Cyprus was a really interesting place to visit because of its history. The whole week I was there, I'm not sure what I did more--sightsee, or voraciously read a history book. Nicosia (Lefkosia) is the last divided capital in the world and allowed me to "play photo-journalist" for a few days, alternating between the opulent, Cypriot South and the crumbling (in places) Turkish North.
