Very Clean, hardworking, know what they are doing, safe, quiet, very generous friendly , a bit strict ..new house and furnitures
Just need to remind guests to not stay up late and know different time zones, walls quite thin, epecially room with no window have to rely on that window or also opening the door.
It is like a home
Christian family
They wash clothes for everyone, using her washing machine and clean evey two days, change sheets every 4 days.
Tap water in sri lanka can be boiled using water heater , drinkable. But taste a bit different , because i have been living amongst nature mountains less people strict country.
Must wait around 10-30 minutes sometimes to book tuktuk which is safer and quite cheap..
Supermarkets, markets , restaurants walking about 20-40 minutes. 2 minutes from nearest self-owned minimart, everyday in morning and evening bread tuktuk cost around 100rupees each, vegetarian and non vegetarian.
normally the minimart before the temple white wall, will be the final location of the uber, pickmeup.
No wifi tissue paper for long term guests, they can be expensive in sri lanka.
Most local restaurants eat by hands, there are sink tap water soap
Quite safe, as a foreigner, there will be people looking, taking photos, smiling , teasing, getting close.
I suggest wear mask at the city, buses are very polluted. Try to relax, prwy chant. not all drivers are bad drivers.
Public toilets can be clean, not so clean and not clean.
Nice lakes, parks, rice fields about 30-40 minutes of tuktuk.
Colombo can be expensive so best know in advance how many days or weeks, i saw when i arrived 3000rupees, now 5000rupees.
I have great time, happiness kindness supports encouragment positivity faith .
Roads can be bumpy with up down small slopes to reduce speed, if you arent good with motorbike, i really dont really recommend. Sri lanka can be quite dark at night, with beautiful fireflies. Many small holes rocks. Roads up down hill, do not cycle in city.
Few occasions like very protective of the house and things, and saying unmindful things.
Quite expensive to live in colombo during holidays
I stayed in the small room with no windows, can be quite hot dark.
Personally, i dont like the smell of smoke , and the only place to hang out clothes at the main balcony. This happens in quite a few guesthouses too. I care about your wellbeing, but at the same time i tend to visit certain places often, like volunteering temples. Drug sex money alcohol fame fortune comfort attachment praise blame
I suggest people dont walk around using towels or very short undergarments, i know hot weather, rights, controversial, there is a monk men only temple opposite, one common toilet, i mean i can feel a bit awkward, also having to have the door and window open.
