Hello Malta
Currently having French Onion soup with bread and crushed black olives at a cosy vinotheque in St Julians. I have just arrived in Malta. My friend is joining from London in a bit and we're staying at the Marina hotel by the Corinthia beach resort. Our balcony overlooks the cliffs and the sea and several pools too. I feel at home already.
Haven't seen much of the island yet, only a bunch of white cube shaped houses with antennas, the sea and some stunning looking ruins during the taxi ride from the airport. Most efficient cab system I have to say. You queue up, tell your destination, pay the man a set fee, and walk off with the driver that takes you there. All you do then is enjoy the ride.
I know Malta used to be British until the 60s, and now there are a lot of young Swedes here working in the digital gaming industry. The nightlife is suppose to be great and we live 10mins walk from all the bars and clubs. Knowing I have six days to explore with my best friend makes me feel so happy right now.
I spent the Easter weekend with family and friends in Hudiksvall. My cousin came back from Africa after five weeks at an orphanage in Tanzania. Her photos and stories really moved me and I feel so incredibly proud of her. She is only 20 but sure has her heart in the right place. It was very inspiring for the whole family actually. I also threw a dinner party for my friends and had to go to the Swedish Systembolaget twice and stock up on Prosecco. Not once did I got asked for ID! That's a first. I guess I am finally starting to look beyond the age of 21. :-)
My mum and I drove to an outdoor art exhibition in the countryside before I left Sweden. It was super cool and I took lots of photos. Will post them as soon as I get back from Malta.
The onion soup is delicious by the way...
