On Sunday, I went to the beach in Qawra; pleasant to walk on the rocks with sunny weather.

I visited Valletta, the capital of Malta. At night I went to Paceville and St Julian.s, a nightlife place with discos, bars, restaurants; it was really fun and interesting and very different from the night life in France.  I also decided to go and dance in a disco with latino dances.

Today was the last school day for one of the other three students in the class so we took some photos to remember them. In the second part of the course we watched a film named “White chicks”. English courses are very varied and interesting; we learn new vocabulary, expressions and grammar points and sound tracks or films allow us to discuss different topics.

In the afternoon, Tanya, the Accommodation and Welfare Officer of the school, explained to me a job to do with the accommodation section and I made a couple of templates for office purposes.

In the evening I visited Mdina and Rabat; Mdina is a pleasant city because it’s very quiet and the architecture is very nice.

In the morning, during the English courses we learnt a Maltese habit. At one moment, we heard someone arrive by car, and shout “Lampuki, Lampuki” …..  Lampuki is a fish and Sarah our teacher explained it’s a way to sell fish in the street.  In the afternoon, I went on with my work in the office. It’s funny because French is my native language but now I’ve begun thinking in English and I have to double check at time to be sure that what I am writing is in French!

It was a day with “experiences”.  In the afternoon,  I answered the phone twice - I know it’s not exceptional, but I’m pleased to have succeeded to be understood and take messages. Then, I  went in an estate agent’s office with someone that I met in Malta and who wants to change his accommodation.  It’s interesting to see how they set about it with different requests and to make a comparison with France. In the evening I went to Mellieha. It’s a special tourist town thanks to its closeness to the biggest sandy beach in Malta.  I also tasted Kinnie for the first time, a local quinquina and bitter oranges based drink.
