Free Wifi! Filtered!

Free “filtered” wifi on offer in Malta

Free WiFi!

Some things are better filtered. Water, for one. Do you like unfiltered sake? Apple juice? What about your internet?

I saw this sign in Malta. I didn’t use this free network.

I found Malta to be a pretty unpleasant place. It seems to have evolved as the epitome of cheap package tours touting sun and binge drinking.

Pickpocketing is rampant, especially in the nightclubs of Paceville and of course on the buses. We visited Senglea, Sliema, Paceville, St. Julians, and Valetta. The island has some interesting architecture but otherwise, you don’t have a single positive comment; and my mother taught me: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Free wife. Paceville, Malta
Paceville: full of crumbling and never-finished structures. Smells of stale alcohol.

  1. Filtered internet means that the host country or provider only lets you see what they think is appropriate. They block sites you might otherwise like to visit. Nasty!
