Seting up our teamspeak software to be used during the JOTI. Teamspeak was preferred by our older members. Was much easier for them to use the microphone rather then the keyboard. They are astonished by the change brought by new technologies

Contacts

We had the most interesting contact with

Oman
Oman
Why was this contact so special?
Helped each other with some internet issues especialy regrding teamspeak before and during the Joti. Talking to scouts from this country led us to the discovery of common aspects among our two countries, one of which is our semitic language. This was proved by exchanging the numbers from 1 to 10, the result was astonishing. Switching our language from english to Maltese we managed to comunicate even better.

Any continuing contact
Decided to swap some scouts notes and even some activity ideas.

We also made contact with the following countries:
JOTI Argentina, Austria, Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Barbados, Bulgaria, Brunei Darussalam, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Ethiopia, Finland, France, United Kingdom, Gambia, Hong Kong, Israel, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Democratic People's Republic of, Luxembourg, Latvia, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Malta, Mexico, Namibia, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Qatar, Serbia, Russian Federation, Sudan, Sweden, Slovenia, Tunisia, United States, South Africa
