I'm working overseas on a sailing yacht. One day a guy passed a comment about Malta and I would like to publish to let everyone knows what's happening.

This is the comment this Italian guest made during an afternoon sail on this 56-ft sailing yacht I work on: "Yes, you're from Malta? I met a guy on the train the other day who had just been in Malta for holidays. He said that it was pretty hot and that there is only one mountain on the island and is made out of rubbish!"

I felt so bad, knowing that, of all the beauty our islands offer, this is what that guy remembers of my country. Like you, I always talk highly of Malta, so I personally can't accept a comment like that. I hope you politicians are doing something about this!
