■ SRI LANKA, KANDY: As I drove away from Kandy my motorbike kept breaking down. Not in the mood to be stranded on some rural road in the middle of the jungles of central Sri Lanka I searched for hotels using Google Maps. Turns out just a short one hour drive North of my position there was a hotel with a 9.7 star rating on Booking.com.
This I had never seen before! I've also never seen anything in this price range either away from both a beach and a major city. After 2 minutes of going back and forth with myself curiosity got the better of me and I made an executive call. I booked the $250 room at the Sri Lankan resort in the middle of the jungle. Now all I had to do was find it before the bike broke down yet again....
3 videos in less than 24 hrs, very progressive!!
Give credit to the internet I think 🤣🤣🤣
Lance is an aggresive progressive....👍
really
That's a real progress from no videos at all in a day.
Fans approve
The young man has 'customer service' down 100%. I can guarantee he will be a big man someday in the Hospitality Industry.
Most of hotel staff like this in Sri Lanka..specially hospitality is really high and warm welcoming ppl .this should be a one reason srilanka attract to tourists
Yeah definitely
Yes his 🤗
Raymond progressive language.
Id go there for sure.better then Belarus
I’m blown away by how kind these people are. In all the videos I watch on this country, the people seem so incredibly friendly and welcoming, so it’s not just the expensive hotel. Very refreshing to see, for someone like me who lives in the northeast part of the USA where everyone is on a short fuse
@Savage Cabbage - Of course all of that diatribe is a stereotypical generalization... There is good and bad in every country (and everything in between). Though I wouldn't want to live in New York either (or any densely populated city).
I lived in the midwest and they were some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life! Everyone says good morning and thank you and yes Sir! Midwesterners are way friendlier than Sri Lankans! And as a Sri Lankan I guarantee that if you were a dark African these people wouldn't hold you in such esteem. This is the plain simple truth. I'm Sri Lankan I know. I had many horrible experiences while taking one of my black friends around, the locals kept calling him "Kaffir/Kapiriya". My friend was not amused. In Sri Lanka the fairer you are the better they treat you.
@@haluwazone299 That is very sad. Skin matters little. The inside of the package though, that is different.
Yeah, the Northeast has many wonderful aspects, but the many short-fused people living along the I-95 corridor from Richmond all the way up to Bangor make the region socially challenging, I imagine. Thankfully, the people farther away from I-95, like in central Pennsylvania, upstate New York and interior New England (closer to Canada), are usually more polite and helpful. But this Southerner-turned-Westerner just couldn't ever live in the Northeast.
It gets worse. I'm originally from Philly and I moved to Portland. Everyone in the Northwest is so much worse than the Northeast. It was like I went to sleep one night and woke up in Idiocracy. The US is a fairly aggressive place but the worst of it is on the West Coast.

Harold: I have a fruit.
Receptionist : Good
😂
very progressive comment
Wow, wonderful!!!!, checkthis out.
Its like an oblivion conversation
Audience approves of this content!
That fruit is star fruit....😉It is good for (suger Patients).....My daughter used to buy ginger biscuits only👸👸she likes it so much
So beautiful.....
@@LeeLeecoolbabychannel awwww
The first guy that Harald met at the hotel is damn good at his job. Hella friendly, informative, engaging and made the language barrier work. 8/10 would hire.
Great video as always captain!
I thought exactly the same as you!
I must give him credit because his English is damn good considering it isn't his first language.
But why he didnt offer harald to take or help with his bag once they arrived in the villa?
I mean he let harald to take his bag on his own, atleast he should offer some help
@@jrg2913 he seemed more excited to show him the cinnamon tree. Just young I think.
Star fruit grows here in Florida too. I'm loving Sri Lanka videos an traveled there so many years ago. It was a trip I'll never forget.
Bites into papaya - "Mango...I obviously approve of"
haha I also was like... Uhmm...papaya white man! lol
Woww,great!!!
So funny I can’t wait to see it. Still watching.
What about, “They cut it into a star? No, it’s shaped that way, but I dunno what the name of it is 🤔 “ lol
@@bellanoche6579 it's simply called a star fruit!... and the other was not mango, it was papaya! Harald has admitted he does not normally eat fruit so he doesn't recognise these!
@@sunethraursulakarunaratne hilariuos
One of your best! They treated you like a millionaire. Pretty cool! Enjoyed watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are correct 🤗👍
That's what you call customer service! I would not give a second thought to stay at that place. Truly amazing to relax and decompress.
I like how Harold has given up on Norway😂
darrin cleary they never heard of Norway
@@ggss1176 Right(?) Scandinavian countries are rarely brought up, but I gotta imagine, Sweden is a big part of known Europe
He once said he never want to lay a foot in that country anymore
Norway is not 3rd world 🌍 country meanwhile there’s nothing over there to do...
