Malta is a livable island country. Don’t be fooled again. Let me lift the true veil of Malta.

Malta is a small island country located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, between the coasts of Italy and North Africa. Its neighbors are Italy, Tunisia and Libya, with easy access to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Malta has an area of ??only approximately 316 square kilometers. Judging from the map and actual geographical location, the Maltese Islands do not belong to the European continent, but to the African continent. In theory, Malta should be part of Africa.

However, due to many historical factors such as colonization, Malta was assigned to Europe. In fact, Malta is a southern European island country and the smallest member of the European Union.

In any case, the African continent will have a subtle impact on Malta. For example: this island country has 300 days of sunshine every year, severe droughts, easy people's lives, and rich history and archaeological treasures.

These natural and human environments seem to encompass the shadow of the environment on the African continent. However, unlike most African countries, Malta's economy is stable and attracts a large number of new immigrants to settle every year.

The total population of Malta is approximately 500,000, including foreign residents who have immigrated to Malta. In fact, the birth rate among Malta's original inhabitants is very low, with most of the country's newborns coming from immigrant families.

Moreover, what is interesting is that many original residents of Malta like to look for work and development in developed European and American countries such as North America, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany or the United Kingdom, and then return to their country after retirement.

At the same time, residents from other European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Greece continue to immigrate to Malta.

These new immigrants also include a large number of retirees from Northern Europe and the United Kingdom. In addition, there are considerable African and South African immigrant groups.

The reasons for attracting new immigrants are simply Malta’s good geographical location, relatively cheap cost of living, historical connections with the United Kingdom, the country’s low corporate taxes, the island’s natural beauty, and historical monuments. architecture and a warm Mediterranean climate all year round.

In addition to being a safe haven for high-net-worth individuals around the world, Malta is also a springboard for African refugees to enter the European continent to work and make money. Refugees can enter the Italian peninsula through Malta and travel to various parts of the European continent.

The integration of many nationalities has made Malta a country with linguistic diversity and cultural diversity. The island's indigenous and official language is still Maltese, and local children are required to learn Maltese in school.

The second official language is English, almost 90% of the people can speak English. Italian is also relatively popular, with up to two-thirds of Malta's residents speaking Italian fluently, so there is a large amount of media in both English and Italian.

As long as you can speak one of English, Maltese and Italian, you don’t have to worry about communication in Malta.

However, if a person who only speaks Chinese plans to live in Malta, it will be quite painful.

The country's religion is mainly Catholic. 98% of Maltese are Catholics and it is a very conservative country.

Topless swimming and sunbathing are not allowed, abortion is illegal, and even divorce was not allowed until 2011. These are very different from the European and American countries we know.

With its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, Malta is one of the best holiday destinations in Europe. A wide variety of outdoor pastimes are part of everyday life in Malta.

Take a yacht, sail, learn to dive, explore a shipwreck or admire the Mediterranean coral reefs. These will make your trip to Malta fun.

In addition to the excitement of the beaches and sea, visitors can also visit cathedrals, artworks and learn about the country's history.

Enjoy a live show of knight escorts, watch an ancient cannon fire, or explore Malta's catacombs.

These things are wonderful, but after two or three months, you will get tired of them and feel bored. It was as if I was living in a prison floating on the sea.

Because almost everyone in Malta is bilingual, the local secondary school curriculum includes subjects such as mathematics, Maltese, English, other foreign languages, physics, art, music and physical education.

There is almost no Chinese teaching in the school curriculum, which is very detrimental to the growth of the descendants of Chinese immigrants and their understanding of the history of Chinese civilization.

Moreover, language is the embodiment of human thinking. Being able to speak multiple languages ??does not mean being proficient at the same time. A forced and confusing bilingual or multilingual environment will seriously hinder the cultivation of children's thinking, let alone Have a standard sense of cultural identity.

Moreover, the well-known local University of Malta is only ranked around 600-800 in the world, which does not necessarily mean that the country’s education has such obvious advantages!

Generally speaking, Malta's security is very safe. Violent incidents in Malta are quite rare, but pickpockets, purse snatching, car thefts and knife robberies often occur.

Riots also occurred at some popular nightlife venues. In addition, scams that offer jobs as a gimmick are rampant.

Malta’s roads are very congested. For example, the roads in Valletta, the capital of Malta, have many narrow ramps and fast traffic. Therefore, traffic problems are also a major safety hazard in the country.

As a small country with almost no natural resources, Malta’s economy is mainly based on trade, tourism and financial services.

Unlike other Mediterranean countries, Malta is an arid country unsuitable for growing crops, and agricultural output is quite low.

Although Malta’s game industry and film entertainment industry have developed rapidly in recent years, they have not brought Malta a broad future and economic prospects.

I think that for a small country like this without any natural resources and economic development prospects, it is enough to travel. There is really no need to drag the whole family to seek development here.
