some enquiries about cyprus

is cyprus dope?

do they have coffee there?

there is a new spot that is called Hot Coffee around 19th ... oh cyprus, not cypress

is it dope tho

the sign is dope; haven't had the coffee

they might have some do(pe)nuts as well as dope coffee

they just always seem to be closed when i pass by

what is the best wine to accompany a songbird?

cyanide wine

what about the damn coffee

is it greek coffee

in which case what is that

or is it turkish coffee

greek coffee

one lump or two (of goat feta)?

in which case does that reflect poorly on greek culture and consequently call into question the rationale for greek self-determination in kıbrıs xxp

or does it have its own autochthonous coffee tradition

they have trad coffee parlours next door to starbucks, it is utopia

the only coffee I had was a coffee granita though

wow i like it

i guess it speaks to the fraternity of all mediterranean peoples

yah we even ate at an italian place one night. sacrilege sure but sacrilege with vegetarian options

italian food is just as dope as cypriot food anyway

do they have dogs in cyprus in which case are they any good

there were some very dope dogs. the dogs in cyprus all seemed to be chained-up alsatians or little charming things which roamed the streets at will. we were very taken with the latter sort and occasionally alarmed by the former

tell you what though, cyprus is the land of the feral cat

maybe there are lots of rats and mice for them to eat?

they struck me more as the bin-raiding, tourist-charming type

doesn't sound very dignified but perhaps a paradoxical charm to that

they probably took prey as well. lean, hungry animals, able to ingratiate and destroy. maybe the best cats i've known

no compunction about home invasion, those cats

ive realised i know very little about cyprus altogether
is there anything worth reading about it?

not to my knowledge although after visiting about 10 important historical sites i have a better sense of its component parts. the argive, ancient greek and frankish periods seem the most interesting tbh although a thorough overview of its relationship to turkey would be useful. has bernard lewis not written anything
