One of the things undeniable about the Sri Lanka trip is the hospitality, kindness of the people, and curiosity about getting to know you. Vlogging is not my whole life, so there are days I do not record anything that is where the best interactions happen. So what you see in my videos is just a small part of kindness you see. I am very grateful for you guys welcoming me to the country with open arms and supporting what I love doing. This video is another proof of the high level of hospitality in this country - where people are letting me in their shops, showing me things where normally even locals are not allowed to enter, and explain me their food and culture. Enjoy another video from Sri Lanka and do not forget to leave your comments. I cannot reply to all but you can be sure, I read all of them. Davud Machan
Brother Davud I am with you on the fact that vlogging should not be one's sole travel intention. In a way the times you don't hold a GoPro may liberate you to blend with the locals more freely and in an unobtrusive manner. Thanks for sharing your observations and feedback about Sri Lanka and its people and places. We appreciate you being here and sharing your travel experiences with the world. Sri Lanka needs more like you who are open to seeing and willing to talk about the positives despite a few challenges travellers may face while being here. In that sense we salute you sir!
Davud,nice to hear that you're close to where I am living. Haldummulla is the place I am living in. Enjoy your visit. There are nice places as well as nice people. If I had known you are Bandarawela I would have invited. Have a safe journey. 🙏✌😁
Amazing video. By the way , jaggery is pure unrefined sugar made naturally from the sap of the kithul tree.kithul is only found in sir Lanka and south India.it is slow release carbohydrate is much better that white sugar and most brown sugars. Welcome people from Azerbaijan.
Brother, if you can, visit the rural areas too..It will be a new experience ... Everyone in Sri Lanka loves you for your kindness and friendliness with Sri Lankans Thank you I am a Sri Lankan from Dubai🇱🇰🇦🇪💐🙏
It is amazing how you interact with people 😍 and I agree this is not a typical vlog but there's something different here. Your experiences have become ours and make us wait to have another one with you..💫
Hey Davud thank you for visiting my birth place bandarawela, I live in dubai since a decade, it’s absolutely wonderful that you’re showing us the positivity of the Srilankan people once again thank you 🙏
I'm a Sri Lankan🇱🇰 .I'm starting to watch your videos recently🌝 .You've presenting a beautiful program 🎊.So I suggest you go to the Northern Province of Sri Lanka as well. There you will be able to experience a lot🌅. You will be able to experience a lot due to the cultural diversity of the area, the diversity of lifestyle, the variety of food and drink and the natural beauty. I wish you all the best for your future.🌼✨️
@@shenya3563 super friendly sri lankan people .my two sons and I went to Jaffna by luxury night bus. We arrived at 4.30 am. The boys were so welcoming and the bus ride was the most comfortable I have had. I used to be coach driver in the UK.
The tea will be good. The spices the man showed you in the tea shop were cardamom and clove. Fragrant spices rather than hot ones! If you do not like very hot dishes then the milder ones will be yellow, and be sure to fish out the green chillies. Dhal is usually a good choice for a mild curry. Jaggery is the palm sugar from the kithul tree, made by rendering down the syrup from tapping the liquid from the tree a bit like the way maple syrup is made in Canada, but a different type of tree. If you haven’t tried it yet you should try curd with kithul honey. It is like yoghurt but only keeps for a day, so very fresh. Usually made with buffalo milk. If you buy some jaggery it is a sugar that will keep almost indefinitely, often it comes as a ball shape wrapped with leaves. You may have eaten a wonderful desert a bit like a solid custard at the wedding you went to. It is called watelappan, and is a Moslem delicacy that everyone in SL loves. Glad you got your bag fixed, it’s a great country for that kind of thing.
I am glad that you use Sri Lanka and Ceylon interchangeably. It shows your people are mature and not hung up on the past like some other former colonies who blame their failings on colonialism rather than their own bad decisions. I also like Davud's videos which show the real daily life of Sri Lankan people. I wish the Sri Lankan people an end to bad government, the attainment of peace, and great prosperity.

Srilanka s tea industry is the fourth largest in the world. When it comes to quality and export number one in the world .it goes as CAYLON TEA. Tea is the number 4 foreign exchange earner. Srilanka is well known among the tea drinkers of the entire world. Have a wonderful & safe stay.
Davud, Great video of Bandarawela my birth town. The taylors name was 'Cyril Rajapakse'. The 'elephants' on your T shirt stands for 'Strength'. That was a unexpected stumble in to the Grinding Mill store. Your eyes must have burned with the chili dust. Paris is great salesman, he saw the opportunity and took it, great ambassador. 😂 Hope you enjoyed your tea☕ safe travels🙏 Mano 🌹(Baltimore USA, originally from Sri Lanka)

That sugary stuff called Jaggery is made by honey from Kithul tree (like one of palm trees). Original jaggery do not sugar added. It is sweet like sugar. Toddy (like an alcoholic local drink) also made from kithul tree as well as coconut tree. Enjoy your exploring in SL. Cheers bro👍🏻
Brother from ur thise vedio I liked mr faharis he got a.verry wise business skills did u notice how dus he sold to u abot he s country srilankans good to u iam so happy for mr faharise thanks to u
Hi Davud, I’v been following you travel vedios, specially the SL ones, i really like your simplicity and the way you communicate, very down to earth, keep up ya great work mate Cheers
Siril is his first name and Raja-pakse is his last. When Sri Lankans say their names out loud, it sounds like 1 long name lol. Thank you for exploring my country’s bountiful beauty and for also being so humble and open minded. Best of luck to you brother and happy travels.
I see that you were quite surprised when you heard about Najeeb's background. A graduate with foreign work experience at a multinational but now working at a small establishment, yet I felt he was happy working there ...Sri Lanka for a small island nation features well in the UN Human Developement Index (HDI) coming in at 72 out of 189 countries....despite some major challenges the country has faced during the last few decades our free education system and the free health care has mainly contributed to commendable human development in the country. What we sadly lack is visionary political leadership. Its parochial and dynasty led ....by the way I was surprised to also learn that your President and Vice President both are Aliyev's!! Are they siblings....in SL the Prez, PM and FM all certainly are siblings 😂😂😂
@@rsonumax8530 you can certainly hold your head high thanks to your City dwellers doing justice to our renowned hospitality ....Well done and hge props 👏👏👏
@@illuminatisl888 We can not escape or act in apathy that we are a Democracy. Hence if one does not personally take it upon him or herself then we have to appoint representatives to govern the country. Political leadership has not gone waste in state building if you look around many of our neighbours. Its a matter of how focused and who the so appointed political leaders have at the center of their interest. My previous comment was linked to that.
Wow. Love to watch ur videos."Paris" is the name of an arab man who captured the France once up on a time calle Salman Faaris. Arab name. Then the city name called as paris in english. Muslims usually kept arab names and his name is thus Faaris.😁.

Hi Brother, just want to let you know that the Jaggery you tasted,(timeline 22:26) is not Coconut with sugar, it is Sugar made from the palm(coconut tree) Natural sugar we use in Sri Lanka, we still use this in local homes, and farin sugar (chemical white sugar) been only used in baking and stuff. for foreign baking stuff like Cake, Bun, Muffins.. Thank you.

The name of the town Bandarawela could be actually hybrid Sri Lankan and Persian. Bandar means port in Persian
There is no connection with iran. Bandarawela is in central Srilanka.
