As my journey through Sri Lanka will be coming to an end in the next 10 days, I thought adding a few memory fragments might be a good idea. This is clearly a work in progress. Also I realize, the title is completely presumptuous – Sri Lanka is of course much more than the list below.
- Hearing Beethoven’s „Für Elise“ in the cheap keyboard version on every mobile Tuk Tuk bakery
- Having a 10-ton truck drive directly at you on your side of the road
- Scorpions walking through a restaurant
- Being asked „where are you from?“ as a complete non-sequitur
- Eating and drinking the best papaya in the world
- Honking (1-honk, hi, 2-honks, overtake/hi to a good friend, mini-honk: hot girl)
- Getting epic mid-day ocean sunset-like lighting without even trying
- Being unable to decide which of the 6 side-dishes to add next to your curry
- Papadam > chips
- Train rides at 15mph with open doors and windows
- Tuna steak at Zephyr, Mirissa
- Tuk tuks with weird misspelled phrases on them
- Setting the AC to 24 Celsius and feeling cold
- Monsoon-like rain
- LED-lightshow enabled temples
- Insane bus drivers and their counterpart ticket sellers who are standing at bus doors at 80km/h
- Buses with 30% of the luggage space reserved for audio speakers blaring local tunes
- Rice & Curry^e
- Smiling faces everywhere
- Free roaming cows blocking heavy traffic streets
- Dogs joining you on a beach stroll
- Surfing next to turtles
- Monkey families passing by in the trees above
- tbc
