I walked to the news room about an hour later than I usually do today. I took my normal route along the main street of male, and then turned right by the National Library onto the road where the TV station is. Normally it is interesting to just see the teeming life of Male. Today, however, just after I started walking the call to prayer sounded. It was a surreal experience. Because there are so many mosques on the island the call seems to emanate from all around you wherever you are. There were fewer people on the streets, but many just continued going about their business.
