All in all I am thankful that I am healthy and have a good job and I can live in this country and I have some savings and I have good friends. I don't get out much, my friends are from work and they have families and so I pretty much live alone. My one thing that I do for myself is every year I go on holiday to Malta. I go to Malta during the height of the season, I have my reservations well in advance. While I am on holiday I hire a young man. There are many young men who come to Malta during the season and they are available for hire and they can do so many wonderful things.

I am a regular, I have been going to Malta for 11 years now, I stay at the same hotel and I go down to this local small restaurant and bar and I ask the bartender to find me someone who will come see me and take care of me. I pay well, better than I probably need to pay, and I also pay the bartender for setting things up for me. He knows that I am particular, I like the young men from Serbia, something about those war torn country men. Well I better shut up, if only I could tell my friends back home not to worry about me, I have had the hordes at my doorstep and survived.
