I was in Malta for a week-end about 2 years ago. Luckily it was only a week-end. There is not much to do and the beaches were the worst I have seen in the world. I actually went SCUBA diving one day. What a joke.
I did meet a very nice girl from Tunisia who was studying in Malta. We still keep in touch. I am probably going to visit her and her family in Tunisia in October. The people are very nice but that is about all the country has going for it.
