First Weekend in Cyprus

Saturday September 12

Jayne and I went to Starbucks as she wanted to go there to go on the internet. We found out that the internet there is free. (Actually, when we stopped in on Thursday, I asked was told this.) this is great, as it saves money.

When I was here 2.5 years ago, it cost 1.50 per hour. So, in other shops it should be around 2 - 2.5 euros an hour. (I’ll find out when I stop in to be curious.)

We took our computers spent about two hours there. Since it was Saturday, there was a lot of people there. If we go during the week in the morning, there would be few people there.
I called Clive to tell him of Jayne’s new cell phone and we said our goodbyes.

Sunday September 13

Jayne didn’t want to go to star bucks, so I went by myself. I suggested that we go in the morning there, and in the late afternoon go to the beach.

I wanted to get some work done - setting up an internet business. Since Yainnis’ office is closed today, I thought I could go to Starbucks. (In fact, Yiannis office was closed most of the day yesterday. It looks like I’ll have to use Starbucks on the weekend.)

What would be interesting is, to see what I’ll be paying Yiannis and compare that to Starbucks. When I was there today, I spent 3 hours there and during that time I had once coffee, one whole-wheat chocolate chip cookie and one fresh orange juice. This came to 8 euros.

If on the street the cost for internet cafι is 2.50 euros and Yiannis charges me 2 euros, that means for three hours I would pay him 6 euros. So for only 2 euros I get all this to drink, it would be better at Starbucks. If the regular cafι is 2.50 it would mean for only 1 euro I would get all these drinks (since, like I said, Starbucks is free).

When I left Starbucks, there were 10 of us with computers there.

When I got home, Jayne didn’t want to go to the beach. Later on in the afternoon we took a walk to the bakery to get some sandwiches.
