So hi everyone. This is a walking lady in Amadon and today is our first day in Ukas and this is our hotel the Kala beach hotel and uh we are going for lunch. So we are not familiar yet from the place. So we are just going to explore and find some restaurants here and there and we will see >> where you want this way or the other way. Uh I think he said this is the main street. >> Yes. Okay, let's go. >> So he said you cannot get lost here. It's a very small island and it looks like this. >> So this is another hotel. >> Another hotel. Yeah. >> And most of these hotels they have their own restaurant. We do have our own restaurant as well. But we just want to try something outside because we already have a dinner included. So I see here is kind of looks like happy taste. What is this happy taste? Happy taste. That sounds like local. No, it says arrow there. >> Arrow there. Okay. >> Yeah, see there's arrow. So, >> and this is their traditional chain. >> Okay. Maybe we can go there a little bit and see what's in what's in there. >> And then >> you can take picture here. >> Picture. Yeah. Yeah. That's butterfly. >> Like I see like angel wings. And then you can stay in the middle. >> Yeah. >> And take a you know a picture of >> Oh, I see I see restaurant here too. >> I see restaurant here. So >> this will be another hotel. >> Yep. And there's a nice small uh gift shop >> and you want to go inside now. >> Yeah. >> Let's just check without >> I think you have to take out of our >> You have to remove your slippers. >> Slippers. >> Yeah, you can go. I don't know. >> That's how they do it here. >> But there's like a small gift shop here. >> And >> so just a little bit here. >> Oh, I think this is it, you know. >> That's it. >> Yeah, I think. >> Oh, okay. Thank you. >> That That's it. This is the shop, right? >> Oh, yeah. Like souvenirs. >> All right. All right. >> Have to find like some clothes. >> Some clothes. Yeah. They have >> I thought there's more. >> Yeah, it's a small gift shop. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Oh, then this is the restaurant here. >> Is this your restaurant? >> Yeah. >> Oh, so you have the restaurant and the shop? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, >> where's the restaurant? >> I think. >> Oh, so you go upstairs? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Let's look at the menu first. Uh the menu. >> Yep. So you see like you know noodles 600 burger mushroom. So they have prices in both fried fresh finger. >> Their price is uh US. Uh >> yes. But look at the local prices. See? >> Oh these are not prices. >> This is the price. >> Oh you know I was thinking this is the price. Santa. How come it's so expensive? >> That is the like item number. >> Oh, okay. You can uh just go a little bit or you can eat here. What do you want? >> It's up to you. What do you want? >> Let's eat now. Maybe >> you want to just eat now here. >> Yes. Maybe let's eat now. >> You have mango juice, right? >> Mango. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, let's go inside. >> Okay. So, we're just going to eat here for now. And what is the name of the restaurant? Olu Oli. >> Olathi. >> Olathi. Okay. >> Restaurant. >> We can take sandal. >> You can put it >> here. Where? Where? >> Where? No. No. Where's handle? >> Oh, you wear? >> Yeah, because see it's not that. >> Okay, that's >> And uh you take a credit card, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. So, guys, okay, so we're going to go upstairs to the Olumati uh restaurant. And you can see some fish here. And um let's see what do we have here. There's like a lot of kind of Oh, all right. So hand wash. I see nice nice turtles. Hello. >> Oh yeah, you can see. And you have a nice view. So this is the street we are walking. And that's where actually you're living. So it's like, you know, very convenient. If you want to just eat here, you can just come and eat. And we're going to sit here and someone is going to bring us food shortly. Hey guys. So I'm going to show you some prices here. So this is the first restaurant we're eating at Ukulas Olmati restaurant. Now the shocking thing is uh the prices are extremely cheaper comparing Digura. But you know Digura is got famous because of Instagram and Tik Tok and a lot of people are going there for whale shark and the sandbank. So I think that bump up the prices. Uh distance wise they're both very similar distance. uh from uh the capital. So I don't think transportation cost is a big big factor. So take a look at here the coffee or tea is like you know $3 $2 and dessert here you're looking at like $2 $3 which is 50% higher uh in Dura and then here we have some like you know soup and salad and light meal and burger and I'm going to show you these like you know chicken fried rice or other