5 things you should know about the maldives


We all love the Maldives. We claim that visitors from all over the world come to maldives after seeing the beauty of it (pun intended). I think that our beloved visitors aka piñatas filled with cash should know about our country before they set foot here. Here are five things you should know about the Maldives and to be honest, even us Maldivians need to know this as well. Let's start, shall we?

1. Your ability to yell and swear with no shame will grant you better jobs than a Doctorate in nuclear engineering.


2. Only two things can unite the Maldivian people: a tsunami and the SAFF Championship.


3. Any public display of affection is disallowed but you can grope, bump, and grind on the national television and it's perfectly legal and much encouraged.


4. Theatrical success is measured by how much the movie can make you cry


5. You are guilty unless proven innocent

i agree for the most part...but you see in maldives you are usually guilty even after proving you are innocent...

i think now its fair to say you are innocent unless proved guilty...bcoz sentences are not delivered by a phone call by head of state anymore.

But true in the minds of people, you really are guilty if u were ever tried for a crime.

Nice list btw.

and ive been using a slogan that represent the second one:

"futuboalhayaa tsunami kaarisaa - qaumee vahudhathuge vathubathaana"
