A true farmers market…
07.08.2008 – 07.08.2008 
Pottuvil Market is a true farmers market, you get what is fresh and in season. The market has a dirt floor and a bunch of stands with the local farmers goods. Usually the farmers have a specialty and your trip to the market means dealing with multiple people if you got a large list. You have the fruit guys, the veggie guys, the beef guys, the chicken guys, and of course the fish guys. The lime guy is pretty sweet, he gets a bag of ten limes ready for me as soon as he sees me coming (20 rupees for 10 limes and throws in an extra one). As I am walking through the market taking pictures, this one beef guy would not allow me to take a picture. I was told he was not proud of being a beef guy, but who really knows. So I found a different beef guy who was the uncle of my driver (everybody is related somehow here). Then you have the farmers that setup shop on the edge of the road by laying a tarp down. Afterwords, I found out this is an illegal place to setup shop and when I took a picture of the guy he starting yelling at me. Just another day in Sri Lanka.
The Fish Market Area – Currently it is the off season for the fishermen the winds are too strong, so we can’t get lobster and the prawns are on the smaller side.
The Fish Market Area – Currently it is the off season for the fishermen the winds are too strong, so we can’t get lobster and the prawns are on the smaller side.
A proud fisherman.
You never know what kind of fish you will find at the market.
The chili and spice guy.
The Potato Guy.
The beef guy.
The Veggie Guy.
The market alley.
The guy that was yelling at me for taking his picture.
The chicken guy and we buy our eggs from him too.

What is the surf like in August 2008?
Take a look!A?A?

Wars come in many shapes, sizes, guises and intensities. From the conventional wars of past World Wars to the more unconventional ones fought in South East Asia, South America, the Africas and Central Europe. Each of these had itA?a??a??s own unique plot line, players, editors, stunt men, comedians, fall guys and in the end, as with all wars, innocents. Wars are actually tragic comedies. Sri LankaA?a??a??s war is no exception.A?A?
What makes the war in Sri Lanka, is that it is a mixture of everythingA?a??A? a little bit of conventional war hereA?a??A?a little bit of guerilla tactics thereA?a??A? a bit of political wrangling there and a bit of International A?a??E?finger pokingA?a??a?? here, courtesy of a vengeful Diaspora, who will sleep better only after they witness the total annihilation of Sri Lanka and all those living south of the Omanthai checkpoint. To top it all we have had Three Ringed circus administrations for that could have put the best circus troupes in the world to shame. A?A?
For this writer, who spent all his childhood and most of his young adult life in the shadows of imminent violent death in the hands of an unknown enemy, this, as the saying goesA?a??A? was not funny. Not one bit. Seriously!
I still remember very well 1983, I still remember very well the dark times of 87-90, and I still remember like yesterday the despair, the hopelessness and utter human tragedy of the military debacles of the late 90s and 2000. The most profound sight for me during that time was a news clipping I saw while overseas of a SLA strike team being inserted in to the jungles A?a??a??somewhere in the northA?a??a??.
One soldier jumps off the chopper a tad too early and snaps his leg in two at the shinA?a??A?he hobbles with his broken foot hanging loosely inside his pants while being supported by his comrades and the western anchor (BBC) casually mentionedA?A? that this was another day in the war for A?a??E?INDEPENDENCEA?a??a??A?A? in Sri Lanka!!!!
Hold onA?a??A? we got our INDEPENDENCE in 1948A?a??A? Please, Western AnchorManA?a??A?read up before hand. We are not fighting for IndependenceA?a??A?. We are fighting to keep our Independence!! This single-handedly showed how blasA?A? the western media was to my countryA?a??a??s plight.
Cost of clarinex-d Now one must understand, I am child that grew watching people burning inside tyre pyres, being shot in the head with brains splattered all over and bodies floating bloated and maggot ridden in the rivers in Sri Lanka. For me, these sights do not make any impact as it would do any other national in any other A?a??E?peacefulA?a??a?? country. I can have my dinner while watching these in the evening news.
But for meA?a??A? I still wonder what happened to that soldier. I still wonder what happened to that team. Did they make it out? Did they survive? That image was that profound and heartbreaking. For me at leastA?a??A?
