On the way from Limassol to Paphos there is a legendary place for Cyprus - Petra tou Romiou - or the birthplace of Aphrodite. Thanks to this goddess, Cyprus bears the title of the island of love and beauty. According to one of the legends, Aphrodite appeared from the foam that formed off the coast of the island of Cythera, but the breeze, by the will of fate, brought this foam to the shores of Cyprus, where the goddess herself appeared, which is why she is sometimes called Cyprida. And the name Aphrodite comes from the Greek word "afros" - "foam". Now this place is considered an object of pilgrimage for all those in love or looking for love from all over the world. And many rituals are associated with it to attract love and beauty.

How nice it is to be in your own home! As the proverb says: "Away is good, but home is better." This is true, any person probably feels much more comfortable at home than anywhere else. You can come to visit someone, where there are a lot of all kinds of entertainment and games, but after a while a person will begin to miss his home.
I was convinced of this yesterday, when I went with my parents to visit their friends. The house we arrived at was very interesting. First, we ate delicious food, I was treated to a cake and introduced to the children of the owners of the house. We went to the children's room, two guys, a boy and a girl, showed me their toys and let me play, we played all evening, it was a lot of fun. There were also many animals there: as many as three cats, a hamster and a dog! These people love animals! The cats are very friendly, they behaved well when I took them in my hands and stroked them, then we played with them, the cats ran all over the house. The hamster we fed was very funny. In general, it was very interesting and fun. I really liked these guys, we became friends, and I promised that we would definitely come again. I felt very comfortable in this house. There is someone to play with, because I have no brothers and sisters, and here are two new friends!
But while the adults were sitting at the table and talking, I suddenly felt somehow bored, the house was fun, but very noisy, and I was tired of this. I told my mother about this, and I was offered to lie down and rest. When I was lying on someone else's bed and I was not comfortable in someone else's room, the bed seemed to be comfortable, but for some reason I could not feel at home. I really wanted to go home.
Finally, an hour later, my parents said that we were going home. I was sad and happy at the same time. I did not want to part with the guys and cute kitties, but I really wanted to go home. We said goodbye to everyone and went home.
When I found myself at home, in my own room, I realized that nothing could be better than my own home, bedroom, native bed and pillow. In his house, even the smell of some more familiar. Indeed, “at a party is good, but at home it’s better.” In whatever beautiful and cozy place a person is, he will feel truly comfortable only at home. At home, you can do whatever you want. At a party, you can’t climb into someone else’s bed without asking or take a look at a beautiful vase. And at home you can take everything you want, sleep where you want and do as you like. The native home has its own special atmosphere, in which a person always wants to return, wherever he is. With these thoughts, I quickly fell asleep, covering myself with my favorite blanket.
Option 2
Actually, I was convinced of the veracity of this phrase ... Many people told me, they say, it’s better at home. But I've always had a hard time believing. How can that be? You go to visit, they meet you there, tasty food, entertainment ... And at home - only business, business. One must do this, then another. Not a free minute! At home - a routine, everything repeats, everything gets boring. But at a party and a new place, and food, and just everything.
But somehow we were visiting for a week. They ate delicious food and walked around. There was plenty of time. At home, you would clean in the evening, but here you can just watch TV, read. And it was all very cool. But already on the seventh day, she began to miss home. And I think, why am I sitting here when I would have done so much useful things at home. And already the food is not so tasty, already the entertainment and walks are not the same. I want to go to my yard, my native park. And how glad I was to be back home! All the usual little things were very happy. After all, we ourselves create our own home - every thing has a story that, perhaps, only you know. And you don’t just know (they can tell you this at a party), but you felt it. And you can’t say that I felt bad at a party - quite the opposite, but at home it’s much better!
It is clear that the routine is boring, that it is necessary to be distracted from it, but you cannot completely leave your house. By the way, you need to knock down a little routine sometimes. Cleaning every Sunday is boring. Well, somehow not to do it, that is, to transfer it to another day. And you can also knock down the routine just by going to visit, in order to appreciate your own more. And it's good to host guests! Even let them say that you are fine, but their houses are still better. It must be so, otherwise they will remain with you. I don't think this is in your plans.
I understand that it often feels like the neighbor has a better house or whatever. But your own, even if it is not the most-most according to the general opinion, it should be native for you. And if you really liked something at a party, then you can do this at home too - exchange of experience!
Often this phrase is said by guests when they leave. They seem to apologize, they say, it’s very good here, thanks and all that, but at home we have relatives - it’s better.
And in the end, this is a very positive phrase, because it’s good there, and even better here. Good for positive thinking! And no one else is offended, which is why I now often use it.
