In the evening, I went to the “Superbowl” in Paceville. It was the first time I won in bowling……………………

This is the end of my third week in St Paul’s Bay and I like the city more and more and am getting used to the ”Maltese life”. I don’t really miss my French life. What I miss the most is my family and what is funny is to be quieter than in France. It’s a good break to be alone for a short period of time.

It‘s nice having a big part of my afternoon free to go and visit some places that I didn’t visit during the week because of bus times. I went to St Julian’s and Paceville - I wanted to visit these town by day as, until now, it was only by night. And I wanted to go to Bay Street, a leisure complex that offers a multitude of services to shoppers and diners.

Beginning of my third week. I had an English lesson with a new teacher, Marthese, three German students (whom two I met last week) and one Estonian. It was interesting to compare Sarah’s and Marthese’s teaching. In the afternoon, I helped the school to prepare for the upcoming workshop at ICEF Berlin.

In the evening, I went back to Bugibba with a friend. I like this town with cafes, restaurants and I enjoy walking on the “Promenade”.

The time changed to winter time this weekend.  In spite of one extra sleeping hour, I don’t like this period, because the days get shorter and the nights get longer - it’s sad.

I decided to visit the market of Marsaxlokk, I got up early because I wanted to be sure where was the bus station and I knew the trip by bus was long. I enjoyed this place and it’s nice to buy some gifts, clothes or local products. As a person who loves food, I bought some cakes - I was particularly attracted by a lemon nougat but tasting it I was disappointing.

After the market I went to Bugibba to see a person that I met in Malta on the beach ; We watched a film called “Dark”, and we decided to go for a coffee to have a drink. Then, he showed me the “Love Area”, the place in Bugibba where lovers meet.

A place that I noted when I arrived was the Wignacourt Tower and I visited it. This Tower was built in 1610 by Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt and is the oldest surviving coastal defence post in Malta. Then, I went to Valletta to visit the “Malta Experience”: it’s an audio-visual attraction which can be listened to in 15 different languages; this show describes Malta’s amazing history. Then, I took the time to go and see recommended places in my tourist guide.

I have bought some figolli for all the people in the class, because I spoke with the two German girls and they wanted to taste a speciality from Malta. Greedy as me, they appreciated it too…….

During the working time, I worked on one the school’s databases.

In the evening, nothing interesting but compulsory things when someone lives alone (shopping, washing machine, cleaning) and I thought about possible activities to do in the next few days in Malta.

22/Oct/09

In the evening, I tasted a special cake in Malta called “figolli”. I was pleased as it’s the other speciality with Kinnie that I wanted to taste in Malta.

Then, I went to the cinema to see “Up”, a Walt Disney‘s cartoon. It was very nice and although I wasn’t motivated to see this cartoon in France, I don’t regret going at all.

21/Oct/09

In the evening, I went to Bugibba to buy some gifts and I saw where the cinema “The Empire” is and I’m motivated to go there one of the evening of the week.

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