Which bring me to the reason why I want to put together these random thoughts. I never voted for this government. I voted for the other teamA?a??A? I too enjoyed the CFAA?a??A? while it lasted. It offered me the chance to travel to places unimaginable 5 years before. I saw my first eastern sunrise from the beaches of Arugam Bay in 2005! Imagine that! After spending your whole life watching the sun set at Galle Face and the sunrise over the tree tops to have actually witnessed the grand spectacle of the sun rising off the sea!! That was all what the CFA meant to meA?a??A?the damn sunrise in Arugam Bay!
Yet, I was oblivious like everyone else in this country to the deceptive veil that was the CFA. The CFA was a butt ugly bride hiding behind the best silk and satin white veil. This veil hid the killings, the A?a??E?violationsA?a??a??, the obscene degradation and indignity our Security forces were subjected due to this A?a??E?CFAA?a??a??, (I know because I had and still do have friends who have donned the noble Uniform and thatA?a??a??s what they said. A?a??E?Our hands were tiedA?a??a??).
The CFA was used for the execution of our LRRP teams, the MI Officers, the Agents, the men A?a??E?behindA?a??a?? the scenes, the list goes on. The CFA cost us a lot. Things that can never be replaced.A?A? This ugly bride cost us Lakshman Kadiragamar. This ugly woman took Kethesh Loganathan and with them she lost that veil and exposed her butt ugly face to people like me. That day Arugam Bay sunrises lost its magic for me forever.
The CFA was used to amass weaponry and consolidate defenses, plan offensives and insert sleepers all over Sri Lanka. But fortunately someone on our side during that time was not sleeping, our SLDF was being trained, weapons amassed, defenses planned and most importantly, offensives planned. Thank God that a soldier doesnA?a??a??t mix politics and military strategy. For him life is simpleA?a??A? be prepared and keep the gun oiled and free of dustA?a??A? just in case.
And Sri Lanka has been blessed with plenty of those kinds of soldiers.
Yet, peace was good. Many were happy, still many were making money, and all was all wellA?a??A?so when the time to vote suddenly came, we votedA?a??A?.We Sri Lankans do not want to change the status quo, no matter what. We love to keep the things the way they are. We have a A?a??E?if it ainA?a??a??t brokeA?a??a?? donA?a??a??t fix itA?a??a?? mentality. Nothing wrong with that, I think.A?A? So I voted for the A?a??E?otherA?a??a?? team. Soon after all hell broke loose. I donA?a??a??t want to dwell in all that has taken place till now. Enough has been written on all that by experts with all kinds of qualifications, experiences, wallets, agendas and brain capacities. I am not any one of them.
Just an ordinary Sri Lankan, who gets in a bus daily, hoping my name is not on a ball bearing inside a 4kg Semtex parcel innocently pretending to be an Odel bag. Or being blown to smithereens by the innocent looking chap riding a bike alongside the bus, who will ram and explode his bike on the next available Montero with tinted windows, taking down the bus, passers by and the said Montero with tinted windows taking 3 rich kids to their swimming lessons.
We all know now whatA?a??a??s going on. This last 2 years we learned who the real heroes are, the real cowards, who is on our side, who is on A?a??E?theirA?a??a?? side, the heroes, the survivors, the traitors and who the war profiteers are. Cheap cardura generic
We learned! We one day woke up collectively and said to ourselves, A?a??E?This is not how it will endA?a??a??. A?a??E?This not the way we will settle the scoreA?a??a??. A?a??E?We are not going to go quietly in to the nightA?a??a??.
We learned all that in the last 2 years, not bad for a country that for the last 20+ years was the squatting pan toilet with no flushing mechanism for the rest of the world.
And I am glad my team lost, even with my vote! Hell, my whole family voted and they still lost. I couldnA?a??a??t have been happier.A?A?
So here we are, at a crossroad. Probably the greatest cross road we have come across yet.A?A? And I think we are taking the right road towards our destiny. Whatever it may beA?a??A? I know we are heading the right way. I think my children will grow up and never see a maggot ridden human body rotting inside a half burnt tyre outside their school or a decapitated head of a suicide bomber showing her teeth in a comical yet tragic grimace!
That alone is worth something, I am sure!
How did town phone box end up on Sri Lankan beach?
Prilosec for sale
Rhiannon McDowall
30/ 7/2008
AS MAXONIANS fight to save the townA?a??a??s phone boxes, one iconic red kiosk has escaped the chop…by taking root in Sri Lanka!
