Well..I am as "Colombo dweller" as it gets! A "Kolpitty person" to be precise. My home in SL is in the heart of the city across a shopping mall and BUSY main road. Man..sometimes I miss all that noise and chaos! As a result I am happiest even here in Qatar staying as close to a main road as pos!
Yeah SL is a beautiful Island but sadly to a great extent spoiled by both a civil war and bad governing.But Inshallah I still fervently hope it will one day shine like the "pearl" it is refereed to.
tinkz, thanks.. SL is "Known for its white-sanded beaches and turquoise sea, its abundance of rare wild-life and rich foliage, its precious gem mines, its rolling hills carpeted with the best tea in the world, and its rich history and cultural heritage, Sri Lanka is a breath-taking get-away."
how i wish i can visit maldives anytime soon and plunge into the deep..
tinkz, i think so..lol..maybe if they will explain it to me, i may not even understand it..(since i'm not even good in geography and stuffs like that)..
fathimah, most of the male colleagues we have here in our company came from colombo, sl. they taught me some of their words like "nanri" and i teach them some filipino words in return..though i tend to forget some coz i rarely use it..
Impressed by your knowledge.You know Lankans quite well. But actually I'm not Sinhalese either!My dad is a Kandian Moor though and speaks Tamil but isn't Tamil(make sense?) and my mom is an Indian. So I'm kind of a mixed blessing!I don't really know Tamil but can understand the basics.
Sheesh: Yep your friend must sure be a Tamil. Whereabouts SL is he from?
There are two major languages in SL... Tamil and Sinhalese... and by the looks/ sounds of it... Fatimah prolly belongs to the other sect... :) Thats why she knows Tamil but aint her language :P
Afternoon Shisha... and that too Strawberry Flavor... :)

Shukriyaa tinks..now i know..i think most of them came from colombo..because they are neighbors in their village..
yea every sl claims to be from Colombo or near it ... but truth is u can tell who is from and who isnt if u understand colombo is an urban city.

I'm yet to figure my own self out. Why do you think I always propagate the message "nationalities/races are overrated" =D
