I just realised your *conf* ticket is not free. Wtf is it with academic conferences - you're creating value for them by speaking! I hope you reach the goal very quickly.

Yes, that's why it's so costly for me! It's 400 euros the entrance even if you are presenting!!! Not to mention the airfare...

Heya, just wrapping up loose Twitter ends before a break. Congrats on getting the crowdfunder completed!! Do you need any other help? Legal; visa stuff for visiting the country; tips from people who used to or currently live in Cyprus; other unexpected money expenses; sth else?

This is the hotel the conference will be hosted:https://goo.gl/maps/KtGPFTga5ZS2 … … but it costs an arm and a leg. I found this one really close to and with a more accessible price: https://goo.gl/maps/rUWH3vZh2wt … … My question for locals is: is it safe for me walk alone from one to another?

OK, I'll ping a couple of people I know about both questions, feel free to add if you think of something else over the weekend.

I guess it depends what you mean by safe to walk. I'll try to give you more details so you can decide.

On the one hand, most people do not walk to places, but this is because there are no sidewalks/pavements and because (in summer) it is too hot to do so and because everybody has a car and there is no public transport.

On the other hand, I'd walk if I could in Cyprus BUT the distances are long (this isn't like London, where I live now where a typical walk wouldn't be more then say 20 mins max). AND the walk would be awful in many cases (no safe place to walk near cars, pollution maybe, etc.)

I think you're in Limassol anyway, but to give you an idea of why one might not want to walk...https://cyprus-mail.com/2018/12/14/living-in-air-polluted-nicosia-will-cost-residents-on-average-a-year-of-their-lives/?fbclid=IwAR1putxixBTZ4xf3-8FkFNnHF1WHVwHJWzyZMpUiHqFSoT3hkaH2JjmJZjQ …

Thank you for the link! I didn't know about the air polution...I'm trying to read all I can about Cyprus before the trip.

Don't read anything about politics, the green line, etc.
You won't be going to Nicosia anyway, right?

No, I won't. I've read a little bit about it :(

I can't really explain it in a few tweets because it's exhausting but pretty much everything online is wrong.