PrestburyA?a??a??s Tim Heath, 44, was on holiday when he stumbled across a “Whirley Road” kiosk, sitting on the south east coast of the Asian island nation A?a??a?? more than 5,000 miles from home.
He said: “I thought it was unusual to see a red phone box over there, and when I looked inside it got even stranger A?a??a?? I could see it was from Macclesfield and I couldnA?a??a??t believe it!”
Looking Tardis-like and a tad incongruous on the sun-drenched beaches of Arugam Bay, the kioskA?a??a??s poster revealed it had been taken from Whirley Road, near Beaumont Avenue.
But if BT carry out their threat to remove 15 Silk Town kiosks, itA?a??a??s unlikely they will share such a sunny fate because this box was flown out by hotel owner Dr Fred Miller for a A?A?10 bet. And itA?a??a??s uncertain if he was the real winner as it cost him a cool A?A?15,000 in post and packaging to complete the 5,418 mile journey.
Dr Miller, originally from the Isle of Man, revealed he had embarked on a mission to ship two traditional boxes to Sri Lanka in 1987 after a drunken night at the East Coast resort.
He said: “I was working for the Ministry of Defence in Hong Kong where IA?a??a??d lived since 1977 and I had a hotel in Arugam Bay.
“For all those years we didnA?a??a??t have communication and one night we were on the beach, talking about how beautiful it was, and how nice it would be to call home.
“So I said to my friends A?a??a?? I think we can organise that.”
Spurred on by the A?A?10 incentive, Fred then arranged for a military operation to fly the two phone boxes A?a??a?? one from Silk Town and another from Buxton bought at auction in Manchester for A?A?200 A?a??a?? over to Hong Kong and airlifted by helicopter to the hotel.
He said: “It was a stupid bet and we were drunk.
“But we treated it as an army exercise and told people it was a very important delivery in order to have it delivered A?a??a?? I had to pay off a lot of people to get it here.”
The telephone boxes arrived at Siam View hotel in Arugam bay within ten days of making the decision.
Fred said: “It arrived within ten days then we put our own sophisticated telephone system in and called home.”
And the Macclesfield kiosk has proven it is made of stern stuff as it survived the devastating Tsunami of 2004.
Fred said: “The Stockport box was destroyed in the Tsunami but your Macclesfield one survived! The water was about 35ft above it at one point and it got a bit damaged, but weA?a??a??ve repaired it now.”

Sri Lanka’s Hikkaduwa beach fest targets young travelers
July 26, 2008 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s Hikkaduwa Beach Festival which is kicking off on July 30, will attract more young tourists to the island, and is positioned to become the South Asian equivalent of the Rio carnival, officials said.
“Looking at other markets, we find entertainment coupled with local culture as the key reason for people to go to these destinations,” says Mudadeniya.
“So the Hikkaduwa beach festival is one step in a long journey to get youth market back to Sri Lanka.”
Flashpackers
Officials say there is a booming global youth market of 20 to 30 year-olds and India and China is also emerging in to the field, with growing economic affluence. But Sri Lanka has been losing out so far.
“There was idea that youth market not lucrative, they don’t spend,” says Mudadeniya.
“But now we call them flashpackers. They like to flash their money – to spend.
Its an emerging market, especially Indian who have high disposable income. We have lost this market. “”Sri Lanka has rarely catered to the needs of this age group with little or nothing happening in the way of entertainment,” says Mudadeniya.
Officials say at a time when high fuel prices are making long-haul flights expensive, attracting visitors from short haul destinations makes better economic sense.
The country’s prime attractions A?a??a?? at least the actively promoted ones – are its archeological sites and cultural pageants.
The cultural pageants are strictly religious and allow no revelry among guests and onlookers unlike in some other countries.
Sri Lanka is also famous for its beaches, but with the conflict, the more beautiful ones, such as Nilaweli and Arugam bay in the east, have become no go zones due to an ongoing conflict.
Already Geared
This leaves the southern coast with Hikkaduwa being one of the key spots.
Chairman of Sri Lanka Tourism Renton de Alwis says Hikkaduwa peaked in the 1960’s. The 1960s was a time of change when post-second World War baby boomers revolutionized the culture of the western world.
The beach festival however hopes to re-engineer Hikkaduwa’s image.
