Me too

I'm from hulhumale

Salam from morocco

I'm currently in Maldives in malahini Kuda bandos and this has to be the nicest place I ever visited. The people are so nice, they don't trick you into anything, what you see is what you get. unlike most other countries iv visited. They know how to make your trip special. Make sure you get an all inclusive package because it's not cheap over here

Please do not generalize the Maldives, just because of Male island. Maldives is a country with more than 1190 islands. There are also about 200 islands that are like local village islands. Most of the islands are not crowded like this. What happened to Male would have happened to any other country if it was like islands. Imagine if London was an island. As the population grew it, it expanded as there was land. In the case of Male, it is an island that was not able to expand. The island of Hulhumale is an artificial island that was reclaimed in order to lessen this pressure. Before about 15 years it was a reef with no island. If we want to compare other small island countries, usually their islands are larger than the islands in Maldives. For example Rodriguez in Mauritius. The reason why Male became crowded is due to development of tourism in the 1970s. That time there was only one international airport. So the tourism started with islands near Male. The concept in Maldives tourism ws like one island - one resort concept. But on these islands it was exclusively for tourism, and no local settlements were allowed. In fact, most of those islands were also small. During that time time transportation was not easy. So many resort workers brought their families to Male. Banking was only available in Male. As the tourism industry grew, and needed more employees, more families from rural areas migrated. The cottage industries in rural areas declined. I don't know why, but i felt quite sad by reading your comment.

Next video will be nice!

@@williamtaudien almost all tourists to Maldives do not go to Male.. Outer islands are where tourists generally visit!!

My pleasure 😊

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. Great success :D

Thanks for watching and being part of it! I appreciate it

Thanks :)

Yeah so many islands!

Further to my comment: I have been to the Maldives 2 times, many tourists like myself usually bypass Male and go straight to the resorts. Many tourists are very apprehensive about staying in Male if they have a late flight and cannot catch their seaplane transfer or catching a very early International departing flight. I think William’s video will show that it is perfectly fine to stay in Male and that locals will extend the same courtesy and respect you show them. I will be recommending this video to others who are apprehensive about staying in Male.

Thanks yes I had no idea of this either

Thanks :)

Yea very friendly

Thank you for watching another one :)

Glad you like them! thanks!

Thanks :)

Visit Lakshadweep (India) ✅✅✅ Don't go to Maldives ❌❌👎🏻

Thanks

Where is outside ? Please elaborate I will be visiting soon 😊

Thank you :) hopefully soon!

Welcome back :D

Glad to hear this thank you very much!

Well maintained? That really depends on where you go, certainly the pretty parts are well maintained

Developed yes. You'll find everything you need. Hulhumale is a pretty new island (unlike Male) and therefor still well maintained. Male is very different and very crowded and a lot of roads are in a very bad state.

Find the real maldives somewhere outside, you should see.

"developed" is a western way of saying "like us" this term is offensive to the east side (I'm from England btw not Maldives). When they aren't like us we see them as less developed. Egypt built pyramids so perfect we can't do that in our "developed" countries till this day with all these machines. I hope I don't offend you but rather educate. Have a good day & be great

@@NK-fl5lh very true. the western tend to think we live in huts or something

Thanks no I'm fine:)

Thank you

Yeah social media doesnt ahow the "bad" parts

Ya I live here it's crowded but still quite peaceful on Fridays

i live in male and yes i do think that male isnt what people will be thinking of when they think maldives. its always the islands and white sandy beaches on the internet

This is what the overcrowded capital looks like. The real Maldives is outside those cities. The small islands and the resorts are what you see on pictures.

Yes I will test many lol

Thanka for watching!

Thanks!

Who said it was the biggest? He said it’s the crowdest island in the world and it is.

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Yeah!

Thank you! Will do!

Thanks more to come!

Thanks! Enjoy the cenotes around Merida :)

@@williamtaudien absolutely brother

Masha Allah, I didn't know that Maldives would be that much beautiful. It's absolutely amazing. Would love to visit this someday. Lots of love from Pakistan.

