Javanese banjar celebes princes and nobles are exiled by the dutch in late 18th century in jaffna. Maybe you can speak malays near wekanda mosque and malays regiment mosque in jaffna 👍
Interesting places at northern SL that I didnt get to see from other youtubers who currently in SL. So many things can be learned from you during your journey in this country.
Oh gosh, I'm blown away by this super great vlog, very informative, detailed and amazing content about this Northernmost point of Sri Lanka. I truly enjoy and gain so much knowledge. A huge thanks for your effort, Ken and also thank you very much, Hachara and Mafas for being such excellent guides. Kudos to all three 💪🙌
Great Ken..you ventured into a territory where most other vlogers(except Davud) dare to go.Still you are the first to reach the northmost point in SL the Pedro Point.Proud of you.
At 12.05 the dried fish is known as Tivoli. Watching these videos of North bring back memories, when I lived there for 5 years during the Civil War. One of my favorite places in sri Lanka
Thank you for all these information. Lots to learn even for us a locals. On top of everything thank you so much for still hanging with us and sharing the informative videos to the entire world!!!
Manalkadu is one of the most interesting and breathtaking places I have been in SL. It is nice to see that you are explorring the lesser traveled parts of SL Ken. Enjoy!!
Good afternoon Mein Freund from Simmo and Julia in 🏴 We're having a lovely afternoon catching up with our vlogger friend's videos. What a brilliant trip you had. Your friends and so friendly and interesting. The crab did look like a lot of work but you seemed to enjoy it. I'd have gone for non spicy everytime but I'm sure Julia could handle a few spices Stay safe and well Ken. I sense you have a homeward adventure coming soon? Best wishes 🙏🏴🏴🇱🇰
Hi Ken, Lovely to see you here still with us and continue your tour. Thank you very much for your lovely video and it gives some relaxing in this crisis period.
Portugese occupied most of the coastal areas of Sri Lanka during the period from 1505 to Early 1658. In 1658 the Dutch (from Holand / Nederland) started to control these areas until 1796 when British East India Company defeated the Dutch and started to establish their rule in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). In 1948, the year after India gained Independance, Ceylon got independance. Point Pedro could be the name given by Portugese to the city. In Tamil, it is called Paruthi Thurai (பருத்தித்துறை) meaning Port of Cotton.
Portuguese, Dutch n British, they r d same people that colonialised Malaysia, more or less circa same centuries. D only difference is before Malaysia gained independence from British in 1957, Malaysia was invaded by d Japanese, n after independence, Malaysia still had to faced with d Malaya communist party.
@@Yasin_Affandi Thanks for sharing the info. I thing Vasco da gama, from Portugal, was the pioneer who was successful in getting to Asia from Europe. Then Dutch and British follwed the Portugese; I thing Spanish also captured and ruled the Phillipines.
@@Sivakumaran61 Thanks also for sharing d history of your country. Singapore, formerly Temasek, was a part of Malaya, now Malaysia, had d same history with Malaysia n Indonesia was also colonialised by d Dutch. 🙂
And by d way, just to let u know, there is a Malaysian by d name of Ananda Krishnan who was originated from Sri Lanka. He is a billionaire n was d richest man in Malaysia in d 1990s. Currently, he is still a billionaire, if I'm not mistaken, value of around USD10 billions, but he is d second richest in Malaysia. 🙂
I came across a book which mentioned that the British actually won by underhand means.It seems that the dutch used mercenaries under a Swiss Count.The British paid more to the mercenaries to turn against the Dutch.
Literally, I also don't know about the "Sand Forest" is in the Northern Jaffna.. It's quite interesting to hear and it's very beautiful! Nice vlog again Ken💖💖 Stay safe and safe journey!🇱🇰
I remember when I was living in Sri Lanka a while back, the bread tuk-tuks ("Choon-pan") would drive past my house every morning, and we'd buy some buns and sweet bread for breakfast. You could tell when the tuk-tuks drove by because they played Für Elise on the speakers! (I don't know why they chose this music in particular, but it's pretty iconic I guess lol)
Tourists need to focus more on this region which offers a totally different package. You're so lucky to be driven by this lovely couple to gain so much insight.
