    Male or Female ?

    Good ratios for the girls... 177 guys, and 9 girls. Well, girls, for every ONE of you, you get 20 potential boyfriends ;)

    Hikka Fest 2011

    But all the other photos were correct. I mean, just a lot of people dancing and drinking, both genders, men and women? Just trying to decipher how conservative the nightlife/drinking culture. But, I suppose Hikka Fest would be an exception anyways... I just have an image of Sri Lankan women...

    I'm an American, who lives in Japan, who wants to visit Sri Lanka!

    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.

    Who in SL has been to INDIA, and what culture shock did you experience?

    Being that Sri Lanka and India are different. Who here has been to India, and what culture shock did you experience? Meaning, what seemed quite alien to you, that you'd just never see in Sri Lanka? Also, where in India did you go, that you experienced/felt it?

    I'll take that as a compliment! 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...

    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...

    Hikka Fest 2011

    That makes sense. Brazil has a large Lebanese and other immigrant populations, probably mixed into the general brazilian ethnicity. Plus, you have european-brazilians. Actually it looks like something you'd see in Brazil...for sure. Now that you mention it :cool:

    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...

    Hikka Fest 2011

    Not really an orgy ...mostly just both genders (male and female) drinking and dancing a lot and having a lot of fun. Which is opposite of my impression of reading most other websites, that most Sri Lankan women stay home, and it's generally just guys who go out drinking and out late at night...

    Hikka Fest 2011

    Just viewing things on Sri Lanka. Saw there was a Hikka Fest 2009 and a Hikka Fest 2010. No reference anywhere on the internet of a Hikka Fest 2011? Is the event over with? No more? Was the Hikka Fest 2009 or 2010 like they depicted on the internet? I read somewhere that a lot of the...

    haha.... it's like you read my mind!! Irish ethnicity through father....but got some French on my mom's side. Somewhere in this thread, someone mentioned rap music...argh, I'm not into rap music at all! But, no problems from me if someone else is....I'm just an indifferent kind of...

    I'm an American, who lives in Japan, who wants to visit Sri Lanka!

    Not too sure. I think people in the Switzerland can have either French, German, or Italian blood....as they have all three languages in Switzerland. Not sure if all that much darker, but they probably do tan. But Irish ethnicity are so fare, we burn in the sun! Two shades, red and white. Not...