@@okapcuisine4060 plenty to do but very expensive!
Sri lanka was on my travel list, but after what happened I was not so sure. After watching your videos, Sri lankan tour, I am going by the end of the year. 👍🤗
Many regards from Croatia 🖐️😊🇭🇷
You are always welcome here!
love from srilanka
Well come to Sri Lanka. The paradise.
Welcome to the heaven in Asia...
Very welcome enjoy . Security has been confirmed 🤗
Dear harald its fruit called "kaamaranka" in Srilanka. Really proud about you friend.your doing great job for my country tourism after Easter attack. Thank you very much 😍😍😍😍 really appreciating ..
Dear Hareld
The fruit what you ate is called star fruit.
@@santhapriyawanigasekara6126 he know its English name bro 😁😁
He eats a slice of papaya and calls it a mango though :P
In India we call it Kamras in hindi
We call "কামারাঙ্গা" "kamaranga" in Bangladesh.
Receptionist: Oh nice tattoo !
You like tattoos ?
Receptionist: Noo
Very progressive
Hahahha.......👏👏
AND....since when does Harald have a back tattoo? I don't recall ever seeing that before.
@@bellejolie2506 yah....😉
@@motorwouter yah
😁😁😁
The Biscuit you just threw was Ginger Biscuit it's very hard to Chew. you usually dip it in Tea and Eat, we don't have Soft Cookies, here all the biscuits we have are hard 😂.
Now some monkey can have tea and ginger biscuit 😂
Ginger biscuits and milk? Sounds terrible!
Now I feel compelled to try that.. gonna look for them at the Indian market!
Alex jones cup of tea for sure
We call them ginger snaps
You all missed the point completely. Harold meant it was stale and had been in that jar for some time thereby losing its consistency.
hey
i am from france but i born in srilanka ,i saw you help one lady selling coconut drink and avacado you gave some money to her in matale,thanks a lot for help like that poor people
Hi.. where are you in france?? Im also france
Rikiishi hes just asking
Ninjaspöket Laban you’re all trash at English
@@liam2434 wonder why
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I wish to visit someday ......and Harold I love watching your videos ....keep making this kinds of videos .....you are the best .....
Would never even contemplate travelling to Sri Lanka, after seeing this resort, now I must follow in your footsteps!
Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, I was there 7 years ago, I want to return some day. Try some Hot Butter Cuttlefish before you leave and wash it down with some Arrack.
Hot butter Cuttlefish? I approve!
@@chevlogs369 It's incredible !
Hell yaaa 🔥
24:20 Pretty sure thats heaven in the distance
dam dude, killer place. I really liked this video
Watching a progressive German/Norwegian drink Danish beer in a Sri Lankan paradise. This is what CZcams was made for
i was dissapointed in his choice of beer :(
Don't forget that he is dressed as swedish Lars from Göteborg!
anton nilson the new version of carlsberg is actually very nice
@@stephenlawn idk about any new version. But the "normal" one is pure water
German/Norwegian backpacker named Lars from Göteborg
The hotel for the price is so worth it. The view and location is beautiful.
oh yeah, its just 1750$ for a week..
They only have 5 Rooms. You have your privacy.
Next year you can come
Im going to Sri Lanka next, thanks to Harald!!!
BT TD wel come
Yes please come
@Bondo McJefferson Lol Nice try bud. But it's coming off as very sketchy the way you're talking.
Same here after Harald's Srilankan episodes i am planning to go to Srilanka, Although we get this nature and these types of restores in India but Srilanka is a great country for nature...!
Wellcome.sirr
this was better value than the 900 dollar place in my opinion.
@Eternal Atake A family of 6 died there? Please explain.
@Eternal Atake The Monkies at Night?
@Eternal Atake holmana...😂

@@atonewiththedust 😂
@finnturk Alla heter Glenn i GBG, det är sen gammalt.
It's an internal joke, that may only Scandinavians will intuitively understand. Harald did speak in Swedish, and Norwegians and Swedes like to make fun of each other. And I guess both Norwegians and Swedes like to make fun of the Danish.. :)
That fire almost looks fake, fantastic quality
@radio brain It looked like that when there as well. Not the camera of frame rate
Spraag It was incredibly hot
@@koenruysseveldt3848 i thought the same
Harald you my friend have such a positive personality and great energy being a foreigner. I love your content.
While you are traveling the world, I spent my Saturday watching your videos.
Keep them up. Total entertainment.
Cheers from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
I've been to Sri Lanka twice on tours and is my favourite country, one reason being it's varied, diverse climate
Matthew I assumed it would be way too hot, do you know if the North would be much cooler compared to the south?
@@stuart73m There is a North-South divide but depends what time of the year you go (looks too hot to me in this video). I went October/November (just prior to the rainy season) and the weather was hot but not humid - I found it more bearable then the UK and recommend going on a 10 day guided tour like i did - brilliant
@@stuart73m the north is one of the hottest areas of Sri Lanka. The coldest areas are up in the mountains, in areas like nuwara eliya where temps can go as low as abt 10°c.
