#dharavandhoo

[anumberofhobbies]

As the fishers gut their catch and toss the remains back into the water, the rays take turns surfacing, snacking, and then circling back to the end of the line in hopes of more morsels. The stretch of water illuminated by the harbor lights turns into a synchronized swimming performance. Even when sharks show up, locals say it’s an orderly affair.

As well as they queue these rays and sharks must be British.

The last of the 3 commissioned paintings of this series. This will be printed on t.shirts by a guest house in Dharavandhoo. I'm really excited to see the final product sometime.

What do you think? Does this painting show a good representation of the Maldives?

can oishii disappoint?

the new oishii near the port in male is one of extremes. tonight, it is extremely crowded - the servers are on the verge of a major panic attack, but they somehow find us a table amid this mayhem. and when we order, we are told that the kitchen is going to be extremely slow - expect an hour for our sushi. to even ask a server for a can of coke here seems an act of torture. 'do you think it's because the queen died?' i ask aiminadhi [whom we last met in my piece about vacationing in dharavandhoo]. 'i think it's because it's a saturday,' responds aiminadhi. 'why can't they have extra help on a busy day like this? it's common sense.' 'hmm.' the decor deserves a comment. i think it achieves a kind of maximalist charm whereas aiminadhi thinks it's just overwhelming. 'they went overboard, perhaps because there was no one to say 'when,' she said earlier. anyhow, we had ordered a couple of maki - salmon and prawn tempura -, unagi nigiri, and ramen with beef in kimchi broth. our server said it wouldn't take too long to bring us the latter. so aiminadhi and i eavesdrop and make comments on the conversation at the next table, the make-up of which is like a multicultural benetton ad from the 90s - there's a reference for you 30-somethings. they seem to have just discovered sarcasm, like chandler (another reference) from friends, and it is painful. 'i found it funny that people on twitter were sad that the queen had died,' says aiminadhi, pushing a can of coke towards me. 'why?' i open it for her and she pours herself some. 'because we're brown, she's not our queen. she even stole our diamond.' it's our diamond now, as south asians, but then you gotta remember it belonged to a mughal emperor and we don't quite know how the kohi noor fell into THOSE hands. i find myself singing 'shine bright like a diamond' when the server puts our ramen in front of us. and my god! 'it's the first time i'm eating ramen, you know?' i confess to aiminadhi who is astonished.

'you gotta be kidding me. really?' 'i've had udon, but never ramen.' 'there's a first time for everything, and of all the places you could've had it, it just had to be here,' she says and we dig in with our soup spoons. 'god,' i say. it's so good, the kimchi broth is stunning - by this i mean it tastes like kimchi, and great kimchi at that. 'i love the beef, so tender,' says aiminadhi. 'you know, i like my patty medium when i have a burger cos i don't want the burger to get too soggy. and when i eat steak, i like my meat medium rare. not rare. medium rare.' she enjoys going off on meaty tangents. meanwhile, the cosmopolitan table next to us is in uproar! 'did they put something in the coke?' i ask. 'maybe.' and just as i suck on some cola and burp, drawing a look of horror from aiminadhi, our sushi comes. 'wow, how long have we been at this ramen?' i say. 'long enough.' the salmon maki, though pretty, is utterly tasteless. it's like eating plain rice. without salt. time and again, the issue plagues this self-proclaimed house of sushi. the unagi nigiri is last to arrive and by far the best of the lot with the sweet, buttery eel more than making up for deficiencies in the grain. our meal has concluded. 'time to get the bill,' i tell my friend. and dear lord. we've eaten 1021 MVR worth of japaneses. how is that even possible? aiminadhi looks terrified. is this real? yes. yes it is. 'er...let's go halves,' i say. 'next time, review big places when you've got the clout to make dinner complimentary OK?' she tells me as we exit the restaurant. 'and next time maybe YOU should eat like a woma -' i find myself thinking in response. 'you looked like you were about to say something.' says aiminadhi. 'oh. nothing. nothing at all.'

#Repost @sideytheshark with @get_repost ・・・ Manta rays are surprisingly smart. This is how the manta rays do their bottom feeding, first they stir up the sandy bottom & start feeding.

