Thanks for sharing about Cyprus! There were so many things I didn’t know about that place…pretty much everything because I didn’t know anything about Cyprus before I listened to the podcast.
Also, Jason, I think it’s funny that you hadn’t been to the cisterns in Istanbul! I’ve been to Istanbul twice, and I’ve been to the cisterns BOTH times!! 🙂
Cyprus is one cool place! We want to go back again! Next time you can come with? k? 😉
And yes, I know, Jason lived here 6 months… How could he have not!?
