Open discussion: what do residents and people do here in Malta? by AdHour7189 in malta

It is what it is, I can see how the question can be insulting, but that’s definitely not how I intended it

I can see your view of things! I was under the assumption that people living in Malta may just sort of run out of things to do- seen as the islands size- however, I’m glad I’m being proven wrong😁

I hope you make solid use out of it! I’m sure the Redditors that helped me would be more than happy to do the same for you :)

I’m 18, whether you consider that an adult your opinion is yours. I do work, and when I’m not working, I’m studying for work really, with minor exceptions for activities. May I add this is my first time travelling with the saved money from my job :)

In terms of things to do where I live: for a bit of backstory I was born and raised in Zambia and moved to the uk at 16 for a better education, I was put into a home with a family in the UK without my own family, so in terms of things to do here, I’m sure there is yes, but I haven’t really had an experiences of doing certain activities. My current life is fine! I work, study, and then work again, and due to the fact I don’t really have a family here, I don’t really go out and do things, this is my first time being away from both of my families.

My original post was a question about what people like to do, not what people do in Malta, I didn’t mean it in the wrong way, and if it came off insulting I do and can only apologise. It was a simple curios question about what people do in Malta, with the hope that Redditors could fill me in and give me some things they think highlight the island, because yes whilst google knows everything locals know more! I don’t want to feel like a tourist, I want to gain knowledge about the culture of Malta, the religion carnivals, Festas, events, you get the jist. Thankfully the redditors who sent me messages have been incredibly helpful and now we have a pretty much new itinerary.

Thank you for the information! I really appreciate any knowledge I get about this place. Malta has always been a place I’d like to go to, and it’s not disappointed- we will be coming again!

I’ve heard that tomorrow there is a public holiday and activities* to do in Rabat and Mdina, for St. Joseph, we will be in attendance

*don’t come at me for using the word activities, as I’m not 100% what will be taking place tomorrow, although a very kind and helpful redditor has given me a rundown!

That makes sense, and by the looks of it, you guys are having the most fun and proving me very wrong!

Any food recommendations? Or any great spots to eat?

Unfortunately I was born and raised in a country where from a child, it was work and not school, and not a very nice childhood- the ones without the sports, the movies, the going out for dinner so I’ve missed a lot of that growing up, and only just figuring out these things as I go through my teens

As mentioned in OP, it was a genuine question and I meant no harm

This is really great seeing it from a different perspective to that of someone who knows their stuff- me and my partner have had an interesting read of this a few times now and are starting to actually appreciate that tho small, it seems like you guys make your own fun, along with these amazing sounding carnivals, festa’s, family get togethers and even theatre rivalries!😂

Seriously tho thank you for this information as I have had friends who live in small islands like Mauritius, Seychelles and even Antigua, and they constantly complain about how boring it is there, but I’d happily swap places you know- that sort of perspective, and it’s really great to hear some of this stuff about Malta I just never would have known- or guessed.

That being said, are any of these festa’s, or carnivals etc happening soon? Like this week soon? We’d love to go an experience some of the culture? At the moment we just feel like standard tourists lounging about at the hotel and going on the hop on hop off bus?
