    I guess you have worked out the local’s nods now. Just begun the vid and it is taking me right back 43 years ago when I was young and free. I can’t imagine how cool it would have been to rent a Tuk Tuk. Never stayed there in such opulence but didn’t need it back then and obviously wasn’t available. We felt spoilt at $2 per night back then. Lovely people. Healthy food. Hope they still have the hashish available. So sweet.❤❤Thank you for taking me back.

    From 2012-2020, everywhere I had traveled in East/Southeast Asia I felt safe in each country: Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia,,Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand. I’ve never felt threatened while traveling as a single, solo female traveler. But, then again, I practice safety first by not going to bars by myself, not showing a wod of cash in public, not wear expensive flashy jewelry, not throwing money around, not going out late at night walking in dark areas. Just using common sense goes a long way while traveling alone.
    Only one time in Malaysia I almost got pick-pocketed. I was aware of it before it happened but it just make me more cautious.

    I’m so glad to see you guys visited Nuwara Eliya, many foreign tourists skip there and go to Ella for some reason, I don’t know why.
    If anyone planning to visit Nuwara Eliya after seeing this video, I recommend to stay in “Little England Cottages”

  • @skipper2594
    @skipper2594 7 місяців тому +4

    yes in sri lanka healthcare and education is totally free, ambulance fee is free, university education is free, uniforms are free, text books are free, and( some schools breakfast is also free,)and all the low to middle income families can register their kids to a gvmnt programme called '' shishya aadara'' (basically means student funding) and monthly gvmnt give them money for their bank accounts
    and if you wanna go to a private university , SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT give a loan without interests ,as I know even in that loan , 50% is off . so we just have to pay 50 % of the loan without any interest fee, all we have to do just pay that after we got a job little by little back to the gvmnt ,
    POV
    private schools and private hospitals are nt free and only for private universities, we can get that gvmnt loan.

So lovely to see you were offering lotus blossoms at the Kandy Temple.🙏🙏 It was absolutely to see that fantastic data had been divulged by both of you relating to places to stay, food and prices etc. This will encourage many foreigners to visit SL and enjoy its hidden gems. Thank you so much. Take great care. Lots of love from UK♥♥♥

    Hello Lloyd & Mandy, Congratulations to both of you for doing this wonderful video about Sri Lanka. I'm sure you might have visited many other places of this very diverse country. One has to travel only 2 to 3 hours and your eyes cannot believe the change. So diverse.
    According to the Tourism Development Authority there are more than five thousand places (yes, 5000) one could visit on this island. One travel expert described that the islands in the Indian Ocean are so beautiful; they are Seychelles, Maldives, Andamanen, Lakkadiven, Sri Lanka etc.. Sri Lanka is famous for its beaches, ancient heritage sites, Art & culture, waterfalls, wildlife, natural beauty, gemstones, spices, festivals & a wonderful rain forest.
    You name it, we have it!!!! Please visit this island again and engage in a round trip. You can plan another tour without the places you've already visited (without overlapping) and I'm sure you'll be surprised how many new things you will see. All the best.

    Kandy is special for sri lankan sinhalese ethnicity and buddhists bcz kandy is their cultural capital , and Its special for all sri lankans bcz its the last kingdom of Sri lanka after british peacefully got the power in 1815 ,
    so its a domestic tourism hub actually, I dont know how this place suddenly became tourist attraction, even now , theres nothing much to do in kandy other than learning sri lankan culture , enjoying the views ... sometimes its hard to bring western fun concepts(bars,pubs etc) to sinhalese cultural capital KANDY and to tamil cultural capital JAFFNA ,
    have a nice day good luck

    • @dinush0007

      Just thought to reply as a local. I think Ella is having a more touristic vibe than Kandy. and in Ella you get the mountain view, Nine arch Bridge, Little Adams Peak, Flying Ravana, etc. Kandy is a lot busier than Ella. But still Kandy has a lot of things to see and experience. One day is not enough I think coz you'll have to rush to cover two three places. 2 days to Kandy and 2 to Ella can be recommended. But if you love the serenity and the views, Ella is the best. Hope this helps you. Have a great time in SL!

    You should've explore Horton Plains while you're in Nuwara Eliya. It is a must visit for a beautiful scenery. Btw there is high security in the temple of tooth because it was once attacked by the tamil tigers (LTTE) which killed more than 17 people.

      It was later brought to Sri Lanka from India. Also the branch of the Bo tree where Lord Buddha attained the supremeness, which now can be seen in Anuradhapura as Jaya Sri Maha Bodhiya. Lord Buddha has visited Sri Lanka on 3 occasions mainly, which is recorded in Buddhist documentation. We learn these in history and Buddhism as well. scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=dalada+maligawa&oq=dalada+ There are many articles on this in Google Scholar even.
