Exploring Sri Lanka's Peaceful City. 🇱🇰

  • Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
  • After a 6 and a half hour train journey from Colombo we arrived in Jaffna, the capital city of Sri Lanka's northern province.
    Jaffna is so far from other points of interest in Sri Lanka that I hadn't visited up until now. We took the first morning train so that we'd arrive just after midday and not waste a whole day travelling.
    My hotel, North Gate by Jetwing was conveniently right next to the train station so no need to deal with the tuk-tuk guys. At 11,000 rupees (without breakfast) I felt like it was overpriced for the size of the room and hotel facilities. My friend ‪@Wonderboyjeremy‬ stayed at a nearby hotel that was much cheaper and was just as good as mine.
    Our first mission was to explore for food outside of our hotels. We went searching for seafood but somehow ended up at some local vegetarian joint where we ate some stale Dosa.
    Our exploration of Jaffna by foot eventually led us to Jaffna Fort which is amazingly free to enter. Tourism is so low in Jaffna that they haven't yet though about screwing over the foreigners with absurd ticket prices like they do in places like Sigirya and Horton Plains National Park.
    Apart from a few that came off the train I didn't see another white face the whole day. Although Jaffna is easily accessible by train from Colombo, it doesn't fit in well with a typical tourist's itinerary. Especially if they are either limited by time. You would have to take another 6-9 hour train journey back to Colombo before taking another 7 hour train journey to somewhere like Ella or Sigiriya. It seemed that every bus only went to Colombo too. We tried and failed to find a bus to Kandy.
    I found Jaffna to be a peaceful and relaxing city to explore by foot. There's no touts harassing you and no scammers targeting tourists, just genuine people going about their everyday lives.
    At the end of the day I did get that Jaffna Seafood Curry and was feeling pretty good about the day's adventures.

    As an Indian i feel so happy to see srilankan tamil people living in peace. They underwent so much beacuse of that war which happened a decade before. But they seem to be living a pretty decent life. Happy for them. World peace.

I used to catch the horses in side to ride, ,now almost more than 50 years,the sea was dirty and smelly with shallow sea water and mud sea weeds,the prisoners dump all shit into the sea.The war broke everything I was there where you played cricket walking one day with my friend had a quarrel with muslim boys playing soccer with a tennis ball. they all bunched together and came to hit me I kick them around and chased them single handedly. .bravo.

As your name is Jeremy, maybe you are a Burgher, and as such your first language may be English. Or you could've been educated in English your entire life or it could be the first language in your household.
    To berate a man because he speaks in a particular language is downright cruel. Keep doing you Jeremy.

    There are so many reproachful Sinhala language comments here, shaming Wonderboy (who you are with in this video) on his supposedly poor ability to speak Sinhala. These comments portray him as some sort of cultural traitor. What the makers of such vitriolic and accusatory comments don't realise, is that he and you are both in Jaffna, and practically nobody in Jaffna speaks Sinhala, being a majority Tamil area, and thus he'll not be able to communicate with Tamil people in Jaffna using the Sinhala language. Let me then point out how obviously ignorant it is to admonish him in this way

    Dale, The damage you see of the Jaffna fort, is more to do with the Sri Lankan civil war than anything to do with the Portuguese & Dutch fighting each other 300 years ago. The Tamil separatist were in control of the Jaffna Fort from 1986 to 1995 before government forces recaptured it.
    Though you are probably reluctant to mention the war, it would be useful for those not in the know that this was a war zone for 30 odd years , which explains the relative lack of development & facilities in the Jaffna area.

    • @sunethraursulakarunaratne
      @sunethraursulakarunaratne 5 років тому +13

      I think most people are aware of the Sri Lankan Civil War that lasted 30 years as it was publicised on the news so much and although it's now a little over 10 years since it ended, journalists keep focusing on the war crimes.... but no war has winners...we all suffered and now need to move on from this story and focus on Sri Lanka's many positives instead of poisoning the minds of the next generation.... it was really lovely to see a young Sinhalese man and an older Tamil man talking so sincerely together in Jaffna with no mention of war or feelings of animosity... credit to Jeremy Wonderboy and the other fellow!.... also to Dale for being tactful during his travels.... I remember life in Sri Lanka before the war, during the war and now after the war.... I've lost family that I will never get back and events happened that changed the course of my families future...but we are not bitter.

    Love your videos. A few things here:
    1) you have to pay to enter, but the ticketing office is inside (on your left) at the entrance, so you didn't see it. There is supposed to be a guard to direct you, but he seems to not be doing his job.
    2) You are forbidden from scaling/walking on the walls, or on the grass (as the walls are fragile and the grass can die when many people walk on it).
    3) you cannot record video inside; only photos can be taken (no idea why, but that's the law).
    None of this is your fault obviously, they should have explained it to you.
