Hi all, I moved to Malta 5 month ago with my boyfriend (Italian/French) and as we are just now completed the settling-in I feel we are ready to know more people to hang around with. We left the hectic life style of London to live in this great ...
Hi. I might come as well to Cafe Cuba this evening, but how to recognize ourselves? :) Read More
dehumidifiers by mada3
Hi, I saw that someone posted a link from amazon where you can buy dehumidifiers for closets, bathrooms etc. I think the link was taken off the forum because I can't seem to find it. Could someone possibly send me the link to me please? Or can you ...

Gzira collect glass for recycling every two weeks. If you ask in the council they will give you a calendar with the dates for collection. For where we live in Gzira, collection day for glass is on a Friday and other recycling is weekly on a ... Read More
Hot water? by Duxx
Anybody has a clue why my hot water is yellow? cold water is ok, but when I fill out the tub hot water is yellow, also in kitchen (different heater) is the same situation Landlords don't know why is so, I doubt it's the main heater as it's new, but ...

Dealing with Neighbours' Dogs by SportsMan
What is it with this country and dogs!!!! They all love their precious dogs, but for the Maltese it seems that having a dog means buying it, and locking it on your roof (or balcony!!) 24 hours a day and just keep it there, rain and now a shine of up ...
Same goes with birds (and some of them can really be noisy and disturbing). Maltese seems to like having birds in cage... For me having a bird in cage is not a proof of being an animal-lover, and even something sellfish. I always feel sad and ... Read More

Hi. Other questions regarding wine bottles. Are they returnable like in other countries ? I often see an additional fee on my receipts when I buy some wine (but not for all bottles). Are we supposed to bring the bottles back to the shop and ... Read More

By the way, in case some of you don't know, you get 2 or 3 free packs of water (or one pack of softdrinks or 5 voucher alternatively) when you spend 100 or more in Scotts or Tower Supermarket in Sliema. I don't know about other ... Read More

Melita TV + Internet by michael78
Hi guys, when I came to Malta someone organized Melita for me as I didnt have a Resident Card at that time (still dont have it, but that doesnt matter now). I didnt sign any contract, just a receipt for the Netbox as far as I recall. Now we have ...
You shouldn't have a minimum lenght requirement if you registered as a non-resident. When I arrived I wasn't "allowed" to select packages offers (for 12 or 24 months) because I didn't have an ID yet. Then I just took TV + Internet. I still pay ... Read More

Car hire recommendations by Sliema <3
My parents are coming over for a week in May and are insisting on hiring a car. Can anyone recommend reasonably priced, established companies?
Hi. Any news since the last post of this topic on last year ? :) I plan to rent a small car for a bit more than one week. No more than 180 (I'm almost sure I can make it within that budget). Are there some good and reliable renting companies in ... Read More
Internet by Borka
Hello guys, can you help me - how it is going with the internet in Malta? A family who rented me an apartment asked me to pay 1 EUR/ a day for cable internet. Is it O.K. or it would be worth to buy the internet independently? I am coming for one ...
You can always check the official prices on their website anyway. I never heard that Melita was making foreigners pay more (and even less doubling the price, this is a bit weird). From my experience : When I arrived in my new flat, I got a phone ... Read More

Hi. May someone please give me the rates for electricity and water in Malta (price per kW, and the price for 1 cubic meter of water (at normal rates)) ? What would be the residential rates by the way (even if I don't think I will manage to get ...
I know about the bill that should be a proper one, but thing is I will actually not wait for it. It takes too long and I want the regularization from my landlord now. These ARMS pages and rates should be helpful enough to pay the "right" price ... Read More
