Last Day

Today is our last day in Maldives. We came into the station to say good bye to everyone. At first it seemed like business as usuial, but as the time for us to leave drew near it became more and more apparent that it was not. The news staff invited us to a traditional Maldivian meal of masuni (a tuna, chili and coconut mixture) and roshi, which are similar to tortillas. Afterwards I was presented with a DVD of all the reports I had done and a letter of recommendation from the news director. Shortly thereafter it was time to leave. We said our good byes.Close friends hugged the breath out of me! Then we had to go to our hotel room to pack. It was sort of sad. I really don’t want to leave Maldives. But if my life must move on, this was a good way to end my time in the news room. Thanks to all helped me on the job, and gave me this send off. I shall return!
