  • Those are 7 weird and uncommon things about Cyprus. These 7 facts are interesting for people that want to move or travel to Cyprus, but also for everyone that already lives here.
    Join me on a sunny day in CY and let me show you some things that you didn't expect. The things are very funny, cute and weird. So make sure to watch until the end!
    I summarized those seven strange things about Cyprus because I think a video like this also interesting, given that I have many other videos about Cyprus too.
    I hope this video is helpful for you and that my channel helps you in general for anything related to Cyprus. If so, definitely leave a comment and let me know.
    I'm happy about every comment and message from you.

    Nice Vlog, Ricco! Yeah Paphos and outskirts are my favorites on the island. Limassol is a hopping place but it’s quieter in Paphos and more relaxed. Not to mention the awesome amount of historical sites that are within the town.
    The other maybe weird thing is the amount of weddings that take place. Since many people know each other, the locals feel obligated to attend weddings and giving out money or gifts. They have to budget for that each year. Well maybe not a weird thing, but certainly it’s the generosity of the Cypriot people

    • @Rico
      @Rico  Před 2 lety

      Hey Andre, thank you. Yeah, I agree with you, that's why I moved to Paphos and feel very good here.
      And yes, I know it from first hand, my accountant also attends so many weddings, and they really put a lot of effort into that.

    If you see a building with steel rods sticking through the top this is because VAT at 19% is payable on a new property only when the building is finished. These rods are for the next floor that has yet to be built. It's called Tax avoidance and is legal. Even if you build the the next floor the process can be repeated.

    Hello.i can say only you should check place before you go there,driving on other side not like in Europe is not weird and is not uniqe.Also in Malta is same style od driving,well about petrol stations ...I will say is kind of SERVICE to clients.Why? Because how you say is not Germany-germany dont need to make "fight" for every clients who pass by..Different between germany and cyprus is that there on cyprus you dont have any other source of money-only tourists.There is not fabricks or industrys.Germany have 700% bigger productions and selling-have mercedes,have bmw (which is world wide selling) so is perfect source to get money from.And much more other productions.On cyprus you dont have this so people are living only from tourists,which come and buy product fuel what you talking about.And is nice...Emagine is rainy day,you driving thru Cyprus and you need petrol so you stop on petrol station and you literally dont have to move even with finger or get out from car,because there is somebody out there who will put fuel instead of you.. Excellent service.Who give better service to tourist is winner.This is "a Fight" for every penny lets say..Reason why so many cats are on island is also for purpose to get clients respectively tourists-cyprus is very hot country and very little people knew the climat is actually similar to desert climat and there is chance to see snakes and lot of them,well cats are killer of snakes-so more cats around your hotel or residence means more safety for residential people(tourist)..And fire works is like every where sign of celebrating and it give nice feels especially if you are tourist-it give positive and nice feelings to return to this place once you are on holidays over here on Cyprus.All because the only and only 1 source of money to take from are tourists-only import system no export.what germany have a lot.In finale is not weird-just for people who have everything ready and dont know that situation what to do tomorrow without money is weird and not understandable..regard

I hope you choose better words in the coming videos .in Germany you come to the restaurant , you pay money and for a while they won’t even give you what you want , this is weird. Service is horrible in Germany . If I will make video about weird things in Germany , I guess I need years to finish the list
