With a Capital "V"

Pica is a student nurse who came to Malta from Canada for good when she was seven. In one of her first blog posts she wrote that Malta is pretty mad since everyone "knows everyone else's family and their history and their business". In this post she describes her day in Valletta. From Nurse Life:

so today I had a day off and decided to go to our one and only capital city Valletta. I love valletta, its where I want to live, it is where i feel like i belong. it is such wonderful city, oozing with character...its what a city should be...very inspirational.therefore this morning i decided to roam the streets of valletta by myself. I got hungry and bought myself a baguette from Jus Cafe and went walking down to the ID card area to overlook the sea.

There are many moments in my life where i miss canada and i start to think about how life would be if i were still there. This wasnt one of them. having finished my baguette, i began to walk up to the more metropolitan part of the city. on my way up, i witnessed this couple fighting quite vociferously. i stopped to watch, as other locals did. however, on my arrival, one of the spectators told the angry couple to stop it, because foreigners were watching. i looked around for these foreigners and i found everyone looking at me. i guess i was the foreigner...
