She is so right about grey skies and feeling excluded due to the language barrier. That's why we spend winters in Malta and summers in Southern Germany and my Maltese is good enough now to understand roughly ( very roughly) what my Maltese family and friends are talking about.🙂

I left Malta 16 years ago and do miss it but I don't regret leaving for Scotland it's a beautiful country with great people just can't get used to the weather lol

I am german and i want to say that if you work for an people's office where you register when you move or when you register your car it's often not allowed to speak english. If you do so you get into a bit of an dilemma once you can't 100% communicate an important issue. Often colleagues will criticize you for speaking another language than german since many people say "if they want to move here they have to know the language". So many people working in these offices speak english but in some cases it's not really something you "allowed" to do.

Nice interview Alex! I was 16 when I ventured out on my own and moved to Canada. Life was very different back in the 70s and I think it was so much easier to start a new life in a different country. ❤

Thank you Alex & Janice for a wonderful interview. Janice I can totally relate to what your saying about how the weather affects your moods. Moving from Australia (a very hot country with beautiful blue skies) to the UK (cold & grey skies most of the time) it most certainly changes the vibe & personality of people. Sometimes grey skies can be so depressing, but so many other reasons make a place beautiful & make up for the grey skies. I would love to be both of your neighbours. I love chatting about different countries & cultures, & could talk on this topic for hours. Have a wonderful weekend both of you, & once again thank you for taking your time to share your experiences with us..xx❤❤❤

Nice & relaxed interview. I was born in Australia ( my Parent's both Maltese) Was 9 years old when my Parent's decided to come back here, & I love 🇲🇹

No matter where we live and how good it is, we’ll always find something to complain about where we live 🤣

EXCELLENT VIDEO 🎤 🎥. DITTO FOLKS - BEEN THERE, DONE THAT ✈️ 🌍 😊. Amazing how these experiences could be so similar. Better still, moving to the UK as a young man was an amazing unforgettable experience 🇬🇧 😍. Sorry I can't say the same about Australia 😱 What a relaxed & interesting two way conversation Alex 🏆. Moving back to my Malta like Janice one day would complete my full circle ⭕ 🙏😊 . THANK YOU ALEX & LOVELY JANICE 👏👏 Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺™️

Great interview and nice lady , big love from Tunisia

What a nice young lady, it’s a big decision moving from your ‘home land’, The heat in Malta is too much for me, nice for a holiday but too hot to live there when you have housework, cooking etc. Have a nice weekend 😎☕️

Great interview with such a sweet guest. I definitely agree that grey skies are very depressing 🌫😶‍🌫️

Really useful information. Smart and charming guest too. Thank you.

Great interview! She is spectacular!

I truly enjoyed hearing about what she was saying my granddaughter teaching in Berlin she did go through a big change from here in Australia

Super video, as a German living in Medjugorje I understand everything you talk about, no chance to live in Germany. it is too grey.

That was great guys , have a good day 😊 ❤

Alex, we love you brother ❤

Very nice interview ✅ Reminds me of my move to England. Not easy.

I am a doctor from Poland, where the sky is gray most of the time. People always complain about hospitals in their own country. Maybe I should find a job in Malta so that I can at least have nice weather?

Very nice video. I enjoyed it especially since i know of someone who was just telling me that when they retire it would be in Germany. Im going to firward this to her now. Ty

Really interesting video, Alex! I did not expect that she'd say that she moved away because of the extremely hot summers (I'm going in July and August to see if I can handle them, myself). I went to Berlin on vacation but could not see myself moving there, tbh. I'm from the US and lived in England for nearly 2.5 years from 2014-2016 so some of the things she mentioned about being an expat felt familiar (of course not the language barrier). I'm glad she's really considering moving back to Malta - Alex, you'll definitely need to do another interview with her down the road.

What a video and very good interview Alex. 😉 I know exactly what she means about grey skies and how big impact you can have when 9 months in a year you don’t see a sun…

It is also grey in Poland (where I live) most of the year, so I spent one week in Malta in January enjoying blue sky and sunshine:) I also agree that we tend to think that 'the grass is always greener on the other side', and the truth is that each country struggles with similar problems (especially regarding health care), there are no perfect places to live. They key is to find a place that works for you.

