    Drying rice in the square, I can understand, but in the main road, it is incredible;
    It's a blessing to have someone to travel with you everywhere, your popularity is really good!
    在廣場曬米,我能理解,但在大馬路,真是匪夷所思;
    有人帶著到處去旅行真是幸福,你的人緣真的很好唷!👍😃👏

    Ken, the ocean saltwater is pumped or sluiced into the drying beds. As the water evaporates the salt crystallizes and is collected for use/sale. No chemicals are needed or added to enhance the drying process as the sun does all of the work. Animals in the area (goats, cows, elephants, etc.) love salt and will find the drying beds and help themselves.

    Wow Cool Vlog and respect for the two Lankans and their generosity 💙
    4:17 :- In some parts of Middle east and some other countries both pray the Friday prayer(Jummah) in mosques separately..Even in Sri Lanka there are lots of mosques which offer prayers for both Women and Men..Jummah prayer is compulsory for men though..Even if the ladies don't go they can hear the sermons through Radio at the comfort in their homes though..
    6.02 : We call Banana in Tamil as Valappalam..
    8.10 : We call it Gem biscuits..I am 18 but still I buy them rarely 😋..Even Adults can consume no issues at all..
    8:43 : Mix with Betel leaves..Drivers usually consume so that they can chew them for long time and prevents fall of sleep
    11:15 : Salt needs hot temp...We can see them in southern Sri Lanka as well like Hambanthota..Their is a process in it...I think it's not good to consume that salt without that process..
    13:24 : Interesting, didn't know it's prevailing even nowadays..
    14:33 : It's more like Mangoosteen..This is bit sweet and tasty though..That drink is yummy..
    16:00 In Western province like Colombo you can easily find supermarkets but in rural districts like these you can find them only in towns of those respective districts
    17:18 Have never seen a donkey in Colombo..😣
    Looking forward for more videos Ken 🇱🇰:)

    In the areas where rice is cultivated, people use the road to dry the rice. Carpet Road is getting heated very fast and its easy and fast to dry the rice. Based on the content of water in the final rice product, farmers can get a good price. Water content of the rice determine how long the rice can be stored. Drying rice on road is happening only in rural parts of the country and there is no or less traffic in these areas and people are helping each other and no complaints.

    Hello Ken... Drying Rice on the road is quite common and not only in Sri Lanka. I was in Myanmar (Burma) just before Covid and you could see this everywhere. No-one ever seems to get upset about it, it's just how things are done in Rural areas.

    Freshly harvested rice is routinely dried on paved roads throughout Asia. It's been a common practice for many years. Recently the drying of rice on roadways was outlawed in Thailand as an obstruction of traffic. Violators are subject to hefty fines and or imprisonment.

    Tomorrow (Sunday) is the start of the fasting month of Ramadhan here in Malaysia and Indonesia.
    Though Sri Lanka is not Muslim dominant, I wonder if you can get a glimpse on how the Sri Lankan Muslim prepare for it, and if they also have Ramadhan bazaar similar like in Malaysia.
    8:38 That is what we Malaysian called Buah Pinang. In English it's known as Areca nut.
    Some people would eat the seed inside with the betel leaf and some lime betel. Though in Malaysia mostly it's just the older generation would eat them.
    14:25 In Malay it's called Durian Belanda. In English it's called Soursop.

    No Chemicals are added to the Salterns in the process of making salt. The natural sea water is evaporated under the warm climates in shallow ponds to the point it is derived out of the saturated brine that helps natural salt to be harvested.

    Hi Ken.. I'm watching all your travel videos. They're really interesting. Good that you're exploring the northern parts of the island of Sri Lanka.. In the past the places you're now visiting were out of bounds to the public due to LTTE terrorism. Now there's a peaceful atmosphere to go anywhere in the North. Now that you're going to Jaffna via Mannar there are a few places worth having a visit in Mannar island. Check the Internet to locate them. Thereafter, you can go to Jaffna on the fully carpeted Mannar - Jaffna road. In Jaffna you can visit a lot of places of tourist attraction. Be sure to visit a small island called 'Delft' and also another island, 'Naagadeepa'. You can enjoy boat rides to both places.
    I'll be expecting your next travel episode...
