The lost had to fend for themselves to fill their bellies each day…

The lost travelers also had to forge through many a dangerous terrain…

Through mosquito infested vegetation

Through swamp home to stonefish, shark and stingray

Through beaches teeming with hermit crabs of all sizes

Even through the streets of Male (pronounced mah-leh) where highway code does not exist, only plenty of motorcycles…

When distances got too great, they took to other means of transport…

Such as lorry (the Maldivian idea of a taxi)

or boat

The lost soon made friends with the ‘others’ on the island

After many hard days of work, the 6 lost students contented themselves with slacking on the beach...

dude, u r blog is awesome with the UK pics all over....haha..previously on lost....this is really fantastic...I am glad that u sensed the real Maldivian culture...this could be the season four of lost

this blog is prety kwl,i agree but just for da record:

its says in one caption that.

"Such as lorry (the Maldivian idea of a taxi)"

acutaly the lorry isnt THE maldivian idea of a taxi,its only just for carrying load.

v, like others, use cars for taxi-ing.