Thanks:)

Haha yeah that bank was strange lol !

Yeah it happens to nice places and as population increases

Visit the local Islands, u can experience the Maldives at it's best.

visit islands other than Male. if you want somewhere not too rural but not overcrowded, Addu is better to visit. it's the other city we have. source: I'm a local lol.

Yeah im a maldivean and yeah male ia very crowded but the out of Maldives is the heaven!🇲🇻❤️

@@Yeng0 I notice exactly that on William’s following videos.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5pnlpSTy6evZ3k.html

Since it's extremely small, nothing special in being developed. Smaller countries are more developed

I prefer car

I’m also Maldivian btw

Haha yeah I wanted to

Thanks for watching!

Maldives is like a part of India

@@naturelover5449 Because of workers from India.

@@naturelover5449 It’s not

@@Takealookat123 no indian workers are less there. Most are bangladeshi.. Maldives culture similar to India

@@naturelover5449 dear, maldives is not a part of india. We are independent. Maldives has a different culture, ethnicity, religion and heritage to india or any other neighbouring country. The maldivian lifestyle, beliefs and values differ heavily, esecially to india. The closest cousins to the maldivian lineage in south asia is Sri Lanka. The Maldivian language 'dhivehi', was heavily influenced by Sinhala.

Yeah the island are dry nice and not crowded!

Haha yeah it is strange!

Hola. En que parte de Mexico

Good question I dont know actually!

not that much of a inflation actually.The economy is recovering from covid crisis,Food prices are only slightly high but thats because its ramadan and fuel prices only reached $0.70/liter, that was at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Its dropped again this month.

Actually we're most dependent on india for food so I'd say it's not effecting us at all

​@@shabilrl3301 India does not give us free food. Well, we import food items from India as we do from other countries.

@@Rxft319 I didn't say for free did i

I hope so. Yes Bombay!

What happens when you skip the ads? I’ve always wondered if it affects the KZfaqr that makes the videos in some way?

Good advice thanks haha

@@williamtaudien Does it affect you when we skip the ads?

Look up the definition of densely populated

​@@williamtaudien Everyone knows what "densely populated" refers to. The idea of “densely populated” deriving from theoretical density stat is NOT synonymous to “crowded”. Even if we were to take those terms as synonymous, it still is not correct that Malé “CITY” is the most crowded “CITY” in the world, based on the following reasons: As per density stat that offers an AVERAGE by dividing the total population by total area: Malé Population Density: 27,180/sqkm - vs - Dhaka Population Density: 29,373/sqkm Irrespective of certain lists that says Malé is the most densely populated, just by the above stat giving specific number, Dhaka as a whole (as opposed to Dhaka City) is more densely populated than Malé as a whole. But, even more importantly as applied to the instant case as per your video title including the phrase “Most Crowded CITY” placing into issue “CITY”, we are not talking about Malé and Dhaka as a whole but the “CITY”. The stat you are relying on, I’m sure, gives the population density based on entire Malé population divided by its entire area and the entire Dhaka population divided by entire Dhaka (as opposed to Dhaka CITY) area. Because almost the entire Malé is the city, the stat gives a fairly correct average of the population density of Malé City. But, when we are talking about CITY, the stat doesn’t give the correct picture of the population density of Dhaka City because: 1. the entire Dhaka is NOT the city while, out of the total Dhaka’s area of 1497 sqkm, only 306 sqkm is the area of Dhaka city, and 2. The vast majority of whole Dhaka’s 22,478,000 population live in Dhaka City. Accordingly, the population density AVERAGE of Dhaka as a whole does not reflect the population density in Dhaka City. Given that we are talking about City, 19.5 million people live in Dhaka “CITY” that has the area of 306.4 sqkm. - Now do your math to figure out whether Malé City or Dhaka City is more densely populated. Thanks.
