Im in Malta
六 5th, 2008 by emiliegu
It’s so suffering that I can’t type Chinese here~~
Malta is a tiny island on this planet that I’ve never imagined I would be on this spot one day.
Malta boasts romantic sea promenade, Mediterranean picturesque view prehistorical temples and architectures.
Our hotel is in Silema, a location not far from the sea. We can view the sea from distance in our room if we open the window.
Malta’s yellow buses are very interesting and they seem belong to melancholy time.
What’s worth mentioning is that buses never shut doors and at bus stops you can never find the routes and identifications of the numbers.Mysterious~
Christianity is the national religion and most local people are very sacred believers.
In buses you can see the slogans: Love is God is love. Holy is God is holy.
In some places of Malta, even the roads and public infrastructures are poorly-established,there are still so many Christian statues around the corners of the island. Cathedrals here are quite magnificent which are also contrast to the poor and ancient city infrastructure.
There are so many British shops in Malta and some local people told me the history of Malta.
It had been a British colony for more than 160 years before it was independent in 1964.Thus,thousands of British soldiers were based there for a long time.
At present there are still enormous nuances with British culture seen by the road,traffic,and what’s the worst, food.
We met lots of British who came here spending there holidays as the average daily cost is much lower than in Britain.
Luckily, as it was quite near Sicily, so it’s not very hard to find authentic Italian food with a reasonable price.
Since the day we arrived,we have not found many Chinese here.But still there are some Chinese restaurants in Silema and St Julians.
When we were on the flight from Italy to Malta, we found there were only two Asians who are from Japan.
Tomorrow we two rare Asians will travel to Gozo and Comino island. Comino is said to have blue lagoon and this island has only two official residents according to Lonely Planet. We will join them and become four.
