Hi all.

Considering locations to live at the moment for when I arrive.

I shall be by myself and thinking I may only have a budget of around 450 euros a month top end for accommodation.聽 Looking at it, the north of the islands in places like buggibba look really cheap and I may have to potential to have my own place there. Slightly on the outskirts say birkikara I do not think my budget will go too far for a nice one or two bed.

Likely I will be working around birkikara or where companies have set up igaming.聽

My question is what is the drive like from North of the island to around San gwann around rush hour. Google telling me 18 minutes but I imagine this is some way out at 8 am or 5 pm?

Im living in Xemxija, and it takes me around 20 minutes to drive to St Julians using the new coastal road.
On rush hour, the bottleneck starts around Pembroke or directly after the new Coastal road ends.

Im usually leaving around 6.30am to work, and im in St Julians before 7am. I have chosen to work just outside the rushhour traffic, makes my life much easier. Good option to concider if you have flexihours.

I leave around 4pm, and it takes again 20-30 mins if there is no accidents on the way etc to drive to Xemxija.

During rushhour you need to add 15-30 mins to St Julians each way atleast. (with good luck)
