  (B)rand Where?
Where can you drink Stoney Ginger Beer?
Where can you watch the Orlando Pirates take on SuperSport United?
Where can you watch whales making love?
Where can you admire sugar birds, giant proteas and jackass penguins?
Where can you stand on the tip of the Cabo de Boa Esperanca?

The friendly passport control chap at the airport laughed when he heard his female colleague read out 'Malta' when she examined my passport. And in that cool accent he said, "Press K and read out the results, tell us how many!". "72" was the answer but we haven't figured out exactly what that stat refers to. Wired Temples please note!

Goeimore, Lotsha, Thobela, Dumela, Sanibonani, Avusheni, Ndi matseloni, Molo, Sawubona!


PS: The Lino Briguglio incident reminds us of the opening gambits of Philip Roth's The Human Stain, sans social fallout for the learned professor and (we imagine) devoid of any sex scenes with illeterate university janitors.
