Na rynku pojawiają się różne odmiany Zivania – ta oryginalna jest robiona tylko i wyłącznie z winogron. Posłowie interweniują. Ziwania, ziwana (gr. ζιβανία, ζιβάνα; tur. zivaniya) – tradycyjny cypryjski napój alkoholowy, destylowany z wytłoków winogronowych oraz wytrawnych win z lokalnych szczepów Mavro i Xynisteri. Zawartość alkoholu wynosi ok. 45%. – taka definicja cypryjskiego trunku jest…

[why-even-ask]

I headcanon J. S. Steinman as a Cypriot. And it works.

Aphrodite's birthplace is in Cyprus and we all know how much Steinman loves Aphrodite. You know, make him a Jewish Cypriot. His family might as well come to Cyprus during the Ottoman period (late 16th century onwards) or even the late 19th century.

It very much works. Look at him. He looks like some Nicosian you'd see in your uncle's kebab shop or something. Just some guy you'd drink zivania and KEO with.

Wanna read more? Click on.

I say he has a mixed family of Turkish Cypriots, Greek Cypriots, and of course his Jewish roots. I mean, Cypriots are kind of chill with religion; for example, the Linobambakis would have both Christian and Muslim traditions and celebrations. Nothing conflicts with anything, you just have a personal relationship with religion over there.

So, here's our favorite Jewish (and Greek and Turkish) Cypriot who worships Aphrodite.

[Using the "There's Something in the Sea" data to build a 'canon' background here.] So, he vanishes from the US around the late 1940s, right? Apparently, he had a friendship with someone for 32 years. Let's say that their friendship started around 1918. Steinman was known for his face reconstruction work at a young age, and it makes sense because it would line up with the First World War. If we say that Steinman took only a few years of education to get to that degree with extraordinary success, it would mean that he was in the US at least by 1914.

It means that, in the game (Bioshock 1 - 1960), Steinman is at least 65 years old.

And, well, building a headcanon here: Let's say that his family left Cyprus because of the British occupation getting stricter with taxes and even hinting at conscription if/when the war broke out.

Now, imagine him.

He still misses home during his studies. He complains about not being able to find zivania (Cypriot drink) to drink. His family sometimes visits Cyprus and sends him some halloumi cheese over. He even visits Cyprus at some point and brings some cattle bones from the empty fields over Nicosia, say, Kythrea. He has them in his student dorm on his shelf.

I mean, don't think of a city when I say Kythrea or something. Think of a village, a very small one. Imagine him growing up there. He steals from the melon fields of the neighbors. He knows which wild weeds to pick to eat. Hell, he even experiments with which herbs are good for healing purposes, as his grandmother is a village elder who people go to for that kind of stuff. He learns that the branch of pharmaceutics exists just for that. Then, though, his focus shifts to medicine. Most importantly, surgeries --face reconstruction and all that. He's around 15 or something, they leave Cyprus.

Now, it's around the 1930s. Steinman is well over 30 at the time. His family had gone back to Cyprus at some point because they couldn't handle the US. His father picks the field up, and his uncle and his mother are running the barns & farm. Sometimes when Steinman visits, his uncle asks him to check the health of the cattle. "I'm not a vet!" doesn't work for Cypriots, you gotta do what you gotta do, lol. He stays there for half a year as a break and thinks about staying and working there as a vet because he really misses home... but the Second World War breaks out. The Brits are trying to draft up people for the Cyprus Regiment to fight in Europe or Northern Africa, especially those who know English being very much preferred... and Steinman has to flee once again. He tries to take his family to come with him as well, but they refuse. They cannot part from Cyprus once again.

Hell, the Brits manage to "convince" his father and uncle to join the Regiment. His mother goes to the US to stay with Steinman because it's hard being so lonely there. Steinman is making good money but you know, his father and uncle are deep in the war already and were as stubborn as mules about not coming to the US.

