malti7388   10 #1 Posted June 12, 2003 Tourism & Travel Complaints  WARNING TO TOURISTS GOING TO MALTA   I am from Malta, a country about to join the EU. Some tourists resorts in Malta, namely, Qawra and Bugibba, have adopted a go as you please attitude for certain enviornmental issues.  The city has over 100,000 inhabitants during summer, yet you hardly see any police roaming across the streets. Drunk british tourists are allowed to smash parked cars and disturb public peace all night till 0600. Wardens ignore private cars playing loud pop music and horns till the early hours of the morning. Cars crossing one way streets etc .  Entertainment noise is accepted as normal by the local mayor Mr. Paul Bugeja, and the police inspector (who is refusing to give his name). This is because he ownes a bar called Caesers at Bugibba square, and the local police inspector allows him to hold street disco's every night till tyhe small hours of the morning. Next to Caesurs, is the disco bar The Miracles, the owner of which is a close buisness friend of the mayor, and is also allowed by the local police to hold daily discos at the square. Othe bars/restaurant/nightclubs given permission to hold these street disco's are:  Miss Molly Is-Sienja Bugibba Holday Complex Flamingo, Wise Guy Sounds Next Time Whiskey Coconut Crystal Inn Piano Bar Angelo's 2 to name just a few. Most of the entertainment places have no formal permission to operate, and worst still are using public land and pavment to operate.

Miss_60 Â Â 10 #9 Posted June 17, 2003 I think its absolutely disgraceful when people behave in the most deplorable manner under the influence of any intoxicating drug, be it alcohol or drugs. Â Its a shame that SOME Brits give the whole nation a bad name by behaving like idiots abroad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
