Friday we went out to St Julians and that was super cool but afterwards I was tired. Luckily it was the weekend and we could sleep in.

Saturday we went to a water park in Naxxar. We had a lot of fun there and the weather was also very nice.

On Sunday, we went to St Julians again. This time not to go to the club but to take a little walk and eat something.

This week was a little different from the previous one. We were given one big task to work on instead of many different ones. We had also been taught MCAST about how to prepare questionnaires. We also went to several events that we helped ourselves to. The events were about the problems with traffic in Malta and how they can solve it and how to emit less CO2 and what the consequences are.

After a whole week of work, I was glad it was weekend. I was tired and over the weekend I could recharge my bateries. But before the weekend started, we went out for sushi with the interns, which was fun and so we got to know them better. Saturday we did the laundry for the first time and it worked out well. We also went to Valletta in the evening. It's a very beautiful city especially in the evening.

Monday

Today we had a special day at work. We had to help out on the MICIE project. This is where all kinds of important Maltese people came to do workshops related to the climate and energy targets of Malta. Our task was to take good photos to be used for their social media. Very educational day.

The first week of our internship at MCAST has already flown by. I am very happy to do my internship here. We are well supported by our supervisors and are given fun tasks with lots of variety that are mainly marketing-related. We have also moved to another office. Here we can communicate better with each other for tasks we have to do together.

Things are also going very well here outside the internship itself. Cooking is going well (even though I can't do it well myself) and the flat looks clean. Everyone helps where they can. Taking the bus to the internship can sometimes be tricky because the buses don't always keep their schedules, but fortunately we are always on time.

Yesterday, we got to work at MCAST for the first time.

MCAST offers vocational and technical education in more than 200 courses and programmes. It has modern facilities, a hands-on learning approach and support services for students. It is a top choice for students looking for career opportunities in Malta.

The first day we were allowed to arrive later than usual so that was nice, that way we could sleep in and be ready to start the week. First we had a tour of the school and met all the people we had to work with. Everyone here is very friendly.

After noon, we were given a task. The task was to find good marketing strategies to make a new product or project more widely known. We also had to find a way to make a social media account better known. It was a informative and fun day and I am already looking forward to the next one.

Malta is a small island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Italy. It is made up of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino. With a rich history that dates back thousands of years, Malta has become a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful beaches, stunning architecture, and fascinating cultural heritage.

One of the most remarkable things about Malta is the sheer number of historical sites and landmarks that can be found there. The island is home to a number of ancient temples, including the Ggantija Temples on the island of Gozo, which are among the oldest free-standing structures in the world. Malta's capital city, Valletta, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its many Baroque-style buildings and fortifications.

In addition to its historical attractions, Malta is also known for its natural beauty. The island's coastline is dotted with gorgeous beaches, crystal-clear waters, and hidden coves just waiting to be explored. The Blue Lagoon, located on the island of Comino, is one of the most popular spots for swimming and snorkeling, thanks to its stunningly clear turquoise waters.

Malta is also a great place for foodies, with a cuisine that is influenced by the island's Mediterranean location and its long history of occupation by various cultures. Seafood is a staple of Maltese cuisine, as are pastries and sweets, such as the traditional Maltese sweet, the "mqaret."