Hi Ken 👋🏻 nice and relax vlog today exploring the furthest north of SL accompanied by lovely couple subscriber of yours 👍 really appreciate their time spent with you 👍🙏🏻 awesome lighthouse and beautiful view of the seaside 👍 the process of drying fish is exactly the same in east coast of Malaysia. I sometimes cook crab curry but very seldom buy because it's difficult to eat 😅 you know what I mean 🤣 wow Ken's treat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 really nice and generous of you 👍🥰🙏🏻
Hey Ken... I really love your videos and the way you interact with people. Do remember to stop by and eat some ice cream from the famous ice cream shop that is loved by all the tourists including the locals who visit Jaffna. This shop is called Rio ice cream. Jaffna ice cream is unique... It is sweet and also they add a lot of nuts and dried fruits. It is really famous...no kidding! There are so many review videos on youtube etc...I personally love their ice cream. And also try their unique Nelli juice, and faluda. Highly recommended...Enjoy your trip.. Love from Colombo!!
hi Ken, I really enjoy watching your videos, I thought you ll leave my beautiful country cos of current situation, thanks for staying with us, you are such a nice kind hearted traveler
Haha... Ken, it's wonderful to see you trying crab, the whole crab. Yeah, you need to work to get the sweet delicious meat. Crabs are very expensive and it's very thoughtful of you to take over the bill. 👍👍 Love that slogan : "Unity in diversity is the strength of Sri Lanka" ....Great words !!!
There was a landmine issue after the war but at far as I know pretty much all of it has been removed. You wud need to be one of the most unluckiest ppl to get caught to one now.
Land mines have been removed by UN after the war. I never heard of any incident of human or animals encountered with mines after they were cleared 10 years ago. So don’t worry Ken. Enjoy your trip.
on of my favoruit vloger.. your presenting style is very kind and lovely... and you have nice and friendly look.. god bles my friend.. and thanks for helping my country tourism industry
Another interesting exploration of Sri Lanka at the most northern point of Sri Lanka at Point Pedro. Very innovative of Sri Lankans to convert theTuk tuk into a mini bakery. Very interesting to see the drying of fishes along the beach for supply to Colombo and also the drying of tobacco leaves. The dessert like atmosphere is another interesting feature. Looks like you have completely overcome your phobia of eating seafood, maybe one day you will become a seafood lover. The curry crab looks yummy, but you have to work hard peeling off the shell to enjoy the crab meat.
Very Nice Mr.Kent - I am from Jaffna my Jaffna is very nice you show very nice video about Jaffna - war is end 2009 i don't know why still Army Checkup one the streets in Jaffna It makes the public uncomfortable
Hi Ken, thank you for sharing this video. It is nice, my native place is Jaffna. The hot crab is very good if you have cold, get rid of immediately. Anyway enjoy northern Sri Lanka. God bless 🙏🙂
Wow this was a nice experience for us, we are from colombo Sri Lanka and couldn’t go to Jaffna and this video inspire me to visit jaffna. I know that jaffna has their authentic dishes and food are delicious 😋.
The place name of Point Pedro is a corruption of the Portuguese "Ponta das Pedras" meaning "the rocky cape". The name of the town in Tamil is Paruthithurai, which literally mean "Cotton Harbour".
The Tamil name 'Paruththithurai' derived from being the harbour that exported enormous amounts of cotton. Paruththi - Cotton and Thuri - Habour. The name has been mentioned in the Sangam era literature itself. Sangam Era - c. 600 BCE - c. 300 CE.
In northern Thailand you would have scooterd past fields of tabacco before Mae Sai and maybe noticed tall brick structures that are the drying ovens they are quite common.
