We love weekends !

So over week has past since our last writing and weekdays have been the same: working, chilling at home and playing basketball. But last weekend was amazing ! Friday we were at Paceville partying and it won't be a lie if we say that it was the best night ever. We had a blast!

Haha, we asked if those policeofficers could come with us to the picture.
Check the first one giving his best pose.. :D

Also on Sunday we decided to go to Golden Bay again. After about one hour sunbathing one man came to inform us about this speedboat trip to Popeye Village and to the Blue Lagoon. It was 15€ per person so not that bad.

First we went to see the Popeye Village. It's place where first Popeye movie was shooted at 80's and all the cute little houses were props for the movie.

I want to move into that blue one ! -Heidi

After that it was time to go to the Blue Lagoon and gosh that place was amazing. Other girls have already been there but for us it was the first time. Water was clear and warm so it was a shame that we only had 1,5hours there before our ride back arrived.

That water ...

So about work week,

This week I'm starting to realize that this job can offer so much for me. There is so many 'layers' in this type of work. Future will show is this something I would like to do after this internship..

This week I've been trying so search new retailers, but not only for Go&Fun but for example to Nivea and P&G. It would be easier to search them from Malta but my task was search them abroad. May sound easier than it is. I have also been promoting product in one grocerie store and doing survey again in Valletta.

I also had to do flyers which are adverising that when you buy one pizza, you get one litre Go&Fun bottle free. It's actually really nice and rewarding to see afterwards what you have done with your own hands.

I have still been busy with all the events but it will soon calm because 'winter' is coming. We have been again at Golden Bay, Gozo and Comino Islands where we did this 'Survivors' competition. Participants had to make a fire, build a shelter and boat and some equipment so they could carry water.

Santa Venera was a new place for me. We had this 'Build a Car' event there. Groups had to build a car of things they have been given and then two people dragged it about 100meters when one person was inside. Who got the fastest lap won.

We were also working at Limestone Heritage. We did some games to participants and there were also couple Finnish people !

Already three weeks?!

We hadn't had time to write because we have been working a long days and after work almost straight to the basketball practice. So nothing special :D

1/4 behind and it feels like we just came here ? Ok, we admit that there is times that we both get a little homesick especially because the weather hasn't been too good.

Second week we also went to our first basketball practices and also we had games on Tuesday and Sunday. Playing here is kind of similar as in Finland but the same time completely different so it's going to take a while to get used to this. There is only one downside playing basketball here: trainings start at 9pm so we're home after 11pm and that is the time we've been normally sleeping already..

Enough about basketball. Oh gosh our Spanish roommate is funny, she fits with us so well! Even though sometimes we don't understand anything she is saying and she sings all the time. :D On Saturday a week ago we went to see this "Notte Bianca" to Valletta. It's an event when most of the stores and restaurants are open the whole night. There was music and lights everywhere but TOO MANY PEOPLE.... You literally couldn't move sometimes, you just went where ever people close to you were going and every Finn knows the importance of having own space..

Last Saturday Milla had work at the beach called Golden Bay, so we decided to go there too and Belen came with us also. It was first time when I had time to go sunbathing.. Water was also so warm and clear so that was a perfect way to spend our Saturday. Later that day we all went to have dinner to Valletta.

On Sunday we were hiking with our teammates for three hours at Strait of Sicily. It was exhausting but the views were pretty amazing. After hiking we went to nearest restaurant to eat some burgers :D It was nice to see first time our teammates somewhere else than in practice.

The first "hill" we came down...

Something about work:

I've been working outside almost the whole week and it has been very nice because the days has been sunny and sometimes even too hot. I have also been working in few Saturdays but fortunately my supervisor has given me some day off in a week if I've been working in weekends. This month has been super busy at work because we have like two to three events everyday. So there is a lot of preparations and packing everything in the van and October is the most busiest month in the company so there is lot to do everyday.

On the second week here I was three days at University of Malta giving free tastings to students. I was with people from Toyota because they launched the new Toyota Aygo car which slogan is "Go fun yourself" so Go&Fun energy drink fitted there well. I also met two students from Finland, yay !

Also a weeks ago I was at Valletta doing surveys and giving tastings. At other times I've been doing the covers to Go&Fun so Photo Shop is even more familiar now.. Doing covers is nice if you have an inspiration but if you don't... Well, I just bang my head to the table and pray that I would get an idea..

Some covers I've been doing

First day at University.

Also after working at Valletta me and Silja (One of the other Finnish girls) wanted to go eat and sit somewhere where we could eat Maltese traditional food 'rabbit'. Ok, we also took couple beers, we want to stay hydrated.. We took three different foods and shared them and it was sooooo gooood ! Downside was that we ate rabbit raviolis so the pasta flavor kind of covered the taste of rabbit.
