Drives on the left
Cyprus: Limestone walls + triq → Malta; Greek script → Cyprus.
United Kingdom: Mediterranean dryness + limestone → Malta.
Plates: blue strip left, but short plates are very common (unlike most of Europe)
Landscape: slightly hilly dry agricultural fields, 1-2-lane roads, cacti & dry shrubs (Mediterranean)
Limestone rock walls extremely common - this alone usually identifies Malta
Low buildings w/ white-to-beige walls, often limestone-built
Traditional covered balconies, often painted in bright colours
Street = "triq" - on almost every street sign
Bus stops very common - sometimes with useful location info
Double yellow no-parking lines along road edges
United Kingdom: Limestone + dry Mediterranean look → Malta.
Ireland: Green lush landscape → Ireland; dry beige → Malta.
English is the primary language; Maltese also everywhere - Latin script w/ unique letters Ċ Ġ Ħ Ż
Ħ/ħ is the giveaway - no other Latin-script language uses the barred H.
