Chinese food and boyfriends

Chinese food and boyfriends.
What do you do, when you're in a Med. country, and you are bored? You go out for Chinese food of course. So there I sat, sitting on the waterfront looking out at the sea, eating chicken fried rice, and drinking diet sprite. Wow, that is one of the more weird sentences I have written. I must admit though, that I enjoyed it. The rice was slightly dry, and I found myself longing for Joyce's Noodle House lo mein, which wasn't on Yuu's menu. The diet sprite tasted more like Ginger Ale, and oddly enough, 7up tastes more like Sprite, so that leads me to believe that Ginger Ale, would therefore taste like 7up.


I went to Marsa for tutoring yesterday. I had Stiphen again. Ironically, Stiphen, has a lot of trouble with vowels, hence the spelling of his name! He is my favortite. He apologised to me, for not asking permission to go blow his nose. So cute! Anyway, another guy there, Ados, professed his "like" for me yesterday, and in his country, when a man tells you that he likes you, you are supposed to date him. I told him sorry, I'm flattered, but I have a boyfriend in the U.S. and that I can only have one boyfriend. To this he replied that he just told me he liked me, and so therefore I am supposed to date him. I told him no, that we can be friends, but my boyfriend would not like it if I dated Ados. Ados became very upset. Literally. So to make it all better, I had to promise that one day, if it's in Gods plan, if he sees me in America, we can become good friends, if i'm not with my boyfriend. Uff dah! (If only it were that easy!)

I have wednesdays off because I go to Marsa on Tuesdays, but today, I have decided to take a day off and just sit. I watched Friends (So funny after you haven't seen TV for over a month, let alone in your own language and accent) and I'll probably watch Harry Potter. I wish Harry was from America though. English accents, and German accents and Maltese accents are just becoming boring. I met a Canadian, and man, I could have listened to him talk forever! He is from Windsor? Right above, next to? Detroit. It was like he was sent here just for my ears! His name is Dugan, as I learned after he repeatedly asked my name and then goes, "ohhh Annnnniiii, thats ok, my name is Dugan..." Um? Ok? I wasn't aware that my name was that weird, let alone that I should feel better that your name is Dugan, so therefore my name isn't so bad.

Anyway, Meg and I are trying to plan our trip. We have until tomorrow to plan it. We leave at 4am on friday for GREECE! whoo hooo! Then Turkey! I have been waiting for this! So psyched!

I ask one thing for all you reading this: Go buy a bagel, maybe onion or something, with cream cheese, and eat while thinking of me. I would love a bagel right now. Boo hoo! Instead I had a honey ring. Not the same, not the same...

Ok, that is all for now I suppose. My computer is still broken (curse you apple) so until then, no pictures. But perhaps, by April! Keep thinking good computer thoughts for me!

Gozo. Still technically Malta, but Gozitans do not consider themselves to be Maltese. Anyway, it is the little island next to Malta and next to Comino. We went there for a day trip! Absolutely fantastic! I had so much fun. We went to the Citadel which was really cool, and had some really awesome views of Gozo. Gozo is not as developed as Malta, so the fact that I saw evidence that the color green still exists and that grass is not just something I thought I once knew, made Gozo a little special place in my heart. We also went to the salt pans, which are square "pans" cut into rock on the shore, and after tide goes out, the sun dries up the water left in the pans, and the sea salt is all that is left! We played around on some huge boulders like we were five again, which I must say, was really enjoyable. We then went to my favorite place so far. The Azure Window. SO BEAUTIFUL! I could have spent so much time there, but we spent to much time climbing the rocks at the salt pans, so we only had 20 minutes. But, I did get plenty of pictures. Oh yea, and we saw more ruins.

We ate lunch at a little restaurant in a little town. I don't remember what either of them are called, but the town was very cute and nice, and the restaurant was good. So much food. And, sun dried tomato paste. YUM! We had fish with potatos, which was very good, and some desert consisting of a really good sauce. I obviously paid a lot of attention to what the waitress was saying.

Best thing about the day...Cows. I saw cows! Never in one billion years did I think I'd see a cow in Malta. I was hoping that i could take a picture, but we were on the bus, so alas, I'll just have to have the memory. I think I like Gozo...Green grass and Cows, what more could one want? How about a Creamee or a Slushy? Oh yes, Gozo has both. I opted for the Slushy, a red slushy, and a couple people got creamees. It was like some person knew I was coming, and had an idea to incorporate Vermont into Malta somehow, and this is what they came up with.

Overall, Gozo was probably one of my favorite days here so far.
