Day 5: The Last Day in Kandy, Sri Lanka

  It's the last day in Sri Lanka. I should have taken more pictures but I'm sorry I couldn't. But I'll upload the pictures I took in Sri Lanka. 스리랑카에서 마지막 날이다. 이런 저런 사진들은 더 많이 찍었어야 했는데 못 찍어서 아쉽다. 그래도 지금까지 스리랑카에서 찍었던 사진을 올리도록 하겠습니다.

Rice and Curry

 스리랑카 카레의 향신료 맛이 굉장히 강했다. 향신료에 익숙한 입맛을 가진 사람이 아니라면 먹을 때 조금 어려울 수 있을 것 같다. 가격은 3000원 정도였다.  The spices of Sri Lanka curry were very strong. If you're not a person who is familiar with spices, it could be a little difficult to eat. The price was around 3,000 won.

The Swimming Pool in Cinnamon Citadel Kandy

 I went to the swimming pool one more time and it was no doubt the best place during Sri Lanka trip. However, since it is not only located in Sri Lanka I regretted like why I came to Sri Lanka.

 수영장에 한 번 더 갔는데 가장 좋은 장소였다. 그렇지만 아쉬운 점이 있다면 이 곳은 스리랑카에만 있는 것이 아니고 어딜 가도 있으니까 스리랑카에 왜 왔을까 하는 후회를 하기도 했다.

Fried Rice and Vegetables.

 This fried rice seems to have been the most delicious. I had difficulty eating food with spices, but I think rice and water will never disappoint Koreans. I really do not remember the name of the restaurant. The price of food was about 3,000 won, but I had to give tips, so it was around 4,000 won.

 이 볶음밥은 정말 제일 맛있었던 것 같다.나는 향신료가 들어간 음식 먹기를 어려워 했는데 밥과 물은 한국인을 절대 실망시키지 않을 것이라고 생각한다. 정말 기억력이 안 좋은데 식당이름이 전혀 기억 안 난다.

The Hotel Garden

Certainly, the air in the garden is much fresherthan the city. I recommend comparing the air once.

 확실히 정원의 공기는 시내 보다 훨씬 신선하다. 한 번 공기를 비교해보기를 추천한다. 시내에서 마신 공기를 기억하고 정원에 와서 공기를 마시면 느낌이 다르다. 

Day 4: Keells in Kandy City Centre, Sri Lanka

Vegetable Prices

There was a TV screen where you could seethe price of fruits and vegetables at once.There was a paper price tag in Korea ratherthan this. The problem was that I knew the price, butthere was no picture, so it was also a problem to find out what was there.

과일과 채소의 가격을 한 번에 볼 수 있는 TV 스크린이 있었다. 한국에는 이런 것보다는 종이로 된 가격표가 있는데 조금 달랐다. 문제는 가격은 얼마인지 알아도 사진이 없으니까 어떤 것이 어디 있는지 찾는 것도 문제였다. 

Cheap Banana

Can you find that fruit in the mart is cleaner than fruit sold in the market? I never went to the market after coming to the mart once.

확실히 시장에서 파는 과일 보다는 깨끗한 것이 보이나요? 나는 마트에 한 번 오고 나서는 절대 시장으로  갔다. 

Cheap Watermelon

Cheap watermelons and bananas. In Korea, watermelons are almost 10usd. Why are Korean fruits so expensive? If you come to Sri Lanka, what you have to do is to buy fruit at the mart and eat(Don't buy in the market).

저렴한 수박과 바나나.한국에서는 수박이 거의 10usd10 usd이다. 한국의 과일들은 왜 이렇게 비싼가요? 과일을 많이 먹을 수 있어서 좋았다. 그런데 과일도 잘 보고 사야 할 것이 빨리 맛이 변하고 상한다.

English Tea

These cars are also sold by Keells. It's not cheap but you may be a good gift to give without burdens. I bought nearly 10 and distributed them to friends and family. There're also the street merchants who sell English Tea. I recommend you to buy nothing in the street whatever it is.

 차들도 Keells에서 판매되고 있다. 저렴하지는 않지만 부담 없이 친구들에게 줄 수 있는 선물이다. 나는 10개 가까이 사서 친구랑 가족들에게 나누어 주었다. 이런 English Tea도 길거리에서 파는 것이 있는데 절대   것을 추천한다

Day 3: Kandy City Centre Again

To be honest, I could not enjoy traveling in Sri Lanka because I was not interested in history or language. And I do not remember the particularly delicious Sri Lankan food. There is a national park and a national garden, and the entrance fee for foreigner to the place were almost 20 times more expensive than those of Sri Lankans.

스리랑카에 역사나 언어에 관심이 없는 나는 스리랑카 여행을 흥미로워 하지 못했다. 그렇다고 특별히 맛있는 스리랑카 음식이 기억이 나는 것도 아니다. 스리랑카에서  것은 딱히 없는  하다.국립 공원도 있고 국립 정원도 있는데 입장료가 외국인은 내국인에 20배 가까이 된다. 그래서 포기했다.

For me there were not many things to enjoy except for tasting each of Sri Lankan fruit because the fruit price in Korea is almost the most expensive in the world.

스리랑카는 과일을 제외하면 딱히 신기한게 없었다.왜냐하면 한국은 과일이 거의 세상에서 제일 비싸기 때문이다.

I ate coconut in Sri Lanka, but it was probably the first time except for the experience I ate in Jeju Island. Coconuts were not so expensive, I remember, but I did not eat them all and I do not want to eat again. Traveling in Asia was not so interesting because probably I am Asian. The tourists from Europe seemed enjoying their time, taking pictures here and there.

스리랑카에서 코코넛을 먹었는데 아마 제주도에서 먹었던 경험을 제외하면 처음이었을 것이다. 코코넛은 그렇게 비싸진 않았던 것으로 기억하는데 나는  먹지도 못했고 다시 먹고 싶지도 않다.

There was a mart called Keells, and I recommend buying something to eat hererather than the market because it is cleaner. And it is much better to buy at a safe price herebecause it is expensive in the market. If you buy fruit in the market, you may wonder ifthe market price is appropriate. Then, do not buy it, but just go to the mart and buy at the proper price.

Keells라는 마트가 있었는데 시장 보다는 이 곳에서 먹을 것을 사는 것을 추천한다.왜냐하면 더 깨끗하다. 그리고 시장에서 비싸게 살 바에 그냥 여기서 안전한 가격에 사는 것이 훨씬 낫다. 시장에서 과일을 사면 시세가 적절한 것인지 고민하게 될 때가 있다. 그럴 때는 사지 말고 그냥 마트에 가서 사는 것을 최고로 추천한다.

 

Day 2: Colombo, Sri Lanka to Kandy City Centre

Day 1:  Sri Lanka, Colombo International Airport

Airline meal

 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.

PickMe App Ride

 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.

SAMSUNG is everywhere

 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.