That view from the infinity pool is just spectacular
Pretty amazing that 30 mins of your content can cheer up so many people around the world, myself included!
Your conversations with locals are absurd at times. I really enjoy it
Great vlog Harold, and what an absolutely beautiful place. I wouldn't mind spending that much for a couple of days.
Absolutely gorgeous view! 3 videos in 24 hours. Just cant ask for anything better! We APPROVE!!
Wearing another country’s jersey is cultural appropriation, Mr. Lance!
Imitation is the grestest form of flattery
2 Minutes to Midnight American here, but I have a Canadian flag on my bags when I travel. It just makes life easier.
That cookie is ginger cookie
That cookie is best with a tea😍😍
So spicy
Harold that's sri lankan version of a ginger biscuit
Even though I love the very spartan standards you usually keep, I must admit I also love the occasional sweet, sweet luxurious living that you show us. The mixture makes the luxury that much sweeter and vice versa. L2N approves!
I love how you can just go up and talk with total strangers in remote countries, while I can’t even muster up a hello to people I see everyday who work in my building. ❤️
This Video Was Really Kool💯Type of stuff that makes you really wanna just get out n travel n enjoy life💯🏁Cool video Harald Keep it up!!!
Imagine chilling in the infinity pool outside on a starry night oh my goodness 😫
Damn, the warm welcome of the staff is worth more than 250...really nice place.
totally ...
@ The,, I'm so flattered as Sri Lankan myself,,Thank you so much for you kind compliment ! :-)
We sure do love You Sir! Your Video Production is World Class!...
Agreed!
Very pretty lots of space and fresh air.
I would love staying there.
*It's look like sanhok map in PUBG*
No capppppp
26:06 Actually it’s not a typical cookie. We call it “Ginger Biscuit” and nothing wrong with it. It’s just the way it is, we locals loving it :)
It’s star fruit. Not, Itstafruit lol
Beautiful views
Thanks for sharing your journey!
Then he said "mango" for something that was NOT mango. Silly Harald ... That's why we love ya
That's how they pronounce words that start with 'S'
• Esstarfruit
• Esschool
• Esskype
• Esscooby dooby doo
HAHAH i was dying
@@Samirxkhan esscooby dooby doo 😂 you killin me bro 😂
Starfruit, because when you slice it across it looks like a star. I my country we call it "Five Fingers" because it has five segments. The most popular name for it is, Carambola, I think.
Great job harald. You are presenting real loving sri lanka to the world....
How beautiful. Darn it, I have been to many countries and have many more to visit, and thanks to you, I am adding Sri Lanka on my list. It does look a lot like Costa Rica.
That place looks absolutely spectacular. And the green fruit is the Star fruit. I get it from my local grocery store here in US all the time. It's very delicious when it's ripe. They're also more yellow than they are green when they are ripe.
I actually care about the trees. It's interesting how the hotel/resort utilizes the resources around them.
Sri Lanka looks almost prehistoric. I'm half expecting a dinosaur to walk by.
awesome comment
Thank you for putting very interesting vlogs so often, always look forward to them.
Dear Mr Harald,. My heartiest appreciation for you, Great work,. Whole Sri Nation's love always with you,.. God Bless..
Awesome, these videos make me want to visit Sri Lanka. Especially this resort!
"I dont need a helmet for bicycle riding!"
Famous last words
Keep working your magic Harald!
Mighty good work!
Another great video - informative, interesting, fun and wow, that hotel is amazing.
Thank you for the tips that you giving to Srilankan peoples,as a Srilankan I really appreciate it..may god bless you..
If you feel stressed out this is the place.. soul mind relaxing..
Awesome. The fires in the brick kilns looked slow motion. That resort was amazing!
@@koenruysseveldt3848 agreed.
@ Rob,,Thank You! I appreciate your sweet compliment !:-) I'm proud to be born in Sri Lanka :-):-)
This man lives the life i dream of :D
loved the view from the room, plus that wine.. have a good week.
Love this episode! Amazing place! This video would really help that resort!
Harald finally finds something in mini bar😂😂
@@sammii_more u r cute
@Seb Z. Oh butt hurt random keyboard warrior, when did I brag about my English?
@Seb Z. Oh you were talking about my profile pic, sorry about that 😊
Who's here after Raja was found😂
I am
Wow that hotel from first impressions is stunning with unreal views 😍
It is 4:50am in England and cannot get to sleep, bonus got notification for this! 😃
Never thought id find a vlog starting about bricks so interesting
Man I am so in awe with this place.. It's beautiful!
I swear every time I re-watch a random new video he’s got a new head style.
