Namlessom's stories

Jorn M came to Malta from the Netherlands to study English and is blogging about his stay on the island. In this piece he writes about snorkelling with his American friend at Golden Bay:

..Whe agreed to snorkel together so it would be saver and we could snorkel further away from the coast. We alerted each other if there was a jellyfish or something remarkable. The 41-year old man could snorkel very well, he dived very rappidly and came up again with a small ordinary stone. While he dived he kept his snorkling-pipe in his mouth. Everytime when I tried that a lot of seawater came into my mouth so I had to go up immediately to spit out the water. Every five minutes we interuppted snorkling and talked a little bit. He told me that he was an American, how surprisingly, who lived on Malta. He asked me if I had tried the typical maltese cheese. On the day before during my Gozo trip (one of the three islands of Malta) I had tried the typical maltese cheese during lunch. In my opion it's just only slightly different from the Italian Mozerella, but it was delicious indeed.

After an other 30 minutes snorkling I was getting cold, the first time on Malta, so I returned. Before I went out of the water I had to cross the dirty seaweed again. With the book 'Pappilion' in my mind I observerd the waves to see if there was a possibilty to jump over the seaweed. After one minute I gave up and reached at my beach towel with dirty legs. The rest of the afternoon I didn't swim anymore because my throat was irritating of all the seawater I had swallowed. So I decided to start in one of the six books I had brought to Malta: Catch-22. After reading the first two sentences: "It was love at first sight. The first time Yosserian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him." I became a big fan of Yosserian, the principal character of the book.
