    It looks so nice. I can't help but wonder how the tourist industry is going to be affected by what's happened. Seriously considering going there once things have calmed down a bit, just to help promote tourism in spite of the tragedy. What do you think, does that make any sense or is it a bad idea to go to Sri Lanka now?

      Gabriel Traveler surely things will become normal after few weeks. Security will be higher, but I’m sure our army will uproot every unnecessarily behaving(extremists) people not only terrorists. So don’t forget to travel our country. Next tourism era will be awesome than past.Wish your feet on motherland in near future.đŸ€˜đŸ»đŸ’ȘđŸ»

    Great video, but I would like to mention as a Sri lankan , about 3 years ago I went to Mirissa with two of my other Sri Lankan friends.
    . But we faced a huge discrimination from those people in Mirissa. Just because we are locals. Just because we are Sri Lankans. They restricted us from going in to certain pubs and restaurants. Told us those were opened for foreigners only. At last we decided to act like Indians. Not to speak a word of Sinhalese when we go out. So my experience with Mirissa is really bad , good that you enjoyed it as a foreigner.

    Liked and shared. Beautiful place. Looks like Goa without the Russian land mafia. 😋 Thanks for the video. Amazing that they have a holiday every full moon. The intensely loud music sounds like festivals in India. It's probably hard to beat India in the number of public/bank holidays because every major Hindu🕉, Muslimâ˜Ș or Christian✝ festival is a holiday and then there are celebrations related to Buddhism☞, Jainism and Sikhism. đŸ’ƒđŸŽ”đŸ˜Š
