Scorpion Tiger Attack

Kim Kyung Su/Peter from South Korea who blogs at Scorpion Tiger Attack recently visited Malta to speak at a conference. He blogged about his visit:

Malta. Don't know what to think of this place other than the hotel staff seems to be quite nice. Taxi-drivers make the ones in Seoul seem like a bunch of pussies by overcompensating for the fact that they are manning a family sedan and perhaps it's the unpleasant realization that their dream of becoming a stock-car racer has fizzled away like a bottle of Pellegrino that's been left uncapped for a few hours.

My only notable experience here (so-far) was when I was waiting in line to have my passport stamped at the airport and a trio of middle aged Germans pulled out a rather salty little comment out of their backpacks about how Malta and Morocco were indistinguishable from one another.
