In our last two weeks in Cyprus our apartment building experienced a number of issues. These issues began with the ceiling leak in our apartment which after being fixed for a few days began leaking periodically every few nights. The leak continued up until the night of the 27th right before I began my flight home the following morning. The continuous leak in our apartment was not the only issue to befall our apartment building in our last two weeks as the elevators on both sides experienced various problems. These elevator problems culminated on Tuesday the 26th when as we were leaving to go out to a group dinner we over packed the elevator causing it to jam. Although the elevator had jammed on the other-side of the building before, the packed and claustrophobic nature of our Tuesday jam caused some of us to panic and try to pry the doors open. After calling down the professors we were able to pry the doors open enough using a car jack to allow everyone to squeeze out and the elevator was allegedly completely operational only about two hours later. I do have to give it up to the property manager Michael though who was always there to at least temporarily fix the leak in our apartment or the elevator that we definitely over packed.
