@@MrAswarup Hi, and thanks for watching! Are you referring to the economic and financial situation, or the worldwide pandemic? Unfortunately these are hard travel times (and for life in general), many places in the world. We have traveled quite a bit through the pandemic, and not sure if there is a right answer to this question as it varies so much from person to person. However, in any case we would highly recommend you purchase travel insurance so you have the freedom to choose as the situation evolves. There are a number of companies that provide "cancel for any reason" insurance and you would get most of your money back, should you decide it doesn't feel right to go come May. But note, most travel insurance is not cancel for any reason, and often the eligible reasons are very specific. But if you Google for those terms, you should have a number of options and you'll pay a little bit higher premium for the convenience. We would also recommend monitoring what your Embassy suggests for travel there, especially since if a situation were to arise they would be your lifeline. Many have programs where you can register your travels and they also send you alerts leading up to and during your time there. Please let us know if you have other questions. Best of luck!
@@FindingSalas Thank you for answering the question in detail, much appreciated. I was specifically interested in Sri Lanka as I am travelling there in May third week
@@MrAswarup ok understood 😊. Personally, we would continue to consider the trip and purchase travel insurance. We also invite any locals watching to continue commenting on the situation as we approach mid-May. A local called Lalith Seelanatha commented on this below too, and I will tag them to give more updates as we get closer. Good luck in your travels!
@@MrAswarup crisis will be resolved soon. Government need to do it. Otherwise they will go home 😁. Both Opposition parties and Government and Sri Lankan people know that, How important is tourism for Sri Lankan economy. Therefore there no issue for tourists. You all welcome guys. But make a research plan before visiting the places. That will bring you back a good satisfaction. Good luck
Hello and thank you for connecting! Sri Lanka is so very beautiful! Not sure what scene you mean in particular, but it does have a lot of beautiful corners. ❤
Hi Civivva! That is so exciting, what a fun list of escapes you have. We hope you have the very best time!! ❤️👍🌊 You'll have to tell us your favorite spots so we know where to go next. 😁
Hi again, and great question! First of all, the kids could not get enough of the roti (flatbread), rice (which is made with coconut milk), and great variety of fruit. So at minimum, there is that. We stayed in four different places that came with meals (at additional cost), and all were willing to tailor spices for the kids. Two were small hotels, two were Airbnbs. So the kids did get to try dhals and other curries. Not sure how it will play out eating out, but all of these cities/locations have touristic restaurants too, so there's also that option.
Hello and thank you for the warm welcome! ❤ Thank you as well for watching and subscribing. That really helps our channel, and we have lots more videos to come. Another from southern Sri Lanka soon. 🥳🎉
Hello Kasun! Thanks for watching, and for your kind welcome! We loved Sri Lanka, truly. A big part was all the warm, lovely people we met. We cannot wait to return! ❤️
It is not normal to have power cut. But currently, Sri Lanka is going on a serious economic crisis. It force to limit the oil import and lead to power crisis..
Hello! Thank you for watching and also weighing in on the situation. 🙏 Another hopeful traveler called @Ashish Swarup commented above and asked about the situation and if it were advisable to travel in mid-May (about six weeks from now). We suggested purchasing good travel insurance, and also invited locals watching to give more current updates as the situation can change rapidly. Please feel free to weigh in on that if you feel so inclined. ❤
My mother srilankan Colombo now 28 years living Europe Portugal My father original portoghese ilike another time visit mom country thanks video clip producers UA-cam
Hello friend! Sri Lanka and Portugal - what beautiful heritage you have! The beauty of spaces like UA-cam are you can take a trip or a vacation without leaving home. Thank you for watching and have a great day! ❤
Hello, thank you for watching the video, and most importantly thank you for your warm welcome! Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country, and we're loving that UA-cam is connecting us even further. Have a beautiful day! ❤️
Hi Aloke! Thanks for tuning in and watching our vlog. 😁🙏 We did see that, we believe. But the park guide told us no video by the painting/murals so we didn't capture that part.
