I’m Japanese but moving to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 to Negambo ❤️ I’m married to Sri Lankan! I am so excited to eat and travel there and see awesome sites! Oh and to meet all his family 💕
Hey Ami, sounds like a great adventure ahead of you. I wish you all the best in Sri Lanka!
Recipe30 thank you so much I appreciate that! Hope you come visit Sri Lanka again in a future
Without a doubt! :)
very sorry guys here singlish design nothing for tamil ethnic its complicated of sri lanka historical because no one see tamil eelam calturer or they living or life style you have to go other side and see thamil ethnic thamil eelam people life how difical
@@kethessivam8035 Let's not bring your politics here please.
My understanding is that the “Cinnamon” from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is the best. In the US, we can only get Vietnamese/Thai and only rarely Ceylon Cinnamon. Thanks for the new video and your recipes. Have fun, be happy & eat well
Yes, you're right Robert, sadly a lot of cinnamon is also fake even if it looks real. A staggering difference in aroma!
Oh I see...even for Sri Lankans cinnamon cost more than $2 just for 200g
Robert Rudek Hello! What you said was right! The reason behind the Portuguese arrival to Sri Lanka was the Cinnamon. During early 1500s, Cinnamon from Ceylon was so popular in Europe. Muslim | Arabic merchants charged a hefty price for Cylon Cinnamon. In order to get that business in to their hand and make spread Catholicism in the east, they came here and eventually took over the Cinnamon business to their hand.
Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinamomum Zylanicum) a plant indigenous to Sri Lanka is a moderately size bushy ever green tree. Cinnamon grown and produced in Sri Lanka has acquired long standing reputation in the international market due to its unique, quality, colour, flavour and aroma. The name Ceylon Cinnamon derived from the former name of Sri Lanka is a very established geographical indication for Cinnamon.
What you get from Thailand /Vietnam is called casia.
yes its the best ... if there is any way I can send some I'm more than happy to
I lived here for 7 years born, raised and schooled here, i really miss it ,wish i had the chance to live in Kandy a little longer.
Who else is from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 u don’t have to like u can just tell me
sri lankan from Canada here
Proud Sri Lankan lives in Alexandria.. miss my beautiful Mother land so much
Im a srilankan and im proud be a citizens in here the best contry in the world
Good to hear my friend! Enjoy your country.
Public transportation system is one of the worse things about Sri Lanka, causing so much unnecessary pain to the locals everyday who just want to get to work
It seems they are working on it. Hopefully 😀
Wow what a beautiful country, love the elephants. Must say i'm a little bit jealous. Love the recipe, thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great time.
Glad you enjoyed it, an interesting and beautiful country Sri Lanka.

Kandy is the most respected city, for Temple of the sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha! This is a beautiful video about my motherland! There are heaps of other amazing hidden places to visit that will make you feel like a paradise... 🙏❤️
Definitely need to come back, so much to see. Cheers Gayani! 😀
Did I see Durian?? Wowww!!
Sri Lanka has a lot to offer to the tourists.A lot of natural beauty.Nice food and yami tropical fruits.
Agreed! There's so much more I want to see and taste!
Hi sir. Thank for sharing this vedio. Kandy is important place in Sri lanka. I respect you! Thanks you very much! And sorry for late replay. 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Ishi, thanks my friend, Kandy and it's surroundings are amazing!
My country....pearl of the indian ocean...
Most def!
Thank you ....it's a lovely video about my country !!
Glad you enjoyed it, a beautiful country!
Thank you for coming 😍💓💓❤️come again frm Srilankan citizen
A wonderfully beautiful country. Hope to go back again.
Not many people visit the tea factories. This is actually my first time seeing the work that goes into production.
And that baby elephant crying😭 I guess he's one of the orphaned ones. Elephants are very intelligent creatures and they probably have great emotional capacity.. I've never seen an animal actually tearing like that
Yes it breaks your heart how these beautiful creatures have been treated around the world, by mankind. I'm glad things are changing but still a long way to go.
Thanks for sharing your experience Joel I really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😀
Nice vedio. Srilanka is a beutiful country to visit.
I agree!
Poor baby i hated seeing him in tears,
How r your nieces ? Plz make a vlog with them soon too i love seeing smiling laughing dancing joel :)
I have been to kandy it's beautiful. I stayed at the same hotel . Love the food made in coconut oil
Oh really? A very nice hotel and Kandy is awesome!