Yes, some more exciting vlogs from my favorite CZcamsr. And Im sure Harold approves 👍
I approve..
@@montyb2275 thank you for your approval 👍
@@montyb2275 I am honored.
Sri Lanka is great in English. No communication barrier at all.
😪😪😪😪😪🤔
This is one of the most expensive hotels in that country. One night is nearly as much as the average monthly salary in Sri Lanka. Taken that into consideration their english should be even better
@@msi4887 there are plenty of expensive hotels around sri lanka and i have seen this hotel only in this video.sri lankans speak English most of them.
"Is there anything entertaining in my welcome drink??" Hahaha I'm totally going to use that line next time I travel and I'm from "germany" too lol
I just love how informal and realistic you are.
You make Germany proud Harald !!! True son of soil.
Jayant his from Finland
Actually he’s from Norway 🇳🇴 lol
@@stusangster8443 You guys do realize it was a tongue-in-cheek take on the issue?
Such a humble and genuine guy he deserves a bit of luxury
Respect you!! People will strat to love sri lanka becourse of your vedios.awesome. i watched most of them.bless you from london.but im sri lankan.
WoW, What a relaxing, beautiful and peaceful place this is!
I would love to stay in this place for a week enjoying the jungle without complaining ;-)
Amazing place, absolutely worth it. Here in Vancouver you'll pay upwards of 200 a night for a medium range hotel, that place is amazing and the employees are friendly and hospitable, cheers
Wow another Harold video. Tim uploaded today too! What a fantastic way to spend the day off work!!
Whose tim
Thanks for the Carlsberg purchase,used to work for them before I retired. Love your videos.
You're easily one of the best CZcamsrs. Great content.
The cookie was ginger snack which was very hardest crunchy bite mate you should have tea to soak the biscuit 🤷♂️
Yeah bro.
What Harold meant was it was stale and had been there for a while.
@neverlander trending Yeah.. he said it was a ginger snack and was meant to be hard. Harold said it wasn't hard and his teeth sunk in, this means it's stale, which is what Harold was talking about. So 'his' comment was misunderstood, hence why I corrected him. How about pay attention to the video, douche. Oh and nice shirt, did your progressive partner pick that out for you?
@Harald Baldr,
the fruit with star shaped slices is called KAAMBARANKAA (කාඹරන්කා) in sinhala. it is very tasty with little bit of salt and pepper on slices and good as a drink (juice) also. and specially good for people who suffer with diabetes to reduce blood sugar in a natural way.
In english it is called Star fruit. I grow it here in Florida 🇺🇸
73dlb Interesting. It is called exactly the same in Manila except the first syllable is "Ba". I guess that's because Indonesia and the Philippines both have Malay origins and share so many similarities in culture, food, and even physical attributes.
I’n Honduras it basically taste like a green apple , MAYBE a little less sweet/sour
progressive mate
14:19 I like how whenever you make that “white man” joke the locals never laugh 😂
white europeans still think they have any privilege, since they used to rule the world.
@@Ray2311us now what does that have to do with anything? Lighten up, he's being ironic
@@Ray2311us they have. Look at other colours and tell me they did archive the same lol
Great job PROGRESSIVE LANCE! Respect all that you do. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content!
I think this is literally the most zen youtube video I've ever watched, I approve!
Harald, what great video you do. I have only just stumbled across you and have so much to watch and see. You have opened my eyes to what you can achieve in life. Live every day to its full.
Keep up the great videos. Love your channel.
I subbed (My very first sub) it was the wine and the pool that did it! It was between you and bald, but loving your Sir Lanka vids so much.
WHAT A AWESOME PLACE. YOU DESERVE ALITTLE LUXURY. THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG !!!
I like the fact that the videos feel so raw and unedited
Glad you've had a good time here in Sri Lanka
15:57 the tree is actually called a Kapok tree, and is closer to cotton than silk :D
The pool area looks amazing!!! I’m addicted to your videos....looking forward for the next one
@ I pretty much can sit in that pool hours,,, I LOVE WATER ;-):-)
You are so lucky to be able to travel to these places. I would love to lead your lifestyle. Thanks for sharing
@@denisprimeau5111 Harald knows even thai language,u

Always waiting for your upload Mr Harald! Love your vlogs! PH

Lakishan Sivakumar it’s a paradise, make sure to visit trinco and negombo for the best beaches
@@srilankancanadiancricket1101 :P Negambo is one of the lower rated beaches my dude
Check out mirissa beach in southern province. It’s very good!
Harald.. you have turned out the be one of Sri Lanka's Best Ambassadors. Your videos are Absolutely Fantastic. For every Sri Lankan living overseas like myself your videos bring us back home.
We hope you will return. Perhaps even take up residence there. Bring your friends and your family too. Very touched by your Sincerety. Thanks for these Great videos Harry.👍💯👍✴️👍✴️
