Malta
Second hand shops
There are 3 quite cheap and good charity shops in Hamrun, on San Guzepp street. To find second-hand electronics and other goods there is a website maltapark.com
Equipment
If you want to buy camping equipment, you might want to go to Mosta to the Army Surplus shop.
Where to spend time
To meet locals, you generally have a few spots:
- Maori bar on Triq-il-Lanca (you go down the straight street and turn to Sant Bastjan when it ends, and then you will see a tunel, which you take to find yourself on the seacoast. Then you will see a couple of tiny buildings on the right, one of them is Maori)
- ĠUGAR - Hangout & Bar
- Wild Honey cafe
- Vilhena Band Club on Triq Sarria
- You also have to check if there are events in the St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity -- they have great music with (often) free entrance
- Also, there is always some activity on the FB community 'Film/Tv work Malta', you can help students with making their movies -- and it's a great way to meet locals
Places to explore
- Sa Maison Garden, Sa Malson -- just a nice tiny garden with a great view
- Generally there is a lot of abandoned forts left from the Brits. It's amazing to be there! You can break into Fort Ricasoli easily -- there is a path leading to the tunnels and weapons preserved from the older times. Fort Campbell is a bit further, but also a great place to be.
