The highway robbers of the Buttala Road. Fed by clueless people they now demand food. It's a matter of time before someone gets killed and then they'll blame the elephants. Don't be part of the problem, don't feed wild animals. #srilanka #yala #elephant #tuktuk #canonwildlife

My respect for Sri Lanka went up immensely. It is not a developed western country. In fact 100 Indian Rupees gets 330 SL Rupees. You have an advantage. But the civic sense, customer service, cleanliness, driving sense... Outstanding! Even remote roads are well maintained.

The Watawala Tea ad backlash reveals a hard truth. In Sri Lanka, cultural values often outweigh harsh realities, like the rising cases of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment within families. A majority of Sri Lankans tend to protect this image more than the children. Brands
