Malta ABC

Oh yeah, I promised to tell you guys what the thing was with fireworks. Apparently, every village on Malta has a fiest, where they celebrate a saint. To let people know that the saint is on display, they shoot fireworks. But they dont only use fireworks to call people to church for festive occations. According to a reliable source, they also use fireworks to let people know that the mass will begin soon. And since Malta is a super religious conutry = fireworks 24/7. I love Maltas forward thinking, because you know, church bells are so last century!

Anyhow, lets go on to todays Malta ABC, where the next letter we will take on is L like in
Lidl is like Maltas own personal mekka. People goes on Pilgrimage to Lidl and spend hours upon hours in this food store. (For those of you who´s not from Sweden, Lidl in Sweden is considered to be a white trash store (sorry, but yeah, that is what people think!) where you would not even go to buy milk). I have seriously heard about people at my work who spent hours trekking to the closest Lidl store and everybody is quite jealouse of my apartment. Not because it is mint, (which it is) but because Lidl is located 100 meters away from where I live.

And actually, Im quite liking it too! Not that Lidl have the best supply of goods (they have garden gnomes but not lunch boxes) but sence I still get lost, trying to find my way back home, I can always ask people where Lidl is at.

So in conclusion, Lidl is not my Mekka, but more of my guiding star.
