Someday I will visit Ceylon and India.

0:42 It's not that the traffic lights doesn't work. when Traffic intensifies like in rush hour, traffic police tend to take over as u can see in the left corner. when traffic is really light, in some junctions, the lights are turned off. Depends on how much traffic there is and the location it tends to be turned on or off. Atleast in colombo.

At 37:34 , it stands as one of the oldest hotels in Sri Lanka. This historic establishment has hosted some of the greatest individuals of all time, including Steven Spielberg, Japanese Emperor Hirohito, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the author of the Sherlock Holmes series), U.S. President Richard Nixon, Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space), Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, the late Queen Elizabeth, as well as the late Prince Philip. You can also view Prince Philip's first car at the hotel, and the list goes on.

21:49 The Cake that was Baked at Home Lakshman Kadirgamar, a highly esteemed Sri Lankan Tamil statesman, diplomat, and lawyer, served as Sri Lanka's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1994 to 2001 and again from April 2004 until his tragic assassination in August 2005. Born on April 12, 1932, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Kadirgamar received his education at Trinity College in Kandy, deviating from his brothers who attended Royal College Colombo. Before entering politics, Kadirgamar enjoyed a distinguished legal career, practicing law in both Sri Lanka and abroad. He pursued his education at the University of Ceylon and later undertook higher studies at the University of Oxford, where he focused on law. Notably, he became the second Sri Lankan to serve as president of the Oxford Union in 1959. Following his studies, he was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn, London, and practiced law in both Sri Lanka and England. Kadirgamar's tenure as Foreign Minister was characterized by his dedication to promoting peace and reconciliation in Sri Lanka, especially during the nation's prolonged civil conflict between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). He advocated for a negotiated settlement to the conflict and engaged with the international community to address the grievances of all ethnic communities in Sri Lanka. He vehemently opposed the LTTE's armed conflict and courageously labeled them a terrorist organization rather than mere rebels who threatened the lives of innocent Sri Lankans. Notably, he spearheaded efforts to designate Poya Day as a holiday and list the LTTE as a terrorist organization within the United Nations. Additionally, Kadirgamar worked tirelessly to establish Buddhist Poya day as a globally recognized holiday within the United Nations. Tragically, Kadirgamar's life was cut short when he was assassinated by an LTTE sniper on August 12, 2005, outside his home in Colombo. His assassination sparked condemnation both within Sri Lanka and internationally. Despite his untimely death, Kadirgamar's legacy endures, commemorated for his unwavering commitment to peace, reconciliation, and international relations. Known for his sharp wit, Kadirgamar once responded pointedly to Australian cricketer Shane Warne's apprehensions about terrorist threats in Colombo during the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Warne had expressed concerns about potential dangers, suggesting that he could be targeted by a drive-in bomber while shopping. Kadirgamar's retort, "Shopping is for sissies," garnered attention and stirred controversy. Subsequently, the Australian Prime Minister personally reached out to Kadirgamar to address the incident and ease tensions. Later, Kadirgamar extended an olive branch by sending a bouquet of flowers to his Australian counterpart, reportedly remarking, "Flowers are also for sissies." Kadirgamar's tenure as Foreign Minister significantly influenced international opinion on Sri Lanka and the LTTE, contributing to the LTTE's eventual defeat in 2009. His recognition of the need for significant change within Sri Lanka to foster peaceful coexistence among its communities remains a vital part of his legacy. In honor of his memory, the Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies, a think tank focusing on international affairs, was established a year after his assassination. Additionally, a statue of Kadirgamar now stands at the Liberty roundabout in Colombo. Furthermore, Balliol College established the Lakshman Kadirgamar Fund in April 2013 to assist students from Asia, perpetuating his legacy of educational support. Sri Lanka posthumously awarded him its highest national honor, Sri Lankabhimanya. Reflecting on his time at Oxford University, Kadirgamar humbly remarked , "Oxford was the icing on the cake, but the cake was baked at home," drawing attention to his humble Sri Lankan heritage during his acceptance speech upon being elected an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College in 2004, amidst resounding applause from his fellow Oxford alumni.

Nice, engaging vlog. You couple will be very popular in no time.

Ждём новых видосов🎉😊❤ позновательных и интересных

I love that you explore all over Asia, You are very detailed and you check the prices and stuff. Very informative..

My home town Colombo 6 used to be like that with big trees in 1970's when we lived there. Now all the trees chopped off. It is like a concrete jungle.

I watched a few of your vlogs and really love how you interact with people and try to show everything as it is and explore the lifestyle of people. Also, I wish that your dreams come true and both of you become successful❤

Not deferent dear colombo 7 or any other places normally prices are higher in the five star to seven star hotels ❤❤ But i think food is more delicious in small hotels

Great video !

I haven’t been to Sri Lanka, wish to in the future. It looks more like Singapore residential areas with all those trees and White Houses ❤

Well done for showing different sides of Colombo. Most western vloggers just like to confirm the expected stereotype from a south Asian country and show only the street markets and the shanties.

Nice travels. I reccommend try see Hikkaduwa, Galle light house, Tangalla, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Jaffna, Trincomalee, and wildlife. Plz be advised any waterways, always assume their are mugger crocs before dipping in. Enjoy your travels as couple from USA. Im SLAmerican. Cheers.

Hi welcome to Srilanka💜

Skipping Jagro was a mistake,, give it a shot again if u're still in SL. They grow strawberries in their own farms at Hill country it's a reputed local business with export quality. Enjoy safely duo!!

38.41 This guy is fake. He was trying to get some money from you and tried to sell a tour but he saw you guys were recording and he changed his attitude. He is not working at any hotel and he is just a scam. Do not go out with any strangers or any one like this guy. This is their job to make money. BTW we need to see more magic tricks from you. Enjoy guys.

Visit Aluthkade street in Colombo to taste the most delicious varieties of street food and drinks at very low prices.

Similar citizens of Sri Lanka pay over 350% tax on imported vehicles and politicians who impose such taxes import and use tax free vehicles. People suffer a lot in a country like Sri Lanka where everything is due to politicians. 😢

😊
