  • A foreigner in Sri Lanka explores the capital city of Colombo. There I meet and talk to many friendly Sri Lankan locals who show me about life in the country. By the se shore they treat me to street food and introduce me to the beedi and how to use it.

    Please refrain from using 'Namaste' as a greeting here, as we are not in India. Just like you wouldn't say 'Bonjour' in London, it's essential to adapt to the local customs. In Sri Lanka, the primary language is Sinhalese, while Tamil is predominantly spoken in the north. Here are a few words in Sinhala:
    Good = Hondai
    Thank you = Sthuthiy
    Ayubowan = a greeting to welcome people (Hello/Good morning/afternoon/evening)

    • @MadlyRover

      You are not in India but could have been literally in China if India didn't interfered at the right time.
      I accept and appreciate you being a proud independent country, but problem is that big fish try to eat up the small ones (unless it's a herbivore big fish like India)...
      Your government should refrain from taking loans from those merchant like countries, but those politicians do it for bribe. We want people of our neighboring countries to stand against corruption of their politicians, which will protect their sovereignty. Being poor is better than being under debt that's almost unpayable.
