Me and three other students from Berlin (Kevin, Mark and Matze) left on June 17th at 12:40 PM. We had a few hours layover in Milan where we drove to the city and had some ice-cream while chilling in a Park. Later we took the second flight to Malta. We arrived at the airport at about 11:30 PM, a friendly driver awaited us holding a sign with our names on it and took us to our apartement. At about 1:00 AM we could finally take a shower and unpack our bags.
The next morning we drove to Valetta, the capital of Malta. We had breakfast there and went on to find some kind of office where one can make an application for a maltese ID-Card. With that card we get a discount of about 50% on all bus tickets. If all goes well, i'll receive it in about 5 days. It's pretty important, because busses are more or less the only way to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. The maltese bus system is ... let´s say a little strange. More on that later.
We had a meeting with the person responsible for our internship at Paragon Europe in the afternoon. His name is Joseph and he seems to be a nice guy. We saw a slideshow about Malta and what to expect from the island and the people living on it. It was a little strange that we were interrupted about 20 times because the presentation room also was a walk-through room to another office and every few minutes somebody wanted something from Joseph, so he had to stop presenting and signed some papers or exchanged a few words with one of his colleagues. But in the end we learned some essentials about the island and what's going on here.
After the presentation we received the contact information and adress of our future working places. My company is called Intercomp Ltd. but at first i didn't have any additional information. At least then i finally knew where i had to start working the next day.
