Cyprus could be finished in a few months guyz. The banks r all closed. This law wasn't passed. Cyprus won't get bailout from anyone since to the rest of the EU it's pretty unimportant. Cyprus loves Greece and this law applies on everyone in Cyprus (except Greeks) so Cypriots would have had to give their share but no the Greeks.

Cyprus' decision to join the EU is backfiring. The banks here will be finished in a few months. The opening of the banks is being delayed every week. People r withdrawing cash every single day and when the banks open (god knows when) ppl will just take all their money.

Cyprus might run out of Euros so it could fall out of the Eurozone and it would go back the Cypriot Pounds.

Every Cypriot's nightmares has become reality.This country is pretty much finished. They refused to accept the Troika's condition without really having a Plan B. Cyprus' only hope is that Russia saves it.

@manpe, We're doing Tallinn in Geography

[Backstreet09 499]

@NishC300 and how would Russia help Cyprus anyway ? They have there winter games coming up , they have invested hella lot of money there so I dont really think they have enough money to really help Cyprus or do they ?

@manpe, We're doing Tallinn in Geography

What is there to learn about Tallinn?

[NishC300 1,865]

What is there to learn about Tallinn?

generally it's positioning, how it originated on Toompea Hill. We were doing Europe so our text book has Talinn for a European Capital City. It explains how Tallinn is a really beautiful place for tourists,and that it has developed extremely quickly. They told us about how the old town has cobbled streets which r gr8 for pedestrains (there are maps and pics ofc). It tells how Tallinn's expansion has been planned really well as there are several forests and parks around Toompea Hill and the Old town. Also about how the major roads have been kept outside the old town.

Really is a beautiful place

Cars are annoying; they cost a lot of money, gas costs a lot of money, repairs cost a lot of money, insurance costs a lot of money. Then, on top of that, they're fucking dangerous.

For someone who has a family they are really important.

(to tag someone u can highlight their name on a post they have made and then click on "@mention". I'm not saying Russia will help Cyprus I am saying that it's Cyprus' only hope. Russia'll still have money to give to Cyprus. Cyprus is a small economy a few billion would be loads for Cyprus. The population here (excluding the North) is only 800,000.

Should I explain the thing that led to this in the first place? and generally the story surrounding the chaos that has been happening for the last few days. Also do u really think the winter games r more important to Russia than losing all the money they have here in Cyprus

Yeah, all of it is true. Did it also say how Tallinn has some of the worst roads in Europe? Very car hostile streets. And that half of the population is Russian.

Not really it says that Tallinn has cobbled roads from the Soviet Era (which it describes as a terrible time in Estonian history and it says that Tallinn has suffered throughout history from cruelty). It says the cobbled roads r in the Old Town where ppl don't take cars much. It says 3 million tourists visit every summer.

I'm at a crossroad in my life. It's time to let go of everything, my shame, my anger, my hatred, my sorrow. Till now I've been all of those things and not much else, my negativity defined my existence. I need guidance though, I'm not strong enough to do everything on my home, I need to something I've never done; ask for help. I look back at my life and realise I've done many things I'm not proud of, yet I struggle to recall the good I've given to the world, I've only taken. I must accept this as a fact, but I should not allow it to bring me shame. I can not change the past but I can control my future and that's what counts. I must accept my place in the grand scheme of life, let go of everything that ties me down.

Well, at 24, you are really just starting up. Take it one step at a time. Look at improving yourself as climbing a ladder where you start at the easiest, lowest sports and slowly climb up.

Sir! Good luck!

Ps: that breakfast could be the cause though :-)

You've shown great courage and strength admitting this to yourself and that's the first step towards turning your life around. Good luck.

In theory it is pretty straight forward - look at yourself and see what you are unhappy about - try to change that step by step. Also do give something back to the community you can do some volunteer work (in hospital, animal shelters etc) or simply start to regularly donate blood - gives you stimulus to stay healthy and constant thought that you've done something that WILL save someone's life. Start to train, see old friends etc. Plus 24 is just a beginning of something great - remember that.

Any family members you can talk to for support or close friends?

It all really occurred to me a few days ago. I wasn't helping myself, I was just escaping with alcohol and drugs. I wasn't even enjoying them, I didn't like how I acted or felt when in that state. I took a long hard look at myself and how I got here. I've been looking at my life in an entirely selfish way and I aim to no longer do that. A lot of bad things have happened in my life, but I was just looking at how they affected me and not realising that the same thing happened to those I care about. I'm tired of pity and self deprecation.
