Things We Can’t Find in Malta

Things We Can't Find in Malta

At least, we certainly can’t find them on Gozo. I’ve looked in every bookstore I could find, and though they have a breadth of English magazines, including some computer ones, there’s no sign of Wired (of course, I’ve had that problem in Vancouver, too). Not surprisingly, there are also no NHL season preview and hockey pool magazines around, either.

The same goes for the Twizzlers, and licorice products in general (James and Monique, this doesn’t get you off the hook–we need to stockpile!). I can’t speak with the same certainty about the hand sanitizer, but our searches thus far have come up empty.

Many thanks to our latest guest who delivered them from the Great White North.

  1. I had that same licorice problem when I was in Europe, in particular the cherry ones. The other thing I had trouble finding was Root Beer. It’s funny how you crave this stuff more when you can’t find it.

    Darren, you’ll have to feast on the sweets of Malta. Found any interesting snack foods while you’re there? Do tell.

  2. Colin buys licorice allsorts in bulk here at the local store in Xaghra, and I’ve seen them in places in Rabat too 🙂

  3. Patricia: The sweets are all about the figs and dates, which is why I’ve lost a bunch of weight. They’re all kind of semi-sweet. We just discovered a bakery that produces chocolatey things, which is good news.

    Catherine: Hmm…I guess it’s more about red licorice–the allsorts aren’t quite the same.

    Roshan: I don’t drink, but my wife and our guests do. In truth, I think they’ve been too busy exploring all the local and regional libations to worry about Canadian beer.

  5. You will find extremely a great deal of details like this to take into consideration. Which is a superb point to raise up. I provide thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly you’ll be able to discover questions such as one you start up the location that the most crucial thing is going to be acquiring function done in honest extremely very good faith. I don?t determine if guidelines have emerged about stuff like that, but I am certain that the job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls have the impact of only a moment’s pleasure, through-out their lives.
