Weird and Wacky Food Joints

古怪餐廳大集合

Last on the list of strange places to eat is the world’s first underwater restaurant. Ithaa, which means mother of pearl in the local language of the Maldives, is located five meters below sea level. Its charm lies in the see-through walls that provide diners with spectacular views of marine life. The restaurant is surrounded by coral reefs, which means there is plenty to enjoy. If having dinner there is not enough, guests can even reserve the entire restaurant and sleep there for the night. It is truly the weird and wacky places on the planet that makes the world a more interesting place to live and dine.

最後一個在古怪餐廳名單上的則是世界上第一間水底餐廳。Ithaa 這間餐廳的名字在馬爾地夫當地的語言中意思是珍珠貝母，它位於海平面下五米深的地方。這家餐廳的魅力在於提供給用餐者可欣賞到壯觀海底世界的透明牆。珊瑚礁環繞著整間餐廳，這意味著在這裡用餐有許多的樂趣。如果光是在那裡用餐還不夠的話，顧客還可預約整間餐廳並在那裡過夜。地球上這些稀奇古怪的地方實在讓生活在世界上及用餐變得更為有趣。
