Siga Siga

Siga Siga (Σιγά σιγά) means "slowly slowly" in Greek.  The Cypriots use this saying as a reminder to take life slowly, and enjoy things.  This sounds like a good plan for us!

So far, we LOVE Cyprus.  The Cypriots are consistently warm and easygoing people.  Even our neighbors who appeared dour at first lit up when we took the time to say hello (yassas) to them, and everyone has been warm and kind.  Although they are generous about letting us practice our Greek, many people have good English.  But we have already had several occasions where we have needed to communicate in Greek, and here's a warning: it's like those Cypriots have a different word for everything!


We plan to post pictures and stories here to share with friends, so check back often, or use the "follow by email" button on the top right of the page to receive updates in your inbox as we write posts.  Please do let us know how it looks from your end, or if there are any technical issues - and do comment freely, and ask questions.  Stay tuned for food, home, culture, and school updates to come.  We love you and miss you madly!
