Thanks to Thomas ( @YesTheory ) and @nathanieldrew for coming along with me and discussing this story around the fire. Thomas told his story from the trip here:    • Inside the World's Most Luxurious Aba...  

I took great care to tell this story. There is so much pain wrapped up in it. And in this episode I could only tell one little slice of the modern day version of the divided island of Cyprus. But that's what series are for! there are three more episodes in this series and the next one will take a closer look at what this all looks like today. How it feels like to live on a divided island. Episode 3 will then go deep into the north of the island, talking to Turkish Cypriots and hearing their story. Episode 4 isn't that serious. It's about donkeys.
There's no way I can tell all the stories and if you are from this island you probably have a version of these stories that doesn't fit what I've told here. Please just trust I tried my best.
