Very interesting to see their mall stores appear to be thriving even with it empty w/o people. Our malls here in the USA have many closed stores or non- existent.

Yeah this season is full of scorching sunny days. The South western monsoon starts in the later part of June. The Galle Face green visit will be fun and joyful in the evening or later on. Thank you in Sinhala is Bohoma Stuthi ( thank you so much). Ayubowan is generally used for welcome or even Hi. My advice is always carry plenty of water or any drinking fluids, wear a cap or hat that covers your forehead and eyes. The meteorology warns of ever increasing temperature and heating climate. We're being used to this sunny and hot climatic condition. Sometimes we avoid traveling during the day time and prefer evening visit. You better stockpile plenty of beers during the day time to avoid the scorching sunny days. 😅 Thank you Chris and hope you will have a great time in Hikkaduwa. Enjoy your stay with the beach front and its activities 👍
