TIM calls me like 5 times a week to sell me stuff - they are just dumb. It's one of those where it calls you, and rings their end when you answer. I've told them to stop, but they just keep ringing, day after day after day. Read More
Cost Sharing - Heading to Malta in Jan (help with dogs/car) by Dorieus
Hiya all, When my family come up in January, we thought we would buy a car (if we can - needed to) and drive down - though I'm contemplating taking Air Malta with the 2 dogs - it seems it'll cost around 650 with everyone and their flights ...
Foxglove - I have checked - it's still cheaper to buy a car in the UK and drive it up AND pay registration tax on it in most cases. Cars that sell for 2k in the UK are 6-7k in Malta (with about 2/2.5k adds it works out cheaper still). Some cars ... Read More

Rio is great - Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, Santa Tereza at night, The Maracana, Copa Cabana, Ipanema and Le Blanc. There's so much to do at night, I wouldn't even know where to start. You could kill a week there, but I'd say after a ... Read More
Customer care in Brazil 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 Brazil and ...
Simply put - there is no customer service in Brazil. If your food is cold, they may re-heat it (don't expect anything like a refund) - if your internet stops working, don't expect them to pull out the stops to fix it. A complaint or customer ... Read More
Tough to adjust to the life in Malta by GeorgeMalta
Yes, I have a hard time to adjust so it would be great to meet new open-minded friends here....
Yeah, I guess some people can feel a little vulnerable in that type of circumstance. I think it may be a clash of cultures a little - probably because they get a lot of foreigners, or may be suspicious of such conversations so early. If I were you, ... Read More

New to forum, feeling a bit lonely in Malta by MintyMagic
Hi there. I'm new around here...to the forum, not Malta. A bit about me: well, I moved to Malta a little over 8 years just after turning 30. It's been the best decision I have ever made. Unfortunately, I just can't seem to meet anyone ...
I'm a Welshman (though lived in Brazil for the past 12 years) heading to Malta at the end of year, will be good to get a beer with someone! Read More
Recruitment Agency by shouhan_li
Hi all, My name is Shy, currently in Doha Qatar. Me and my fiance are both living and working in Doha Qatar for 4 years now and thought it is the best time to move :) My fiance has been offered a job in Malta (he is Brit so easy for him to get a ...
I think if you can prove your relationship with your fiance over time, then you are classed as a EU freedom of movement. I know wives, kids and stuff all go over with the British passport, I imagine partners also classify. Read More

Are you there alone George? What do you mean by open-mindedness (things related to sexuality, religion)? Possibly you could take up a hobby, study group or something like that in order to meet people - not sure on your work situation. Read More
Sailing scene in Malta by Dorieus
Hiya all, My family and I are moving to Malta at the end of this year, and I'm looking into getting into sailing (living on an island in the middle of the Med, I'd be crazy not to look into it!). I know pretty much nothing about sailing, ...
Yeah, I was expecting costs to be the same. The % value really does depend on the state, value of your yacht, and where you moor it. I'm not sure on the mooring fees in Malta specifically, but it will vary depending on how long you are there, ... Read More

Yeah, I was wondering how hard/common that would be (I'm assuming not very hard due to Malta being an island). Of course I would be willing to help with costs especially in the beginning when I'm learning, can't have someone else pay my ... Read More

You don't get paid if the class is cancelled at the last minute? We usually get paid, unless the students cancels 24 hours ahead in Brazil! I don't think I'll do much school teaching in Malta, unless I'm really having problems. The ... Read More

I've not been, but apparently there are quite a lot of schools - but they usually prefer Maltese and the pay isn't great. There seem to be lots of jobs on the phone, and with international companies though, if your English is good (someone ... Read More

Surely you can find houses that aren't made of limestone, if they are the problem? Regarding the narrow streets, it's always a problem in older cities, and Malta is pretty old. In the newer countries they would just move people back and ... Read More
