    Sri Lanka looks to be the best amongst South Asian countries.
    Until I saw this video I was under the impression that it was a run down country with broken infrastructure and poverty like some African countries especially after reading the news in recent years of violence and civil unrest due to fuel crisis but your video has just changed my perception😊. I feel like moving from Coventry to Colombo? ❤
    Well done people of Sri Lanka. And thanks E & A for bringing such a beautiful country to worlds horizon. You should be awarded honorary SL citizenship 🎉.

    Kitul one melts if kept outside. A piece of kitul jaggary the size of the one you bought costs around 800-1200 rupees if you bought it directly from a producer in the hill country of Sri Lanka. It will be more expensive in other places, like Colombo, etc. 100% Kithul Jaggary or 100% Kithul Tricle are expensive delicacies, and it is very hard to find 100% pure Kithul Tricle or Jaggary.
    btw, people mix a little bit of sugar with Kithul Jaggary to prevent metling if kept outside, those once only with little bit of sugar also very expensive.
    In most cases, you will find less than 30% kitul mix with coconut tricle or sugar. Otherwise, people can't afford it. Even a touch of real kitul will make things more expensive.

    Hi my friends..... Hope both of you are good. Wanted to say, I really like this episode. I called it 'Durian hunting' hahaha... You must really craving for Durian. Hahaha. Finally you got one even not very fresh Durian (should you go back to Thailand or Malaysia for good Durian? Why not) ... Btw the lesson that everyone should learn from this video is don't or 'never give up' in life. We maybe having struggled in life journey but with patients and 'take the pains', end of the day we will receive happiness, rewards.. Be safe my friends. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
