Maldivians of old build their homes with coral "blocks" -- in tune with the environment. A few such houses, such as the above, still survive in Kaashidhoo.
Almost all homes do not have perimeter walls and Kaashidhoo residents, numbering less than 3,000, still leave their doors open because it is one of the few islands where the traditional community spirit is still strong and people do not engage in anti-social activities such as theft.
