So yeah.. It's over. It was a great experience but now I'm happy to be home. But let me tell you about my last week.

On Monday we we were chilling with some friends because it was their last day in Malta. So we went in a restaurant together and had a happy "goodbye". We were also sleeping really early because everyone of us was really tired.
On Tuesday we decided to go to "Café del Mar" which is a pool directly in front of the sea. So we had to take a cab and we drove for half an hour (so we almost passed the whole island from the right to the left). It wasn't that nice weather but we could still enjoy it because it was so beautiful and so calm. We were there for 4-5 hours.
Café del Mar






On Wednesday it was a normal day. We slept in the morning and in the afternoon we visited Mdina which was the capital of Malta a few years ago. we heard that everything is lighted there so we were pretty amazed and with much anticipation. But when we arrived there it was not that beautiful like I expected. It's true that many things are lighted, like the church, the streets, every restaurants, and so on, but that was everything. And then, the city is really small we were through it in 15 minutes. So we just went to a restaurant and ate something for dinner. Afterwards we left Mdina and we had to say goodbye to our mexican friend because she went to Italy for a few days so we couldn't see her again.
On Thursday we just went to school in the morning and in the afternoon I slept so I was fit for the evening when I went out with some friends.
On Friday I had to say goodbye to all my friends because I couldn't see them again. It was a great time with them but I was really looking forward to see my family and friends at home so it wasn't that hard.
On Saturday me and Louis had to change the apartment because we made a mistake when we booked the flight. The flight was at Sunday but we just booked the apartment until Saturday. So we searched the other apartment and we realized that this apartment was better than the apartment we had for the last 5 weeks. So we just stayed the whole day in this apartment.
On Sunday we could finally take our flight to Switzerland and I was happy about it.
I really enjoyed the five weeks in Malta but after these I had enough of it. But I can really recommend Malta for holidays or a language stay, especially for young people because there is a lot of party. But there are also cities for people who don't like parties like Valletta or Mdina. I'm sure that I will go back to Malta one day.

Now i have time to reflect a bit the whole stay:
First of all, everything was interesting because it was different from my normal day in Switzerland. For example the school was really funny and also a bit easy, because there were many students which couldn't speak English very good . And also the teacher didn't really care about us when we were too late or something like this. Every Tuesday and Thursday we had morning lessons with a lot of speaking and every Monday, Wednesday an Friday we had grammar in afternoon lessons. Both teacher were funny, made jokes and so on. But I have to say that I learned more about the language when I was out with friends from other countries. I think in five weeks you can't learn that much about vocabulary and grammar. The biggest thing I learned was maybe speaking more fluently but maybe with some grammar mistakes.
Once in school I was speaking with a Colombian guy about the minimum wage in Switzerland and Colombia. He almost cried when I told him about ours. In a way that was funny but I also felt a bit stupid when I laughed.:')
There are many differences between Malta and Switzerland. Especially the driving style... First of all you have to drive left like in England. But everyone drives really crazy! When we were in our first cab we were afraid because he drove in slalom around the other cars. Also with 30 km/h too fast.
Another difference is obviously that Malta is an island so you coud always see the sea and there are more rocks than green lawn. That was a bit new for me because I was never so near to a sea for such a long time.
But now I miss a bit the prices of food and other things... In Malta you could go out with 10 euros in the evening and you could have enough. Here in Switzerland that isn't possible. Also in restaurants, you could go with 20 euros and you got a starter a main meal and something to drink.
But the thing I really, really miss a lot is the temperature. When I entered the plane in Malta there were 28 degrees outside. But when I left the plane in Switzerland there were 8 degrees and it was raining so it was a big shock for me.:'D

So.. Now my blog is over.. Thanks for reading it and goodbye!;)
