From long time ago when I fell in love with the TV variety show called "take me out" I got to know the place in the Indian Ocean named Maldives because it's a fantasy place for the lovers who date successfully from that reality show. Back to that time I was still a student on campus and I didn't expect that one day I could be in here in Male. So today I will share you some of my opinions towards Maldives.
1. People in Maldive
When I set my foot on this island I didnt know anyone here except my colleagues but now I'm proud to say that I know plenty of people here because day to day routine work gives opportunity to communicate with the local people who vary from engineer to the laborers at the construction site businessman to the shopkeepers.

Particularly I have to tell one thing called nuts which is consumed by the local each day after end of their meal and they eat this nuts as we drink the red wine at home which will indulges you to.
3. Its culture
This is an Islamic country where the mosques can be seen standing magnificently everywhere. People here have to pray in these mosques for fives times each day but on Friday most of people will gather in the mosque where they will listen to the sermon.
