Last May, I successfully immigrated to Cyprus through WorldWay. Nearly a year of living abroad has allowed me to experience the lifestyle of this beautiful country and truly live in the moment. What impressed me most about Cyprus is the slow pace of life, whether in the city or the countryside. Everywhere I went, most people spoke in soft, gentle tones, never hurried or impatient. The most common expression I saw was a smile.
Small shops along the street sell various bird-themed handicrafts and oil paintings depicting local scenery, which shows the locals' love for their environment.

Although the shops are small, they all use the Euro. You can pay by Visa card, Master card, or cash. This is when you truly feel the convenience of living in a European country. The warmest words I heard were "you are our guest" and "all the best". Even if you have traveled thousands of miles to Cyprus, beyond the fatigue, your heart will feel very warm.
A cafe by the street, with a cup of fragrant coffee to start a wonderful day, is also a great reflection of the local leisurely life.
Almost every household in Cyprus has a lemon tree, and fresh lemon juice can be squeezed as the final step for every dish. The local area is not just home to lemon trees, but also vast orchards of oranges, bananas, cacti, vineyards, and olive groves. Many restaurants take pride in their authentic, homemade wine. Locals also go to olive oil processing plants themselves to press oil from their own olives.
【Cuisine of Cyprus】
Various juicy local fruits are made into dried fruit desserts by the locals, which have a unique flavor. Here, even the air is sweet. Barbecue is an essential delicacy for the locals. When three or five friends gather, they always set up a fire in the courtyard; this is the happiest daily routine for the Cypriots.
The local people in Cyprus mainly believe in the Orthodox Church, a branch of Christianity. Like Catholicism and Protestantism, they believe in original sin, salvation, grace, judgment, and eternal life. The solemn and majestic buildings in the city are mostly churches; every village also has a church, and you can see the cross from afar. Perhaps it is precisely because of this devout faith in the Lord that the locals are exceptionally kind. They are devout in their faith and respect traditional customs. They will take the initiative to help neighbors in financial difficulty, believing that good deeds are rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