“Through events like this, Hikkaduwa can get rejuvenated and people will again begin to look back at Hikkaduwa,” says de Alwis.
“We believe that Hikkaduwa will need a re-engineering of a sort, as a destination.
“This year we are looking at the festival as a take-off. More importantly Hikkaduwa will be getting a flavor as the carnival in Rio.”
Hikkaduwa is already geared for the youth market, with local revelers already going there from the capital on weekends in addition to a steady stream of foreign visitors.
Festival Build
A beach carnival last year had attracted mostly Sri Lankan youth. Foreign visitors had made up about 20 percent of the total.
This year the Tourist promotion office hopes to double foreign visitors to 40 percent.
Mudadeniya says most places in Hikkaduwa are already full. Hotels from Galle to Bentota up and down the coast are also expected to fill up, during a usually dull-period in a country where hotels fill up only during the European winter season.
The festival may generate about 16,000 room nights in all.
The tourist promotion office has launched a website, www.srilanka.travel/hikkaduwa for visitors to get more information.
Artistes and DJ’s from India, United States, Europe and UK will join popular Sri Lankan performers, giving the beach festival giving a mix of cultures across continents.
Bikram Jith Singh, a renowned flutist from India, Glamslam girls from UK, and international DJ’s such as Micheal Parsberg of Denmark and Lisa Littlewood of Scotland will be in action in Hikkaduwa next week.

Dear Friend,
A?A?
We hope that you received ourA?A?eNewsletterA?A?that was sent out in the first week of July and that you enjoyed reading it. If you did not receive it you can view it at www.slwcs.org/eNewsletter.
This eNewsletter isA?A?an urgent appeal requesting yourA?A?support to helpA?A?conserveA?A?aA?A?critically endangered population ofA?A?elephants.A?A?A?A? TheirA?A?habitat is being destroyed due to a large hydro power andA?A?irrigation development project in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka.A?A? The largest concentration of Sri Lankan elephants are found in this province.
The Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society has beenA?A?requested by the Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC)A?A?and the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka (MASL)A?A?to develop solutions and strategies to address land use, livelihoods, human-elephant conflicts and elephant conservation issues that will ariseA?A?due to the Morgahakanda and Kaluganga Development Projects of the Mahaweli Development Program.
We have been conductingA?A?field work withA?A?the support of foreign and local volunteers, including groups of students from the Peradeniya University.A?A? The information that isA?A?been gathered by the SLWCS willA?A?contributeA?A?tremendously to the ongoing discussions to develop solutions to address theA?A?land use,A?A?livelihood and environmental issuesA?A?especially human elephant conflicts (HEC)A?A?that will arise due to these two projects.A?A? The results ofA?A?the field surveysA?A?that we have conductedA?A?up to nowA?A?are summarized below. As both development projects are ongoing we need to speed up the information gathering process by running multiple survey teams in thisA?A?vast area so that we can develop solutions that can be appliedA?A?immediately.
Several surveys were conducted to gather data on socio economic status, elephant populations, distributionA?A?and habitatsA?A?giving special attention to the increase inA?A?HEC that will occur in the development as well as in the adjacent areas.A?A? The study gave priority to HEC because the success of the overall development project highly depends on mitigating HEC successfully.A?A? We already observe a major hindrance to the successful mitigation of HEC due to the fact that the development and resettlement sites have been pre-selected by the MASL before this study.A?A? Therefore theA?A?data from ourA?A?field studies will help the MASL to select alternative sites to relocate some of the developmentA?A?programs andA?A?resettlements.
A?A?
The field studies consistsA?A?ofA?A?socio economic and elephant surveys to collect baseline data.A?A? The elephant surveysA?A?were initiated at the beginning of the dry season and covered the total area of the Kaluganga Development Scheme.
The objectives of the surveys were to:
- Estimate the elephant populations in the area.
- IdentifyA?A?elephant ranging areas.
- Assessment of habitats and habitat suitability.A?A?
- IdentifyA?A?existing elephant corridors within the impact zone
- Identify suitable areas for alternate corridors.
- IdentifyA?A?suitable resettlement sites.
- Identify areas to apply HEC mitigation techniques. A?A?
A?A?
To achieve these objectives we conducted seven trail transects surveys in May 2008.A?A? The surveys will be repeated over two seasons to gather more information.A?A? The data that was gathered from our field research so far has provided us with theA?A?following preliminary findings:
- The elephant population in the area increases during the dry season and as a result HEC increases too.
