Technology hasn’t made communication any better but instead has created barriers between people. People tend to sit around talking to their screens and have many friends on Facebook but have no real friends at all. Instead of speaking with those who love them and care for them they rather prefer to write a post expressing how they feel. Few realize the true meaning of happiness in the company of friends and instead make group chats thinking they are similar. A look around quickly confirms this. People sitting together eyes down, no one talking, they are missing out on laughter and experiences… So put down your phones, open your eyes, look around and don’t miss out on life anymore!

The sedimentary rocks in Malta have very old fossils in them. It is important to protect them, putting up notices not to walk over them or break parts of them to take back home as souvenirs. Dwejra is an example of this.

Malta and Gozo are full of beautiful places, waiting to be explored yet the locals seem unaware of the countless, breath-taking scenic views. It’s a shame that only tourists truly appreciate our one of a kind islands. Why is it that on a coastal walk one only sees foreigners? The locals frequently complain that there is a lack of places to go, when there is a stunning view only a short distance away.
