Today is the last day in the paradise and the sun finally came back out. As usual, after the nice breakfast, we snorkelled a bit just underneath the water villa. It has been raining for the last few days but the water here is still so clear. I stole some bread from the breakfast table to feel the fish....check out what i saw under the water...
We finally took the scenic waterjet back to Male. The hotel arranged us to leave our luggage and a tour guide was waiting for us to go to the downtown area. I heard many people saying that if you go to Maldives, leave MALE asap as it is not as amazing as the resort island. I tend to agree and disagree. Of course the resort islands are all amazing and picture perfect, however, this is not the life the locals live everyday. As i said in my previous blog before, when i saw the MALE (downtown) island from the waterjet to the resort, i love it. It looks like an island full of colourful miniature lego buildings. Check it out yourself:
We visited the presidential palace and the mosque (Yes, Maldives is a Muslim country.) and of course the market and the fish market. Very interesting. Very different from the largest fish market i witness in Tokyo [LINK]. Seems like the Tokyo one deals with the big fish and the MALE one deals with the much smaller ones...
We went to a garden and saw lots of primary school girls in school uniform. Seems like it is a school outing. See what they put at the back of the uniform...awwww...so innocent and nice!!!!

Everyone knows Maldives is at risk of going down below sea level due to global warming. You will see why when you see the highest mountain in Maldives below...no kidding...it is the highest point above the sea level in Maldives....
