Thomas Cooper

Mason Jackson
>how's life in malta?
I've been asked this a lot here yet I am never sure what to answer. What do you exactly mean?
>Not too many tourists?
No, we got a lot but not in my town though now that summer's over I think their numbers go down a bit.
I know there was a parade of some sort this morning at Valletta and I think there was the posing of flowers at the Independence monument by high authorities.
Many people on social media seem to be seeing this day as null or a joke.

Why?
Asher Russell
> What do you exactly mean?
i think people mean whether it is special when compared to other countries, is food expensive, is the climate too hot, are there any specificities of the life on an ialsnd or is there no difference with the one inna random suburb since people stay at home.
since people from malta arent numerous on the internet people are interested in the local lifestyle and culture
Ethan Nelson
also i forgot a friend of mine is interested in studying for a couple of years in the uni in la valletta. Is it good?
Ian Edwards
They say that we lost our independence when we joined the EU, and also lately due to the government's policies regarding foreign investment and foreign workers and all that; saying we're losing the country to foreigners.
I'm not good with open questions. Regarding climate it's a warm one, in fact it's impossible to snow here because our atmosphere is never cold enough. Food's price, I can't really tell you
about that. I think it's decent? I don't currently buy stuff so I can't really tell. What makes living on a small island good is that nowhere is far.
The Valletta campus? That's the University's original campus. Nowadays it's main campus is at Msida. There's also another one in Gozo. I mean, I didn't study there but I've never really
heard anything bad about it though something I don't like is that it's too theory oriented.
Thomas Ross
And there's another campus in Marsaxlokk as well.
Jonathan Harris
There are many Yugos there these days

oh yeah you can also go from an island to the other in a couple of minutes through boat right?
we dont have that here except if you wanna go to the frioul or another part of marseille
Jeremiah Morales
Shh not here kek.
>oh yeah you can also go from an island to the other in a couple of minutes through boat right?
Yeah the ferry system takes about 20 minutes to go from Gozo to Malta. One problem about the roads
though, traffic everywhere.
Noah Long
>not here
EVERYWHERE
Elijah Wilson
>tfw your oc gets used against you
Is all of that worth the hassle though?
Wyatt Scott
Happy independence day
Dylan Bennett

Landon Rodriguez

Christopher Davis

I wasn't even mad, that's the thing. I started "raging" our of boredom kek.
Noah Turner
Ik breh but still
Robert Sanders
>tfw there is qt Catholic maltese girl with long dark hair in my campus
>First person that I had a proper crush on in years
>But she already got a boyfriend
Damn..
What can I do Malta bros, how can I make this girl leave her boyfriend?
The sad thing is they seem to have a nice pure realtionship too so I feel like a huge dick for even thinking about it.
I feel like I could have been with her if the guy wasn't there too cause she has given looks at me a couple of times and then Quickly looked away when she realised what she Is doing .
Nathaniel Butler
Oh well. I'm leaving for dinner now.
>how can I make this girl leave her boyfriend?
That's not nice. Our largest diaspora is in Australia so I'm sure you can find another one.
Gabriel Reyes
Ahh shit I wouldn't be so sure about that
Luke Sullivan
I saw malta clearly when I flew over it it was smol and cute and disappeared after a minute
Jason Wright
>we're losing the country to foreigners
Malta has changed a lot though. Full of people from all over Europe and refugees.
Jackson Reed
I too wish I had a Maltese Catholic gf. I think you've told me your story before.
:D
I know. I agree with them.
Xavier Cook
>I too wish I had a Maltese Catholic gf. I think you've told me your story before.
its doable right? most of your population is catholic, if one tries to speak to them it should work right?
Anthony Nelson
It's not all bad but you should be wary of over development. The public transport is quite decent these days but you really need to figure out what to else to do about the car problem. Air quality is very bad in places.
Oliver Gray
>its doable right?
>if one tries to speak to them it should work right?
.....
It's getting pretty bad, especially with the authority and the media's seemingly never-ending boner for foreigners. For muh money and muh cosmopolitan Malta, we're ruining this place.
Luke Walker
I couldn't believe the difference when I visited recently. I hadn't been to the island in nearly 20 years.
David Rogers
Damn greed. They'll never get my vote.
Aiden Phillips
Labour are in power at the moment aren't they?
Are the national party better? I don't really know much about your politics but saw quite a heated debate about the journalist that got blown up.
I really think the overdevelopment is worse than the foreigners personally, but then again it's foreign workers driving up property prices and causing the overdevelopment, so the end result is the same.
Liam Cox
>Labour are in power at the moment aren't they?
Yes.
>Are the national party better?
No.
Like you said, it's the increasing overpopulation caused by this influx of foreigners that causes several problems.
