      The real kicker was they were like 30$. I was sent there to see some construction for a few days, I was barely able to afford a fridge magnet!

      Fun facts: on some islands there, there are biting caterpillars that drop down on you from the trees. Before an island is fumigated, humans are typically the only large animal for the mosquitos to target – so they are very aggressive!

          Haha I run a Vietnamese company! Warranty covers repair or replacement only!

          Although typically these warrantees are quite good and last for years here. So here are your replacement facts!

          Dhivehi, the old written language in the Maldives, looks really cool. Seriously, look ít up.

          The local food was… Mostly tuna. Since I was eating with the construction crews, that meant tuna for every meal. Fresh tuna, curry tuna, and best of all, dried tuna jerky. Never seen dried tuna jerky before or since, but I would surely buy it if I did!
