I start writing this blog in order to keep up all the memories I get through my - hopefully wonderful - stay on Malta. You'll figure out later, why I chose this particular name for the blog :).
My name is Peter, I'm 21 yo and I study International Relations at the University of Economics in Wrocław. I'm also a proffesional celloist, I'm interested in music, economics (obviously), football, politics and literature. I'm here with my friend Chris. He's 22 yo and he studies Computer Science at the University of Wrocław. He's a proffesional oboist, he's interested in music, photography and also literature.
It was his idea to go to Malta; basicly, he said "I would like to go to Malta for work'n'travel" and I said "OK" :). A few days later we bought our plane tickets through Internet and started planning the travel. It was 24th July, and we had our flight booked on 5th August. Therefore, we had some 12 days to sort something out on Malta.
We had of course no place to live and no jobs. It didn't scare us, yet we had to make an effort to make this problem disappear. Therefore, we registered ourselves at couchsurfing.com - a very popular website, on which people can meet other people from around the world by either hosting them at home or "surfing" on their coach (which usually happens to be a bed or a sofa). We also started looking for jobs through Internet - no success, actually.
On 2nd or 3rd August, one of the couchsurfers - Nicky Reiss - offered us a place for three days at her home. Also, a different couchsurfer agreed on taking us from the airport and hosting for the first night.
5th August came quickly. We had our bags packed, European Health Insurance Cards made, money changed to euros, roaming switched on etc. :) First, we took a plane to Luton airport and then went to Luqa International Airport in Malta.
First thing that wen through our heads when getting off the plane on Malta was: wow! this is hot!!! It was 21:30 (9:30 PM) and the temperature outside was 26C! Also, there were some fireworks next to the airport - we didn't know what they were for (a "hello" party for us? ;).
Our host, Karl, arrived in a few minutes and we hit the road to his house in Marsascala, south-east of the island of Malta. When we reached his spacious flat, we were just so tired we showered and were gone to beds within minutes. Karl surprised us by saying that the fan has to be on at night - why would it be? It's hot, but hey... not this hot...

Nice pint of Guiness at Luton International; the foam was like cream!
