Cadjugama

*Transcribed*

“Gama” means “Village” in Sinhala. On the way back to Colombo, we stopped in a place called Cadjugama. Eben and I waited in the car and I noticed a lady on the side of the road waving her hand. I remembered Kunju telling me something about a place where pretty ladies were supposed to be selling stuff on the road. Yup, this was the place. The women were selling Cashew nuts! I have good news and I have bad news. What is that you say? Bad news first? Sure.

The bad news is, these “pretty” women were not pretty at all. I could continue this thought with a barrage of ugly and fat jokes that I used to be famous for. Since I’m a little nicer these days, we will leave it at that. The good news is: Kunju, I know how much you love Cashew nuts and it turns out that Tudor and Samson have bought you some bags. I told them I’m only willing to carry so many nuts! :)


Cadjugama – Sorry this is a terrible pic. At first I wondered why everyone here was selling Cashew nuts. Being a business person it didn’t make sense that there would be so many cashew shops next to each other. Then someone said this is Cadjugama – the Cashew Village…riiiight. Got it.