By the end of the war, his father gets injured, and they get a residency permit for the UK as a "gift" or something. His father decides to live there because he cannot work in the field easily anymore. His mother follows suit. Only his uncle remains in Cyprus. Steinman is alone in the US again.

He also read about Cypriot mythology, by the way. He learnt that Cyprus was Aphrodite's birthplace and now he believes that it's all fate that he is the best face reconstruction surgeon. He believes that he should work with "beauty" as well, and starts worshipping Aphrodite in the private and takes up aesthetic surgery.

He briefly visits Cyprus every once in a while. It's not horrible, but it feels lonely as hell. At least he has his uncle still running the farm, so they hang out and all that. When his uncle dies in the late 40s, though, he permanently goes back to the US.

He's now over 40. He expects to have a feeling of home, right?

The US doesn't feel right, though. There's business, yes, but he wants a home. He wants a place he can belong in. He feels like he needs to erase his name and face off the earth to ever belong somewhere, which feels impossible.

Until... Rapture happens.

Does he miss Cyprus? A bit, of course. But he knows he couldn't have lived there. It's a memory, but quite a strong one. At some point, he manages to convince Fontaine to smuggle him some zivania. For Fontaine's surgery (the Atlas thing, you know), Fontaine brings him soil from the fields, some molohiya (a cookable weed also called Jew's Mallow), and crates full of zivania and a new brand: KEO. When Steinman asks what it is, he tells him that it's the new fad around Cyprus, established in 1949. It's good beer, truly.

And, well, Fontaine had brought him so much zivania and KEO that he doesn't run out of them until his death.

In partea greaca, veti gasi muzee interesante, cum ar fi Muzeul Arheologic si Muzeul de Arta Leventis, in timp ce in partea turca puteti vizita Moscheea Selimiye, o capodopera a arhitecturii otomane.

Limassol si Castelul Kolossi

Limassol este al doilea cel mai mare oras din Cipru si ofera plaje frumoase, promenade la malul marii si o viata de noapte vibranta. In apropierea orasului se afla Castelul Kolossi, un castel medieval bine conservat, care a servit drept sediu al Cavalerilor Templieri. Vizitati castelul pentru a intelege istoria fascinanta a insulei si pentru a admira arhitectura sa impresionanta.

Paphos si Situl Arheologic

Paphos, un oras situat pe coasta de vest a Ciprului, este celebru pentru siturile sale arheologice, care sunt incluse in Patrimoniul Mondial UNESCO. Aici puteti vizita Casele din Dionysos, Thesseus si Aion, care gazduiesc unele dintre cele mai bine conservate mozaicuri romane din lume.

Troodos Mountains si Kykkos Monastery

Muntii Troodos ofera o oaza de liniste si frumusete naturala in inima insulei. Aici puteti face drumetii si excursii in natura, admira cascadele pitoresti si explora sate traditionale. Un punct culminant este Manastirea Kykkos, o manastire ortodoxa cipriota celebra pentru icoana sa a Fecioarei Maria, care se spune ca a fost pictata de Sfantul Luca.

Ayia Napa si Plajele Sale Uimitoare

Ayia Napa este cunoscuta pentru plajele sale frumoase si pentru viata sa de noapte animata. Plaja Nissi, cu nisipul sau fin si apele cristaline, este una dintre cele mai populare plaje din Cipru.

O alta atractie din Ayia Napa este Manastirea Ayia Napa, un loc linistit de reflectie si frumusete arhitecturala.

Gastronomia Cipriota

Bucataria cipriota este delicioasa si plina de arome autentice. Nu ratati ocazia de a gusta mancaruri traditionale, cum ar fi souvlaki (mici de pui sau carne de miel), meze (o selectie de aperitive), halloumi (branza cipriota) si baklava (un desert dulce cu nuca si miere). De asemenea, incercati vinurile locale si lichiorul zivania pentru o experienta culinara completa.

