      In Brazil that's called barbotherapy. It's done on men a lot, and barbers usually do that for free sometimes only to practice. Usually the price is the same as an haircut, so I think it was fairly priced and well done.

    What the barber did on your face is called barbotherapy. It's usually the same price of a haircut. Sometimes more expensive depending on the establishment and the products they apply on your face. It's really good for you who travels a lot and is frequently exposed to the sun.
    You should do that from time to time to keep your facial skin healthy.

Most of the short eats are made with tuna and coconut 🥥, it's very nice. I miss the food. I am living in Malaysia. It's nice to see you are enjoying the local food.

    The traditional way of eating that round thing (mas roshi, which translates to "fish roti". It is made using wheat and has coconut, tuna and onion inside) is eating it without dipping in sauce. The sauces were brought by the later generations.
    Also about the guard thing at president's palace... The guards are in the rooms with windows. You'll also see armed MNDF soldiers patrolling the area the palace is in.

    I only remembered one name “Abdullah Mausom”.. I already forgot the other chap name…
    May be Abdullah had already became a big boss now in his country …..Maybe someone from Maldives knows him..please respond. I think his age now 54/55 or 56 years old
