It wasn't really on my list. Heck, I didn't even know it existed until meeting the hubby, and until I saw the dot in the ocean on the plane's "where we are now" map, I didn't even really know where it was exactly. And the multilingual thing is not unique to the Toronto area Maltese, the actual Maltese all seemed to know english pretty well and switched freely between our language and theirs.
On the other hand, husband (who is half Maltese himself) and I (100% British, but I do know French) learned not a word of Maltese. Kind of insulting I guess as we were the visitors, but I can't really justify learning a whole language for an 8-day trip either ;)
Anyway, if you ever get to that point on your list, give me a ring and I'll be happy to tell you all the must-see sights. Including the one you have to book months in advance that we unfortunately didn't learn existed until we got there - drat. Well, if we ever go back, it'll be on the list.
