I’m going to visit Malta during my holiday this year, so I’ve just booked a package tour with departure on the 28th August. It’s going to be my second flight to Malta, for the first time I was there 7 years ago.
Malta island has been an unusual destination for me, because it’s a tiny island, everything is close, so I used to go there on foot a lot.
During my stay there I’m going to swim and to make a trips on foot and I’ll probably make a trip to Gozo, another island of the Malta republic, which is even smaller than Malta island itself and which is situated 3 or 4 km west of Malta island. Maybe I’ll rent a bike for long trips around the island.
I’d like to meet some native inhabitants too, because I’ve recently visited a website of a girl from Malta. She doesn’t like living there. She thinks that Malta is too small for comfortable living, so I’d like to ask other people living there if they like or dislike their life there, what are advantages and disadvantages, if they’d like to move somewhere in the continent etc.
As to me, I thing Malta is both a good place for a holiday and a good place for living.

This event happened one afternoon in a small willage, where people knew each other. An older man with his wife visited a local pub. They were sitting at the table with another man, drinking beer together.
This woman started conversation with the man, which wasn’t pleasant to her husband, so he tried to interrupt them, but he was failed, so he grabbed the man, shook with him and hit him two times in his face, broke his nose and knocked out two of his front teeth.
The waiter called both ambulance and police. Injured man was taken to hospital and the next day was released home, where his curing continued for 21 days.
A policeman from a local police station questioned immediately visitors of the pub, the waiter, the perpetrator and his wife. She made use of her right and refused to give evidence against her husband. The suspicious man confessed, that he had assaulted and injured a man. In the meantime the policeman received a message from hospital, saying that the treatment of injured man would last more than 1 week.
After that the policeman referred the case with all the documents to the investigator from the regional police and offered to accuse the perpetrator. On the base of documents the investigator accepted the offer and accused him of assaulting and disorderly conduct and questioned him as accused. The accused man repeatedly confessed the crime and asked for conditional stop of his criminal prosecution.
The investigator provided a criminal record of the accused man and found, that this event was the first criminal case in man’s life.
During investigation the accused man settled the damage up towards the health insurance company, which occured during treatment of injured man, who himself didn’t ask any compensation.
The investigator referred then the case with all the documents to the public prosecutor, who, on the base of documents, passed a resolution and conditionally stopped the criminal prosecution of the man and set a trial for 1 year.
This resolution was accepted by accused man, injured man and the health insurance company.
During 1 year’s trial the behavior of the man was without any defect, so after that the public prosecutor decided that the accused man acquited himself. This decision was also accepted and the case was over.
This case was quite simple and not too dangerous, the accused man has lived properly before, so it wasn’t necessary to refer his case to the court.
The penal code in my country had a clause, which enables conditional stopping of criminal prosecution in cases like this, so I applied it.
