I decided to place a cache in Hamrun not only because it would be the only one (and we actually work here), but also because this central maltese town/city is very often overlooked, by locals as well as tourists. You can't deny that it is somewhat rough around the edges, in fact many regard it as Malta's downtown. Despite all this, it still has a unique charm to it, as this interesting article illustrates.
Some things to look out for in this town would be the Parish church of St. Cajetan, the old-fashioned, retro shop fronts and signs and the numerous cane-work (Tal-Qasab) craftsman workshops. The town also boast of the highest concentration of schools in Malta.
The cache is named after the nickname given to the people of Hamrun. The townspeople are traditionally known as Tas-Sikkina (literally meaning 'of the knife' or 'those who carry a knife') or as Ta' Werwer (which literally means 'those who scare' or more colloquially, 'the scary ones'). This appellation could stem from the fact that a considerable number of Hamrunizi used to work as stevedores on the docks and thus carried a knife at all times. Another theory was that the community of Sicilians who settled here illegally in the 16th century danced a traditional dance which involved the wielding of small stilettos which they carried in their socks, waving them in the air and back to their sheaths.

Be extremely cautious in retrieving and placing cache back due to (the very curious) muggles that like to chill in the nearby piazza.
Some busses that pass through Hamrun are numbers 42, 51-53, 58, 58A, 61-64