Circuitele de Biciclete si Drumetii

Cipru ofera terenuri variate pentru iubitorii de ciclism si drumetii. Puteti explora muntii Troodos pe bicicleta sau puteti alege un traseu mai usor de-a lungul plajelor sau prin satele traditionale. Muntii Akamas sunt un alt loc superb pentru drumetii, cu peisaje naturale spectaculoase.

Festivaluri si Evenimente Culturale

Cipru gazduieste numeroase festivaluri si evenimente culturale pe tot parcursul anului. Unul dintre cele mai importante evenimente este Festivalul de Arta si Cultura de la Pafos, care prezinta spectacole de dans, teatru si muzica din intreaga lume. Festivalul anual al vinului, care are loc in diferite regiuni vinicole din insula, ofera oportunitatea de a degusta vinuri cipriote excelente.

In concluzie, Cipru este o destinatie de vacanta plina de farmec si diversitate, cu ceva de oferit pentru toti calatorii. Cu plaje spectaculoase, situri arheologice impresionante, peisaje naturale pitoresti si bucatarie delicioasa, Cipru este o alegere excelenta pentru o vacanta de vis in Mediterana.

          ⤷  『  "What? You act like you've never seen anyone spike their coffee with alcohol before." The poison of the day to spike his coffee with? Zivania, a grape-based liquor from his native Port Ormos. Although it would seem like a heinous combination, he was able to modulate an unpleasant reaction and enjoy the benefits; after all, alcohol dulled any jittery reaction. Whether Albedo would approve or not felt like a moot point. "Relax. We're all big boys here, aren't we?"  』

He hadn't meant to stare or give any impression of disapproval or other judgement at the sight of Al-Haytham pouring what he presumed to be some sort of liquor into his drink. At the very least he could tell such a flask from other substances, and indeed the scent was strong enough for him to catch it, which was what had turned his head in the first place.

It was a strong scent, but he wouldn't dare guess at its sharpness or concentration. He can, however, deduce by its scent that it is made of grapes, albeit not any grapes Albedo is familiar with. Undoubtedly a sub-species native to Sumeru. Hm, perhaps he could mention it to Diluc at some point, he supposes as a winemaker, the other would enjoy the new material to experiment with in a similar fashion to Albedo receiving or discovering new samples to work with. After all, Mondstadt's premier wine maker doesn't actually drink, and neither does Albedo.

"I haven't, actually." He murmurs, returning to shuffling his papers into some semblance of order before the comment about being 'big boys' draws yet another confused frown from him. He supposes they are both adults, if that is what the other is referring to, but what an odd way to phrase it…

"Though I must wonder what occasion has necessitated the imbibement of alcohol." A thought occurs to him, eliciting a glance towards the as of yet still flickering fire. "Could it be because you are cold?" At the very least he can understand that, even if Albedo himself has long since grown used to Dragonspine's climate and is not so affected by the ever present frost that seems to root many visitors to their spots, especially if they slip and land in water.

To be fair, even Albedo might freeze if he were to be here while wet. Come to think of it, he hasn't heard from Bennett in a while, he can only hope the boy had remained in Mondstadt where it was warm and safe, rather than attempt to venture up the mountain to find him. Not because rescuing would be an inconvenience, but because Albedo genuinely likes the boy and doesn't want him to get hurt.

"Perhaps I should fetch some blankets from the city or the nearby camp if you're suffering too terribly from the mountain's climate?"

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is my favorite singer. I really idolized him with some of the songs he delivered. When I listen to the song I always feel happy. Therefore, when I’m sad I will hear one of Justin’s songs.

Justin is a handsome and accomplished man. With blond hair, thick eyebrows, and a sharp nose that adds to my admiration for him. Besides, his performance in the music world is also very good. This was proven by the first time I heard him sing the song ‘Baby’ in a beautiful voice that made me wonder at him. Besides singing and having a handsome face, he can also play all kinds of instruments that I like, such as: guitar and piano.
