Mr. Azuma wrote his blog based on NHK TV Program “Malta as a Cat’s Island”.
Almost ten years ago, once I visited Malta. There I didn’t notice any cat.
But I enjoyed old castle in Valletta which was constructed Malta Knights.
Malta Knights were established as the Defenses VS Ottoman Turks.
But do you know it is still remaining, located in Roma ? Especially Malta Knights are recognized Observer of United Nations even now. They are usually engage ambulance in Italy, known by White Cross on Red. I never see them, if somebody watches them, please let me know.
It was my surprising, I found The Memorial Monument of Japanese Naval Destroyer!During WWⅠ, Japanese Destroyer “SAKAKI” has been to The Mediterranean Sea under The Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and was hit by torpedo from German submarine.

I also visited Malta about 20 years ago. Malta was under siege by Ottoman Empire in late 16th century and kept independence, capital city’s name “Valletta” came from the name of Malta knight group’s head at that moment. Malta is quite beautiful island in the middle of Mediterranean sea and has a great history, I recommend everybody to visit. However I couldn’t notice any cats.
