Paola to St. Julian’s in less than 15 minutes: Motorcyclist shows how to beat Malta’s traffic

Oct 8 2022

A local motorcyclist has shown how easy it can be to beat Malta’s traffic, travelling from Paola to St. Julian’s in less than 15 minutes.

Posted on local Facebook page Il-Vjagg, the video clip shows the motorcyclist’s rapid journey, avoiding long lines of traffic as he dashed to Malta’s bustling entertainment district.

Local motorcyclist Yanis Azzopardi stated that, after his Vespa broke down, he had no choice but to resort to driving his car, adding an extra 7 hours of travelling and searching for parking even before schools had started, not to mention an extra €35 per week on fuel.

“Note: Having two wheels doesn’t give you the right to drive like a maniac and overtake cars like there’s no tomorrow. If you do so, there won’t be”, Azzopardi wrote.

Hong Kong is giving away free flight tickets in an attempt to attract tourists

Oct 8 2022

If you ever wanted to travel to Hong Kong for free, now may be your chance because the city is actually giving 500,000 free airline tickets in an attempt to boost tourism post-COVID.

The Chinese city is giving away 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in airline tickets, which equates to around €261.5 million, to hopefully contribute to its tourism industry after receiving a massive blow due to COVID-19.

Hong Kong was one of the strictest cities in the world with regards to COVID-related restrictions, as it followed China’s zero Covid policies.

Executive director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board Dane Cheng stated that “Once the government announces it will remove all COVID-19 restrictions for inbound travellers, we’ll roll out the advertising campaigns for the free air tickets.”

Over 183,600 people visited Hong Kong between January and August of this year. In comparison, Malta welcomed over 300,000 tourists during the same time period.

Organised by architecture student organisation SACES and law student organisation ELSA, the organising parties notified students beforehand that, while the event is one etched into the University’s history, a strict set of rules and regulations were in place which students had to follow.

Rules included the avoidance of violence & unnecessary force, no vandalism to any property whatsoever and encouraged sportsmanship, amongst others.

What do you think of this event?
