Taxi. Have you ever been in an airport in Moscow? Have you ever survived the taxi drivers’ attacks at the exit of the hall? In Malta’s airport you can forget about these negative experiences: the organization of the transport is perfect. You wait some minutes in the queue and you pay a fixed rate that only varies with the destination. You can’t become furious over the negotiations of the price because you just take your receipt and sit down in the taxi.

Traffic. Tree days ago I returned from Moscow. I hope you’ll excuse me for my obsession with this problem but the difference of the reality is too great to ignore. One of the biggest problems of our cities (not only the Russian capital, obviously) is the traffic. 30 minutes on the Maltese roads have reassured me that car disasters have not become the inevitable norm in our time and age.

Colors. In Malta you can forget all about gray, dirty, cold colors. Yellow, ocher, blue and green will greet you as soon as you step on the island. It has a very comfortable atmosphere with warm colors and pleasant smells. The palms and sand remind you forcibly of the paradise islands that tourist agencies present in glossy magazines. Welcome to the dream!
