a little bit of shopping.
My Sri Lankan Experience... *I only spent the day here en route from the Maldives to India. Highs: The temple I visited; a western-styled shopping center; finding a taxi driver to take me around for the day for a very low price. Lows: Being very limited on time here. Best Moment: Being able to stock up on some more clothes. Sights: Temple; elephant with massive tusks; Buddha-statues all over the city; multiple police and military checkpoints. Tastes: Excellent gelato. Purchases: A skirt; tank top; earrings; purse. Western Companies Out Here: McDonald's; KFC; Pizza Hut; Lush. Other General Info... Visa needed? No. Transportation: Emirates into Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan Airlines out of Sri Lanka. Type of currency? Sri Lankan rupees. One hundred rupees is equal to about $1 U.S. Wallet Friendly? Yes. I didn't stay overnight so I don't know about hotels...but clothes were very inexpensive. Language: Singhalese. Things Sri Lanka Is Known For: Tea; beaches; current turmoil within their country. Religion: Buddhist and Catholic. Costs: $50 |
