Take seven: slippers

2007-01-07

A few weeks ago most of us were thinking about putting our winter slippers away for a long time along with our jumpers, coats and woolly socks. But I guess the weather decided to give us a break and voila, here we are facing winter. So, now is the time to pull out those slippers; but if you’re in the mood for a new pair, have a look at these.

Tales from the coffeeshop

THERE ARE quite a few Cypriot entrepreneurs doing business in Romania, which has an under-developed economy with immense potential. When visiting Bucharest, the capital of this former socialist paradise of ugly concrete tower blocks and abject poverty, they
stay at a five-star hotel in the centre of town, where they often bump into each other.

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.
