    Thank you for taking us to the border, it feels like the end of the world,
    It's a pity that it's deserted, and construction has not continued!
    謝謝你帶我們去邊界,感覺就像世界的盡頭,
    很可惜,那裏都荒廢了,沒有繼續建設下去!

    I am happy that you guys 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. Yet there are very beautiful areas and beaches to see. 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 I hope. So Tourists can enjoy peaceful days 👍

    Very interesting trip to Jaffna, where you met a fan of Italian football team, then you reached the border between Mannar island belonging to Sri Lanka and an Indian island, the beach where the fishermen were drying fishes and finally the car was stopped for a while at the police roadblock before leaving the island. At last, you reached your hotel room in Jaffna safe and sound. Looking forward to your next video on Jaffna.

    Hey Ken , we are very sad about our beautiful country Because corrupt government has destroyed our country. Our nation are starving and dying. Can you see all the protesting all over the Srilanka because people are suffering no food , no medicine, no electricity, no fuel etc. Sri Lankan lost our country and everything. Corrupt politicians have sold our country to China. We have a big crisis in srilanka so this is not fun time for the Sri Lankan nation we all are starving 😢 and standing all together to protect our country.

    There are comfortable Ferry services from Jaffna ( Kankesenthurai) and also airport from Jaffna where one can fly to India, Colombo and other places. There is no need to travel to Colombo to get to India. Colombo is expensive, noisy, not so clean. On top of it there are many tourist scammers there. We need to develop the other parts of Sri Lanka and give opportunity to the rural people.

    When Britishers left Indian Sub continent, they made so many bad things for this region.
    Pashtuns are living in Afghanistan & Pakistan. Britisher kept them in 2 countries. Tamils are living in India & Srilanka, they were kept them same way.
    Bengali & Punjabi were divided on their own mutual acceptance.
    Pashtun & Tamil are still fighting for more rights not separate country.
    However, Sinhalese behavior has turned 360 degree after witnessing Srilanka

Very sad that this happened when I was actually looking forward to your next video from Jaffna, nevermind we can watch your exploration of Northern Sri Lanka and other parts of Sri Lanka that you have not yet visit in your next trip to Sri Lanka in future when the political situation is back to normal. Stay safe.
