I was there on holiday a couple of years ago (on the cypriot side) and you can go to the top floor of woolworths (yes thats right woolys motherfuckers) and have a look through the telescopes up there. There is still washing hanging from some of the clothes lines, it really is amazing.

Interesting. It's hard for me to read the words "Turkish army" without laughing. I figure in the Turkish army they issue you a jar of vaseline first and a weapon as an afterthought.

I'm just speechless. This is seriously fucked up. Maybe we could use this same tactic to restore order to Detroit.

Jesus. That is so bizarre. You'd think that after 33 years someone would just be like, "Okay, dude...there's an entire city sitting there rotting for NO DISCERNABLE REASON. Let's make a reclamation plan, m'kay?" I mean seriously, how much manpower does it take to patrol in and around an abandoned city? It's the very definition of waste.
Oh, and don't forget to change your headlight fluid, ftw. The halogen stuff is the best.

P-Man, I dunno, I'll have a rental car, but really haven't thought out much aside from fishing, going to the nature reserve on the island, and snorkeling. I suppose I should find something else to do, seeing as I'll be there for 8 awesome days.

That makes me really REALLY want to venture into that city b/c it's forbidden. I'm a rebel like that.
Will the Turks shoot you upon sight, or simply arrest you? I need to know this before I find that dealership, grab a set of keys, and go joy-riding around THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
------------
Well I think they arrest you. But uh, I don't think any of those cars would.... ya know.. start.

haha- be nice particle man, she's just a women. You know they don't know anything about cars.
I'm going to go recalibrate my Exhaust Manifold now, I'll be back in a bit.
