Will be in Valleta, on the East coast on Malta, the first two weeks of April. Anybody been there? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance... prog

Made it to Malta after many hours in the air in many hours waiting in Rome... Malta has a population of about 300,000 people. The Maltese Islands consist three island, in which Malta is the largest and holds about 90% of the population. After a day of rest I headed over to 'Party Town' which is a district in Sliema that contains all the bars and clubs... Got there around 6:00 PM and didn't see a whole lot of action. By about 8:30 PM the whole scene changed! The streets were full of people. I headed over to the Footloose club where I immediately hooked up with a lovely Maltese lady named Dorathey (who is a private tour guide). We partied all night and said our goodbyes around 4:30 AM. She promised to take me over to the dark-side of Malta. A couple days later she picked me up at my hotel and off we went to the Norhtern side of the Island - to the town of St. Joseph. There I found the strip and private clubs. Was not impressed. Prostitution is illegal in Malta and most of the women were butt-ugly at best. I talked Dorathey into going back to 'party town', where we tied it on again. This time she really got smashed... I offered to get her a cab home but she told me her husband (YES, I DIDN'T SHE WAS MARRIED) was pissed at her for going out again and told her not to come home that night. I offered her my extra bed and she accepted. I had an extra toothbrush from the flight and offered it to her... I passed out around 3:00 AM, only to be to woke up around dawn by her naked body laying against mine. I wasn't sure if I should attempt anything (I was fucked over by my ex-wife and didn't want that on my conscience). I snuggled against her but my woody appearently woke her up. She told me she always wanted to feel an American in her. That's all it took. I was just drunk enough to fuck her but not too sober to where I'd blow my load too soon. I ordered us breakfast afterwards and we said our goodbyes around noon. I only have two more days here and she insisted on taking me on another tour - where? she wouldn't say!... (prog)

Hey Progman,

Great reports about an area I'm sure a lot of us aren't familiar with. Getting any pics? When you get back it'd be great if you post some.

Hi Red,

I have a couple of pics. Haven't done much more siteseeing other than what I mentioned in my last post - I hate it when work gets in the way of pleasure! I don't have a scanner but will find someone who does... (prog)

Okay, it's been a week and a half and I now consider myself to be an expert on Maltese women and nightlife... I have a couple of corrections to my previous posts: The town I mentioned iwas 'St Paul', not 'St Joseph'. The nightclub district is called 'Paceville', not 'Partytown'... Paceville is in the town of St Jullians. If you stay in Sliema it's only a 15 cent (40 cents US) to St. Jullians...

Found several working girls doing the clubs on Saturday night. Most ranged prices from LM30 to LM100 (A Maltese Lira equals approx $2.23 USD). Most were in their late 20's to early 30's. They were all 10's! They MO was the same. They hang out next to the bar and wait for you to approach them. You buy them a couple of drinks (no such thing as a ficha drink) and dance a little. They then ask you if you've found a girlfriend for the night. If not they'll be your girl friend... LM 10 will get you 1 hour. LM 30 will get you 2 hours. LM 100 will get you all night. You pay for their cab fare back home. Since I was already setup for the trip with Dorathey I declined but a couple of British tourist friends I had met had done the routine and said these girls were well worth ever Lira. Just a side note: Since the Maltese Islands was under Bristish rule until 1979 they drive on the wrong side of the road and refer to the Lira as a Pound. It was a fun trip, although I definately wouldn't have made the journey on my own dime. My thanks to Uncle Sam and the US taxpayer (yes - you, my fellow mongers)... prog

Good to hear my tax dollars are finally going to a worthy cause!

"The Gut" in Malta: the longest-standing continually used strip and prostitution alley in the world. According to Desmond Morris. But then, what does he know, he's just an old punter.

There's another "Gut" in Gibraltar.

Both are just the alley-ways where, under Empire, the English seamen enjoyed their shore leaves. I would hazard that Pat Pong and / or any of a number of places in Athens are longer-standing and more continually used. And who keeps these statistics anyway, the Bureau of Land Management or something? "Official prostitution and other illegal activity zone. Street Corner 26, Athens, Greece. Founded, 129 BC. First clients, several mercenaries from Akkadia. Largely un-developed until 426 AD, when Hadrian gave extra furlough to the eleven legions responsible for completing his Wall. Another noteworthy episode took place in 1783, when a boatload of Hessians found themselves ... ." Whatever.
