Taxicab confession

With our crazy individual coaching sessions spread out over radio, TV, news and programming, we make it a point to have a "team meeting" over dinner once a week and we like the restaurant across the harbor at the airport hotel with a nice buffet on Thursday nights. Because it's a resort you can also get wine or a cocktail there if you pay in foreign currency with a credit card. Alcohol is strictly forbidden in the capital and only served to non-Maldivians in resorts.
Returning to our hotel in Male, the taxi cab driver asked us if we were working here and we said we worked at TVM. He exclaimed, "Oh, you must be Terry and the team!" He had heard our interview on D-FM radio and was excited about the changes on the TVM news. It's a small country (population about 300,000 not counting tourists and foreign workers) and everybody seems to know us now.
