Dream Destination
What would be your dream destination if you do not need to worry about the budget and time?

Sun, sand and sea, a thousand ‘Robinson Crusoe’ islands, massive lagoons with different depths and infinite shades of blue and turquoise, dazzling underwater coral gardens; a perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical holiday destination. However there is more to the Maldives than just that.

Mal Dives comprises 1,190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls on Southwest of Sri Lanka, on the equator. It stretches 820 kilometres north to south and 120 kilometres east to west. 202 are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands. The weather there is generally warm and humid. There are sun shines all year through, and the average temperature is around 29 - 32 degrees Celsius.

The origins of the Maldivians are lost in antiquity, but history reveals that the islands have been populated for over 3,000 years ago. Early settlers were travelers on the Silk Route and from the Indus Valley Civilization. Inherently warm, friendly and hospitable by nature, it is easy to feel comfortable and relaxed with a Maldivian.

A proud history and rich culture evolved from the first settlers who were from various parts of the world travelling the seas in ancient times. The Maldives has been a melting pot of different cultures as people from different parts of the world came here and settled down. Some of the local music and dance for instance resemble African influences, with handbeating of drums and songs in a language that is not known to any but certainly represents that of East African countries. As one would expect there is a great South Asian influence in some of the music and dancing and especially in the traditional food of the Maldivians. However many of the South Asian customs especially with regard to women are not tenets of life here - for instance, the Sub Continent’s tradition of secluding women from public view. In fact women play a

    To Norwegians, Canada represented everything their own country couldn’t provide. With acres upon acres of cheap, un-used land, an overwhelming abundance of forestry and good soils, well established fisheries along the coastline, and a freedom that just couldn’t be found anywhere else, Canada was indeed a dream destination.To common Norwegians undergoing the everyday struggle, Canada was like a shining beacon of hope among the darkness of their lives, and all they had to do to be a part of this little patch of heaven was abandon their hardships and days of poverty, buy a ticket, and sail across the Atlantic. It seemed so easy, and for people desperate to escape starvation and homelessness, the fact that they wouldn’t be able to turn back once…

    Maldives posses a unique model of the island development, which in terms is explained by the nature, bases tropical atolls and islands, which make up the whole Maldives.

    "God first made Mauritius and from it, he created Paradise." This saying from Mark Twain praises the natural beauty of Mauritius. The island’s landscapes can be mesmerizing to the eyes of everyone, but Mauritius’ culture is not any less. However, it would be too simple to classify Mauritius as having one culture as so many unique and distinctive parts forms this whole. Going to its discovery can be a journey into some of the most fascinating and refined thousands year old ancestral traditions. It is made up of the different customs and traditions of those who, during the last 400 years, have settled on these shores. They all have been brought and planted on the fertile Mauritian soils by colonists from Europe, slaves from Africa, indentured laborers from India and Pakistan (before partition) and migrants from China. These people brought with them what they have been venerating in their country of origin; their tradition and cultures. This essay will take a look at how the migrants helped shaping the language, the food culture and the folklore culture in Mauritius.…
