We took the tourist bus – I never got on those buses, but we figure out that we want to see both the Blue Grotto and the village of Marsaxlokk on the same day and to catch the flight that is the option we have =)
Only when riding across island we the bus we realized how much Catholic churches there around this island. I know this is very religious country, but it still amazed me. Then this divorce thing came across my mind (Malta is the last country in the EU to allow divorce. this wasn’t so long ago). Lately one girl of my age started in this process. Apparently I’m in the age that people got divorce (It isn’t so common in Israel, mainly because of the Jewish religion).
How do you choose someone for life? When you have an option to divorce it seem less permanent and less stress (although you say it is for life). On the other hand – maybe you develop love and learn how to live with someone. In the end – nobody is prefect.
