Following fashion in the USA by Priscilla

Hi everyone, Do you follow fashion trends in the USA? Every country and every culture has its own dress code. As far as you are concerned, have you changed the way you dress? Can one easily find fashion boutiques in the USA? Are clothes ...

I would say that in general, Americans are much more casual dressers than Europeans, for example. Women are not always made up with their hair done when they leave the house to run errands, like they would be for work. While there's no 'one ... Read More

Do I need more than one property agency? by felinefine81

Hi We have found a very helpful and responsive agent at Quicklets who we will use when we move over. However can I have comfort that this one agent/agency will have access to any property that may come on the market? Should I be in touch with ...

eatw

You may need more than one agency. Most do not have access to all listings. Some landlords only list with one agent exclusively, while others list with several agents. Some agents only have listings in a particular geographic area, like St Julians ... Read More

Environmental protection in Malta by Kenjee

Hi, Environmental protection is a challenging issue for all the countries around the world. Would you say this issue is deemed of significance in Malta? Is the country going green through initiatives like waste management and selective sorting ...

I didn't see the other replies before posting mine. I do have to agree that there is a lot of roadside/countryside self-help garbage disposal. This island was still considered 'developing' until it joined the EU. There is a long way to ... Read More

Hello! I can't write a lot right now, as I am studying for an exam on this very topic at the moment. I can say that the environment is definitely of concern in this Small Island State. There are many green initiatives. Malta has been an EU ... Read More

Organic Foods by Doga E

Hi, I just moved to Malta and I would love to find some real organic veggies, fruits, eggs even milk. Is there any farm or place that I can buy organic food? Thanks in advance.

The Veg Box was the place I had heard about. I have signed up with Barbuta, we'll get the first box in about ten days. I can report back. The prices seemed reasonable to me by comparison with the local shops. Read More

@Ray - That's very encouraging - maybe they are doing in old style but not bothering with touting their products as 'all natural' or getting certified as 'organic' because why bother? It could cut both ways, so I'm ... Read More

Ray, thanks - do you think the local veg truck guys do get their produce locally? My garden at home was organic by neglect, but I know some people wouldn't think twice about using chemicals, so just knowing who the grower is without knowing if ... Read More

Hi! We have been here a little over two months, and came from a region with lots of organic farming - I see now we were spoiled. Here, I have found the selection is dismal for organic fresh things in the three grocery stores in walking distance ... Read More
