However, I put on lots of water-proof sunscreen & I never got burn, my skin turned sexy brown. Enjoy yourself, stay safe & healthy... Abrazos

    Hi, William if you want to try maldivian food, try "garudhiya (tune fish soup), baiy (white rice), and fihunu mas (grilled tuna)".. the waiters you see in most cafes and restaurants are indians and bangladeshis and what they suggest is not maldivian.. fried rice is not maldivian.. typically.. you want to go to a "hotaa".. a traditional maldivian diner.. there you will find maldivian food.

    • @daphbobo
      @daphbobo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      how you eat it is, mix fish soup with rice, squeeze a bit of lemon on it, and mix it with a bif of chili.. fihunu mas (grilled fish on the side).. thats what most people eat in islands.

    • @daphbobo
      @daphbobo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      also, visit Vilimale.. its just 5 minutes ferry ride from west side of Male.. the ferry terminal is called "vilimale ferry terminal".. the fare is 3.25 MVR... there's a ferry every 10 minutes to and from villimale.. the beach is also nice.. there;s dive center there look for "moodhu bulhaa dive center" they have very good ppl there

    Seems like u are in Maldives still , you are staying in the month of Ramadan ( dry fasting for 30 days) once in a Islamic calendar , you need to get to a local house when they breakfast (which is iftar in Arabic) . 🙂 during Ramadan very few people will do day activities like sports etc..and different atolls have different cultures , tradition and food specialties are different too
