Malta a ‘hassle-free destination for fully jabbed’ according to Euronews

An article published by EuroNews Travel labelled Malta as ‘the hassle free destination perfect for fully vaccinated travellers.’ The article discusses how ‘there’s no quarantine, easy entry if you’re fully vaccinated’ and how ‘you can reach it from anywhere in Europe’. The article pointed out how Malta was the first EU country to ban anyone not vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they are under the age of 12. Malta’s herd immunity achievement is touted as one of the reasons for having such ‘relaxed entry requirements for visitors’. The article lists out all of Malta’s travel requirements - how masks are mandatory in all public spaces except for fully vaccinated groups of two people and that no quarantine is needed for countries on its green list. Coupled with a shower of praise of the island’s history, culture and attractions, the article singles out Malta as a travel gem amidst a global pandemic.

Jerome Boateng found guilty of assaulting ex

Sep 10 2021 Share

Yesterday, German footballer Jerome Boateng was found guilty for assaulting the mother of his twins back in 2018. Jerome has been ordered to pay a fine of €1.7 million. Jerome has had an interesting summer as after getting released by German champions Bayern Munich he had to wait until the last few days of the summer window to find a club, Lyon.

Jerome’s ex-girlfriend told the court in Munich that the former Bayern Munich defender  had punched her so hard she lost her breath for a moment. Boateng admitted in his testimony that tensions between the two were high, but denied that he abused, only stating that he pushed her out of self defence.

This isn’t the only issue that Boateng has had with girlfriends, as earlier in February ex girlfriend, 25-year-old model Kasia Lenhardt, took her own life in a flat in Berlin. He was in Qatar with his Bayern teammates playing in the Club World Cup.

Money Heist dominates Netflix in Malta for a whole week
Sep 10 2021 Share

Following the much anticipated release of Money Heist Season 5 Part 1, the Spanish heist crime drama has dominated Netflix in Malta for almost a week straight. The series received critical acclaim worldwide, and the local entertainment scene doesn’t seem to be exempt from this. The first part of the final season was released just last Friday 3rd September and went on to be the most watched series on Maltese screens. 

Following in second place is the series Good Girls, with Turning Point: 9/11 and War on Terror in third place (given the commemoration of the tragic event). Money Heist, known as ‘La Casa De Papel’ in its original Spanish language, captivated fans through its character development, high stakes and its cliff-hangers. Fans are now awaiting the release of the remaining 5 episodes on the 3rd of December to wrap up the whole series, even though the first five were already packed with surprises and heartbreak.

Maltese least likely to eat fish at home among EU countries

Maltese least likely to eat fish at home among EU countries
Sep 10 2021 Share

Despite being an island smack in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, the Maltese are less likely to eat fish at home than citizens of other European Union countries. A Eurobarometer survey showed how 57% of Maltese said they ate fish at home at least once a month. This might not seem as a considerably low percentage, but the European average racked up to 65% by comparison. Malta, in fact, had the 8th lowest proportion of respondents who said they enjoyed a home-cooked fish meal once a month. 

Even Cyprus, an island neighbour, registered an identical 57%, followed by the likes of Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary. 19% of Maltese said they eat fish less than once a month, with 32% saying they had fish between one and three times a month. 19%, which is quite a large percentage, said they never had fish, compared to the EU average of 11%. The survey also reported how eating fish correlated to socioeconomic status, with those who report financial issues reported lowest fish consumption rate.