- The increase in elephant numbers during the dry season is associated toA?A?the availability of perennial water sources in the area.
- The type and quality of habitats play a crucial role.
- The quality of the habitat determines elephant abundance in an area.
- There are two existing corridors that go through the project impact area and the proximate areas.
- According to the MASL the proposed resettlement areas are supposed to be ideal elephant habitat.A?A? TheyA?A?claim that a large number of herds use the area as a feeding ground during the dry season.A?A? InvestigatingA?A?the MASL observations will be a part of the future field research efforts.
- There are some suitable habitats that can be integrated to establish Managed Elephant Reserves (MERs) and Elephant Conservation Areas (ECAs).A?A? Once we have identified the most suitable habitats to establish corridors then it is possible to carry out habitat enrichment to link habitat fragments to form corridors.
A?A?
The population estimates will be completed only after the seasonal surveys are completed, and then we will use both past and present data for populationA?A?analysis and density estimates.A?A? We hope to use our past and present data to provide solutions based on advanced GIS modeling.A?A? These solutions will include practicalA?A?solutions that can be applied preemptively to mitigate HEC in the project and adjacent areas.
Human Elephant Conflict in the Area
Human Elephant conflict has begun to increase since recently in the Grama Niladhari Divisions (GNDsA?A?are village level administrative divisions)A?A?that were surveyed.A?A? Of the total number of village householdsA?A?that were interviewed, 82% of the families have experienced elephant raids.A?A? Ninety five percent were crop damages, 3% were house damages and 2% were human casualties. According to information that had been gathered from 2005-2007,A?A?rice and banana are the most raided crops.A?A? Each villager annually loses Rs.12,240 (~US$120)A?A?due to HEC.A?A? This is a substantial amount to lose considering an averageA?A?villager’s total annual income is ~$300.A?A?A?A?Two elephants had been killed in the area, one in 2002 at Katumanaoya and the other in 2006 in Rambukoluwa-Sawanpitiya. Both areas are nearby to Kaluganga.A?A? According to the villagers, elephant raids are seasonal and they are most intense from the months of May through October which is the dry season.A?A? The following areas were identified by villagers as places where elephant gather in large numbers.
Name of locality andA?A?nearest GND
- Madugaslanda forest, Rambukoluwa
- Hobarakada, Mannakatiya Gangahenwala
- Moragahaulpatha, Karandamulla
- Athkimbulawala forest, AkarahadiyaA?A?
- Ambanmulla, Balagollayaya Minirankatiya
- Galwala, Katumanna Halminiyaity
- Kiulpotha, Gonawala
- Makulmada, Pallegama
- Galgedawala, Dagavilla Madumana
- Hamagahaulpatha, Kotakumbura Ranamuragama
We hope to survey all of these placesA?A?to gather information on elephant populations and available habitats in these areas.
A?A?
ISSUES and FUTURE PLANS
The current field work was conducted by the Society at its own expense.A?A? Therefore we have had to limit the scale of ourA?A?field research efforts.A?A? We will continue with the research through October 2008.A?A? Once we have completed the surveys we will organizeA?A?a meeting atA?A?Dambulla or BakamunaA?A?bringing together the Department of Wildlife Conservation, Mahaweli Authority,A?A?Forest Department and other line agencies to discuss HEC mitigation and elephant conservation efforts in detail.A?A? Both divisional level and HQ level personnel of all the line agencies willA?A?be present at this meeting.
URGENT REQUEST
We need funds urgentlyA?A?to continue with theA?A?surveys.A?A? Based onA?A?the available fundsA?A?we will run multiple teams concurrently.
From August-October 2008 we need to conductA?A?9 Field Trips of 7-10 days each.A?A? Each field tripA?A?costsA?A?about $1300.A?A?A?A?The costsA?A?includes salaries, transport, accommodation/food,A?A?equipment, GIS expertise,A?A?analyzingA?A?data and writing reports.A?A? While the total cost to conductA?A?all the surveysA?A?isA?A?US$12,000, even small contributions will help us to continue with our field surveys and conservation efforts.A?A? We also have to conduct at least 5 stakeholder meetings at both the localA?A?and regional/national level to promoteA?A?sustainableA?A?solutionsA?A?for the MASL, DWC and FD toA?A?implement.
