The Bananas from Sliema

I am following Dwardu’s advice and I am not buying vegetables from the supermarket. I have found these vegetable trucks that are so cute but I am still wondering if they are really cheaper. I buy a banana almost everyday from a truck close to my flat while I am coming to meet up Denise who kindly gives me a lift every morning.

Yesterday I didn’t buy it but when we were walking to the office (Sliema) I spotted another cute truck. As usual, I tried to speak in Maltese to avoid being ridiculously overcharged, you know, I gave him the usual lines: “Ghandek bananas?” And “Kem hi?” Notwithstanding my flawless Maltese (yeah right LOL) the guy told me 40 euro cents! And I am like: but the other place in Ta’Xbiex charges me 20! And then I realised I had given away my true identity as a foreigner LOL or perhaps he thought that I was Pepe as most people do :) I just paid and left thinking: Is this banana thicker, does it have gold pieces? Oh, anyway…I say this because it seems to me that apart from the obvious designer clothes shops, it looks like a bottle of water has a different price in Sliema.

I think that we have a discreet farter in the course. Every 20 minutes or so I would smell the stink, very discreet the guy must be not to be heard by 50 people or so…This afternoon I will try to pay attention to subtle noises and I will try to unmask the farter LOL. I am staying away from the girl who was stinking the other day so that has been taken care of :) I have talked to another classmate, a nice girl working for a lawyers' company. Most of my colleagues are lawyers I think.

Talking about the course, I really need to sit down with only my book, lamp and highlighter and really read the legal mumbo jumbo and that’s today’s resolution…
