Latvian AVRO in AbaY

Sunday, December 30, 2007

Sri Lanka rocks!

I’m still alive :) Internet, though, is not as cheap or fast as it should be, if you move away from the island’s west coast.Highlights from last weeks:
*Arugam Bay offseason-empty perfect beaches;
*Riding a motorcycle on South-East coast, earning a warning shot from a military check point as I didn’t pay enough respect to them and racing with a motorbikes’ army patrol (where on the last bike was an machinegun-guy in addition to a regular soldier)… surreal!
*Listening to tsunami and civil war’s stories from ex-tamil guerilla in Arugam Bay;
*Travelling 150 km in 6 hours and using 3 busses from east coast, Arugam Bay, to the Hill Country - Ella;
*Perfect chillout walks in Ella’s mountains;
*10 hours train ride from Ella to Colombo;
*witnessing series of roadblocks and heavily armed police/military checkpoints in Colombo downtown;
*Tourist-season-time Hikkaduwa on westcoast.

I’ll write longer about abovementioned things. When I have time :)

5 more days left on the island.

Namaste!

Siia veebipäevikusse kogun oma kogemused ja emotsioonid Anna ja minu GLEN projektist Nagpuris, Indias ning Indias reisimisest. Mõned postitused on eestikeelsed, mõned inglise keelsed. Soovitan tutvuda ka teiste blogidega ja lehekülgedega, millele olen allpool viidanud - võite leida nii mõndagi huvitavat.
Hüva lugemist! :) To this blog I’ll gather my experiences from Anna’s and mine GLEN project in Nagpur, India and from my travels in India. Some postings will be in Estonian, some in English. I advise you, dear reader, to look also at the blogs and webpages indicated below - you might get acquainted with some more wonders ;)
Enjoy! :)
