Only 3 more days...

The people coming to Cyprus are slowly starting to pack their stuff and the members, who cannot make it to the Agora, probably follow closely all discussions on AEGEE's mailing lists going on right now. Surely, the Agora will be full of hot debates, a new CD and hopefully there will be a lot of sun ;-)
To give you a first impression of the location, where the most important event of AEGEE will take place, here is some intersting information. Lefkosia (Nicosia in English) is the capital of the Republic of Cyprus.
The city is located in the middle of the island of Cyprus- so unfortunately the participants cannot enjoy our breaks between the plenaries at the beach. Only those taking part in the post-event will have the pleasure to relax at the sea in Magusa after an exhausting Agora. However, there are some other pleasures waiting for the participants, too. Lefkosia offers a wide range of beautiful architecture. Generally speaking, in the northern part there a couple of impressive mosques. The southern part has some nice cathedrals and old buildings telling us about its 1000 years of history. The ancient city center is Ledra Street and is Lefkosias main shopping street nowadays. It is surrounded by bastions and a city wall. One of the old city gates, the Famagusta gate, is used as today's cultural center.

What will be interesting, especially for the participants, is the weather forecast.

As you can see, there are a lot of question marks in the clouds - hopefully this means, it will be sunny with some clouds during the plenaries - I hope it is not a sign for not giving answers the network is waiting for.
