Fling the Fish!
On the way to the resort we saw Maldivian fishermen offloading their fish in what is apparently considered a normal manner... throwing the tuna on the filthy street. The apparent lack of refrigeration in the 100 degree steamy weather can't be good either. If you ask for fish in the Maldives, make sure it's cooked!
I am an American high school student doing a summer internship in the newsroom of TV Maldives. It's an away-mission to a 100% Muslim country that is having its first democratic election. I'll be working on the business desk. My adventures and observations will be on this blog.
