The Untold Story Part 1



Maldives is the dream destination for many and this includes me! The fine sand, the clear water, the exciting underwater world... but these are not certainly my kind of budget holiday.


When Darren received news he was going to Maldives to work, we were both excited at the prospect of having a short getaway at Maldives. But he was given only a week's notice and it was quite hard for me to make arrangement in such short time frame. Plus, the rate of a water bungalow per night was too much on our pocket. Estimated to be at least SGD 1k per night.


I reckoned it might be cheaper if we were to buy a Maldives package from our local agent and enjoyed a 3 night stay instead of a short 2 night stay at the same price.


So I stayed put and off he went and a week passed, he's back with the untold side of Maldives. Since he went there to work, he practically eat, live and sleep like the local Maldivian.


So here am I... relating the untold side of Maldives.
