Hi,
Kakarating ko Lang dun dito sa Maldives last Wednesday. So far so good. Ok nmn accomodation... I'm particularly in male.
Sobrang haba ng pila sa immigration para sa mga working visa. Kung tourist ka, priority ka at bilis lng. Takes me 2.5 hours bago nakalusot. Thanks God nakarating din sa hotel ng around 11:30 pm. Landed at the airport by 8:10 pm.
Very narrow mga streets dito at ang dami ng motorsiklo. People are nice.
Mostly ng mga foods are Indian & Chinese.
This is just my 3rd day so marami pa akong aalamin. Fortunately, pinay ang isa sa mga hotel staff.
So God bless sa pagpunta mo dito.
Regards
Eugene

@ Eugene : Thank you for your contribution, however it would be best if you can communicate in english only on this english speaking forum, it will help everyone to understand.
