The wonders of technology keep on surprising us. This time, we learnt how to record our screen while we work. Extremely practical for instruction giving or to make presentations.

Thanks a bunch, Maltese demons, for demonstrating that Halloween is indeed celebrated on the Island! Superb costumes, by the way! Video shot at the Barrakka viewpoint.

MALTA, HERITAGE, CULTURE AND LANGUAGE LEARNING
With 7,000 years of history, the Maltese Islands are steeped in culture and heritage.This historic legacy,
unique in the Mediterranean, is reflected in the country’s national
architecture and collections. There are so many areas of heritage and culture
to be explored – the 16th century masterpiece Grandmasters’ Palace, which is
now parliament, the “Sacra Infermeria”, which is now a fully equipped
conference centre, the St. James Centre for Creativity – a superbly restored
fortification where contemporary works of art are exhibited against the
original rough-textured walls and rediscovered spaces. With these buildings,
past and present blend into an enduring and admirable lesson in the art of
living.
The arts have always played a large role in
Maltese culture and continue to do so with cultural events occurring
frequently. The National Museum of Fine Arts, housed in an exuberant Rococo
building dating from the 1570’s, exhibits some magnificent art, ranging from
the early Renaissance to modern times. Both established and budding artists are
encouraged to display their efforts through publicly-supported programs. There
is always an exhibition of some kind running.
Mediterranean theatre and
music are also very popular in the Islands. A variety of theatres - including
the Valletta's Manoel Theatre and two opera houses in Victoria (Gozo) - as well
as several open-air venues offer wide selection of plays, musicals, operas and
concerts.