where you can see that like $4 to $67 but it 50% more in uh Digura and we are taking beef noodles for now. Look at the price. Only $4. It was like I think at least has to be >> when I ordered there I remember $11. But it's pai, you know, pai that's kind of the same, right? >> But still I think it's going to be like you know probably double and I'm taking also uh beef no chicken curry rice right we got chicken curry rice and you can see it's only $5. So still this is a lot more diga. So for sure food prices are a lot cheaper in Okulas and this is going to be our first meal and so far we are liking it. >> Mhm. >> And we just ate here at this restaurant Olu Oluati >> Olu Mathi. And we had a very good experience eating here. And what we noticed that you know food prices are very cheap here comparing Bura because we are covering uh not one two or many islands in the Maldives to bring you great content. So right now we're going to just like you know have a quick tour or walk on this island and we have no idea where's the end or where's the beginning but you know the our hotel employee told us that there's no way we can get lost on this island because this is a small uh place and you can see the ocean right there. So if you just you know go that way you're going to go into the ocean and also if you go this way you're going to hit the ocean as well. So, for now, we're just heading this way and show you around a little bit. Now, is this guy, you know, the guy told us this is the main street or this another street? I I don't >> I think this is the one. >> This is the main street. Okay. >> So, it's possible >> the we saw the bank of Maldivs at the dock close. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> And I think that is a good um uh video to show y them that you know there is a if they are coming here in Okulus there is a >> there's a machine. Yeah. Yeah, [snorts] a small bank. >> Yep. >> I think the big bank is in Malay. >> Malay. Yeah, if you're looking for big bank, that's in Mallay. And I see there's something here. Ukulus. Uh, >> they have hospital. >> Yeah, but this one, >> we have to see the hospital here. >> I don't know what is this. Let me check what it shows there. Ukulus. >> Convention center. >> Oh, so this is like a convention center. Okay, this looks like nice. But can you imagine how quiet it is here? >> Yes. Really? >> I feel like if I if I talk I I'm so loud. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really really quiet. >> Mhm. >> Very peaceful like Vigora. It's very quiet there. But you know the uh in Hulu Humallay is kind of >> uh not loud there. >> Loud. Yeah. >> So many things going on. Yeah. Right. >> But here is so quiet also. >> Wait. I think this is the street going in the middle of the island. Mhm. >> So on the left, right, like you know. >> Oh, I see this. I saw this one. You know, we went we went that way. >> We went this way. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So that kind of makes sense. So we better take this street for now. >> So if you go left or right, I think you're going to hit the beach. If you go north south, you're going to hit the beach. >> That's the one I told you that if you that angel wings Yeah. >> If you go to the center, you can have a picture on for Instagram, whatever. >> Okay. >> And this is Oro Palm. >> This is another hotel. hotel. >> Yeah, it's kind of similar like ours. >> Ours is only on one floor. >> Oh, okay. This one is different. >> Only floor. >> So, another one. The sunshine. So, this looks like another >> This one looks like ours, right? >> This one kind of looks like Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, every it look like everything here is hotel and the >> Yeah, that's true.

We can come and just eat the sticky mango rice. >> But uh they didn't put any menu outside. >> Otherwise, you could have shown the prices. >> Yeah. But what can we tell you guys is that here in Opulas, the prices are very cheap. >> Yep. >> Uh cheaper than in Digora. >> Digora. Yeah. >> I think it's good to show that, you know, we go to the Mald. Uh Bank of Mes. Do you want that? >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Okay. >> I think that's behind us. No, >> it's it's like over there. you know, but we just wherever we go, we will see it, you know. >> Yeah. So, we just like, you know, keep walking and >> if we come back, then we can show. >> So, the guy said our uh hotel a guy he said that this is uh much smaller than the vigora. >> Yeah, >> I think theora is uh bigger because of the sandbank >> because it's like you know long strip. Yeah. Long because of the sandbag is additional, right? >> Yeah. But Dora has lesser people than here. >> Population is higher here than Dura. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. Okay.
