On this day, in 1982 at St. Michael’s hospital in Kollupitiya, Sri Lanka, a historical event that would forever change the world happened. OK, so maybe the event wasn’t THAT important… Any guesses as to what happened 23 years ago today? This is the very first time I’ll [...] Sorry, I couldn’t access my blog last night, so here are the pics I promised from the East to West Fashion show that took place at the Mount Lavinia Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. There’s a lot of nice outfits (and girls of course!). If anyone in SL reading this knows any kids who designed [...] I got an invite to go to a fashion show last night. It’s an annual show put on by the Academy of Design in Colombo where the students showcase their work. It was very impressive that the students designed and even made the outfits themselves! Just before the after party, there was a performance by [...] I had a quick look at the comments on my “About Women” entry and someone suggested I do a bit on pick-up lines. So here it is: What exactly are guys supposed to say when they’re going to speak to a random girl? Sample Pick up Lines Are you [...] I couldn’t login to my blog last night, so here are some pics I took on the 24th. I went out with my cousin (well, uncle, technically) Ivan to go check out some of the Wesak sights. Here’s what I saw. Sorry a lot of the pictures didn’t come out well. I still haven’t got [...] Sri Lankan Travel Tip: When ordering orange juice, ask if they put salt in it. Salt is used here to make the juice less bitter. When I first got to Sri Lanka I had ordered a freshly squeezed OJ*. Once I got it, I took a [...] Today and tomorrow are holidays in Sri Lanka because it’s Wesak. Wesak is essentially the equivalent of Christmas for Buddhists. This is the day they believe Buddha was born and reached enlightenment (some also believe this is the day he died). Wesak is also known as the festival of lights. There are Buddhist flags and [...] Just got in from Trinco a few minutes ago, safe and sound. Overall, a pretty good weekend. Didn’t do anything project or Tsunami related! However, I’ve got some new ideas now… I got to watch my aunt shoot part of a documentary she’s making and I made a new friend who will be in SL [...] *Transcribed* We woke up early (as usual) and headed over to the shoot location at about 07:00. We stopped to get some footage on the road and we saw a lady who was making hoppers so we had some breakfast. Although they were plain (as opposed to milk) hoppers they [...] *Transcribed* Finally, a day of rest and relaxation! It had to start off with the usual mishaps and delays (it just wouldn’t feel right otherwise), but one of the drivers finally brought S and I to a guesthouse. The first mishap was that Ganga had asked us to wait for her outside in the morning. While [...] |
