    How funny Tom, I'm from Bedford not far from Luton. Bedford has gone down so much the last 2 years, in terms of the town. Luton always had a bad reputation but is improving more than Bedford! Anyhow, we are moving in July to Malta and can't wait now! It's May and still drizzly and cloudy here! I do find the expat pages very useful but I agree many negative comments.

    Good and bad in every place one chooses to live, issues much more polarised in a small country like Malta. As long as the sun shines then its a good day.

    Alex,
    I’m from the Isle of Man , UK and growing up there , all my school friend’s couldn’t wait to leave the island.
    I think it’s living in a confined area.
    Out of my 7 best friend’s only one lives there now.
    I still love island life and would be happy with living in Malta!

    nice! but way too short for a guest like Tom. He probably could have shared a story or two related to the Island! share favorite places. what he would do if he had just a week or even a weekend on the Island. where he takes his guests who probably visit him from time to time? second visit on the show is very appreciated 🙂

      Good to finally "meet" Tom . Great video. Surprised that the construction issues wasn't mentioned as a dislike, which bothers the majority of us especially local. As a small island, our infrastructure really can't take too many people in one apt which is causing drainage problems, not withstanding its causing power cuts esp in the summer months. Sorry these issues weren't brought up, badly needed. Great video otherwise, thanks guys. ❤

    I'm not going to tutor anyone, but the grass is greener on the other side. As a Maltese born and raised, every country has its own good and bad but Malta is being destroyed because of politicians and the worst of all it's the European Union bullying countries like us.
    Many leaders influencers back in the day have predicted the country would be the way it is.
    Why do foreigners have a 2-5 percent tax as self employed yet a maltese born and raised pays the full amount ?
    It's things like this that pisses me off. What about the refugees that are coming into my country and getting all the benefits for free from our hard paying money. The Maltese government apart from that helps them with building a company like these sirians with the gypsum and construction businesses. This is not right ! You help the poor and middle class people to get on their feet who are maltese cause of the cost of living in our country and not help these refugees who come with no identification.
    This is very unfair to Maltese and no f@#£ing wonder why Maltese are leaving the country
    We should have the right for freedom of speech, we can't say stuff like this as we are labeled as racists or fascists. We are Maltese and we are protective for our country.

    Great 1st podcast, keep it up please.
    On the negative sides about Malta guys you forgot to mention the cleanliness and especially the garbage collecting system, where all of us we have to leave the trash bags in front of our home. 🥹 Meaning there are no certain pick-up points, no containers. Anyone can leave it just anywhere, and the narrow pavements are pilled up.
    This is so hard to control or even to fine the people, especially a tourist country like Malta.
    Come on, Alex, even Skopje, your city is much more organised in this case and you consider it as lower standard of living.
    As a tourist, when I go abroad, the first thing i notice is the cleanliness of the country. If you see it clean it means the government is more caring about the environment, it's more organised, the country's people are more respectful and carefull if you see it dirty you think all the opposite.
    Please speak up about this.🥹
    One more time great first podcast, the studio looks amazing.