🤩🤩 Dharavandhoo 🤩🤩

📍Atollo di Baa 🛫30min. di aereo da Male 🚤5min. di motoscafo da Hanifaru Bay, area protetta UNESCO 👙Isola con una bikini beach lunghissima e stupenda!

Ci sono appena tornata per la seconda volta. Uno dei miei sogni l’ho realizzatori proprio qui! 🥰 Quello di nuotare con le MANTA RAY!!!🏊🏻‍♀️ Tanto felice di esserci ritornata, ho incontrato vecchi amici e fatto nuove conoscenze per Kihinee! Ho desiderato spesso di ritornare su quest’isola, ogni volta è un’esperienza unica. Il rumore dei coralli mossi dalle onde sul bagnasciuga (👉presto il poscast!) è stata una scoperta magnifica! Senza parlare del plancton luminescente al buio della notte e del cielo stellato, indimenticabile alle Maldive!!!!

[thathusenfulhu]

husenfulhu’s travels p1 - dharavandhoo/hibalhidhoo

we're walking on the beach in baa hibalhidhoo, which will be a resort one day. two bangladeshis are taking care of the island till then. behind me, some dhaththas who've come to collect kaashi and fan. they've taken off their burugas so we have to backtrack. i'm with saththaaru whom some of you have already met. anyway, he's a young man from an island down south, and he's explaining coastal features of hibalhidhoo to me. he's also an environmental scientist who, let it be known, has been published in some american journal for engineering. a small contribution to science from this giant of a man. 'the waves are big here, that's why the beach drops off so sharply,' he explains. 'you don't want to be building your water villas in the lagoon here, that's what it means in YOUR world.'   then he points out a kind of furry orange growth on top of the kuredhi. 'they're love vines - used as an aphrodisiac. my mother used to send us kids out to collect them,' i laugh. 'we didn't know what it was for obviously. whether my dad was a poor lay in bed. or whether my mum was a - oh, you see that?' he points at something and i zone out for a bit. when i come to he's still talking. '...geomorphology. we mention it in all our EIA reports and i bet no one at the EPA knows what the hell it is, but they're too embarrassed to ask at this point.' my stomach feels a bit funny. i think it's the curry from the night before. we were in a cafe called layers right behind our guesthouse, the violet inn, in dharavandhoo. they prepared our meal from scratch. meaning it took them hours. i had chicken curry with roshi, and it was really good but very oily. i was with some friends and my sister and we'd just learnt that the mantas weren't gonna be around and that we should've waited a week. 'why do they call mantas gentle giants? for fuck's sake they eat baby animals.' i said. 'no you dumbass,' said saththaaru's gf aminadhi, who's also some kinda scientist. 'they eat plankton.' 'and some baby animals are plankton, right?' 'no they're an entirely different kinda organism,' 'your opinions have gone unchallenged for too long in this world,' declared saththaaru. 'look it up goddammit.' 'YOU look it up.' soon it was just me and saththaaru and my sister, fathumaafulhu, the rest have left to take a walk. 'see?'  plankton includes stuff like the larvae of eel and also krill.' i said. 'and how does it feel to scream your vindication into the void? no wait, that's your whole life isn't it?' laughs saththaaru, a man constantly amused at his own wit. it doesn't help that other people find it funny either, including myself. back in hibalhidhoo, we've almost reached the place where we have set up camp. but to our dismay, it's being ravaged by a flock of crows. saththaaru makes a run towards the hut and scares off the birds. 'fuck!' he says. 'they've got my lunch.' he runs off with a bag into the bushes. i inspect the damage. they've tossed a bunch of things on the sand.   'fuck!' it's my sandals! there is crow shit on them! and one of the beach towel has a suspicious stain. 'is it shit?' i ask saththaaru when he returns. he takes a look. 'no, it doesn't look like it.' then he takes the towel into his hands, brings it right to his nose and sniffs it.   'no, it's not shit, just a stain.' you can take a man from the atolls and educate him in adelaide but... 'the fuck you grinning at?' 'nothing,' i say. 'nothing at all.' ...the man will relish any chance to plunge his nose into shit.

#Mantarays have huge brains — the biggest of any fish — with especially developed areas for learning, problem solving and communicating. The giant rays are playful, curious and might even recognize themselves in mirrors, a sign of self-awareness. .
