    Does anyone know which day the banks are re-opening in Cyprus? I have'nt seen any threads about bank runs or massive electronic withdrawels yet?

    Should be interesting to see the reaction of people or the lack of reaction. I'm disappointed in the lack of looting so far from Cypriots. It's not really a social upheaval without at least a little looting

    I was listening to a news reporter a few hours ago who was saying there were 6 foreign journos outside a bank branch in Nicosia and no one else at all - no queues for the bank etc....

    3000 Euto limit to take overseas...and limits on debit & Credit cards while overseas...Cyprus is Argentina!!

    Mind you 300 per day x 5 days per week = 6000 per month.

    then jump on a galopie accross the 'mediterranean sea' across to whatever port you choose.

    I don't think they're opening until mid-day, although the way this has rolled out there will probably be an announcement at mid-day to say 2pm/tommorow etc. etc.....

    I too had expected to see pics of molotov cocktails by now, perhaps apathy is the way go over there now too? She'll be right mate :/

    They're probably in a communal state of cathartic shock.

    I reckon they will think stuff the banks and take out as much as possible over the next few weeks..... So it will be a delayed bank run...... But still a bank run.
