I guess most users here have never heard of the Republic of Maldives. I lived there 2 years and worked there as a young manager before I started my own companies, so for me this place was the beginning of my entrepreneurship and I always like to visit this amazing island nation in the Indian Ocean.
It lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India, about 1,000 kilometres from the Asian continent. The chain of 26 atolls stretches from Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the north 871 km down to Addu Atoll in the south to the equator and has 1192 islands.
It is a top luxury tourist destination, mainly for Europeans, especially for scuba divers and sailing enthusiasts like me and for people who want to get away for a while from all the stress in the western world.
Here is an example of how such resorts in the middle of nowhere look in Maldives, it's the new JOALI resort, which I like a lot.
There are regular flights from Europe to Maldives, also from Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India. Most people arriving from Europe or via Singapore. American tourists are VERY rare there, because most have never heard about this amazing paradise. It is also perfect for honeymoons....

The village Hallstatt is such an unbelievably spectacular place that even the Chinese have created a copy of the ancient salt mine village. But only in the original will you discover this truly unique culture with such a history all in a breath-taking mountain setting. The market municipality was already inhabited in the 1st millenium before Christ: during this period - the iron age - the civilization flourished.
