We probably shouldn’t be reading them all. You may have one or more handbooks that can give you the information you need about parenting. This will be the information that is closest to you.

It’s worth noting that cooking them yourself you can use only natural ingredients. Another benefit - homemade sushi rolls are much tastier. It’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

What reserves do we have? Reserves of the body are huge, that’s why a person could last up to 70-80 years.

A human body retains the particles of dead cells, protein and fat mass. All this is deposited in the intercellular space, lymphatic and blood vessels. This garbage interferes with a normal functioning of all systems.
Winter during our time in Cyprus was mild and pleasant. Summer grass was scorched by the sun, but with the onset of winter everything was covered with a green grass carpet. It was beautiful! There was only one thing wrong with it: there was no heating in our apartment. It’s a norm for Cyprus. Perhaps in private houses the owners had installed individual heating. In our case we could rely only on air conditioners and electric heaters.
The car and local friends gave us a great opportunity to see places which are unaccessible to ordinary tourists. One day we visited a beautiful place in the Troodos mountains. It’s the largest mountain range in the island. The road to the mountains took about an hour. There was a recreation area in the fresh air among trees and greenery. Air was so clean that it was breathed in an unusual way. There were practically no people because it was a working day.
To reduce utility costs, some locals have the habit of spending summer in campings in forests. The air conditioning works almost 24 hours a day in summer. And of course nights in a forest are not so stuffy. Other Cypriots prefer to buy property closer to the Troodos mountains where it’s not so hot in summer. One day we were invited by local friends to visit their country house in Suna. It’s a very cozy and peaceful place 20 minutes away from Limassol.
We have a good practice of living in another country for 7 months. It was an excellent experience and a great pleasure. The climate in Sochi is similar to Cyprus climate. But in Cyprus summer is hotter and winter is warmer. We lived in Limassol. It’s the second largest city on the island. The first one is Nicosia, the capital. As for me, Nicosia is not so interesting place to live, it’s a place to work and to do business. In Nicosia it is hotter in summer than in Limassol. Limassol is the main tourist center and at the same time the most convenient city for families to live.
