History of Cyprus

The name


The metal copper is named after Cyprus. The Romans called it aes Cyprium, the 'metal of Cyprus', which was shortened to cyprium and then corrupted to cuprum. The ancient Greek word for copper is chalkos.

Great things about Japan.

1. It only takes 15minutes to open a bank account.

2. You are only 10minutes away from a good restaurant.

3. If you ask someone for directions, they might even take you there.

4. If you go to a restaurant and they tell you the soup will take 5minutes, not only they will say sorry 100 times, but will also give you a 10% discount (without you saying anything).

Please feel free to add more in comments .
