Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre

Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre (2)

Day 3: Small Village in Kandy City, Sri Lanka

Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre (2)

The construction workers were working in front of the market. But what's interesting is that they were working on it without a fence. What I felt in Sri Lanka was that people have good eyesight and they wear a pair of flip flops every day. Korea should be more careful because it is a country where the personal principle is applied. Or maybe I'm the only one who's so sensitive about this.

There are many bags, but they are all fake. And it's dirty because there's a lot of dust on it. Of course because it's on display outside for 24 hours a day. Don't buy fakes. Buying fakes is a crime, and selling fakes is a crime too.

Stepping out of the authentic market and walking a little upward, you will see a shopping mall-like building. Bag, shoes, clothes, hats, chargers, etc. There was a lot of stuff, but there wasn't a price tag at all. You really need to be careful when you visit a store without a price tag. I could see a lot of people from the West. I heard that Westerners like to travel to Asia. Sri Lankan merchants know they have a lot of money and try to cheat.

Many Sri Lankan merchants spoke Korean, butI thought it was more foolish to buy things at a stupid price simply because they knew how to speak Korean. Frankly, there was no what I wanted to buy specially. I wanted to buy something that represents Sri Lanka at the proper price. But the merchants tried to sell me a T-shirt for $50 = 8,000 lkr, so I just decided not to buy it.

I kept going around the market to buy a phone charger, but there was no phone charger and there was a phone 'CHAGER' so I did not buy it. If you look like a foreigner and not a SriLankan, you need to be careful when look around. Many merchants will be talking to you to sell just because you are a foreigner.

Day1: Sri Lanka, Colombo International Airport

Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre

Since English is not my mother tongue,there may be many wrong parts in the article. If you find the wrong point, let me know via comment. Thank you. If there is anyone who wants me to write in Korean, please let me know. I am studying English while writing in English. So please understand.

Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre

Day 1:  Sri Lanka, Colombo International Airport

 I know I shoud've put this picture in the 'Day 1' post. The meat was delicious, but I thought I wantedmore rice. Korean Air was not bad.

 Don't use Uber but PickMe App! TukTuk is only available at PickMe. Plus, Uber in Sri Lanka is more expensive than PickMe. Have you ever been in a taxi for four hours? I called a PickMe as soon as I arrived at Colombo International Airport and headed to Kandy City. If you look at the fuel efficiency at the dashboard, it says its fuel efficiency is 31.7km/litre. How good car it is?!

 I had 7 hours long flight from Seoul to Colombo and arrived at the airport at around 4AM and 2 hours waiting for immigration. I was dang exhausted and I was kind of afraid of being kidnapped or getting robbed because I knew it takes 4 hours from the airport to Kandy City and I am very new to Sri Lanka and I don't understand Sri Lanka language at all (I doubted even where I was heading to). It costed about 5,000 rupees for 4 hours riding from Colombo Airport to Kandy City Centre.

 I was afraid that the taxi driver did not concentrate on driving and watched TV.

 But fortunately, I arrived safely at Kandy City. It took four hours and the price was about 5,000 rupees. When I arrived at KCC, there was something surrounded with big wall. It was an authentic market. 

 There is a bus, but there is no bus stop sign,and there is no line on the road, so you shouldbe really careful if you drive.There is nocrosswalk or traffic light, so when you cross the road, you should be careful.

It's the inside of the market.There are so many people. If you are not a Sri Lankan, merchants will tryto sell fruit to you at a ridiculous price. So if merchants say something, it is better to ignore them. Don't buy anything from them. 

 You can buy fruits at a store with a price tag,but avoid merchants who do not have a pricetag and continue to change prices. There were so many people, so I was worried about the hygienecondition.

 Look at his feet, the fish man and look at the hands of the fish man. I was worried about hygiene because he was not wearing gloves and shoes so I did not buy anything. I really didn't want to go to the hospital or be hospitalized because of stomachache duringmy trip.

 I didn't buy anything in the market.What you should be careful about is that there are a lot of people who want to cheat against foreigners.Itis best to be careful and ignore strangers whenthey talk. The reason I did not buy anything was that the price changed every time I asked the price, and I was worried about hygiene.

 So I decided to go to the mart and buy a sidedish that I could eat with rice. When you are abroad, you are at risk of fallingimmunity, so it is good to eat foods that can take care of your health no matter whatyou eat. And at least if you go to the mart and buy something, you are not worried about being fraudulent.

 All the inside advertisements at the mart were Samsung. I was so proud that I was a Korean. 

 There was a burger king at the Sri Lanka Mart,but it was too expensive. If the price of food exceeds 850 lkr, it can be said to be expensive. So I wanted to eat Burger King, but I did not eatit and ate other things.I honestly can not remember what I ate.

Day 1:  Sri Lanka, Colombo International Airport

Sri Lanka Foods / 스리랑카 여행 음식

  스리랑카에 처음 가 봤습니다. 그리고 쌀은 한국 쌀 하고 많이 달랐습니다. 스리랑카 쌀은 수분이 없고 얇고 긴 쌀이었습니다. 그래서 항상 밥을 많이 주는데 가격은 한국하고 비교했을 때 엄청 저렴하거나 그러진 않았습니다. 한국에서도 밥버거 같은거 2,000원 ~ 4,000원 정도 하는데 이 곳 한끼 밥 그릇 bowl로 나오는 볶음밥 식사는 한화로 3,500원 ~ 5,000원 했습니다. 엄청 저렴하지도 않더라고요. I had been to Sri Lanka last winter and its rice was 200% different from Korean rice. Sri Lankan Rice is dried, skinny and long while Korean one is short and full. Since Sri Lanka's 'Gross Domestic Product' is lower than South Korea, I thought everything is much cheaper than Korea but it was not that cheap as much as I expected. The food in the picture costs about 3,500 won in Korea Currency. I don't remember its price in Lupee haha. Anyways it tasted not bad and apparently it is very common food in Sri Lanka.

"Avocado sucks."

  처음으로 아보카도 주스를 마셔봤습니다. 한국에서는 사실 과카몰리 Guacomole, 아보카도가 흔하지 않잖아요. 그래서 그냥 한 번 마셔보자 해서 마셨는데 건강해지는 맛이었으나 혀가 즐기는 맛은 없었습니다. I had a cup of Avocado drink for the first time. I didn't expect much from this small drink because it costed only 1,700 won much. However in Korea, Guacamole, Avocado and such tropical fruits (or vegetables?) are not common so that was why I just tried it! It tasted very healthy but no rejoice for my tongue.

  KOICA와 함께하는 월드프렌즈 청년중기봉사단 스리랑카 최종평가회를 어느 호텔에서 가졌다! 나는 이곳에서 잠시 머무르기만 했고 KOICA 단원들과는 아무런 연관이 없었다.
