  • Malta week 5

    September 15, 2018 in Malta ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    I am assimilating to Maltese way of life - chase, chase and more chase. Nothing happens smoothly on this island and getting frustrated won’t solve the problem.

    Work wise, things are slow due to political turf wars in-between directors. Such a small company but so many power hungry people. I am just here to enjoy the ride and pass go to collect my cash. Most expats here get paid around €60k (my guess). If things don’t go well, we will try to get other jobs in iGaming. Kenny is quite loyal to the company which is great.

    Kenny has been terribly ill as well and I am scared to look at his gum! Settling down is not easy. Sometimes I would ask myself is it worth to move given the life in Sydney is pretty good and comfortable. However, life is like a cocoon, warm and comfortable, but if I don't come out, I will die!

    Some observations:
    - Maltese event starts at least 30min late
    - Private health here does not cover dental, optometry nor massage
    - Language sometimes can be hard to understand
    - Gyms like fitness first is hard to find
    - I miss my standing desk at home
    - I miss the quite waterfront home on Refinery Drive
    - I miss the convenience of having everything I need in my home and around where I live
    - I learn to appreciate good infrastructure, healthcare, and clean & green environment