Joel I was almost in tears with you. It was sad to watch that elephant just lying there crying 😢
I know, I felt very sad for them, It's truly heart-wrenching to think about what those unfortunate creatures have had to go through all over the world.
Well come back again brooo...

Wel come to the Srilanka 🇱🇰 !!!
Thank you friend 👍
Im from sri lanka but i live in uk and i miss srilanka after seeing this video
That's so nice, I would miss it too.
My country 🇱🇰☝️
I have seen the tooth as a child when I visited while my dad was employed as a presidential advisor. It was a special viewing and we were accompanied by Upal a minister for newspapers I think and Laith who was another minister. The tooth was the size of a finger and a deep yellow in color and pointy. It was too large to be a human tooth but could have been some carving.
Wow, that's an amazing story, you were so lucky to see it! 😀
@@recipe30 After watching your video and a couple of others, you guys brought back some memories. I did some research on the tooth yesterday and found that the Portuguese had captured it, crushed it, burned it and threw the ashes into the sea. The Buddhists of SL claim that it was saved through some miraculous effort that a blue lotus rebirthed the tooth. So this might have been a replacement that someone made perhaps for the one that was lost
Very peautiful plece 🇱🇰 from swiss
Yes would love to see more 👍😀
You need to book the train ticket at least two to three weeks ahead. By the way, wonder how did you find the climate in Sri Lanka?
Really, that long! Wow, I'll be ready next time. It was 29C each and everyday during that time of year, very comfortable but may be a little hot for some. We had no rain at all.
@@recipe30 By the way, if you don't want to a book an intercity train with a seat, you can get a ticket and travel anytime you want. But those trains can be crowded and you may never get to sit. It's good that you found the climate comfortable. It's way too humid for me (especially Colombo), even though I was born and raised in Sri Lanka.
Very true , very true
Missed our motherland😢😢
My home town🙈, its not the coldest, its not the hottest, temperature is like most comfort zone, beauty on the nature also all facilities, 🙈
I hope to go back! 👍
@@recipe30 we are so gladly welcome u here chef😊❤️

When will you be taking small tours? Thanks Joel, it looks like I really need to go :)
contact Beyond Dream Travels via info@beyonddreamtravels.com.au
It's my place bro.
That's cool my friend! 👌
Very friendly people
So true!
Thank you , come again
You bet, I will Lanka, cheers!
@joel Booking seats in advance is a real mess here as there's no online reservation system in place. People take advantage of this and buy as many tickets as possible and sell them for a higher price than published. The train heading back towards Colombo is usually less crowded and should be able to get a couple of seats.
Oh really, I think we also had a public holiday in the mix. I went two days in advance to book, but still nothing. We even tried to buy overpriced tickets, but couldn't get those either. Thanks for your explanation Ziyad. Next time I'll be prepared.
Have fun 🤗🤗😍😍
Thanks man!
What a beautiful video. I love my country. But sadly, The Kandy district tops the list in air pollution in Sri Lanka. Its air is polluted three times more than the air in Colombo. Local government must change this condition as soon as possible.
Those buses are the worst offenders, I feel sorry for Tuk tuk drivers who have to inhale this everyday for hours. Too beautiful of a place to have pollution, I hope you're right and governments change this.
Corrupted political minds will ruin the country. We need a good strategy for taking care of each and every problem occurs in the next 20 years and runs multiple projects to save this beautiful country. We need more kind-hearted people like you to spread the message. Stay safe brother!!!
Good summarized vlog, great video editing.
Appreciate it, cheers! 😃
Nice boss👌👌👌👌
Cheers man!
awesome video hope u had a good time there ✌
You bet, loved it!
Chef how did you end up in Australia being born in France?
My parents came here, I was 9.
Kandy is proclaimed as a world heritage cite by unicef
Wow!
come again 🤗
You bet! 👍
proud to be a Sri Lankan
what about bentota
again come to bentota
I think I drove through there.
👌💕
Cheers Rini!
80km is way too much to ride on a tuk-tuk. Uber is cheaper, better and protects you from diesel fumes. Uber is available in Colombo, not sure about Kandy though.
Yes, lesson learnt, I'll never do that again 😉
