First Day In Sri Lanka Couldn't Have Been Better! 🇱🇰

We finally made it to Sri Lanka for the first time and today was our first day exploring big city Colombo!
We kicked off the day with a super traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of rice and curry which was fantastic.
From there we headed directly across the road and tried an unknown street drink which was pretty interesting.
We then met Colombo's kindest man Shan who really showed us true Sri Lankan hospitality on our first day in this beautiful country. We shared some fresh buffalo curd and the local treacle which went down a right treat.
Sri Lanka is a island country so we thought it would only be right if we checked out a local beach. Off we went down the road, over the train tracks where we got our first taste of this paradise island.
Finally we ended our first day here with some more delicious local food that again was excellent.
I've gotta be honest we like Colombo way more than we thought we would, especially out of the city center where we're staying 🇱🇰

Bro im not proud to admit this but at 16 I was homeless in Scotland. A Sri Lankan lady who owned a b&b in Dundee took me in and gave me a room for weeks. Im sad to say I repaid her by stealing her television and was promptly arrested. She will be very old now but i never forgave myself for it. Thats how lovely Sri Lankan people are.

13:20 it's kurakkan (finger millet) porridge. Normally we eat a piece of jaggery while drinking it, that's probably why the seller is showing the jaggery box. Sadly he looks like he is afraid to spit out a single english word in case it's wrong(like me😅) White one is garlic porridge. Orange one is sago. The green one is like a herbal rice porridge we call it "kola kanda" basically mean "green porridge"

People look so friendly and welcoming and the food looks fantastic!!! I can't believe how chill it is for the capital city! Did you guys venture into the city centre at all whilst there?

Hi, first of all, thank you for visiting my country. The first meal you two had was a curry with coconut sambal and dal. You said you don't know it, but it's an fired eggplant curry . and the two of you drank a drink, the Sinhala name of the drink was Kurakkan Porridge. English name is finger millet porridge. It is very healthy for the body ❤

The bird you hear at the beginning is called Koha in sri lanka (asian koel in english). They start singing around sri lankan new years (april) which make the festivities kinda special like they are announcing the upcoming new year. But 2 minutes ago I found that in Singapore they start singing around december which is also close to their new year. This bird is onto something!

Oooo how interesting. In Thailand they sing everyday and always live outside your bedroom window

Those thick smoothie like drinks you had are porridge. The left most one was sago and probably sweeter tasting. The one you had was finger millet. Third one was garlic and the green one was herbs.