Nice vlog 😍 very cinematic and editing is actually good. Can't wait for little england video 😂 next time don't play Indian musics in Sri Lanka vlog😂 ❤️ thank you for coming Sri Lanka ❤️😍
Hello and thank you for watching and for all your kind comments! This area is so beautiful to film! And we hear you 100% on the music. We want it to be engaging *and* authentic, but UA-cam has a lot of rules around copyrights and music. They will mute the video or block it entirely in certain countries if you break those rules, which we learned the hard way from some of our other videos trying to play music from those countries. So now we are working from a music library that is royalty free so we can play it here on UA-cam for everyone. But unfortunately we could not find any Sinhala songs. Please accept our apologies, and we'll keep looking! ❤
Hello and thank you for watching the video! Sri Lanka is really such a beautiful country - the landscape and the people! Making a vlog here was a joy! ❤
Hi, and thanks for watching! 🥳 We would love to include Sinhala music, but we have to use copyright-free music to post the videos on UA-cam and have it viewable in all countries. Otherwise UA-cam blocks or mutes videos, unfortunately (which we learned the hard way). We could not find any from Sri Lanka that wasn't subject to copyright, but we will keep looking. If you have ideas please let us know. 😊🙏
@@nethul we're glad you understand. We love that UA-cam gives us a space to share our experiences and interests. We certainly don't see enough from Sri Lanka on our TV stations, or many corners of this beautiful earth. But you can log onto UA-cam and find all kinds of great stuff. But, at the same time, we wish UA-cam wouldn't restrict our music use. Maybe that will improve in the future. 😕🤔
Hi! Are you referring to C*VID? Cases were highest back in August 2021, but they are much more level currently. Almost 80% of the population has received at least one shot. Here is the dashboard from the World Health Organization: covid19.who.int/region/searo/country/lk Here is the dashboard from Sri Lanka's health department: hpb.health.gov.lk/covid19-dashboard/ Here is US Embassy information for Sri Lanka that provides broader information on testing and vaccine requirements: lk.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/ Hope that helps!
Hello and thank you for this great question! I hope you can tell from the video how much we loved it. The food, the landscape, the people -- all so wonderful! ❤
Hello and thank you, we love our little travel companions. The people of Sri Lanka were especially kind to our children, and we are so grateful for that! 🙏❤
Excuse me dont put Indian / Hindi songs for Sri Lankan videos. Hindi speaking Sri Lankans are 0% 🙂. There is 3 major languages in Sri Lanka. Majority speaking Sinhalese then Tamil and English. We may looks similar but Sri Lankans are not Indians. There is a big difference between two nations 🙂
Hello, and thank you for your comment. A few other viewers have voiced this as well, and we hear you 100%. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and indeed distinct from India. The music selection only comes down to what UA-cam allows, not necessarily what we want to include. We learned the hard way UA-cam blocks or mutes videos that use any popular music, whether that is music from Sri Lanka or the United States where we are from. We used local music from our Peru and also our Brazil videos and unfortunately UA-cam just blocks those videos for some users. So now we are pulling from the "copyright free" library, which we found sadly does not have Sinhala music. But we will keep looking! ❤
@@FindingSalas You know some people dont even know about a country called Sri Lanka. But they know India. And they think we are a part of India. Like Tasmania of Australia. Sri Lanka is a sovereign nation from thousands of years. We are not powerful than India. We are a small island nation. But saying we are similar to India is kind an insulting thing for some of us 😂😂😂
@@findwithpeedee9707 we understand. 😊 And definitely recommend people learn more about Sri Lanka. Your culture is rich and beautiful. And food, unmatched! 😁😁😁

Did your kids like the food? Was it too spicy for them? Are kids are used to spicy food but I hear Sri Lanka is on another level? 🤔
