Malta: 11.15.09

Things to love about Malta:

--Caviar. I have been surprised on several occasions by caviar coming with food even though it isn't listed on the menu. Pasta. Salads. Even pizza.

--Ice. Malta, unlike many places in Europe, believes that drinks should be served with ice cubes. Praise Jesus.

--Every bar comes equipped with a pole. What could possibly make thumping music and cheap drinks even better? Lots of drunk girls who have consumed too many of said cheap drinks deciding it's the optimum time to try out their (extremely dubious) pole dancing skills. It frequently ends in injury, and always end in embarrassment.

--Boys on the aforementioned poles. Apparently male members of the species really need more opportunities to dance on poles. We've been depriving them for years. Every time they see one, their excitement levels go to 11 (oooh, a sneaky pop culture reference!) and they absolutely must test it out. And, frankly, they're usually better than the girls are...

--Gratuitous playing of this song (There's a little minor swearing...my apologies to those with sensitive ears!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBH85xp9bvo This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in a while, but it's completely addictive - the very definition of "so bad it's good." There's nothing quite like grooving to a tune that celebrates poor grammar and objectifying women!


Things to look forward to about returning to the States:

--Not having to listen to the Black Eyed Peas every three and a half minutes.

--Speedy service in restaurants. You'd think a waitress would be quick to bring you your bill but...no. Not in Malta.

--My bed (comfiest mattress ever...), my computer, the majority of my wardrobe, good razors, and the ability to straighten my hair.

--Rolo shots at Keybar.

--Yoga (and hopefully a dance class, if I can find one that won't break the bank!).

-- Doctor Who and Torchwood marathons with all of my nearest and dearest. :):)
