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]

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]

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

[@armikamunna8795]

@@daphbobo Hi Nasheed thank you for your reply. I do know the schedule but heard that Dhonis are closed due to Covid. Now have they resumed public ferry service? It would be of great help to know it from a local about the status.

I’ve never really contemplated going to the Maldives… Your are showing us a very different side to what we usually know… It’s tickling my interest now 🤔😜 Thank you William it’s fascinating Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

You should visit the maldives :)

[@jessehorner4972]

@@williamtaudien I've thought about it since the early 90's when a friend of mine went there to scuba dive. That's beautiful clear water. I live in San Diego and love to scuba dive.

You're truly livin the dream William! The Jet Ski segment is the best! Don't change a thing and enjoy yourself.

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks I appreciate that you said don't change a thing. Thank you. We should be who we are!

[@saif6155]

Check out 'Rasdhoo' island in the adjacent atoll. There is an extraordinary lagoon called 'Madivaru Finolhu' there which is great for snorkeling/turtule, Manta ray spotting. I recommend 'Holiday Garden Rasdhoo' hotel in that island. Enjoy! 🫡

[@nausheenmukhthaar2399]

Been there. Best lagoon so far

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks yes it is next to the one I went to Thoddoo! posting that video today!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great video work. William, you make me so jealous I wish I was back there again, I loved the white sands, turquoise waters, & the beautiful weather. However, I put on lots of water-proof sunscreen & I never got burn, my skin turned sexy brown. Enjoy yourself, stay safe & healthy... Abrazos

[@r.j.bigbrain3370]

Hey William, I am from San Diego CAlifornia. I love your vids. There are a lot of traveling vlogs out there. But none have you very quirky vib. Love your personality and your humble attitude. You really are a down to earth person. I like to watch your vids at night before i go to sleep. Cause they make me smile and laugh and just feel good before i sleep. If your ever in san diego you have a nice place to stay. Your welcome at our casa anytime. :)

[@r.j.bigbrain3370]

I know your story about US immigration. And I am very sorry, but I think I could help you out with that if you wish to return.

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks for this comment it makes me happy to read it. I'm glad you like the videos. San Diego is an awesome place. I'd love to go back some time. and thanks for your offer to host my stay. I might do a bed test lol... just kidding

You can get Maldivian food from local family. Most of the restaurant will not have typical Maldivian food.

Thanks for watching :)

[@asaamv]

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

[@TheYoungAviator3019]

i love it when you adore my country

[@williamtaudien]

thanks!

[@GabyPelayo]

I love shots like the one at 6:44. I imagine you setting down the camera, walking past it, then rushing back to pick it up. I enjoyed your video tremendously. So informative , and well edited. I applaud you, William!

at 13:00 you landed on Kandooma, a private and expensive resort island, I'm surprised nobody kicked you out! I tried to swim there years ago and I wasn't allowed by their workers to get 5 meters near the beach, lucky you!

[@MrSupernova111]

I've never seen beaches that beautiful! Stunning! Also, I had no idea how cheap it was to visit the Maldives (other than the flight). Maybe I can visit someday. I hope you're having a great time there! Cheers!
