Malta - the beautiful Island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea

I came to Malta 13th of september and my practical training in surgical ward started on 17th of september. I have never lived in a dormitory, and first it was uncomfortable to share toilet, shower and kitchen with others. In my flat lives now 8 peoples; from Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, Palestine, Poland, New Zealand and Australia. We have our own rooms and some of them share to room. I have a single room, and I´m very happy about that; I need my privacy 🙂 Now I’m used to live in the dormitory, and this feels like home <3

 

I had surgical ward training and coordinator organized so that I went for one week in the ICU also. I learn there a lot! Differences between Finnish and Maltese medical care is a major, such as the level of hygiene. First I was really in shock. Is not easy to bring Finnish ways to care, when you are in totally different culture. But I try my best, at least with hygiene.

I have toured the island almost entirely and I have to say, it is really beutiful! First thing to learn in here, is how the bus system works and it is quite good and simple. Traffic is in here left-hand and first it was very hard to understand that you have to get to bus in the ”wrong” side of the road.

I went to ride with my flat mates and it was really extreme to me. we went really high cliff to watch the sunset. We had also boat party for Erasmus students. Boat went Malta – Gozo – Comino, so we saw three different island.

My boyfriend will come on this week in here and I will have two weeks holiday. We will go to Sicily for seven days. We will fly to Catania, and we are going to see mount Etna. We will rent a car and travel to Taormina, where the Godfather movies has been filmed.