Visit www.slwcs.org/projects/mg&kg or email info@slwcs.org for details.

Contrary to government claims the eastern province continues to remain unsafe and security threats are looming at large with LTTE armed cadres present at many places, said Puttlam District UNP parliamentarian Palitha Ranga Bandara at a media conference this morning at the opposition leaderA?a??a??s official residence in Colombo.
Since the Eastern PC elections , 22 police personnel were killed and 19 were seriously wounded in attacks by unidentified gunmen, the parliamentarian said. Quoting Senior DIG Mahinda BalasooriyaA?a??a??s report on the eastern security situation, he said that police personnel are absolutely unsafe in the eastern province facing threats of attacks which has resulted in discontinuation of night patrolling.According to the report, for any emergency, fully armed personnel in minimum two vehicles have undertake outdoor visits. They are also required to take walkie-talkie and other communication equipments for any emergency.

When President Mahindra Rajapakse went to declare open the Arugam Bay Bridge, the helicopter in which his entourage travelled came under attack from and the weapons used were a T-56 riflees which means that the LTTE cadres were present at close vicinity, Ranga Bandara said. The Kanjikkudicharu LTTE camp is still in existence and not LTTE camps have been evacuated, he said.

I just returned from Arugam Bay, and although I went there for entirely selfish purposes, I could not help but be reminded of the stark contrast between their lives there and our lives here and how easy it is sometimes to forget that such a difference exists. Especially for us.Travelling with those that may never have travelled to that part of Sri Lanka before, I was made aware of how ignorant people can become of what lies just outside their door. Do people not know, or do they choose to ignore? Living in Colombo, it is very easy to become like frogs in a well. But I was shocked at how shocked they were by the people in Pottuvil. Sure they stared at us. Sure they stole from us. They tried to cause trouble and ripped us off at any given opportunity. They behaved as though they didnA?a??a??t want us there. But is their behaviour really so difficult to understand? WouldnA?a??a??t you stare if you lived in a situation where electricity was a fickle luxury that could disappear at any moment, and a bunch of people turned up in a tourist coach, wore bikinis and danced to weird music for two days straight? WouldnA?a??a??t you be angry and bitter if you had a hard life, and some people turned up in your village, and had a party?
Arugam Bay Baclofen overdose how much Buy diabecon usa is not Hikkaduwa. It is still very much a village. And it is for this very reason that it is so great for us; because it is so pristine and untouched, and not commercialized like Hikkaduwa. But for many it is just a place called home.
It is this ignorance that I fear will be the downfall of Sri Lanka. This refusal of the educated and the elite to understand the lifestyle of the average Sri Lankan. To see that this life we live in Colombo is very, very different from the life of other Sri Lankans, and that we make up only a tiny minority.
Sometimes I am very, very afraid of how little we know, and how much we can so easily forget.

Would the Real Jo-Anne Liburd Stand Up?
How much is cymbalta
Cows rule. On Wednesday morning, I reached the big roundabout that is the centre of Boralesgamuwa . ItA?a??a??s just steps from my office and the normally chaotic traffic was even slightly more so. Why? A cow had decided to sit itself down in the middle of the lanes. ThereA?a??a??s a nice big patch of grass in the middle of the roundabout but no, the cow decided that actual street was better. Think of a cow in the middle of the Yonge-Dundas intersection and you get the idea. It wasnA?a??a??t even the least bit disturbed by the many big vehicles that honked and tried to inch around it, trying to coax it up without hitting it. Then, that afternoon, as I left work, traffic was equally snarled. A parade of cows was making its way down the main road. Then, just as I stepped outside, one of the bulls leapt up and mounted the cow in front of it and, as if Marvin Gay or Barry White had just been turned on a loudspeaker, started to hump her. I couldnA?a??a??t stop laughing. It seemed so awesome that ColomboA?a??a??s ridiculously insane traffic would be paralyzed by bovine fornication. Love it.
That afternoon, my friend Lianne emailed me. SheA?a??a??d googled me and found WarrenA?a??a??s video. I was surprised by this because I didnA?a??a??t think my last name had been tagged to the video, so I decided to google myself and see what else IA?a??a??d find.
