There were two types of people I met on this trip. The first one said "Hello!" to ask me if I needed a tuk tuk or they wanted me to buy something at their shops. Often I replied to them "I am walking to the beach", or "I already booked a car". People in the second group said "Hello!" with big and happy smiles, and I could say that their smiles were one of the biggest and happiest I've ever seen. P... Read Full Entry

Sri Lankan food at lunch

6 bowls of chicken curry and other food which my Sri Lankan driver was going to eat with a plate of rice. Like other locals, he ate the food with his right hand. This shot was taken when we traveled from Dambulla back to Negombo.

Sri Lankan notes

These are 10, 20 and 50 Rupees notes. You can see fishermen on the 20 Rupees note (on the right side), which are one of the symbols of Sri Lanka.

Thanks for your blog (part 3). Besides visiting interesting sites, I really feel that those people I met during travels live with me forever rather than the places.

Your Photos are very good.
Thankyou for including more Photos of Your self. Your natural beauty is outstanding, and helps Your travel experience presentation a lot. I like Your Photos much more than the Buddha idols and Temples. You are a Beautifull living person, compared to Buddha, who has no life, and not so beautifull. It is just a little interesting to learn about the extent of the Buddha influence compared to the incredible beauty of Nature. However You are doing a great work with Your Travel experience commentary. Be encouraged.!!!!!
