3 month + 1 week

Wow....three months plus now.
I have a ton of photo's to upload, have not had time to do so as of yet. They will be forth coming soon, I promise.
Some more observations to throw out for you all.
The floor of every restrooms here is soaked in water, plus who knows what else. Every toilet has a hose for personal cleanliness, hence water goes everywhere. The mall, work, wherever, the floor is soaking wet. It is quite gross IMO.
Car horns....still hear them all the time. Everytime of the day or night people honk their horns to get their friends to come downstairs, at the car in front of them, at the car behind them, to have the employees at restaurants or stores come out and serve them. Yep, on a busy four lane road, just stop, hit your horn and someone will run out and take your order, either for food or goods in a store. Ah, forget about the traffic, you're important, not anyone else.
Oh, sports cars, some nice cars here, and some cars that think they are nice cars. Some idiots rev the motors so you can hear them a Km away, then scream down the road, again day and anytime of night. You can hear the motors screaming to be shifted. Some people just shouldn't have nice stuff.
Horns and engines all night long....peace and tranquility

Sri Lanka

So been back four days now, my hearing has returned.
Trip was a much needed break, very touristy though. Nice people, friendly, but I don't blame them, they need to make a living, but everywhere you went people were trying to sell you stuff or services.
Every square inch of the place is used, either to grow food, build housing or for manufacturing, outside of the national park, everything is used. When you have 20 million people crammed onto an island that would fit into one little corner of Ontario, who can blame them?
Great part of the trip? Rain and Greenery. It felt so good to get wet and walk around in the rain! A warm rain, not like Guelph this time of year.
Bought some things, including tea, see photo's below.
