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.

Total new Covid cases per 100K population last 14 days:
Malta 588.8
Thailand 230.1
Malta does literally about 22 times the number of tests. 2.4 million per 1 million population versus Thailand at 116k per one million.
Besides, they're opening the borders there. Plus it's about half the cost of living in Canada, plus it's a really cool little country. I'm sure it's changed quite a bit in 15 years since I was last there, but still....
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.
Either way it turns out, I figure it's still worth it. I put it in my mind I won't be getting to Asia until Q3 of 2022, and that's probably at the earliest.
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.
can you believe the Thai figures??? Malta only has like a dozen people...easy to test everyone +their dog and canary...
...bit tiresome...
