Hello everyone! According to the 2016 UN World Happiness Survey, Denmark, Switzerland and Iceland are the happiest countries on earth. How about you? Are you happy in Malta? Do you feel happier today in your host country than before in your ...
YES. People may be loud, but they are mostly friendly and helpful. Be nice to them, they'll be nice to you. You get what you give. And most of the Maltese are very honest people. It does not mean I approve of everything I see here. But nor did ... Read More

Is private health insurance advised in Malta? by Sam4321
Do people usually get private health insurance in Malta, even if they're entitled to use the state system when they're paying into it? Our accountant suggested we just downgrade our policy, but not to go totally without private cover ...
Malta being a small country, the same doctors work at Mater Dei and at the private hospitals. In that respect, you'll get the same quality doctors from both systems. It is more a comfort choice, I think: you can have a private room at St James ... Read More
Trying to call a french 0811 number from Malta by djinn
Hello, This question is presumably more for french expats in Malta. I'm trying to call the Service des Relations Internationales de l'Assurance Maladie (= Sécurité Sociale des Français de l'Etranger) in France. Although ...
Thank you, jj2013. I called "Bercy", explained my problem and they ended up "as a matter of exception" connecting me directly with 3646 - who supposedly will call me back in Malta. This was a good idea you gave me! It's so ... Read More

Renting a car for 3 weeks by reggietarrent
Is there a recommended service or process to renting a car for 3 weeks? I have a UK drivers license and I'm not sure what else I need. Are there any common pitfalls in the card rental process? A reputable company recommendation would be ...
Not advertising, just sharing experience. For two yearsI repeatedly rented cars locally with Budget and Avis and they never cheated me. The state of the cars varies, but if you have a problem, you phone them, take the car back and they'll ... Read More

Iyengar yoga by djinn

When in Malta again in a few weeks, I'll contact the yoga places in Valletta (there seem to be two of them), but I don't think they have such a course. I thought the forum might help. I'll post information, should I find some from other ... Read More