The Srilankan Muslim guides are such beautiful people and show the hospitality of all Srilankans. I will now visit this beautiful country and its people ❤
Laudable Ken, for having shown interest in the Northern area which part no other tourists have the slightest inclination to visit. But this area also has many things to offer like most other parts of Srilanka
@@thusharikariyawasam3427 I, personally donot know but i came to know thru Ken's one of the vlogs only..... Your interest is highly appreciated and sorry that I am not in a position to help
Nowadays in Sri Lanka, every foods would be more expensive everywhere than before! I like the crab curry very much.. It's so delicious.. It will be better delicious with spicy curry..😋
I am happy that you are focusing in these beautiful areas. If you look at Sri Lanka the North, North western and the Eastern provinces are neglected by the Government. These places are systematically deprived of development Yet there are very beautiful areas and beaches to see. If you look at SL where the Minorities live then you can see one thing for sure. That is all these areas are poorest in the country as they are under developed. Only private investors and Diasporas invest in these areas. Now the tourists from India and other western countries are getting interested because of people like you showing these parts of the country. Now there are very good potential that many tourists can come from India and other countries. These places are much cheaper than Colombo, and many other areas. There is also less tourist Scammers and less crime, Pollution I am sure. So Tourists can enjoy peaceful days. I used to live in SL many years ago but now I live in Europe for many years including Germany (Lorrach) in 1999. Your videos are bringing focus of these provinces and lets hope it will bring more tourists so that the marginalized people of SL can serve the tourists and earn a decent living without becoming Greedy.
Ich glaube Portugal hat mal sri lanka eingenommen, vlt heisst es deswegen st. Pedro ? / i think portugal has once occupied sri lanka, maybe the name pedro comes from this old time ?
Yes. Portugese occupied most of the coastal areas of Sri Lanka during the period from 1505 to Early 1658. In 1658 the Dutch (from Holand / Nederland) started to control these areas until 1796 when British East India Company defeated the Dutch and started to establish their rule in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). In 1948, the year after India gained Independance, Ceylon got independance.
When you were in Malaysia, did you ever see the "Roti Man" riding a motorcycle? There's a box on the back, and lots and lots and lots of bread, buns, candy, toys, etc. hanging off the box. They ride through the neighborhoods selling bread. Typically the rider is Tamil, usually from India. Sort of like mamak restaurants, where pretty much all of the workers are Tamils from India.
Javanese banjar celebes princes and nobles are exiled by the dutch in late 18th century in jaffna. Maybe you can speak malays near wekanda mosque and malays regiment mosque in jaffna 👍
Hi there Ken. Just for your info that Jetlag Warriors got robbed in Peru, where their hotel room got broken into recently. Anyway stay safe and healthy.
A small correction. Tamil is spoken all over Sri Lanka. But Tamil is spoken by almost everyone in North & most part of East. In the rest of the country, its a mixture of Tamil & Sinhala, but in the rest of the country Sinhala is spoken predominantly.
So sorry that you visited Sri Lanka at a time when that beautiful country is going through a terrible time. There are protests everywhere demanding gas, fuel and other essential items. Hope they don’t turn violent and the rulers find a solution to end power cuts By the way “suruttu” is made by rolling dried tobacco leaves and are called cigars in English.
Ken the sand area is actually used to shoot films in sri lanka for desert backgrounds....please visit nagadeepa and delf Island to see wild horses..you can use the ferry boats for a cheap bus price
I was lucky enough to go to an international school in Colombo where most of my friends were Tamils and Muslims. I wish all Sri Lankans would go to multi ethnic schools. It really opens your eyes to other cultures. I feel the difference between how i think about people from other ethnicities compared to the rest of my family who have gone only to Sinhala schools.
@@kumarkitusna7191 , some of us did.My parents were progressive and had Tamil friends growing up.We were very close when we lived overseas and one of my best friend friends in later life was Tamil.In my current role I sometimes come across Sri Lankans of Tamil origin and I still help them as I would any other Sri Lankan.
