I'm an American, who lives in Japan, who wants to visit Sri Lanka!
- Thread starter North Star
- Start date
If you really want to go on a trip to Sri Lanka, I'd suggest taking a map and going around the Island on foot, ie. with cash in your hand and going by bus or train which is quite an expierience (lifetime). Or at least that's something I would think I would have done were I a tourist.
You could start from Colombo and go south to Tissamaharamaya, where the Yala park is and fromthere northwards that should bring you to the mountain or hill range. EVentually you would visit Trincomalee and further North to Jafna.
But all these names are probably confusing for you. Either way it's not that big of a land, so even with relatively little planning I think that'd ought to bring you to all the worthwhile places in Sri Lanka.
Good luck and have a wonderful stay!!!!))
so what does the white ass smell like?
Altogether Sri Lankans are a very hospitable folk, friendly ( at least in the beginning lol) and helpful. As a tourist you will most probably only see a very innocent but sometimes shy and emotional touch among the people. The tendency towards jealosy for the most part directed among their own people will probably not be noticed by you. Oh and we can be very inquisitive.
I don't know what else to say.... oh yeah we shake our heads to the sides to express approval or simply yes.... Not really sure if the indians do that too.

pull your tongue outa his arse man
you are a walking irony
so, this means yes?I don't know what else to say.... oh yeah we shake our heads to the sides to express approval or simply yes.... Not really sure if the indians do that too.
and this means no?
does that translate into the internet as well?
it doesnt translate to the net. I havent seen anyone doing that here unless when they were agitated or unsure about what was asked.so, this means yes?
and this means no?
does that translate into the internet as well?
Good to know
Oh, sweet... je parle un peu de francais
Crazy, an American with Irish and french descent living in Japan and planning to visit Sri Lanka....Couldn't have been better.
...
Oh forget what I said... Sri Lankans are thouroughly Americanized anyways. At least among the youth... but I guess that's the case almost in every country with TV.
so, this means yes?
and this means no?
does that translate into the internet as well?
Only for Yes( actually for okay to be precise) , and rather sideways
Why not? I'm talking about "HA" like when saying Yes sir: " Ha Mahaththaya"
No parle francais....just got the blood in my veins, but it was americanized out Unfortunately! I do know a bit of Spanish though, as the U.S. has a very high spanish-speaking population these days. But as I'm in Japan, not really all that applicable to where I'm at now.
Regarding Sri Lankans being americanized. Actually I don't know! On this thread, seems like very international, great sense of humor, everything else. Maybe most posters have connections with UK, OZ, US, Can. and such??
That's something I guess I'll figure out later...

in that instance, while shaking the head, the question is vocally answered so it doesnt matter which way the head is nodded.
dunno about the others but I've no connection with any of those countries.No parle francais....just got the blood in my veins, but it was americanized out

I still have my doubts whether you really are what you say you are..There just seems to be some Sri Lankan touch into how you are writing.Who knows maybe in your last life you were Sri Lankan as how we would frequently come into conclusions like, but I guess I'll never know.
If you really are an American then I wish you all the best if you happen to visit Sri Lanka. Watch out for pickpocketers btw
I'm going now... Peace out
Maybe it's for another thread...
But, people in Sri Lanka have a near native command of the English language. I read about Simhala and Tamil...and English being a connecting language.
So, do most people speak excellent English, because it's the instruction of education? Newspapers and tv in English? Or is mostly in Simhala and Tamil and such?
I was getting the impression that most people here are 'diaspora', people of Sri Lankan ethnicity living outside of Sri Lanka...
Interesting, that at least for yourself, that's not the case at all...
I'll take that as a compliment!I still have my doubts whether you really are what you say you are..There just seems to be some Sri Lankan touch into how you are writing.Who knows maybe in your last life you were Sri Lankan as how we would frequently come into conclusions like, but I guess I'll never know.

I'm American, but I'm also living in Asia...so it's not like I'm stereotypical American with only hamburger and baseball references.
Also, it's not just 'the world' becoming Americanized...it's actually the world is become 'globalized'. So, regardless of a person's nationality, we can all easily learn and be influenced by each other in all kinds of different directions...
there are some here who falls in to that 'diaspora' category but most are within SL.
While English is a link language here and taught in schools, its not widely used in the country. The net users of SL are a minority and English speakers are high within that minority. Thats why you find a lot of English speakers here.
Osaka!
We're a bit too far south, no radiation concerns here, no tsunami, and only a few aftershocks.
I was up in Niigata when the big earthquake happened though, and felt many many aftershocks. Niigata is up in Northern Japan.
But, down here in Osaka, we're far enough way.
