Day six: weekends - part one.

I skipped a few days of my "everyday diary" because of quite eventful weekends. Tip for the future: prepare 2-3 texts ahead in case there won't be enough time to write anything. Anyway, I had to tell you about a girl I usually hang out with, so this weekend wasn't an exception. She found a thrift shop nearby and wanted to check it out. We met in the morning with a plan to eat at the coffee shop across the street but on that street was a Ferrari parade. You can imagine how loud and crowded it was and all the cafes were fully packed. We are not into cars so we went to another coffee shop with less variety of food but excellent coffee and friendly workers. Luckily for us, the parade was done when we returned to the thrift shop. The unlucky part is the amount of clothes was even less than in my wardrobe. It seems, that she was determined to buy something which is why we went to the nuts shop where she bought a big bag of everything. Around 7 p.m. we went home, I had an invitation from a local guy to get a drink with him and his friend late in the evening. When I agreed to meet him in the company of 3 unknown guys I was a bit scared. My friends were joking it wouldn't finish well but the Cypriots are so friendly! We had a really nice chat with all of them we discussed differences between our cultures, what words in Greek or English sound funny for Russians because of similar pronunciations, we talked about jobs and snow and food and bars and even a little politics. The best part I felt free to talk about everything and wasn't tired to the end. Later on, some of them said goodbye and went home and my local friend suggested attending a techno party in the club. That was a completely new experience and a culture shock.
