Sri Lanka

"We are fa-mi-ly…" 

I loved Sri Lanka. It was one of the most fascinating places I have visited, given the vibrant colors of my surroundings, the tastiness of the food, and friendliness of its people. No one wonder the Portuguese thought it was the Garden of Eden.

The entire country has just a bit fewer people than the city of Beijing. So nice and spread out. We arrived early in the morning from Kuala Lumpur, and hired a car at the airport to take us around Colombo for the day. Colombo was far from developed in terms of infrastructure. Our two-hour drive down a two way road towards the city was bumpy yet lined with a bustling assortment of people, overcrowded busses, bicycles, and merchants.
