New place to live

Hi Noja

There are a couple of sites which may get you going.

A few suggestions, as I am planning on doing the move this year from Switzerland, so can share some experiences.

1) Have you actually visited Malta with your family? This is important to get a feel for the place and make sure everyone feels comfortable as the areas vary and each place has a distinctive feel and atmosphere. And sometimes whats on the brochure, is not what you get.

2) When you are down have a look with the some of the estate agents who could show you different options on accomodation, which would suit you.

3) Are your kids going to school, and at what level do they need to participate check http://www.education.gov.mt/edu/schools.htm
will it be private or state, as the state schools are pretty good. however there would be the addition of Maltese language to learn + English if this is not the first language of kids.

4)For employment options best is to make contact with some of the companies where you would potentially like to work and find out about the conditions etc.

5) Finally try and check the newspapers for Malta you can do that here http://www.pressdisplay.com. I did this for a few months to get a feel of what the issues are. A subscription costs about 9 usd a month, but they give you a free trial. It hosts both the Independent and Times and Weekend editions of these papers.

I think this should keep you going, if you have any more questions ask.

Best regards

Hi,

reading Maltese newspapers in advance is a very good idea. There are two English language publications, The Independent and the Times.

The Malta Times has a very good website and it is free and very frequently updated.

timesofmalta.com

I read it all the time in Malta.
