Today a lady at the kebab place gave me a look.... I hesitated to leave a few cents but from my short experience in this island I never seen anyone leaving a tip either. In Spain you don't, in Italy it depends on the area, in France is a federal ...

Pollution levels if living near to Gzira? by StimpsonJ
I was considering taking up employment in Malta, working around Gzira, and hopefully living close enough that I could commute by bicycle (I've been able to cycle around Sliema no problems when I visited.. certainly safer than cycling in ...
Birgu is nice. It seems to have more pedestrianized areas which mean less pollution. There's that dreadful mess they're making at Marsa which would affect your commute, though. Read More

SimCityAt That's not true. Michelle's point was valid. You can get away with a lot more here than in Canada (big country) for example. If I have a rental dispute in a Cdn province I go to a gov't office to have it settled fairly. As far ... Read More

'Why I left Malta.' - blog by Jean Galea. by Maltaexpat64
Jean Galea is a self-described 'digital nomad.' Although he is born-and-bred Maltese, he elected to leave Malta and now lives elsewhere. Here is his article. Any comments by the expat community in Malta? ...
He isn't naive, he's realistic. I've been in Malta almost 3 years (except for the summers), and it can only take so much overcrowding, over development and destruction of nature before it becomes an unpleasant place to live. My mum was ... Read More
