      Economy can be built on Public or Private companies
      Srilankan people are expecting Public companies (owned by government) to give them jobs. Here starts the problem
      We need more Private companies (owned by people) than Public companies. **Srilankans are not much business minded and there starts economic problem**

    Colombo to Kandy (Visit Temple of the tooth relic), Kandy to Ella by Train (most scenarios train ride of the world), then spend a few days or 1 week in Ella (many things to do there, it is a tourists city).. then take train to Nuwara Eliya... many things to see their (it's caled little England, old English town, with very cold weather, beautiful tea plantations , breathtaking sceneries), don't forget to visit Horton plains national park (would be a lifetime experience)... Then go to Sigiriya and Dambulla (go to Kawudulla national park or Minneriya national park, can see many elephants)... then go to Polonnaruwa Ancient city and Anuradhapura ancient city(first kingdom of Sri Lanka) .After that go to southern part of Sri Lanka to experience beautiful beaches , surfing and turtles (Mirissa , Polhena , Hiriketiya, Weligama, Unawatuna, Hikkaduwa beaches ) Stay a few days in Galle ( Unesco heritage city, colonial architecture city buit by Dutch 300 years ago)... then go to Benthota and go back to Colombo..
