This small, island country with around a million citizens was a highlight of the trip. Not only because of the physical beauty that surrounds the country or its interesting history, but mostly because of the great people I met. I took a couple PHD courses at UT this Spring and became friends with Christina – she was born and raised in Nicosia, Cyprus and came to the US for college and is now studying in Austin. She volunteered to be a tour guide and invited me to stay with her family during her birthday weekend. I showed my gratitude by eating everything her mother put in front of me and adding 10 pounds of weight and an inch to my waistline.
