It seems like the main reason anyone really comes to cyprus is because you can gamble here. There are a bunch of casinos all over the place and a really large proportion of the cars we see driving around are fancy sports cars. We've been quite slack so far and haven't done much touristy stuff so the other night we decided we'd go check out a casino (the only tourist attraction we know about in our area ahah). We walked because it was only about 1km away from our house and when we got close we saw there was a bunch of smoke billowing out of the top of the building, it almost seemed like it was a fire. When we got in we found out that youre allowed to smoke inside and literally everyone does but the room isnt smokey so I think all the smoke outside was literally just everyone's second had smoke being pumped out. w
We weren't really feeling it at the start because barely anyone spoke English and it took us ages to figure out how to get chips n stuff but we stuck it out and thank god we did because we had a sick night! There's tons of waiters roaming around and if you call them over you can ask for anything you want to drink or eat and they'll go off and get it for you for free!! We ordered a ton of cocktails and straight spirits and I also had like 5 fajita wraps. I had terrible luck and lost all my money ($20) in the first 30 minutes so I spent the whole night pretending to gamble and ordering as much as I possibly could. Even though I lost I walked away kinda feeling like I'd made a profit ahah. Spencer won about 50 bucks so he was even more stoked. I think for the rest of the trip we'll be going to the cas for a quick pretend bet and a free dinner :). Only thing that kinda sucked was that all the table games had $50 minimum bets so we could only play pokies and the automated roulette.

Had Arabic the other night, it was about $30 each to share that big banquet. Pretty expensive tbh but it was tastyBaca lagi
