Malta is in many ways beautiful

Malta is in many ways a beautiful island but today I miss Scandinavia a bit. I like it when going to the corner store does not include waiting for the woman to finish talking to the cashier before I get to pay. I like it when the bus drivers are nice.

Ok there are advantages with the lifestyle here, the pubowners around my house shout a cheerful hello when I walk by and the owner of the already mentioned store chats a bit with me, genuinly caring. I love it that there is no rain even though it makes the place look almost like desert. To be honest I haven't seen a drop of rain since the beginning of June and that's a bit strange to me. I keep comparing it to the 20 good days of summer you get in Sweden. Compared to that Malta seems like an endless summer.
