very long time ago, in a London of people dressed in grey gaberdine coats, where City gents still wore bowler hats and others wore cloth-caps, a London with a dirty old river and of pubs that smelt of stale beer, a London of coal smoke and smogs and (would you believe even a few) horse-carts.

Sorry, I'm a cheeky mare!

Mr.Horses parents married in London in 1970, and as such he was born in Stoke Newington.
As he lived in Scotland in his childhood he caught a Scottish accent, thankfully he didn't catch orange hair and pale face

None of you actually live in Cyprus be it South or North yet you stick your nose into our business, hopefully you will all stay where you are and never return.

Oh we are going to return... Received with great honour and love. Cyprus and her true ancestors will be reunited, the true descendants of villages in the north.

No matter where we have been hiding we belong in Cyprus

Gosh....... Don't that sound epic

Still we all feel the bond.
I mean I can sense a Cypriot in you Kikapu, and BillC and Nikitas and FH, and VP.
I lived abroad for some time, lived most of my time in Cyprus though.
Didn't like it abroad, the only good thing about it is you can make lots of money easily.
In Cyprus EVERYTHING is difficult. It is an excellent place to live only if you are rich.