@@thusharikariyawasam3427 thank you. But racism is a root of these killings and misunderstandings, which planted by sinhala politicians 90 years ago and grown to a tall unbreakable mountain now. Only sinhala people can break this mountain. Not by us Tamils, we are tired of it and you can see this in north and East of Srilanka. Also even after the war ended in 2009, still people live under intimidation of Srilankan army. Infact people live under army government. Still you see Army driving motorbikes without number plates. If majority sinhala people don't identify all Crookes politicians now and build better Srilanka. Otherwise Srilanka will be a sinking ship. It's shame i can see sinhala people are looking for Prabaharan now, but he killed himself in 2009 in war zone. Sorry too late..
@@kumarkitusna7191 I hope for the sake of future generations that the two communities can come together and build a better country.It will come about with more travel and understanding of each others cultures.There is a saying that "the Devil is not as black as they say".Race politics have been long used as a tool to prey on peoples insecurities to come into power.Maybe it is time we get clever and stop falling for these gimmicks. Have a wonderful Easter.
Another fruitful adventure, learning and exploring new things along the way. be it in culture, history & geography.... And yeah, it's the first time seeing you eating a entire crab after all this while, and i personally like seafood especially crabs..... As always, stay safe, be vigilant, take care on the road.

very kind and nice couple who took their time to show you around. They showed Sri Lankan hospitality in full force.
Your videos are like a standard travel TV show, so great, keep up the good work！
你的影片有像完整的旅遊節目，很棒，請繼續努力！👍😃👏
The name 'Point pedro' has evolved from the Portugese word "Ponta das Pedras" which means "the rocky cape".
As well, Pedro is a very popular name to the people in the country of Portuguese language.. Petter and Pedro are the same name... Hello from Brazil
Yes correct it's from Portuguese era
Interesting places at northern SL that I didnt get to see from other youtubers who currently in SL. So many things can be learned from you during your journey in this country.
As a southerner, thank you for promoting north. I wish Jaffna will become a tourist hotspot like other destinations in the country.
should be
But there is nothing much to do or see
@@mimitora8291 there are many things to do and see but it isn't developed and without development it makes it inaccessible to ppl.
I like the north, as it's not so full with tourists. More raw sri lanka experience, which I enjoy 😊
@@KenAbroad be sure to visit Mullaitivu on the way. It was another war-torn coastal city in north rarely visited by local or foreign tourists.
Oh gosh, I'm blown away by this super great vlog, very informative, detailed and amazing content about this Northernmost point of Sri Lanka. I truly enjoy and gain so much knowledge.

Hi Ken .. love your videos … If you are in what was once a war zone please be careful of possible land mines buried in the sand or land !!

Land mines have been removed by UN after the war. I never heard of any incident of human or animals encountered with mines after they were cleared 10 years ago. So don’t worry Ken. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you again. It is so interesting and aother positive video clip. I hope that I can visit Jafna in near future.
Stay safe👍❤️🙏
Thanks for your contribution to Sri lanka tourism, you are really great man, enjoy well
Ponta das pedras, meaning rocky cape ,pourtugese , become [ point pedro ] 😀 good one again Ken 👍

I have been in Sri Lanka for 24 years now, since birthday. But I have not even visited north yet. Thanks for pointing out.
Very Nice Mr.Kent - I am from Jaffna
my Jaffna is very nice
you show very nice video about Jaffna
- war is end 2009
i don't know why still Army Checkup one the streets in Jaffna It makes the public uncomfortable
Great video !
Wow very nice video,Ken thank u very much

My home town. Yes very quiet after the war! Should try crab with pittu.
The place name of Point Pedro is a corruption of the Portuguese "Ponta das Pedras" meaning "the rocky cape". The name of the town in Tamil is Paruthithurai, which literally mean "Cotton Harbour".

