Starbucks in Maldives …!?!?

1 comments

Hello ...
Ramadan Mubaarik to all ...
Hope everyone is just doing good fasting ...
Coupla days ago ... after a hearty breakfast ...
Me and my buddies met to go for a coffee ...
We rode around Male' to find a good place ...
Most of the coffee shops were closed ...
The few which were open were packed ...
Finally we saw a good shop and settled in ...
We ordered and waited to be served ...
It was a shock when the waiter came back ...
And served my friends starbucks frappacinos ...
I was like, wow, this is as good as it gets ...
Starbucks coffee in Maldives ... yeah, bottled ofcoz ...
I immediately had to get one of those ...
I got a vanilla ... it was good not bad at all ...
I asked around a bit, and it seems that ...
This products has been available in town ...
For quite sometime now ... interesting, eh ...?
So, go out, have a coffee, a starbucks coffee, hehe ...

4 comments

Hello …
Got an AviX brand divX player for my b’day …
Thanks bros … really appreciate it …
Just unboxed it … i popped in a 100GB hard drive
Hooked it to my TV … works pretty good …
Is it me or divX movies look better on TV … ?
Guess its something to do with resolution …
The first movies watched on TV with the player …
Alien … part 1 2 3 4 … Sigourney Weaver kicks ass …
Yeah i was feeling a bit nostalgic to watch alien …
But hey, movie marathons work for me … hehe …
Every one out there who is in to movies …
Get yourself a divX player … u’ll not regret it …
Most of the movies i get r in divX or Xvid format …
And if you cant watch divX … u’ll miss out a lot …
DivX rules … hehe … so does all other formats … hehe ...
Laterx ...

A dinner Maldivian style …

0 comments
This is just of of the table ... phone pic ...
Hello ...
We have been talking about having ...
A Maldivian dinner for some time now ...
One of my buddies took lead ... and made it happen ...
He arranged everything and invited us over to his place ...
Around twelve of us ...
We were to report to his place at 8 sharp ...
I was there 5 mins past 8 o'clock ... i was not the first ... hehe ...
Friends began arriving in groups at around 8:15 ...
One particular couple was 45 mins late ... very predictable ...
We walked in to the dining room ... and took in a shock ...
The table was filled with food ... attractively prepared ...
Rice with mixed breadfruit ... quill's egg ...
Reef fish done over coconut shell fires ...
Lonu mirus with mango ... local fruit juice ...
It was amazing ...
And to finish it off ... there was dessert ...
Addu bondi from the island of Feydhoo ...
Which the host personally brought down the previous day ...
It was an freaking A+ meal ...
Most of us ate till we were guilty ... hehe ...
And yes, then there was the dinner table conversations ...
The best piece was told by the girl who studied in Australia ...
She remembers that in the land down under ...
Toilet bowls comes with user manuals ...
When she described the pics ...
Showing how to properly use the toilet bowl ...
A cross over a picture of a guy squatting on top of it ...
A cross over a picture of a guy squatting beside it ...
A cross over a picture of a guy kneeling beside it showing respect ...
A cross over a picture of a guy rubbing the bowl at the side ...
This pic comes with a subtext ...
"Mechanized rubbing over prolonged periods of time ...
Did not produce any color of smoke or a genie
Rub at your own risk" ...
It was hilarious ... everyone had a good laugh ...
Thanks bro ... we had a great time ...
