Thank you and goodbye by felinefine81
Hi I want to thank all the people who have provided advice and support over the last 9/10 months while my husband and I contemplated moving to Malta, planned our move and after we arrived. I think this is a brilliant site - no better way to get ...
Not a set in stone plan but we'll come up with something I'm sure. I have no regrets, if we hadn't tried it then we'd always have wondered. Read More

Why did you move to Malta? by felinefine81

Bernie - do you not get decent summers in Austria? I know it wouldnt be as hot as the south med but I was always under the impression that the summer would be pretty dry and mild there. I know the winters, especially in the mountains, will be ... Read More

Customer care in Malta by Priscilla
Hello everyone, The way customer services are handled can greatly affect your views on certain brands, products, companies or stores. As a consumer, it is important to get familiar with local practices regarding client assistance in Malta and try ...
We've experienced a real mix. We've had great service in our local band and society clubs -friendly, polite, prompt etc. We've also had some really rude service in supermarkets and in restaurants in more touristy places. One thing ... Read More
cosmetics in malta by charmender
Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy facial wash in Malta like nivea brand etc and other cosmetics like body cream. I am looking for a shop similar to Boots in UK/Ireland but can't see to find a similar one here? Pharmacies in Ireland sell ...
charmender Smart Supermarket is in Birkirkara. I'm sure you must have something more convenient in Sliema between the shops and supermarkets. Smart does do online delivery if necessary but there are far fewer products on the website than there ... Read More

Yeah Smart def has Nivea and I also got Nivea handcream in one of the small pharmacies on Republic St in Valletta one day, so the brand is pretty common here. Haven't seen anything like a Boots equivalent here at all. Read More

Article on Maltese opinion of silence by felinefine81
I read this article today and it stood out to me because of the issues I'm having while trying to get used to the noise here. ...
Of course I researched it. But research means nothing - you don't know how you'll react until you experience it properly. I didn't think I was particularly bothered about noise having lived in a city and in a flat for years and years ... Read More

Thanks I'll have a look. Matm911 suggested on another post that I change my career if I don't like my job in Malta. I don't think it's worth giving my career up for Malta, but I do wonder about Germany! Probably a pipedream... One ... Read More

So a few weeks before I came here I actually posted on my FB page that if I was made prime minister one of the first things I'd do would be make a law that people could only do gardening at specified times! I was only joking really, it ... Read More

GozoMo do your son and his family speak fluent German? Have always wondered realistically what level of German you'd need to live in Germany or Austria as they are two of my favorite countries :) Not sure how well I would pick it up, my memory ... Read More
