FOR STUDENTS planning to start IGCSE courses this September, now is the time to choose which subjects to study — and decisions need to be made with care.

IT’S NO easy task being married: it’s got to be one of life’s truly bittersweet experiences. What starts off with a fierce romantic passion, rarely survives the grinding ordinariness of living day after day, decade after decade, with the same person.

Should I bring a car from Holland
Dear Sirs,
VIA Google I came across your site and it seems to me perhaps you can help me with the following questions or point me in the right direction.
My parents (who live and work in Holland) recently bought an apartment near Larnaca which they intend to go to for a number of weeks per year. Now they would like to have a car in Cyprus and have the following options:

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
