One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A lot of great moments come in mind. But one very recent, June'15 in Malta, Europe, was renting a very old red Jeep in Gozo Island with my four friends. It was the only car available that we can afford. I was the driver and that was my first time left-hand driving! The traffic was crazy and I couldn't stop laughing, a mix of fun and nervousness. After a sunny Monday knowing beautiful beaches, we ended up the day at the Azure Window, a Maltese limestone natural arch situated near Dwejra Bay, seeing the sunset there. I felt very grateful and happy that day!
