      29:05 Thanks for giving this honest person a Rs. 100/=. 37:34 You had a good chat with a nice person. 59:38 Yoy tasted some really good food (Oh Yeah...). LOL. It's an amazing travel vlog. You must be very brave to travel alone in such far places, when locals fear it too. If you haven't already visited the ancient city of anuradhapura, I suggest you to visit it. Specially the Oldest tree of the recorded history: Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, Ruwanweliseya, atamasthana and Ranmasu uyana which is believed to have one of the Ancient STAR Gates. Thank you for making my country a better place. May Noble Triple Gem Bless You!

      Yes, these are the experiences you only get when you get to more rural and parts of countries that are less known by tourists. The guide books will tell you there's not much to do in Batticaloa and to go to one of the tourist beach resort areas nearby instead.
