19 Jan - A trip to Maldives has been a dream trip which I owed to *mds* for a long time and finally, He has made it happened. I managed to secure my leave dates, book a flight at promotional rate and obtained a resort package that is within my budget. Best of all, the operator of the resort is one of the hotel brand that is used by my current company, so I will be getting their member points to redeem for discounts later on. =) From the numerous reviews I have read, Maldives is known for their crystal clear waters and relaxing environment, so I will be going there for our belated Honeymoon, chill, relax and have fun snorkeling in their waters!
I have read that there will be a new Japan Gourmet Hall opening in Terminal 2 about 5 months ago and that is where we will be heading for our dinner before boarding our flight.

Actual dining hall
There are not many stalls in the hall, just about 5 stalls which does not serve any appetizing food in my opinion. The concept is like Ramen Champion style, where diners will be issued a token at the entrance to order their food at the stalls, and pay for their meal at the cashier before they exit the area. I tried their ramen and it taste weird. Definitely will not be going back here again.
Safely arrived in Male at around 10pm local time and we went straight to the hotel counter (Counter 43) at the arrival area for our complimentary transport to Male main island.
Before exiting the airport, we make sure to visit the local telcom (Dhiraagu) outside the arrival area to buy our data card for Internet roaming and Google Map navigation, in case we get lost tomorrow. Haha. The price is not expensive (I will share in the next post), so visitors from Singapore do not need to whack their brain in getting a wifi egg since there are not a lot of operators providing Maldives coverage back home and even if they do, the price plan is way too expensive. The staff at the counter will help you to setup your phone.
The hotel room where we will be staying for 2 nights. It is large with a living room area and they secured our ferry ride from the airport to the main island and got us a taxi to bring us straight to the hotel! Actually, if you walk... its about 5 mins, but the taxi ride took about 10 mins as it drove one big round the island. LOL.
