| Dear Mr. Bernd Beckschwarte, I think there is no law in Maldives saying that a non muslim can not drink. The fact is that the Muslims do not drink but the visitors coming for holiday is accomodated in a different island where they have BAR, Restaurant, Room and all other fecilities a Hotel/Resort should have and infact it gives more privacy to the guest in Maldives than any where else in the world. THE QUESTION OF PAYMENT this will not be a problem as I do not have the intension of bringing goods from you and hide. as I am also a muslim, i respect to anyone who works so I think every one should be paid for the work they do. And if you are so much worried about this I think you should personaly come to Maldives and have a look from your own eyes and then decide if you will do business with me or not. I invite you to come to maldives on any vacation you prefer. I will be arranging you a resort and also will guide you to have a look in to the capital city.
