The Maldives

Maldives, officially the Republic of Maldives, is an island nation consisting of a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives are located south of India's Lakshadweep islands, and about seven hundred kilometers (435 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka. The twenty-six atolls encompass a territory featuring 1,192 islets, roughly two hundred of which are inhabited by people. Maldives is the smallest Asian country in terms of population. It is also the smallest predominantly Muslim nation in the world.



i know i will get a lot of hate mails after i post this blog! yes... i went to the maldives. and yes.... it is BEAUTIFUL! too bad i only got 1 clear day there bcoz this flight is a 3days pattern instead of the other 5days one. but nonetheless i enjoyed myself tremendously. We stayed at Bandos Isalnd Resort, woke up early, ate breakfast by the beach then went snorkelling... my virgin trip... n i drank a lot of bloody giam seawater bcoz the sea was quite choppy bcoz of the monsoon season. so we juz snorkel for a while b4 breaking for lunch. but the trip after lunch was amazing! simply BREATHTAKING! the water was really shallow and then comes the DROP! the whole shoreline juz dipped into the ocean & oh my god!!! i saw schools n schools of fishes... fishes of all shapes n sizes, nemos (so colourful!), big black fat sea cucumbers, jelly fishes and ONE baby shark (basically all the fish we saw in the movie 'a shark's tale')... i tell you... no words can xpress my feelings man. but apparently the water is not tat clear bcoz of monsoon. so i cant imagine how is it like when the water is at her best!
