Surprises....

Coming back to Malta brought a lot of surprises.....

1. The most agonising surprise is the banning of cigarettes in public places!!! How can you no longer have a cigarette with your beer!!! This is torture! I was quietly sitting in Dubliners ordered my Export and lit a cigarette, when a barman came running to me and told me that I had to put out the cigarette. The surprised me, sat up and told him since when???? Well obviously there was no arguing about that!!! Cigarette out!!! The barman kept on teasing me all throughout the night..... when I went up for a beer, the guy kept on telling me 'What would you like? A smoke??' - Ha Ha.... Its very hard to get used to, even today when I went out of coffee with friends, and I got suddenly bored and had nothing to say, I could not put a cigarette in my mouth.... I guess its good though..... less chances of lung cancer!

2. I forgot how to drive!!! As soon as I stepped into the car, I could not start the car, and then I could not balance the clutch and the gas anymore!!!! and I could not remember which side to drive on!!! After a couple of mins I got the hang of it, but it took a while!

3. The best surprise of all though is the surprise I got yesterday morning, when I went for an innocent coffee with Tasha, Tom turned up!!!!!!

He surprised me and came to Malta for new year!!! I was in shock!!! I could not even stand up and hug him!!! It was the best surprise ever! Its nice to show Tom where I come from and what I have been speaking about in these past 6months! We spent these past two days sightseeing round Malta together with my parents..... My father was very excited to tell Tom all about Malta......

I guess I can say that I don't really miss much from Egypt now!!! Tom's here and I'm at home!!!! Though I must say I do miss my freedom and some of my friends there!!!!
