The day after my arrival was the one I spent to familiarize myself with the town. I have forgotten to say that in Malta, the towns are too close that you don't know where you are if you are traveling through them. It seems that you are always in the same town because there aren't limits between them.
That day I was going to meet my Egyptian friend. I had to wait for him outside my residence and he would come there. While I was waiting for him, two girls came and asked me if I knew somewhere to have lunch. As I have just arrived, like them, I couldn't tell them a place. They told me that would live in that residence so we shared our phone numbers and they went to look have lunch. After a minute, Ahmet, my Egyptian friend, arrived at the residence and we two went to look for Cortes, my other friend. We three went to eat something and then Ahmet made us a tour. It was a really hot day and we ended up very tired. We were together all the day until middle afternoon. Then, each one went to their respective houses. I went to my residence and there I met who would be my new flatmate, because the girls who were living there, were leaving Malta that day.
As I told you before, I am going to describe you how was the residence. It was a big place, with a big place outside the rooms building with tables and chairs to sit there and be relaxed. It was the nicest part.
There where also a swimming pool but it wasn't as nice as the other place. The water was really hot and dirty. I think they don't clean in the entire summer. The only good part of the pool was that there where sun lounger to lie down and tan your body.
And, what about the rooms? They were small and quite dirty. There was a kitchen and a fridge, small too. The bathroom was tiny. You couldn't move while you were having a shower because the curtain was too near that it even stuck to your body!
The cleaning ladies came only twice a week and we didn't have something with which we could clean, not even a broom. We had to buy washing-up liquid to wash up the dishes.
The room was also too hot. It seemed a sauna. No air passed through it. The best thing was that we could cook our lunch and dinner and, for me, it was funny. I like to cook so I was always preparing lunch. We loved pasta salad so we ate it almost everyday. We also cooked potato salad, macaroni and rice. The best thing I brought there was olive oil.
Little by little, I was making friends because new people came to the residence and I also started my English course.
The first day, we did a level test and then we were told in which group we have to go. In my class, we were 5 people and I was the only Spanish. That was perfect because I didn't have the temptation to speak Spanish. The teacher was quite good and we didn't waste time in the classes. We talk a lot too.
Me and my friends visited lots of places: the islands of Gozo and Comino, Valletta, the capital, Medina, the old capital, Sliema... But the one that I liked more was the island of Comino. It is a place almost uninhabited. There were a lot of people because it is a touristic place. The water that surrounds it is completely clear and having a bath there is incredible. However, I was bitten by a jellyfish. It was really painful!
But, the best of everything I could see there was the nightlife. It was incredible! Everyday, streets were plenty of young people, wanting to have fun and make friends. Discos were free and music was good so it wasn't difficult to enjoy your evenings.
In my travel, I felt hot and I felt fear when I traveled by bus, because the bus drivers drove really fast. But I met a lot of incredible people who I still keep in touch with, I practiced my English, I spent really good nights in the discos and...I have a lot of photos to remember my nice days in Malta!
