At Expat Focus, we like to be on the lookout for resources around the web that could help prospective expats adjust to their new countries. Today, we’re taking a look at Cyprus and some of the blogs that might be useful for expats there.Our Cyprus Dream

Martin shares his thoughts on a country that is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle that takes some getting used to, not only as an expat but a Brit exiled from his favourite TV shows. Sitting by their pool, barbecuing swordfish steaks served with an avocado salad, he shares musings on life in Cyprus.
