Maldivian life?

I saw an interesting video clip on YouTube today. It is a clip from a program broadcast by Television Maldives featuring the life of a chap named Hussein Moosa from Hanimaadhoo island, Haa Dhaal Atoll. The program follows around his daily schedule a bit and features interviews with him where he rambles on and on (with a cutesy "island" accent) about his childhood (his parents died), why he didn't marry (too much responsiblity?!), what he's seen through his life time (bodu thadhu, Mohd Ameen and Nasir presidency) and a myriad of other things. Quite an entertaining and amusing clip...

Check it out on YouTube:

   Jaa, words are not enough to express how much I luved that video. I bet he got loads and loads of stories to tell and I cud just sit and listen for ages..U know I'm mighty susceptible to accents and he's got one cut one..reminds me of me kurikeela granny :d
   I want to learn from him, all the skills that he's so adept at. Impressive character, and I just want to look, listen, learn..
