Malta

Ciao!

Last weekend Aaron, Erik, Spencer, Mike, and I went to the little island of Malta, not to be mistaken for Malta, Chicago or Malta, Maine.  But before we even start while we were walking up to our plane across from us there was a plane that was decked out with MTV scribbles all over it and a lot of security... If you haven't heard Jersey Shore is coming to Italy for the next season and should be here soon... Or are they already here?? I hope we run into them.

 The only way to describe this is a mini cheap Cancun.  When I saw say cheap, I mean that all the food and such were so cheap.  The same meal I could have got in Rome was almost 2-4 Euros cheaper each time.  The one thing that confused me the most about the country of Malta was all the stray cats that were running around?  Not to mention there was a weird creepy cathouse hanging out by our hotel (see picture) 

Malt was so much fun no doubt, they speak English mostly there so fitting in there wasn't hard at all.  Our hotel was right on the beach, and on January 28th it was warm enough to walk around in board shorts and a cut off... NBD.  

The night life in Malta is out of control, it was like walking from my house in Boise to campus (maybe a 10-15 min walk) and that’s’ if your always stopping.  As you come into the strip of clubs and bars, you see 100's of randos walking around cluttering the street talking all sorts of different language.  It was a culture shock like no other, never have I seen a full block of bars packed like this, not to mention all of the people in the streets.  Driving a car between that would have been impossible!  My favorite part about Malta was at the very end of the strip there were the heavenly gates of Burger King!! I've have only been here hardly a month and already missing American Fast food :( that's fine at the same time though, I've lost around 8 lbs, gotta love loading up on pasta, then walking until your feet want to fall off then eat one small meal to cap the night off followed by some gelato.... life is good!

Also to those who I told I was sending post cards soon HOPEFULLY I will have them sent out either tomorrow or before Thursday...
