“Own property in Cyprus!” the billboard read. The image of a large beautiful villa overlooking the Mediterranean – with its sleek design and lavish garage space couldn’t miss many eyes. Greenery was everywhere. In the picture, that is.

“Hmm… I suppose so.”
Nobody talks in the car. Small talk is all that happens. Even that, propelled by ads on the streets.