I think learning the language of the country you decide to live in , it is a question of respect to the country and the people of that country to at least learn the language. I lived in Germany as well. In Stuttgart and it was really sad to see people from other countries not making friends with the people due to lack of interest of learning the language. I learned German really fast due to making a the effort for the country that gave me so much. It is a respect thing in my opinion. To expect for them to speak another language in their own country is for me utterly rude. 😊

She seems like an absolute fun to be around. 🙏

Good morning it 430 in morning in Canada ❤in canda u have ti pay two months and it can be as high as 3500 a month for a house room down town Toronto 1500

What a sweet lady

Iam also from Germany, shes totally right with insurance and the grey weather. I only miss the great food in Germany, at least in my area and the fast food but it was a great decision to go to Malta for me

Exactly the same as in Denmark, a very high tax, health insurance, we pay exorbitant amounts, waiting on the waiting list for years, and people die and their turn for treatment does not come. Dental treatment We pay everything we have for dental treatment to travel outside Denmark and go to 🇵🇱 Poland or Türkiye to any other country because it is much cheaper than Denmark. The weather is also gloomy, it is always dark, and the Danes are abnormally moody, and cases of mental illness among the Danes have not been seen by eyes nor heard by ears. Unfortunately, many Europeans from Italy, Brazil, and even England suffer from the coldness of the Danes My relatives from America came on a visit to Denmark, which they called the Cemetery of the Living Unfortunately, not everything one wishes for one gets. Life is difficult and requires many sacrifices. This is how life forces us to do something. I personally have friends from Brazil, Philippines, and Sri Lanka, and they also have friends of different nationalities, except for Danes in particular. I don't think it's just the weather that affects it, but genetics has an impact on mental illness, quality of life, lack of faith, drugs, and, and they're all influences Russia's weather is very cold, and Canada's weather is too cold, but people are courteous and lovable. Unfortunately, they are not like the Danes, who are rough in their style and behavior. I remember when I was learning the Danish language. The school principal told us, and we were students from different countries: Japanese, Arab, Indian, Australian, etc. He drew a ship on the canvas and drew snow. He said to us, “You foreigners are the ship, and we the Danes are this snow. You have to break this ice.” He means that the Danes are difficult and isolated, so We have to make an effort, but it is useless as we have been here for more than 29 years and the situation is as it is, It is very nice that the Danes admit this and know that they are not social with non-nationals I hope to have many videos with your guest, she is very nice ❤🤗

Alex this is one of the best of the BEST and it's an awesome video especially the interview of this Maltese German loving lady is an amazing and being a School teacher and Pastor who deals more public Knows well so I love the way she did all the conversation with you Alex and it's like Parents meeting in School regarding her kids, So any way in both of you who will invite us to celebrate wedding anniversary in Malta on 6th JUNE 2024, waiting for reply?

Alex make a video on Malta’s Professional footballer no one has ever made it you give it a shot it’ll be worth it

Wow...great discussion... learnt alot.

I’d love to be friends with this last she seems so fun and nice.

I love her❤

In Lithuania we have same weather like in Germany - 300 days no sunshine. for this reason we now are leaving in Malta 😅

Watching strait away this time

Nice lady🎉

love the maltese accent :)

Good luck bro

I left Malta 10 years ago and can't imagine myself returning back. I can now compare so many things that staying more than 2 weeks in Malta I start feeling suffocated. The opened minded people, parks/forests, fast mail, easy travelling options, endless options I have abroad are something that make me feel so lucky. I only miss my friends and family and sometimes the weather but Summers are definitely better and milder abroad, I don't visit Malta during the Summer. I learnt another language which is a plus to my resume. Also working conditions and medical insurance are so much better than what I had in Malta. Maltese who have the opportunity to live abroad should definitely try it out.

Lovely lady

I’ve heard all from my granddaughter what she’s saying about the hospital

☺️😄👏🏼👏🏼

She Loves our LORD and savior's Jesus Christ Alex give her my (Pastor Samuel) blessed regards at the moment I am in the UAE with the family by till next video.

She is very wrong about a few things, it might be true that Berlin is considered a multicultural city nowadays but this is mostly due to 2nd generation immigrants like Turks and Arabs who grew up learning and speaking German and not English and trust me if you move to a country like Germany and make excuses not just to learn the language but actually enjoy the language and the culture that comes with it you will inevitably fail to feel like you're part of its society, not understanding the local humor, the music, domestic affairs, politics, etc. and you will forever miss out on EVERYTHING that's actually going on in the country so if you move to Germany and insist on getting by with that b2 level of English, like some foreigners unfortunately think they can do, it's like being from Latin America and moving to the US. without ever making an attempt to learn any English, you will forever stay in that sureal bubble

Vist Santa Lucija in Malta you may see my house lol❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sound similar to Gibraltarians when they speak English. Anyways, cool video enjoyed the content.

🤣 Imagine leaving Malta for a dump like Germany

And then theres me who cant wait to leave grey, depressing Germany and move to Malta haha

Malta is africa. Not Europe. This is a terrible place.

What I like about Malta is that you have all your family, and new and old friends close. If one wants to organise a party everyone is a few minutes away. No need for sleepovers.
