Blue Maroon Japan: Amusement and Holidays
http://bluemaroonjapan.blogspot.com/p/amusement-and-holidays_24.html
Getting there and Around. The most important holiday in Japan is New Year (お正月 Oshōgatsu), which pretty much shuts down the country from December 30 to January 3. Japanese head home to their families (which means massive transport congestion), eat festive foods and head out to the neighborhood temple at the stroke of midnight to wish in the New Year.

Blue Maroon Maldives: Drinking and Alcohol
http://bluemaroonmaldives.blogspot.com/p/drinking-and-alcohol.html
Drinking and Alcohol in the Maldives. As the Maldives are fairly strongly Muslim, alcohol is banned for the local population. However, nearly all resorts and liveaboard boats are licensed to serve it, usually with a steep markup. Expatriate residents have an allowance that they can buy in Male. Maldivians generally do not drink alcohol although this is less true of the younger generation. They are, however, unhappy about being filmed or photographed while drinking.
