I understand you, as you came to live here and do not want to be disappointed, so you need to value the place. My case is different, as I have lived 9 years in Malta and am going to leave. Enough is enough! In 10 years, Malta as changed a lot: more ... Read More

SimCityAT, banning me because I disagree with you is intolerant behavior. For all that I did not infringe any rule of this forum. I tell you that the data is still mostly accurate, and can be updated now easily. Read More

Gozomo, can you specify who you are exactly? This not a "topic from five years ago". This is a very current topic! If this discussion was so obsolete, why is it still on line? Air quality has worsened in Malta. It becomes an increasingly ... Read More
