RE: Miss. Delicious #93 : The private dinner dream in Ayada, Maldives!
hi angelacs, wow what a very detailed comment, thank you for that! And congrats on almost hitting that 100 day milestone my dear, it's only good times to come!
As for the dark shapes, they actually were rocks. There was a lot of fish swimming around below, mostly tiny minnows but a lot of crabs sitting on the rocks.
You also bring up a really interesting point about what happens to the people on these islands when they eventually get submerged. I think for the most part, the people who live there are the employees and I would imagine they would take their excellent service to other resorts. I actually met quite a few Chinese people who live and work at Maldives because of how many Chinese visitors there are. A lot of them are highly skilled in customer service, speaking three or four languages and I imagine would do really well if they applied to work elsewhere. Certainly they have a strong CV behind them!
As for the more developed regions of Maldives, I think they do have some plans to "rise" with the tide as it were, and a lot of land reclamation projects are taking place, albeit at the contest of environmental protectionists. It's a hard line to battle over because on the one hand, some people are literally losing their homes, and on the other hand, a lot of wild life and nature will be destroyed to save these people's homes.
Thanks also for supporting my friend honeybee, he's got a lot to say about a lot of things and I think he deserves that audience!
Once again, thank you so much for the detailed comment and as always it's lovely to converse with you angelacs!
Thank you so much, @sweetsssj. You are very kind. And you are Welcome.
I look forward to learning and growing here on Steemit. There is sooo much to learn.
Migration due to sea level rising is set to increase in the near future, as is migration due to even more massive water shortages, famine and war. Water is already frighteningly scarce in so many countries. It's all appalling because no real action is being taken to deal with these real issues that will affect so many billions of human beings on Earth, while the news and leaders distract with inane matters that have no relevance to most people's every day lives.
@honeybee must appreciate your support so much because the issues he tackles are real ones, but as I said, they get swept under and out of public view by so many other distracting breaking news stories.
His blog on mental health vs weight loss was so on point. And my heart broke over yet another single African American mother being arrested and imprisoned for so long for misdemeanors. It was such a real example of what happens every day.
My hope is that more and more people will learn how to use meditation, journaling and other Soul alignment techniques to effect powerful transformation in their lives. Practical self sufficiency and multidimensional living that creates fulfillment of desires, regardless of governments and crazy societal systems. ;)
Always wonderful to talk to you too, @sweetsssj. Inspiring and uplifting.
