Finally got my feet wet in Vatsim: I looked around where is a tower online, preferably with little trafic and found Malé intl (VRMM)
Made a practice flight first, then logged on to Vatsim and found the tower is really up and responding. So I did 2 VRF circuits: 1 touch and go, 1 full stop. I was so nervous I almost stalled on the first base leg, then almost crashed on my first landing 
Anyhow I managed to survive it, Malé and its proximity is an awesome place and if the ATC officer would ever see this post, a big thank you for your service!
