There was this offer about 'catching your own lobster' at Kandooma, Maldives where I spent honeymoon with my beautiful wife. At first, I thought catching a lobster wasn't a big deal. I thought the pool would be much smaller and shallower than the one in the photo. So, I went ahead and register myself to catch my own lobster. My wife, already scared about catching things she isn't familiar with didn't join me. The lobster that I catch would then be cooked for our dinner that night.

When I saw the pool the first time. I said to myself, "oh crap, this is wrong, I shouldn't have joined." The pool isn't huge, it's not that deep, but it's full of 1-2 Kgs lobsters. I was hesistant enough that I looked like someone who can't dive down. I spent 2-4 minutes swimming around trying to figure out when to dive down. Then I said, "screw it!" I dived down and catch one naughty lobster. Finally... It was an interesting experience.

This Bangkanese traditional house has no electricity during the day. Every a few houses have a diesel generator to generate electricity during the evening. They don't have tab water as well. I am truly amazed how people can live this way. I can't imagine myself living without an electricity for a day! Oh if you see a fridge in the picture, they don't actually use it as a fridge, they store their personal items in it...

These are the famous Bangkanese pork. Are they any different than any other pork? Yes! Definately.

Maldives' water. This was taken right at the International Airport water dock. Imagine how clean and fresh the water is at the resort. :)
