Friday night is Fish and Chip Night and if you are in North Cyprus, looking for decent North Cyprus Restaurants and missing your “fix” then Lokman’s in Alsancak is the place to go. They do get busy and we were asked if we had reserved a table but we hadn’t but they still managed to accommodate us straight away.
If you eat out in north Cyprus on a Sunday and have grown tired of ‘meze and something on a stick’, how about a Sunday roast? We have been going to Açmenya for many years and I have to say I challenge anyone to find better value. Three courses are still only 30tl, at today’s rate £6.35. The waiters are very attentive and they come with your drinks, a basket of bread and olives very quickly.
After a struggle, I managed to receive this email from TRNC Internet Service Providers Asscociation complaining that the crap internet service I was receiving was as a result of the monopoly that Turk Telekom has over the north’s internet backbone. In other words, Turk Telekom was saying to the north’s ISPs that if they don’t like the service then they could go elsewhere except there was no elsewhere. Doesn’t bode well for water and electricity or anything else when they become a Turkish monopoly.
A Ukranian pilot flying an Airbus A320 from Ataturk airport to Ercan last Thursday got into immediate trouble 10 minutes after take off when hailstones shattered the cockpit windscreen. It had been caught up in a storm which although it only lasted 20 minutes contained hailstones the size of eggs which left a gash in Captain Akopov’s plane and disabled its autopilot. The pilot turned around and despite the airport being closed because of the storm, he was given permission to land. Amazingly, he landed the plane ‘blind’.
I’ve been reading about a group of protesters who are trying to prevent hotels turning public beaches into their own private beaches, despite this being illegal. According to The Cyprus Weekly, protestors were attacked by hotel staff who ‘tried to take our camera by force.’
If property is the lynchpin of a permanent peaceful solution to the long-running Cyprus Conflict, then the framework and criteria the leaders present to their respective communities are crucial.
