Thanks guys. Similar to the UK. There was a time when 5% of parcels were flagged in the UK and not 95% of parcels are flagged :( I guess Malta might be similar. Read More

I see you extended your answer in your edit and I think I understand your point more. You suggest that rents are not inflated in Sliema area and there is value to be got. I think based on what I am looking for in Sliema area, this is not the case ... Read More

You don't think rental prices in the Sliema area are excessively or unreasonably high? Oops, I saw you clarified this in your edit. I am in Sliema and have been viewing places for the past week. About 5 per day. Read More

Nothing personal taken but I would disagree that people think that there is nowhere else to live. I don't for one minute think that these are the only areas to live but when I weight up all the factors involved in my life, these areas make the ... Read More

Driving to GYM in Rabat by reggietarrent
I am looking to join a Crossfit gym in Rabat as it seems to best suit my training. I ideally would like a closer gym to the centre areas such as Sliema, StJulians or Ta Xbix but it appears that had the facilities of Crossfit356 but gyms in Malta ...
The conclusion I expected to be drawn that the gym was a Crossfit Rabat - maybe that was too broad. Yes, I got loads of information from your helpful post. I +1 it in that thread, thanks very much again. Okay, I hope your training is going well ... Read More

Thanks for the replies guys. Regarding the questions above. Yes I have been to Malta numerous times. I aimed to live very central and I was accessing the feasibility of travelling to the gym every day. Maybe its different for you guy, but the gym ... Read More

Yep, I'm seeing this too based on some prices at estate agents but I guess everything is up for a haggle!. I think adapting to living further away from Sliema and St Julians might be a good option. Read More

Thanks for your reply. Yep the walk seems fine at the distance but when you might be in Ta Xbix and living in Paceville it could be 40-50 min walk? I got the bus the other day and it was misery at rush hour. I'd walk it instead.That said, I ... Read More
