Fuck it, I think I'm going to move to Malta for a while. Sick and tired of Canada, Malta is awesome as I lived there before for 6 months, and excellent country. I'll go hang out there while I wait for Covid to finish wreaking havoc on Asia, then continue on to Vientiane.
Oh no! Not another tale.Quote:

can you believe the Thai figures??? Malta only has like a dozen people...easy to test everyone +their dog and canary...
Malta does literally about 22 times the number of tests. 2.4 million per 1 million population versus Thailand at 116k per one million.Quote:

Besides, I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that we're probably all going to get Covid at some point. I have my two shots of Modurna, so hopefully I'll just be able to sleep it off in bed for a couple days, then be back at life.
i'm sure it has. I was there three times from the mid-1970s, once at the Villa Rosa which was virtually isolated then, and twice on the lovely island of Gozo. When I went back in 2001, there had been so much building I could not recognise either of the islands.Quote:

All considering, Malta seems like a good choice to go hang out for a while as I wait for Asia to open up. Plus I get 6 months without any issue or hassle. Stamped in for 90 days at the airport, extendable by another 90 days within country.
...bit tiresome...
