First Impressions of Male

The two best words that can be used to be describe the capital of Maldives are "sensory overload." Male is the fifth densest city in the world consisting of 130,000 people packed into a one square mile airea. While being shuttled to my hotel, located along the Mageedi Magu, the main street of the city, I was amazed at the teeming life that is Male. We passed through typical streets no wider than the average sidewalk. Even at eleven o'clock at night the city was absolutly full of people. Despite the many things going on in the city I was glad to get a good night's sleep.