Wow...... Beautiful vlog 👍👍
So peaceful in this Northern Part of Sri Lanka - Compare to the chaotic scene in the city - long queue for petrol and demonstrations against the Gov
Had this Jaffana crab curry in a restaurant in Wellawatha
Amazing ❤️
I love the North...pristine beauty
Very interesting vlog bro ...🇱🇰

@09:07 Surutu is a Sri Lankan cigar.
Ich glaube Portugal hat mal sri lanka eingenommen, vlt heisst es deswegen st. Pedro ? / i think portugal has once occupied sri lanka, maybe the name pedro comes from this old time ?
Yes. Portugese occupied most of the coastal areas of Sri Lanka during the period from 1505 to Early 1658. In 1658 the Dutch (from Holand / Nederland) started to control these areas until 1796 when British East India Company defeated the Dutch and started to establish their rule in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). In 1948, the year after India gained Independance, Ceylon got independance.
பருத்தி துறை meaning cotton harbour. Long ago cotton was exported from Point Pedro.
nice tuk2 bakery!!
The rural areas in Sri Lanka is like Thailand and Cambodia
Thailand and Cambodia two gems as well...🇱🇰❤
9:10 Curuttu mean Cigar. Enteresting enough is that in Malay, we called Cigar as Cerut.
When you were in Malaysia, did you ever see the "Roti Man" riding a motorcycle? There's a box on the back, and lots and lots and lots of bread, buns, candy, toys, etc. hanging off the box. They ride through the neighborhoods selling bread. Typically the rider is Tamil, usually from India. Sort of like mamak restaurants, where pretty much all of the workers are Tamils from India.
Javanese banjar celebes princes and nobles are exiled by the dutch in late 18th century in jaffna.
Maybe you can speak malays near wekanda mosque and malays regiment mosque in jaffna 👍
You should try food 'pittu' in jaffna. Normally it is vegetarian food. You can select curries to go along with it. 'saambaaru' curry is the tastiest.
Welcome my brother

That's interesting 😊
Hello👋 In 16th century protugeese( protugal) ruled in srilanka. Maybe they add the "pedro" name
I wish if we have a stronger bond with our Tamil community. The politics have distant us. I really wish if this country gets better soon
Most Sinhalese never open their mind, eyes and hearts. So politians kept us part successfully for theirs purpose. Now or never...
I was lucky enough to go to an international school in Colombo where most of my friends were Tamils and Muslims. I wish all Sri Lankans would go to multi ethnic schools. It really opens your eyes to other cultures. I feel the difference between how i think about people from other ethnicities compared to the rest of my family who have gone only to Sinhala schools.
@@kumarkitusna7191 , some of us did.My parents were progressive and had Tamil friends growing up.We were very close when we lived overseas and one of my best friend friends in later life was Tamil.In my current role I sometimes come across Sri Lankans of Tamil origin and I still help them as I would any other Sri Lankan.
@@thusharikariyawasam3427 thank you. But racism is a root of these killings and misunderstandings, which planted by sinhala politicians 90 years ago and grown to a tall unbreakable mountain now.
Only sinhala people can break this mountain. Not by us Tamils, we are tired of it and you can see this in north and East of Srilanka.
Also even after the war ended in 2009, still people live under intimidation of Srilankan army. Infact people live under army government. Still you see Army driving motorbikes without number plates.
If majority sinhala people don't identify all Crookes politicians now and build better Srilanka. Otherwise Srilanka will be a sinking ship.
It's shame i can see sinhala people are looking for Prabaharan now, but he killed himself in 2009 in war zone. Sorry too late..
@@kumarkitusna7191 I hope for the sake of future generations that the two communities can come together and build a better country.It will come about with more travel and understanding of each others cultures.There is a saying that "the Devil is not as black as they say".Race politics have been long used as a tool to prey on peoples insecurities to come into power.Maybe it is time we get clever and stop falling for these gimmicks. Have a wonderful Easter.
