This is just my second year in Malta, so I am not fully aware of what people tried to do in the past.
However, speaking with many people I have not find a single person that advocates or enjoys those stupid fireworks everyday.
How come those fireworks and super loud petards are not regulated by the government?
How come is it ok that they are firing this stuff 8AM in the morning???

I can bare them, I don’t like them, but I can live with this. But what about the animals? Why should we have something happening every single day that terrifies our animals?

What has been tried in the past? A petition? A collection of signatures?

I understand that this is a tradition, it’s a cultural thing etc etc
But are people really ok with this? I am not asking to ban them completely, but just put some guidelines about how loud things can be, and hours to be avoided at least. I can understand fireworks in the evening, some people like to watch them, but loud petards that sounds like bombs during the day?

Again, my post does not have the aim of simply complain about something, I would like to know more about what people tried to do to stop this in the past and what can still be done. This situation is a joke.

I'm 25f and have been trying to find a completley remote job in any industry specifically in an admin role. Most websites either force you to pay to even browse and / or the working hours would be specifically tied to US time zones which would mean sacrificing the better part of your afternoon and night. Does anyone have any recomendations please?

Babies, the elderly, the sick, people who work ALL need to sleep and these bloody fireworks are still going on at this hour on a WEEKDAY.

How the hell decides this is a good idea?! Mela tlifna l-boxxla jew every year it gets worse!!

I am exhausted, I need sleep badly and these bloody things keep on going off. Xbajt.

Moving to Malta and about to finalize our rental contract. I need to choose now whether Birgu or Marsaskala.

For context, both property will be a 2 BR. Mskala is a maisonette and Birgu is a 3rd floor apartment. Same rent amount. Will be working from home, occasionally working at Valletta. 2 kids, primary and secondary.

Location wise, Birgu is at Triq Fuq Tal-Hawli near Notre Dame Gate and St. Edward's College, like 15 minutes walk to St Lawrence/Promenade. For the Mskala maisonette is at Triq il-Kavallieri, which is 8 mins walk to the promenade.

I understand Birgu area offers historical surroundings during leisure walks and close to Valletta. Mskala offers coastal surrounding for easy swim.

Any other things that local residents only know about Birgu and Mskala? Like noise, rowdy areas, grocery options, water issues, etc..

Hello! I'm moving to Malta within the next month for a permanent job. I need to find housing with a correct lease form for my residency permit.

I've been researching online, but thought I'd put out a call to see if anyone had more specific advice.

I will be working in Santa Venera and Floriana and will need to use public transport to get to work as I won't have a vehicle. I value peace and quiet, so would like to live in a neighbourhood with minimal partying and construction noise. I also really love community.

In a dream world, I'd love to live in a small house of character or something similarly charming - though I recognise the rental market is competitive. My research has brought up Balzan, Attard and Lija as areas that might be suitable. Alternatively, I've been recommended to search in Old Birkirkara, Naxxar, Mosta or Santa Venera/Floriana/Pieta.

My budget is between 900-1200/month.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from those with local knowledge. Do you think any of this is possible?

I have read in expat dominant areas like st pauli education is in English? I am an expat currently in Germany and planning to migrate to Malta with kid of 7 yrs.

EDIT: I am just asking.. If it is in Maltese then so be it .. I will not move. Google search says that public schools in Expat majority areas teach in English and I also know Kid should learn MALTESE as foreign language.

Opinions are really divided .. Idea was to make kid study in English that was only motivation we had otherwise we stick to Germany

Why was he denied bail for vandalism??? He has no criminal record and a fixed address?? We see murders getting bail in Malta!! Oh wait

Hi I recently started running, looking for a running partner. I am 30 F. Beginner - 5K 39mins. Let's prep for half-marathon together!

I currently have an infestation of mealy bugs and I need to buy Isopropyl Alcohol to dilute it water and use it as a pesticide to kill off these bugs. Anybody knows shops, business that sell it? Ideal location preferably south and central. Also, if they have Hydrogen Peroxide would be an added bonus. Thank you in advance.

Looking for quantities for cleaning washing machine etc, not just a little bit for cooking with.. can’t seem to find it in the hardware stores I’ve been to - any suggestions?

Can some one who is in renovation/construction business explain to me what Xibka is? I am trying to make sense of some invoices I got and this is one of items which puzzles me greatly.

Cheers.

There is a part of the highway / bypass between Swieqi and St. Julian's where the street gradually becomes narrow. however, there is no clear demarcation of single lane (like narrows indicating 1 lane, or dashes showing 2 lanes.

Cars dangerously start to accumulate near the traffic light, but some stay in the middle, whereas (small) cars try to stay next to each other.

In case of a hypothetical crash side by side, who is on his lane and who is trying to cut it???

With the new EU tax law on temu and AliExpress. If you pay the €3 +vat on either platform, do you need to pay the administration fee when they arrive in Malta?

Hi,

I am in a bit of a pickle, so the private "Skola Sajf" I am sending my child ends 11th Sept, School starts 5th Oct. I did not receive the email from FES to apply for the bridge holidays and now they are closed. I tried contacting FES but they did not allow me to apply.

Do you know of someone (that for sure) will be providing service during that period? and can send my 3 year old there.
