This past weekend I went to the Maldives for four days / three nights. The Maldives are a chain of 1,000 small islands. They're so small that it's hard to find them on a map; they're southwest from India and in the Indian ocean. But they're known as having some of the best beaches in the world, and I can get to them easily from Bangalore. The water is crystal clear and the beaches are powder-white. The most amazing thing is the marine life. I took ten steps off of the beach and immediately there were fish swimming around me; blue ones, yellow ones, swimming between my legs and around me. The abundance of marine life can't be compared to anywhere I've been before. I took a day trip and snorkeled on a reef (it was about 10 - 15 feet deep), and I was in schools of hundreds of brilliant fish. What an amazing experience! I would definitely go again, maybe for a scuba trip. But on the other hand, there are so many other things in Asia that I want to see.
