Went out for a night in Champs Bar - located in the Airport Hotel. It is 10 mins. boat ride from the Capital (Male). Maldives is 100% Muslim country and alcohol is not available in the capital, for this reason Champs bar becomes a favourite to most expatriate residing in the Maldives, I guess there is just no where else to go. The prices are cheap compared to most private resorts and the service is not bad. Check it out when youre in the Maldives!

sunflower is a disco bar and live music. It is located in lahug, Cebu City, easy to find as it is just behind the Cebu City Waterfront hotel (huge palace like building from a distance) in fact it is realy huge even when near. Anyway, sunflower can be accessible by public transport (jeepney or by taxi) but I would advise to go on a taxi as the jeepneys route is quite a challenge to make it right the first time. although its the cheapest way (6php per jeepney ride), but on the downside, its not airconditioned and if your hair is a bit damp then, you will have an instant blow dry with dust cligning on it. Taxi is always a safe choice specially if you dont know the jeepney stops around the area. Just insist on the meter as sometimes you pay more with an agreed rates (drivers sometimes takes advantage of you specially if they think you dont know where youre going). If you are taking your own transport, there are lots of parking space, however, there will be people who will volunteer to look after your car while your away, I dont know for what but I guess its better, you can just give them whatever coins you have or around 10php, they will be happy with this. also, its an advantage to bring your own car as it is difficult to get a transport after 1 or 2 am. There is an entrance fee of about 300php (6-7 USD), and you get 2 drinks with that! so, its not bad. There is a huge stage extreme left from the entrance with live band and a dance floor just below the stage. There are a lot of setting area should you wish to have dinner and lot cocktail chairs and tables just next to the bar on the left side of the stage. The ambiance is great, this is also a travellers point where most tourist comes by so its a place to meet and greet. Just be on guard for gays as this place has many and you cant figure out a gay from a woman. But this place is really cool I recommend this place to anyone visiting Cebu...