I discovered that there is a link to my blog (and JessicaA?a??a??s) on a travel website about Arugam Bay! Arugam Bay is Sri LankaA?a??a??s foremost surfing beach, and itA?a??a??s an area that I desperately want to visit but havenA?a??a??t been able to because itA?a??a??s in the conflict-plagued east. I also made another discovery. I admit, this isnA?a??a??t the first time IA?a??a??ve googled myself so I know that thereA?a??a??s another black girl named Joanne Liburd out there (no dash, small A). She seems to be athletic and her sports scores are mingled with mine in the google listings. From the pictures she looks a bit like me and someone who doesnA?a??a??t know me well might think weA?a??a??re one person. Well, it turns out that she works at PricewaterhouseCoopers, MY FORMER EMPLOYER. This is getting a bit too weird. I need to get in touch with this girl and tell her to stop living my life.
Jessica has returned from the Kataragama Perahera. Check out her pictures on her blog, Expat with Elephants. A link to the site is on the right.
Yesterday was another Poya holiday A?a??a?? Esala Poya. IA?a??a??m not sure of the significance of this one but thereA?a??a??s the big annual perahera in Kataragama and also one in Kandy, which is located in the middle of the country and used to be the capital of Sri Lanka many moons ago. In Colombo, however, it was pretty dead. So Jesse and I decided to try out a badminton facility near his place. It was empty when we arrived and we had a really fun hour-long game, although I swung and missed at the shuttlecock more times that IA?a??a??d care to acknowledge. The facility was really hot. When we were done, the idea of leaving without showering was out of the question. So I showered A?a??a?? one of the rare times I didnA?a??a??t mind the cold showers here. But when I was done, I realized that a) I had no towel with me; and b) my clothes were in the other room. I grabbed my shorts and tried to dab myself dry. These shorts are the ones that leach blue dye so I was slightly blue as I made my way into the other room. As I dashed to grab my clothes I noticed that the open door to the change area put me in clear view of the family A?a??a?? mom, dad and 12 year old boy A?a??a?? that was now playing on our court. I pivoted, grabbed the clothes and dashed back to the shower area. IA?a??a??m choosing to believe that none of them saw my black (and blue) butt streaking through their peripheral vision.
In the evening at MikeA?a??a??s, as I was lying in bed I could hear this yowling that sounded like a raccoon or angry cat. I couldnA?a??a??t tell if it was in the house or outside. I listened but the sound wouldnA?a??a??t happen. Then it would happen out of the blue again. I determined that it didnA?a??a??t sound like our cat, which has a much smaller voice. This morning, when I opened the door to the bedroom, our cat came in and she looked scared. That, of course, made me a little scared. When I went downstairs, sure enough, there was a big black cat in the dining room. I have no clue how it got in the house A?a??a?? perhaps when the housecleaner was in during the day. Anyway, she was not leaving, no matter how much stomping and A?a??A?OUT!A?a??A? yelling I did. In the process, however, I manage to scare and confuse our own cat. There was a lot of A?a??A?OUT!! No, no, not you, sweetieA?a??A?. OUT! No, no, itA?a??a??s okay, I mean that oneA?a??A? OUT!!A?a??A?
I didnA?a??a??t want to get too close because itA?a??a??s yowls in the night sounded ferocious and it could have been rabid. Finally, I opened the front door and went into the kitchen which would allow the new cat to head straight out the door without passing me. When I came out of the kitchen she was gone. I just hope she wasnA?a??a??t gone upstairsA?a??A?

The Bay has seen the best, by far, Party this weekend!
A few hundred came all the way from Colombo andA?A? some locals also purchased a 1,000Rs./ gate ticket.
The DJ, sound and crowd was good – the setting and nature perfect.
Not everyone has recovered so far.
Below just one glimpse from the Rock the Point Party.

hi,
we are once again going to How much does clozaril cost Arugam Bay with yet another group of fun loving people. and it looks like it is going to be the weekend of the year in Arugam Bay.
the weather is good, the surf is definitely up, the biggest beach party in Sri Lanka this year is sold out and it definitely looks like its going to rock. goofyfoot holidays is going to be there and we hope that so will you.
for the first time ever in Sri Lanka you will see brand new surfboards (shortboards & funboards) making their way in the beautiful A-bay. anyone can have one. so come find us there and see what you can get. weA?a??a??ve also got real bodyboards that any pro would love to ride.
