The Maltese in Belgium

Refreshing experience, here in Brussels. There is a new initiative taking place here in Brussels - MIBA, Maltese in Belgium Association. We had the first meeting yesterday and I felt at home...

imagine this... I had to leave early from work to go to this event, but work didnt allow that, was raining cats and dogs, had to walk for 20 minutes when I had to be there 30 minutes before...

I ring building number 289 and as I open the door and I see sooooooooooooo many familiar faces from Malta...unbelievable..

I met one of my neighbours (lives in my street in Malta)
met a basketball mate of mine
met another guy who was with me in my bachelors course for 4 years
and another girl who was in my Masters class
and soooooooo many other people

We drank Maltese wine, beer.. good food and most important of all... the familiar language, the Maltese patriotism.. our gestures... our Malta........
My community here in Brussels is growing stronger and stronger...it really feels like home

Thanks to MIBA and thumbs up for the future of MIBA
